- This is still my first day of metal detecting in Indiana, but it is the second half of the day. Matt and I decided to check out one of the last fields that was not yet freshly plowed in the hopes of finding some Indian stone tools while we search with metal detectors. I search along the stream and soon begin finding old pottery, glass, and iron on the surface near a small hill above the stream. It is the beginning of a great hunt that only gets better when we return the next day after the ground was turned over for planting. We even find some arrowheads and Indian stone tools!
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.

Please join Matt (he has never metal detected) and me as we explore some properties out Indiana way. We feel summer creeping in as the fields are being planted all around us, but we never slow down. This is part two of the first days detection.
Please check out Matt's CZcams channel here, he is a popular Gamer and has a great channel. czcams.com/users/Skullzi
What do they plant in that field ?
That 1867 Indian head penny is worth over $60 even in that condition. You could get even more $$ if somebody collects for the blue patina.
@@jasonhuntley9927 Wheat penny?
@@terryl4219 sorry Indian head. Editing.
@aquachigger i could put you on to a fort from war of 1812 in southern indiana near cincinnati
Imagine starting off in metal detecting with Chigg as your mentor, dude won the instructor lottery.
No instructor needed.
In 20+ years detecting in Michigan I have never found a flat button. I have found a number of old coins dating to the early 1830’s but never anything older.
Are flat buttons supposed to be older than 1830? I have found a few flat buttons here in Kansas City but I wasn’t thinking they were that old.
Awesome!! Thanks again for coming to Indiana!
Go Chigg, you still got it! Get and keep those young people interested in this great past time. for the family God bless you! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
A lot of interesting treasures in that big field thanks for taking an old man along
How ya been chigg! You've inspired me to start metal detect years ago and I'll love it forever. Love the mystery of what might be hiding under the Earth! Love from Michigan, thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos. It feels like I'm hanging out with family when I watch them!
Thanks. Happy to hear you enjoy the little adventures.
at 2.33 into the video I was thinking the iron piece may be a leaf spring bracket of some sort
Thank you for another great video.
Growing up in Cass county use to find shells on the Wabash river that had holes cut in them from button manufacturers use to find close to islands
I've seen the same from Wisconsin. Have several in my collection. (Prairie du Chien)
Tecumseh brother has a village close to where you are at called prophet town
I've found she'll buttons on the Mississippi River Bank in my hometown in Des Moines county Iowa. We had a button factory here and one up the river in Muscatine. North of town, a friend of mine used to hunt arrow heads and artifacts in a couple of farm fields. Burlington, Iowa area was known by the native Americans as a good place to find excellent flint. South of town, my oldest boy found a complete flint knife blade by a pond in a subdivision. I'm imagining there may have been more there even though the land had much disturbance from the new housing put up in the early 70s.
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother
That surprised chuckle when you found the large cent made me smile. 😁 Thanks for sharing your adventures, Sir Chigg.
Chiggs a fantastic day of finds. Love the coins and arrow heads. Keep having fun and being a mentor.👏😀👍
@12:00 that looks like an old E26 or 27 ceramic light bulb base (E for Edison)
I live in indiana and would love to be able to walk those fields. You are a lucky man
Not a bad haul Chigg great video GOD BLESS
Thank you Matt for sharing this spot with Beau (and us)...wishing you lots of success detecting and lots of exciting finds mate.
That lead pipe piece looks like half a babbot bearing, possibly from a saw mill
Love seeing ya in Indiana Beau. My home state!! Love the green Indian Head penny. See ya on the next one, MIKE
Had a lot of fun there.
Awesome finds Mr. Chigg!! Chigg's song is officially my ringtone, I added it about two weeks ago and I'm amazed how many people know the tune!!
That Indian head was awsome......nice patina. ..alota good finds ..mist avoid plowed fields lol atleast by me..they assume it's picked or plow smashed
We love chiggz in upstate NY
Thanks
Great hunt , thanks for the pics at the end!!
Saturday Chigg. Your piece @ 2:42 looks like part of a child's roller skate, they are adjustable, and you have the heel end. I had one in the 1960s. 12:07 castor off an old lounge armchair? Great finds.
All day! ;)
12:12 I have found several. I remembered seeing them as a child on furniture at my grandmother’s house. My grandmother still has a child’s toy/mini antique piano with them on it and also a Stickly brothers display cabinet with them.
Great day for you guys outdoors good luck for Matt see you again on the next episode stay blessed and the cat 🐈🙏👍🙋♂️🍺
15:25 Look's Like a Bushing Off Like a Track Hole Or a Backhoe. 😎👍✌.
Cool finds chigger those coins are really nice. Lots of other neat stuff too
That round white thing you found around the 12 minute mark looks like half of a broken insulator that would attach near the house.
@ 12:30 Matt found a babbitt bearing. Old lead based bearing used on farm equipment
Great finds brother thank you so very much for sharing ✌️👍👍🇺🇸
Nice finds, Chigg. Always fun to go along for the ride with your little excursions.
Definitely a place worth revisiting. That cuff lnk is pretty cool. I found a Black/reddish glass button in a noke with a square nail
Hello Chigg, as you probably know already, the Indian Head penny you want is the 1877. Thanks for sharing your awesome video's.
I knew the gal that lost all of her porcelain undergarment buttons.
In fact , We ALL knew her. This was a great, back to basics video.
Indiana is a very special place. Well I do live here but you'll always see crazy stuff for sure!
That ceramic wheel appears to be off a mobile tray or chair. I have often seen ceramic wheels like that.
The one find is babbit from a bearing. Its pored into the bearing like lead.
Ah yes, that makes sense. Thanks
The part 2 was awesome, great finds. Even it it wasn't a Silver coin it was a great find none the less. Thanks Chigg , another new hunter hooked for life just like we are... That's great.
Lots of cool stuff in Indiana if you know where to look...
Great show...great field full of goodies...great permission...thanks Chigg!
Thanks for sharing another great adventure 👍
Now that’s a good day!
My eyes are bad, I can never see it until you zoom right into it.
Thanks Chigg 🤘😎 I’d be tempted to throw one of those points in my everyday carry knife rotation.
Thanks so much, I appreciate that!
My dad I have found numerous items from the civil war through out the years. Eagle breast buckle, us belt buckle,all kinds of bullets and coins. All up in northern Indiana. Plus some arrow heads. Nothing like the feeling when you find something with historical significance like that.
Yep, you got that right. Congrat's!
Hi Chig, that dirt looks perfect for eye balling, swinging & putting a shovel in! I was trying to figure out what crop was there last year? What a nice place to eyeball & swing it!! Rk
It only lasted this one day. They tilled it the next morning...lol.
Love the way Utube puts your old videos up on my new phone. I enjoy all of them! Rk.
Could that first iron thing be a spring shackle to a wagon?
White porcelain looking thing with iron in it looks like an older style electric fence insulator.
Dang feller, you got access to a dream!! 😊
When looking for native American artifacts, i happened to find a Canadian 1890's copper penny... in southern Illinois.
So many plowing’s over the years, beating the finds, surprised anything survives.
Your right next to me! I watch your channel with my kids. They can’t believe your so close lol
Chigg I was thinking that white wheel device maybe a cabinet swivel wheel with the metal detreated.
Hi Im new sub today found your channel really enjoy video thank sir
Glad to see you here.
Hey Beau, that's exactly the type of field I love to look in for Native American artifacts! Found my share in my day! (I'm in Ohio). I could spend all day in that field. Actually I HAVE spent all day in fields like that. Not so much now with a shattered & rebuilt hip. I'll leave that to the younger guys like you.
We do have a civil war history. Of course there were Union military units from Indiana but please read about Daniel Morgan's Raiders and their strike up through southern Indiana.
There was a confederate raid in southern Indiana during civil war close to the Ohio river
John Hunt Morgan and his raiders.
They barely made it into Ohio before the raid was abruptly halted by the North.
@@Mayor_Juana I couldn't remember his name not to many knows about it learned in the 60s in Indiana history
Muckport/corydon Indiana had some civil war activity
Shoals Indiana had a little civil war activity a union train was derailed moving union troops across country from Illinois to the eastern states supposedly done by the klan supporting the south
revolutionary war history in Vincennes Indiana
Tippy co. In. is a great relic hunting grounds.
@12:20 I think that's a babbitt bearing.
If I had known you were visiting I would have joined you in the search.
Just south of Corydon Indiana is a civil war battleground.
Beautiful coins brother if you want to part with them my friend
You all did really well.
Well if id have known you were next door id have taken the ride. Im working on The War of 1812 this year. Ohio has quite a bit of history involving the war. Not just the Battle of Put-in-Bay. And i know where you were hunting in Indiana. That would have been a nice tie in with what im doing. Glad you got another dirt fisher hooked! 👍.
Some really nice finds in that field. Thanks for the video Beau.
Oh my gosh I can't believe you were in Indiana and doing another upload!! Now chigger you got to let me know when you're in Indiana again please!!!! I promise I will not let you down I got some hot spots like HOT!!!!!!!
Awesome day. Thanks for sharing.
Get a good rest..really enjoyed this adventure ❤
That ring with the spike looks like a picaroon. Used for moving wood..
Large cents are every where. They are the stinking Lincoln’s of old. You can find at least a couple in every farm field around. Well in Indiana anyway.
Thank you for taking us on your Adventure.
I wonder if the long stone blade is a scraper for scraping hide. Sharp on one side, blunt on the other.
Thank you
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Great introduction to metal detecting for Matt & also to be accompanied with such an awesome mentor as yourself. You made some great finds Chiggs ! The large coppers & the Indian head penny are sweet finds. Love the arrowhead & spear or knife point you found too. Always enjoy your adventures & best regards !
That Indian Head penny was probably the best example of one I've ever seen and what a patina!! All the best Chigg from Queensland Australia 🙂👍⛏🍺
A large cent ( a coin)
Looks like an old fashioned roller skate, half of it.
Nice!! A button and a half from some poor ole gals' unmentionables! Haha!
Most Awesome 👍
Most awesome finds.
Congratulations on the largie. Thanks Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE see you on the next 😊
that almost looked like the rear of a roller skate minus the wheels.
Awesome! I want a brown Aqua Chigg hat!
Chiggs Army hat I meant
I just ordered an at max!!!
The big white ceramic piece was part of an insulator for knob and tube wiring
You found one of the wheels to the half of roller skate.😀
Somebody needs to inform Clairitin that the "most wonderful time of the year is NOT Spring" !
I found an OVM belt buckle in Indiana... You just never know what you'll find, where.
Hey Chigg and whoever else is with you
that grooved rock .. an artifact of the Kickapoo tribe -- shaft straightener for arrows -- one in that condition is a really nice find
Time stamp?
Try 24:13 Chigg…By the by luv your vids,I know your havin fun cause is shore would be…..😊
Found one here in NC from the Slap-A-hoe tribe
Awesome as always
Howdy
Howdy!
Aloha Chigg, Was that another large cent just to the right of the one you got? Iron piece from a planter? Chemtrails. Grooved rocks used to shape, sand and sharpen spears etc. Porcelain wheel, kitchen furniture.
At 2:38 part of a Chev. motor mount,1958 to 1964
It's a shackle for a leaf spring. Looks smaller so off a boat trailer or utility trailer of some kind.
That first rusted metal piece looked like a bicycle seat support - just a guess
The metal piece at 3:00 I think would be a hub wrench for a wagon.
People don't realize how much history is here in Indiana, one example being Morgans raiders camped 1/2 mile from where I grew up. We all have that collection of Indian points, and stories to tell.
Battle of Corydon.
@@wheezyjefferson9136 I lived in Ripley County, Indiana, Morgans Raiders came through here on the way to Ohio. Another small claim to fame is that Lincoln's train on the way to his inauguration, stopped here where I live now in Decatur County to give a speech at the train station.
Could that metal piece be half of an old skate?
Love seeing the flint tools, flint is a big part of our archeology here in England and it's really cool to see the same technology being used by a completely different culture from a different time, probably made using the same techniques.
The blade looks like alibates flint from my part of Texas, sure looks like alibates flint.
Just may be. Things like obsidian and flint were traded between tribes. Native Americans had region wide commerce.
