Spanish American War Camp Metal Detecting Adventure

Join me and Dustin as we metal detect and search a farm way up across the Mason-Dixon. This is a permission of Dustin's that contains some beautiful farmland and the remains of a camp occupied by the US Army during he Spanish American war of 1898. The war lasted less than 4 months and caused the ultimate collapse of the Spanish Empire. The U.S. gained control of Cuba, the Philippine islands, Guam and Puerto Rico with a payment to Spain of $20,000,000. Remember The Maine!

Had a Great Time hunting with Beau! I look forward to our next adventure. I will be starting a youtube page in the next few weeks as I edit more videos. If anyone out there wants to hunt you can find me on facebook(Dustin D'Agostino), send me a friend request and message. I will only accept and reply to those who leave a message. Thanks again Beau, see you in the spring!

[@lesahanners5057]

Sure was a nice hunt Dustin. It's good to see Beau out diggin with friends. Would have been nice to see some still photo's of the camp from back in the day, when the guys were encamped there, but maybe there weren't any pictures taken? Still you weren't skunked and we got to hear about another small facet of our country's history. Nice going!

[@VickieV1333]

How bizarre how bizarre - 99 Red Balloons 🎈- Be vewwy vewwy quiet - I love you reference to music, movies, cartoons etc! This one was full of them! What an awesome explore, the Spanish American War, WOW!! I enjoyed your explore with Dustin, more Dustin!!

[@reginaromsey]

This is delightful. I like you single person searching, but this lets me imagine what it would be like to be physically out with you. Even though you prefer to hunt alone, you are a great hunting buddy.

[@rickatica]

My Grandpa was in that war, he mustered out in 1901.Charles Reuben Wilson, 39th Infantry Div.

[@MrMarcus725]

The Bob Ross of metal detecting 😂 Great video Mr. Chigger 👍

[@braddocksgarage]

The "spur" item looks to be a fence topper for an old style chain link fence. The round horizontal pipe would have slid through it (hence it's curvature) and kept it connected to the vertical fence posts.

[@janedewarray3970]

Bit of trivia, I'm a nurse that has worked long term care since 1985. I took care of a 105 year old MANY years ago that was a Spanish American war veteran...he lied about his age to join the army...

[@janvafa4253]

Iva Ray - a friend from my childhood (a neighbor I admired) did the same ... your patient wasn’t named Mr. Brand was he?

[@nefariumxxx]

Yep, my grandfather did same before WW2.

[@ZeroDiscrimination]

Thanks for sharing Mr Chiggles! I hope I get to see ya again this year in Texas. Happy Detecting and adventuring! ~ Gypsy

[@lesahanners5057]

Fun ramble at an old encampment Chigg. I always love how you get adventurous and wander off to explore. You never know what you may trip across that way and that rivulet could have been chock full of arrowheads. I'm an off the beaten path type of person myself and I like nothing more than poking around in odd places. Thanks for another interesting video and you weren't skunked and we weren't either. You told us some nifty things about the Spanish American War and just to see you hunting there in what is now a cornfield, but was then a group of nervous but courageous young soldiers encamped for training for some distant battlefield, was truly cool. Thanks a million.

[@kuhndog63]

It's amazing what damage we have managed to do to this country in such a short time here, trash everywhere.

[@ScooBdont]

The half circle your friend found reminds me of a stand for setting hot dinnerware on so it wouldn’t damage their table. I dismissed the idea at first because it’s small and I thought “why would that be in the middle of a field” till You found the thimble which is another household item. I’d guessing there might have been a house close to where you’re searching. 👍

[@calvinh.8882]

That thing y'all were saying looks like a spur, looks like a pole cap for old chainlink fence, and the rounded part is where the top rail would run through it.

[@snowballil3133]

That thing around 3:00 was the bottom of a light bulb. Yes theres actually glass in the part that goes into the socket, I've actually made a little vase out of a light bulb before.

[@myronp7413]

Snowball րհilօძεղძɾօղ that’s what I thought

[@jaybales3160]

That four leaf clover is going to bring you great luck in 2019. Looking forward to seeing the results.

[@jburritt426]

You both are priceless. So much fun.

[@janwarriner5037]

I love when you land detect, Beau.❤️😊

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

Great adventure... thank you for sharing your hunt.

[@tim9430]

@ 8:20 Dustin's response was awesome. Then the follow-up with the fake coin specs... He's funny, lol!

[@tim9430]

@ 16:28 It's hard to see the item as he's moving it around but it looks like it might be part of some kind of old light bulb or vacuum tube with the glass being an insulator for the wires. When he cleans it up he should be able to see if there are wires going through the glass.

[@BrianClunie]

Remember The Maine!!! No one in Maine remembers it...thank you for sharing, as always it was a great video.

[@davidedwards2868]

Thanks that was fun.👍👍

[@courtneesdad]

I can tell the Chigg doesn’t do much laundry 😂.

[@mrben6573]

I really enjoy these videos but I wish you'd bring along a bottle of soapy water and a soft toothbrush or something to clean up the more interesting finds. I would have enjoyed getting a better look at that four leaf clover. Looked like it had some interesting colored enamel on it maybe.

[@janvafa4253]

One of my neighbors growing up had run away from home to join the army during the Spanish American war ... he lied about his age and was put in to help with the mule trains that carried the supplies and equipment... it was there that he started learning about leatherwork by mending the tack... he became a saddler and made all sorts of custom leather goods... he even designed and made special saddles for disabled vets all over the country (and some international ones too...) a very neat gentleman!

[@stevenswan3977]

Love your videos chigg thanks for all you do!!

[@canadianrelichunters5259]

Well done Beau, great watch as usual . atb ;)

[@janvafa4253]

There are spurs without rowels ... used like you said ... for training horses ... when the horse is just starting out you don’t need much ‘encouragement’ (they are usually jumpy already ... so you just need something to get their attention) 😁

[@ScooBdont]

The piece you thought could be a scabbard end could also be the end of a belt or strap but I think you’re definitely on the right track. I’m watching your video now and I’m about halfway through.

[@walkingtrails7776]

Been singing " 99 red balloons" all day! Had to come back to comment lol. I think Chig was jamming out before this dig! How BAZAR! Lolol

[@OutdoorsygalO]

That looks like an awesome permission! That washer thing almost looks like a thing that goes around shoe cleats. Gromet with glass? A type of insulator? Was that your first thimble? I really LOVE that lighter coloured hat you were wearing in this video!!! Quartz? Check it for gold! 🤩 Enjoyed! Hit thumbs up! ❤️

[@JapanTreasureHunters1]

Great Video and Awesome finds!

[@keyfeather9838]

Such a fun hunt. seemed like it has a lot of neat treasures. Wish you could have kept going.

[@vin-r5384]

Awesome video. Really enjoyed it.

[@kinghousebd4748]

If you are in New Jersey in the spring or late summer I’d love to show you an 1880s town dump that I found.

[@mcpeake78]

22:32 Goes on a chain link fence top post cap

[@nostalgic80sguy27]

That corroded zinc penny was a metaphor of our decaying society and the end of days. Lol

[@perfectlyimperfect207]

By far my go to channel. Big fan of the Chigg!!

[@DAiken-jz1iu]

Great hunt!

[@rightleg5920]

Super cool video man! Lucky

[@three6ohchris]

That plastic thing with threads looked like an LED bulb

[@TheNickCrank]

definitely an led bulb

[@jessewilson8676]

Was going to say the same thing

[@XxMashadoxX]

I was thinking the same thing

[@dorfsteen]

It goes on top of a pole to a chain link fence it holds the top Pole that's like a what-do-you-call-it A finial or something but yeah that's a cap to a chain link fence it caps the top of a pole and hold a top pole I think

[@davidmtwigg]

EYE TOP CHAIN LINK FENCE LOOP CAP

[@dorfsteen]

@@davidmtwigg yeah that's the ticket thanks

[@mikebaize6971]

Mr.Beau I just want to say i dont care what crazy stuff u say like hold your breath or whatever i learn something new in every one of your videos its great so if the people who unsub u because u like to have some fun in your videos then I say their lost i ty from the bottom of my heart for all of your knowledge u share with me so keep on being u God bless you sir and have a great day and please HOLD YOUR BREATH lol

[@richardklapka5147]

I enjoy your history lessons. Very cool. Rk.

[@johnandrews2167]

I'm guessing that the ruins of that small building with the fox, was likely an old tool/storage shed to work on farm equipment while out in the fields. Later filled with misc junk once it was no longer used.

[@advenzures]

Super awesome adventure. Thank you for sharing. Happy Hunting.

[@derrielsmith5738]

fun thanks

[@loubarra]

Finished up strong

[@Wistful77]

So very cool. I have a completed diary by a soldier in the Spanish American war, he was at Luzon, PI, 1902. It's a precious little book, by Harry J. Shay of Pottsville PA -where they happen to have a nice statue of a soldier from that era. Wow great finds I am jealous. I so want to go back tp PA and visit Harry's grave.

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Good dig! Carry a toothbrush and a Dollar Store plant mister bottle to clean up the coins. Makes the finds immediately recognizable for the sake of the vid. Or not. Enjoy your day trips very much man!

[@taxidermist4]

The two pieces y'all found that looked like leaves go with the flower piece you found to make a brooch pin. I think anyway.happy hunting

[@lazyfox661]

That piece with the leather and the glass reminds me of an old license plate ,emphasis on the old.

[@craig4557]

LED for sure.

[@patriciadunn6602]

I really like watching you did..mainly because your reality started to watch some guys saying they were going to unearth the oldest bottle ever unearthed on film,well ,I could tell where they had "planted" it,earth different color and you could see where they tried to "make" it look like it was packed in the earth,needless to say turned them off...you da man

[@JustYaeWendt]

Very cool Sir. Looking forward to the next one. Let us know if your ever in Southern Ok.

[@davidedwards2868]

Always gets better before dark.👍

[@HistorySeekers]

Good video. You never know what is going to pop out of these Span Am camps for sure! We recently dug a soldier medal with his name on it.

[@JulianRamirez-dv5kv]

Lucky four leaf awesome day man

[@taggjill15]

You interrupted the fox doing his laundry

[@CMCrockett]

That white plastic thing you found around the 18 minute mark looked like it had LEDs on it.

[@BoshiYoshi]

Dang, we didn't get to see if the half circle metal piece you found fit together with the one your friend found! Was hoping you both found two halves of some ancient mystical amulet that will summon a demon or djinn or something when they're reunited.

[@WeldersOnly]

That one thing was probably a light bulb, look like it had LEDs on top and it was threaded on the bottom.

[@The_Warrior526]

The Hague Convention of 1899 set up the use of FMJ's

[@JESSTER3377]

Thanks for the vid!

[@garrykellogg3215]

18:18 is an LED Lightbulb.

[@IratePuffin]

I wish the woods where I live were like they are up East. I’d be in them all the time.

[@scottsmith4111]

Hey Bo good video you got some nice Vines there you and your friend

[@malcolmwasher2308]

if i ever met bo i dont think id ever not be able to like him he is such a likable guy lol id be like lets go detecting hahhaaha

[@charlesmurphy1840]

I’m hitting this area this week..pretty funny I live in this area.not this farm but right in this area

[@mikebremer3456]

The Chig always forgets something. 😁

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

I take it that you forgot your pin pointer again!!! LOL... I never forgot mine, for the simple reason I never had one to forget... LOL... Great video thanks for sharing. Be blessed... BBE..

[@westtexascountryboy2863]

20:59 looks like the inner parts of a pocket watch

[@jakerowe261]

The mystery thing around 3:00 is the bottom of a lightbulb, there it screws into the socket.

[@danieljensen4873]

Just a guess , but I think the thing you thought might be a spur is a chain link fence post cap. ( look up chain link fence cap with finial) .

[@followerofjesuschrist5213]

A neat trick. Wipe your forehead with your finger, and then use that finger to wipe over the date, sometimes it's the only way to see a date. True trick.

[@davideo1954]

Middletown is near Anytown, USA. My friend John Doe lives there! 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@jamesking2898]

Liked video, but would liked a cleaned wrap up. Keep up good work!

[@traceyhowe2116]

Great video Chigg. Looking forward to meeting you in NH at NONES.

[@notsure8041]

I'd like to have that farm sink laying in that shed.

[@UrbanDKaye]

Would love to see the button and the clover after clean-up.

[@muffmuncher99]

Would be cool if u showed us what they look like after u cleaned them. Thanks 👍

[@franksguns717doged8]

That was a hillbilly rock tumbler washing machine with Rock's LoL

[@jeremiahkennedy1683]

Getting closer to my area in Northeast Ohio. Columbiana county right on the Sandy beaver canal.

[@dougalexander7204]

Interesting location, lots of “I don’t know what it is”. Liked the 4 leaf clover best.

[@MacSqueeky]

The piece of metal found at the 23 minute mark strongly resemble a chain link fence post finial.

[@joshfrears6694]

Looks like the top of a fence pole

[@billy_in_4c]

10:14 - This comment you said made it clear who does the laundry at the Chigg household.

[@janvafa4253]

Not a washer ... ancient Celtic ring money!! 🤪😜

[@BamBamz_Buildz]

The pease that the other guy found chigg said looks like it maybe a training sper, I believe it is the decorative pease for a chain link fence.🤔😂

[@ChristopherHayniedd980]

Today Mr. Chiggs history lesson is about gun cartridges. 🤣🤣🤣

[@danielrichard6122]

That peace at time 22:50s is a top peace of a chain link fince the top pipe runs threw

[@hiznbrg]

yup tinyurl.com/y7s7lxmc

[@ppowerproductions2953]

The spur thing is I think the top to a chain link fence I believe

[@exploringwithnug]

You always hunt in the best spots. Ya need to find the gold.

[@allannoah9675]

The grommet/glass item at 3:00 looks like the base of a lightbulb or screw in fuse to me.

[@craig4557]

Chigg, you were an hour from my house!

[@Karen-mk6sq]

I want that hat!!

[@stephencurry599]

Top of a chain link fence post. Found 100s of them. The item at 22.26

[@will-da-beast4628]

How many gold coins have you actually found? You talk about going to find them, so just curious how many you have actually found.

[@nefariumxxx]

they are rare. possibly none. it's to build excitement.

[@hardyakka6200]

you have to much fun

[@maysontylar8802]

Chigg is in my state! Happy hunting and safe travels👌
