    You can't beat watching The Chigg in it's natural habitat.
    Searching through the undergrowth for his favourite things, his ability to hunt out awesome civil war relics is renowned the world over...now if only we could train him on truffles...
    It was truly great to see and hear the absolute joy as it was uncovered. Made my night and I'm across the pond!
    Peace

    Thank you for whatever it is you do to keep the signal beeps comfortably low in the video. Honestly it's the part of metal detecting that bugs me the most (I have misophonia), and unfortunately my Garrett AT400 doesn't have volume control. I wish it worked like my Dr. Otek pinpointer--no sound at all, just vibration and LED 4-color signals. Not only does it not bug me; using it feels so much more natural. I don't know why, maybe because solid objects are things we can feel and see, not hear, so detecting them accordingly seems more real.

    Hey Beau, you pointed out that cornerstone of a house and I was thinking...I might be wrong but it seems that when I was very young I was told that when they built a house with a cornerstone, they placed a coin of some sorts under the cornerstone for good luck or blessings or something. Hey buddy...isn"t it worth a look?

    Awesome find Beau, that was once proudly cleaned and worn with great pride.
    The broken plate, made me as an a Veteran of what many including myself have done in destroying these items and throwing them away...
    Could be where he lived post war, or pre war and came back to a destroyed home.
    The dates of the nails would suggest destruction prior to the 1880's with no attempt to rebuild.
    In an imaginative mind you could see an Officer with his gold plated plate finding nothing left and throwing it away saying what was the point.
    But hey I over think things...but you just never know.
    Great hunt and journey around a beautifully constructed old homestead, the person who built it must have been very proud of it.
    All the best
    Charlie 🇬🇧

      I knelt down next to one last summer, dug an IHP, and noticed all these bees flying past me. I looked to my right at the rotting log 3 feet away and there at the bottom of it was the hole facing right at me. My heart skipped a couple beats. But somehow they never came after me. I backed away veeeery slowly and counted my blessings.

      KD8GIS Bruce I found an old road on the map at the crossing we detecting where I have that permission. The road disappeared before 1930. We should hit that later this Spring. Mostly wooded and then it went upstream in shallow water before crossing the creek back into woods.

Just thought I,d let you know. You'll be the first detectorist on CZcams who can call them by their proper name now. It will be fun to see who else starts. You'll know if the others are watching your videos when they catch on too. Keep that coil to the soil my man.
