Metal Detecting : Exploring Old Farm Equipment : Cool Zippo Lighter
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 04. 2022
- Today Mike and I metal detect and explore one of my old haunts. We both find some relics and I stumble across, dropped in the woods, a Zippo lighter that has a pic of the U.S.S Dwight D. Eisenhower and '69 on it. (edited description, new info received)
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.

The Zippo is from the aircraft carrier the USS Dwight D Eisenhower CVN-69. I was on there in the early 90’s during Dessert Shield and that was the same lighters on the ship then. Thanks for the video!
Outstanding. Yep, the VI is the date stamp. From 1990.
69 nice
My brother was on NIMITZ CVN-68 in early 80's. I was Army 81 - 94

I like Mike
Chigg.love your stuff.my dad ows 27 acres in Vermont..alot of history..I have always wanted to do a real hunt but those I bring aren't into digging like I am.if your in the area let me know I'd be my honor to meet you brother..they dnt make em like you anymore.
Hey Chigg, you should make a video featuring some of the coolest stuff you've dug up, I think a lot of people like myself would be interested since you have so many videos.
@@tramsramsey good point..chigg is the man at digging.he out the time in and is the last to leave..like anything that's the way to do it
@aquachigger When you come to Arkansas I’ve got several properties to detect for civil war relics where they camped and they also had numerous skirmishes, if you travel back to the west let me know. I was the one who wrote the area commissioners for you and tried getting the attention out that they need to do their job.
Poor John carried that lighter since retiring from the navy in '69 only to drop it in the woods as he was running and swatting at a swarm of yellow jackets after disturbing their nest.
"We have plenty of time before the storm hits!" Famous words from the Chigg.
In the 60's and 70's I collected Zippo lighters, from several ports around the world and bought some from the ships store. I sent them home to my Dad. I even got some from while I was in Vietnam, good finds Chigg.
Aquachigger I love old farm tools I had to start a martial deisel tractor you used a shotgun shell and a crank all I say if you use the crank you had to remove crank once it started or it fly off who knows where 👍🇮🇹🐾🦊
Can't believe the old farm equiptment just wasting away , someone would love to restore those.
Chig. Do a video about morel hunting. Show us what to look for!
I have an old tractor for sale, with no seat and no steering wheel. It's still great for someone who has lost their arse and doesn't know where to turn.
😂🤣😭😭💀
We were going to go today metal detecting but it started hailing here so your video will do nicely
Thanks for taking us along 👍
That scream you made when you opened the machine thing and found the mouse nest is the exact scream you make when someone accidentally opens the bathroom door whilst your using it, or walks into the room as you're getting changed 😂 literally everyone has done this.
The first machine I think is a binder to make shocks to stack for later thrashing .
100% i used one with grandpa ;)
Nice video. That Zippo is cool !
Another great video Chigg 👍if your in the woods or down by the creek the morels come out when the ferns (fiddleheads) emerge from the ground.
Thanks on info on that type of bees!
Zippo has life time warranty
On the equipment that had its own motor = the motor probably was an " V - 4 Wisconsin Motor "
Most usually used on hay baillers or rakes.
Classic Chigg. Anything and everything is fair game on his adventures. Morals, artifacts, farm equipment, running from a storm.
I have that same lighter I BOUGHT when stationed on USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER CVN 69. I was part of the Commissioning Crew. That was in 1977. But you could still buy those Zippo Lights TODAY. Nice find thought.
Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE see ya on the next
LOL I spotted the Chigg hat on the antiques farm equipment, great day in the fields.
Neat old farm equipment, Thanks Beau.
2:33 is where I’m at I’ll finish watching tomorrow Chigg be safe and GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏
CHIGG YOU TAKE US ON COOL ADVENTURES LOVE MR CHIGG 💟💟
That tool makes me think of a can opener
That is a pretty cool place. I think ya did good. Thanks for the good hunt.
Hey Chigg! Love your videos, always so positive, informative, and fun! They've actually inspired me to go out and find my own treasures. Just yesterday I went to an old dump that closed back in the 40's (so I've been told) and found some bottles, marbles, and other goodies. Would love to show you sometime just to see what you think.
Hope you're having a great day! Good luck on your future adventures!
I'm always amazed at the farm equipment I come across in my backwoods exploring. Many many reasons for this- most lead back to heartache, as the farmers and their families fell upon hard times. Mother Nature ALWAYS claims them for her own!
The thin headed tool could be a can opener.
That's what I was thinking.
The "A" and "VI" on the Zippo puts the date of manufacture at January of 1990. Great video, Chigg!
Yup, that is indeed a Wisconsin engine. Still used by Amish around here.
Hey Chigg,you ever been to Cool Springs park and restaurant store in Rowlesburg WV.? They have a ton of stuff there. Its along the route to Petersburg wv and the smoke hole cavern area.
zippos are date coded on the bottoms . Always interesting adventures with you. Thank you
Humm the Elderberry is coming along, now is the time to trim the blackberry and salmon berry before they leaf out!
The engine looked like a V4 engine. I think those are rare. Sometimes they converted some cylinders to air compressors so it's a v4 with 2 combustion and 2 air compressor cylinders. I may be wrong though.
"A VI" on the Zippo dates it to January 1990
The equipment had motors because PTO had not been invented yet. Ford and Ferguson did not come up with it till the forty's I believe. Thanks Chigg good memories God save our Republic.
👍Always very entertaining👍
Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
the ramrod could also be the center pin/rivet from plated grape shot.
Old machinery like that cries to be restored and in a museum. Yup, that is a 69, not uncommon for sailors to get those to commemorate their time aboard. Some sailor is sad somewhere missing his zippo.
Great finds. Love the farm equipment
Awesome finds
Totally loved your video! super interesting finds. This is why I love metal detecting!
Thanks Chigg
i have alot of historical things like that but one thing that stood out to me is a sort of pyramid shaped piece of concrete that says 1889 on the bottom of it, found it when i moved to this property.
Cool finds
Chigg in his element! Love it!
@7:23 that little deely reminds me of an old tin opener maybe? possibly a reason behind all those tortoise shells :o
Nice too see no natives yelling at you this time
the piece of equipment that had the sickle bar cutter was an Allis Chalmers 60 combine, the engine was mounted to the bailer because the tractors of that era did not have a pto the engine was a V-4 Wisconsin those engines were used for everything we had one on our old forklift at our shop those were very good engines!
It's probably all of the chem trails killing the box turtles
Keep em coming ,Chigg !!
more detectin more diggin LETS GO
That one rusting piece of equipment is an old manure speeder. We had an updated version at our ranch in Wyoming…. Now, you could restore those pieces of equipment and have another channel…. Ha. Thanks…..
I took the top off my dad's bee hive once. Just once.
I have replaced a lot of those teeth back on grampas farm. New tooth, a couple rivets and a ballpeen hammer and bingo you're done
That Zippo is from 1990 according to their date chart
A while back I was watching one of those wildlife officer shows, either Maine or New Hampshire. They were finding dead box turtles and claimed it was crows killing them.
I won't add a link to the comments but there is a growing concern about the fate of the box turtles. The fact you are finding the shells in the woods and not near roads (and they are not crushed) show it must be a disease or issue with the habitat.
All that equipment should be in a museum, shame it’s rusting in the woods
Hey Beau. If you like old farm machinery, you should check out the Rough and Tumble engineer's museum in Kinzer Pennsylvania. Not too far from you. They have a couple shows of antique steam and gas engines that are world class. Spring and Fall. I would be interested seeing your reaction to these 100 year old machines still running and doing their thing.
Funny the one piece of farm machinery was called 'ONTARIO', that is the province in Canada where I live. The piece was made in the USA.
Love to buy the old horse equipment
It's strange to think that when those pieces of farming equipment were parked up there, it was cleared land and now it's all in the middle of woodland. They should probably be in a museum somewhere.

Thnx wikipedia
Hey to Mike to
Chigg!
I did that with a hornets nest. I didn't see it and when I swung the detector I hit it....and ran about a quarter mile.
Hi chigg are you planning to do any more river hunters in the uk.
You can send that Zippo to the factory and they’ll send you some new Craftsman tools. Err…wait.. that doesn’t sound right.
I'm trying to move one of those New Holland balers at the moment. Heavy and sunk in the ground.
👍👍😊
I've read that box turtles are declining in population, so assessment appears correct.
1st piece is a thresher I believe and the 2nd is a manure spreader.
I had a bumble bee in colorado the other day bog one
Chiggs 👌👍🏽🍺
this is so much fun I want to get a metal detector and take up the hobby ! I would so love to find an old historical gun as you have, in other videos, especially if it could be made to function !
Real zippo lighters are easy to date, for a good while now they'r had very easy to decipher date codes.
CVN 69 is just the ship number not sure when it was built but have seen it in person
The zippo was made in 1990 you can tell by the a and the Vl stamp
that round ball is a 69 caliber bullet and that flat button is from 1790's-1820's.
🤩🤩🤩🤩
chigg that unknown "tool" is a can opener. That new Holland is an Australian firm. The first combined harvesters were invented in Australia at the end of the 1800's They set up factories in America. Suddenly 1n the 1920-30s international harvester started to produce them without a by your leave. I think court cases followed. Just like the large computer makers pinched the WIFI from Australia until they were taken to court.
When you say dropped bullet, would you mean that a soldier would have had ammo in their pocket and threw it out so they could run without the baggage?
or it got wet and was no longer going to fire.
@@aquachigger nice! I wouldnt have even thought of that unless it had happend to me
The zippo was made in 1990, date code on bottom. 😎
are you going to try and track down the owner of the Zippo?
Howdy
Howdy backatcha.
😀
that is sad about all of the turtles
I live about an hour from where the zippo is made.the zippo is guaranteed for life or were.
😊👍👍👍👍🌎🌞
The machine with the roll of wire on it is probably a hay bailer
69 on the lighter can be the ships number, as in CV-69, conventional powered, non nuclear, hull number 69. CVN would be nuclear powered.
Zippo manufactured in 1990
The date on the Zippo is January of 1990?
dang... kinda looks like it. I went on someone's opinion but it looks like a 1990 date code. I don't know nuttin
'bout birfin no zippos.
Thanks for another great video.. really appreciate the time and knowledge you put into videos.. its always interesting content
The rusty wrench may be a tapped adjustment tool,.
M.
Tappit wrench
That's a newer Zippo.
