  • Please join me and RelicManMatt as we search an old home that dates back to the 1700's. This home was once owned by Matt and he lived there and metal detected the yard over the course of seven years. At that time he was using a Garrett Ace 150 and found many colonial coins, Spanish Reales, Civil War buckles, bullets, and buttons. We had hoped that he probably missed a lot that we would be able to hear with newer machines. You can check out Matt's CZcams channel here: / @relicmanmatt
    About Aquachigger:
    I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
    metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my CZcams "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
    BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

    That lead ingot are wheel balancing weights they stick to inside of your alloy rims that’s why they have weights stamped on them, as they come in different sizes lol

    • @aquachigger

    • @greenwoodsbushhogging6704
      @greenwoodsbushhogging6704 Před rokem +1

      ​@@aquachigger they're "sticky weights" they have some serious sticky tape that sticks around the inside of the rim. Typically used on fancy wheels because they don't scratch the bead area.

    the "lead solder ingot" is a stick on wheel weight for balancing wheels, goes on the inside barrel of the wheel. each segment is a pre determined amount so you can break off what you need.

    Indeed that fuse did bring back memories.
    The one of few arguments I remember my parents getting into was over a fuse like that. We burnt a fuse something like that and my dad put a penny in it just until morning. (Most store back then closed at 8pm) My mother had a fit! Said he was trying to burn down the house lol. I didn't see the problem with it, it worked. I guess I'm a old timer 🤷‍♀️🤣
