- Indian artifacts everywhere!
Please join me as I journey to and attend the first "Digstock" event that was recently held in Eastern North Carolina. Digstock is a paid event where anyone can buy a ticket to metal detect on leased farmland for a fun-filled weekend of digging and camaraderie. This video is the first part of the second day. I have edited the event videos to maintain a 15-20 minute viewing time. I saw some really rare and very historic finds at this event and I hope you tag along to see how a Digstock works. Kudos to the event organizers for their hard work in providing a fun, family-friendly metal detecting event open to all.
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.

Gosh I love seeing people who get as excited about this stuff as I do!
The bearded guy is awesome, so enthusiastic.
Digging in the dirt, finding neat stuff , hanging out with cool folks, just solid good times----- love it !!!
Like a bunch of kids in a toy store; the excitement is quite contagious. I think I had almost as much fun as you guys did.
that dude's enthusiasm and energy are super infectious! I hope you dig with them more in the future, he's pretty entertaining.
Gosh that guy with the passion for indian artifacts at the beginning of the video has the kind of energy that rubs off on everybody and just makes experiences much more meaningful, i love people like him, shoot i love that guy!..You found a great arrowhead in like 30 seconds, that blew me away, i love watching and learning something and i sure did today.
You need to do more with the ginger guy ....hes got an interesting personality
Who was that guy?
Guysadventure you tube channel I think he said
Ginger is a plant, not a person.
Very enthusiastic fella. He suits the chiggs personality perfectly.
His energy is brilliant
Seeing adults enjoying discovering things like kids. Awesome 👍 Given the Chigg's personality I bet he makes a lot of friends.
Hello, great video... I really enjoyed it, even though I am Guys mom, I still get excited seeing him having fun on his adventures.... he is such an incredible person and loves life and everything that it has to offer, that I am always proud to call him my own.
Love you, mom
Growing up here in eastern central Ohio, my friends and I would hunt arrow heads all the time. Especially in the spring when the farmers would disc the fields and after a light rain. You could just walk the rows, and while not letting your eyes focus on any certain spot, slowly scan from sis to side and anything sparkling. We would find bunches of arrow heads and some spear points. My one buddy found a hand hammer that was rounded on the end with finger grooves worn in. Great times and memories!
Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE see ya on the next
Absolutely loved the excitement and positive energy! Great video!
Way too much fun! I'd be out there with a headlamp. Thanks for all the cool finds.
That was so cool I love finding arrowheads in fact I would rather hunt them than eat and I love to eat. Thank you so, so much for sharing. God bless you
This was really cool. Nice change from just metal detecting. Thank you for sharing ♥♥♥
It is a delight to see those really interest in Indian artifacts be rewarded with great finds.
Really enjoyed this episode I want to see more
I think I'd be all about screening that place 👍😎👍
This is the second time I've watched this video and it just makes me smile! 😊 all you boys out there just having FUN
You guys were having such a great time. Awesome and exciting. Congrats!
Always amazing. Wish I had the health to be your shadow for a year. And thank you for all the education you so willingly give out daily. Again Thank You.
Good times, good dudes, great video.
Very cool, never knew you could find artifacts that way . Sand is key ..
Awesome finds chigg. Great native artifacts. What a great place to dig arrow heads an other native artifacts. I'm sure its loaded with them, from what i've seen you guys are finding in the fields. I'm sure at some time that was an Indian camp at some point in time. As you know anytime there is water around they were there. It's so exciting an awesome to find those native artifacts. That have been laying there waiting to be found from thousands of years gone bye. Great video chigg. Always love finding native artifacts from many years ago. It's kind of like land, they don't make it any more. That's the real artifacts, that were made by many different native tribes hundreds an thousands of years ago around the world. Catch ya on your next adventure chigg. As always safe an happy detecting/digging.😁👍👍
wow I love that sand digging . good stuff Chigg 💥👍🏴☠️
My kind of fun. Big people digging in the dirt.
I love the energy radiating out of that field. I had a smile on my face throughout the entire video. Guy is awesome too, Chigg!
There’s nothing like playing in a sandbox. 😜 That looked like fun. Good company that day it seems. Learning a bit about native points is interesting. Would love to find one someday.
What fun! The joy leaked right through the screen!! Loved it!
This has been one of my favorites of this series!!! Looks like a great time and easy digging lol
Edit: this is my favorite video of the past year!!!
Oh wow!!! I sooooo wish I was there with you guys finding artifacts!!!!
What a fun time. I hope you spend more time with these guys. This is great finds.
Really good segment Chigg , very interesting. Really makes you wonder what the area looked like a few thousand years ago there .
Very interesting video, thanks for posting.
That's incredible considering how large that field is, to be able to pick a spot at random and find numerous artifacts. That point found by the gentleman with the gray/white hair appears to be a Stanley. If the base is bifurcated then I would say it is and would date to the archaic period, 10,000 - 3,000 years old! The dude with the bag of rocks found a really nice Yadkin.
Wow!!! I just imagine what those arrowheads went through. Im sure the native Americans had alot of those. Such awsome finds. Great video👏💖
Ya bunch of rock nerds...so awesome!!
I enjoyed this video, lots of fun.
Seems like a great time was had! I enjoyed this video! Some good folks it seems.
Always something for me to learn. Thanks as always for sharing.
Awesome finds with some awesome people. Youre living the dream my friend.
awesome!
and the crew was awesome too!
that was awsome chig ,would like to see more indian artifact digs
Unfortunately, if it's done willy nilly it's no better than looting.
Nice very nice I need to go looking soon be safe Chigg GOD BLESS
I had no idea about this hobby, it’s actually something an older person could do. I could dig in sandy soil.
Like real estate it's location location location, best hobby ever.
I use to do this as a kid in Missouri
Cousins would take me arrowhead hunting
What a good time we had!!
I didnt know it was a hobby until a few years ago, I'm so glad other people are as weird as me.
Making great memories and even better friends GREAT VIDEO!!
Love those arrowheads!!😊👍💓🍀
Loved that hunt chigg,, my husband and I were just out yesterday looking for arrowheads, as the ground up here in MI is still frozen, thanks for the new method, I hunt along streams and in plowed fields
My property used to be an Indian Reservation. Before 1887. Have maps we do our research
Pretty interesting finds, I'd love to own one myself. Thanks Chigg for the incredible dig!!⛏🥄
One of the best Chigg videos I have seen in a long time, really enjoy the native american artifact hunting, also really enjoyed your new friend and his passion for the past.
I love arrowhead hunting. Been doing it for 40 years, but I cant see me actually digging for them. With that said though, "No till" has had me hitting the creeks. I just might give this a shot.
17:50 was an old point!!!! My favorite one. Great vid🤛
I live in NC and when I was a kid I use to see points in the fields and creeks where I grew up. Sad thing now all that land has been developed and all traces of the past are pretty much gone now.
That dude from the swamp is pretty awesome. I'd like to see you dig with him more.
aweome episode..beard guy is one cool guy
Wow, love this video. Indian artifacts are my favorites. Ty
This guy’s energy is amazing!!!!
very cool..ive been hunting native artifacts for 40 years...all the stuff your finding is considered mississippi valley era ..way cool....must of been a big camp there..
The soil in this region amazes me. I am very surprised to see anything growing in it. I'm use to black soil and was unaware of the potential of sandy soil. Great video!!!
Down here in Heathsville Va, looking all over in these sandy fields for my first point! Came back a year later to watch this one again for pointers 👍
If you are after stone tools, this GPS location is one to remember. Great pair of enthusiasts you met. I'm going over to Guy's channel to see what happens. 👍
Perfect timing chigg was just looking for some good content to watch.
I growed up in the farm fields and always had eyes open for Indian stones! Really enjoy these videos! I wish I had that kind of soil to hunt in... where I am at it's that heavy clay "top soil" and stones everywhere
I love that guys excitement!
That’s what I’m talking about! Right up my alley!👍
That young mans energy is beautiful. The excitement for the history thaa as ta been found is amazing
Best yet Chig. Amazing there were so many bits in one small area.
Spectacular! I want to go dig holes in my backyard!!! 🪨
This channel always has overwhelmingly wholesome vibes. 😁
Been watching ya both for a long time neat to see collabs.
Thank you for the video
Really enjoyed this one love the history
Such a interesting video Mr chiggs great find great history 😜👍
Enjoyed this alot! The Morrow mountain was cool...
My grandfather use to plow his fields in the spring and he would unearth arrowheads. He would save them for me!
After every heavy rain, I can walk my fence line and the chert, debatage and point pieces shine like ivory in the sun. It's nuts, but there was a large Indian settlement from the late 1700s just across our back field so it's not too surprising...
Fantastic video
Awesome day chigger and fines 👍
Enjoyed it chig
Awesome, AWESOME, video!!!
Love that guys enthusiasm for other peoples finds 😁
Thats so crazy those artifacts are just laying to be found. Out in the middle of a field. Awesome!!
The type of rock can also tell you if it is an artifact. I found a granite charmstone. I live in the valley and so the nearest source of granite in the foothills a hour's drive away. The valley tribes traded with the mountain and coastal tribes.
I'm a long time subscriber to both aquachigger and guys adventures and as always enjoyed watching 👍
I really enjoy your videos. I've been watching a long time. So I bought a T-Shirts to help a little to support you. Thanks again!
Great bit of adventure. Looks like you guys had a good time.
That looks like a BLAST!!
I love searching freshly disked fields after a very rainy day.
That's the best. Farmers seldom plow anymore though.
I have only recently taken up metal detecting again. I did some back in the late 60's and early 70's. I have however hunted ancient artifacts for many years in Oklahoma. In the area I live it was not legal to dig so all of my finds were from fields that had been plowed after a hard rain, along rivers or on canyon rims. I live in Oklahoma no far from the Domebo site that dated back 11,200 years ago. The site is one of the first Mammoth kill sites where Clovis points were found among the remains. There were two intact and one broken Clovis point. There was another Clovis point and two Hyde scrapers that had been dulled by use found in a stream bed near the site. I found a Clovis point in a canyon rim but most of my large collection came from old camp sites. You can look for old homestead sites on hills near water. They are usually built on old Indian camps. I have many very small Washita Culture point that I found along rivers. After a farmer plows his field and it comes a hard rain these points are visible on the surface where a camp was. You can identify the camp sites by the large amounts of muscle shells broken in the fields. This was a stable of their diet. You can also identify a camp site by the large amounts of flakes and broken points in an area. The Washita Culture lived around 1100 years ago and made beautiful very detailed points. They are mistakenly called bird point because of their size but are in fact arrow heads that were used to bring down all game. I have Paleo points, Hyde scrapers, and stone knives as well as drills, game ball made from stone, beads, and sewing needles made from bone. I have a very large collection but I am no longer able to physically handle the strenuous walking involved. I found grave sites near camps after hard rains but I always showed respect and covered the remains up. There are those who would rob grave sites and that goes against everything I believe. That is why I would never dig even though some did. You never know where you are digging. I only picked up surface finds and I have a very large collection of perfect arrowheads, atel-atel points and spear heads, Hyde scrapers, flint knives, Celts, stone hammers, and everything imaginable used in a camp. I have garbage bags of broken points and flint chips and flakes not to mention a piece of obsedian the size of a man's head I found in a canyon. This is a very rewarding hobby and a way to learn about the past. Good luck and happy hunting.
I'm teaching myself how to flintknap, with help from books and videos on CZcams, my husband and I hunt for arrowheads and other Indian Artifacts,,our property was an Indian reservation. Before 1887. Cool how lucky am I. Thanks for all your cool info 😎
@@joannem3568 My father and uncle also hunted for ancient artifacts and my father could flint Knap very well. He would take an arrowhead he made out when we would go hunting and put it in the row in front of my uncle as a joke to see if he could fool him. Although my father was very skilled at making small Washita points my uncle who was in his 70's had hunted artifacts his entire life and was never fooled. My uncle had a collection that was very valuable and would loan points to museums. When my uncle and aunt built their new house he filled all of the flower beds with broken points. He had many 55 gallon bags of broken points he had collected over the years. We knew a farmer who had a field next to a large river. One summer he turned the earth over a foot deep with a plow. There was a mound about 200 ft. across where a Washita camp was. They would move the camp periodically for sanitary purposes and then move back. When the farmer turned the earth over it was unreal. You could see where they had fire pits. The black outline was still visible on the ground. There were areas that flint chips were so thick you knew they set right there 1100 years ago and made points. You couldn't walk across that mound without walking on bone fragments, flint chips, or pieces of muscle shell. We would walk across the entire field and take two rows each. Between my father, my uncle and myself we found around 500 points on that field not counting celts and broken points. After a real hard rain my father and I went over to hunt and walked in from the South side of the mound. We discovered the rain had washed a small ditch across the field and exposed the remains of two bodies who had been buried on their backs in the fetal position. We covered the graves back up so no one could see the grave sites. Often they buried very good points or beads with bodies and some people rob these graves. The large field where the burials were was white and shiney all summer long with broken muscle shells. It is amazing how those shells survived all those years and look like they just came out of the river. The farmer never turned the earth over that deep again and the field became like all the others along the rivers I used to hunt. My father and uncle could both identify all of the points they found and date them but I know most but I am not as knowledgeable as they were. I do have many books to identify if I have a question. Hunting in an Indian Reservation sounds like it would be fun. Did you find a lot of artifacts? You can also look around lake shores when the water level drops and in creek beds. Good Luck and I am sure you will do well. Take care and stay safe.
Only stone artifacts so far and pieces of chert,, no arrowheads yet , only moved here 3 years ago, so , plus been hunting fields we have permission on. 😉
Thanks
@@joannem3568 When I first started my uncle could spot a very small tip of a point sticking out of the ground that I had walked over. We would use broken fishing rods to flip the points or chips out of the ground so there wasn't so much bending. If you have permission in a field that is on high ground near a river go hunting after he discs the ground and it rains real hard and you will find points. 👍
I like that guys enthusiasm. 😂
Finding my first arrowhead at 8 years old got me into rocks minerals and eventually prospecting love the hobby enjoyed the video (they probably never heard of you had they? Thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏻👊🏻p.s. I’m glad you followed him down to
That’s crazy mad full of stuff!!!!
Now to train Chiggs ear to the "Click" of the arrow point! What a day digging in the dirt! Mike in sunny Florida
Need a sifter!
Was waiting for someone to find some pottery shards. What a great field to hunt
I wondered what's kept the "Dead Heads" busy since the band dissolved. 😁
What great group.
Great video, Chig! I find points, flakes and chunks of chert/flint in a farm field I detect in Central Illinois. I learned from you in this video how to scrape the dirt. But unfortunately, the field I’m in has so many rocks in it and the points I find are surface finds. I may try the scraping technique in an area of the field that’s not so rocky. Great finds and I hope you do more videos searching for points!
Now that was fun! Glad to see one of my Louisiana folks hooking up with the Chigg. He has a great personality.
Great video I really enjoy it. Looking forward to your visit to Louisiana this summer for some grubbing. Keep in touch!!
Loved it , great finds. Guy taught me something new also.
