- Some time ago Mike found half of a very valuable Civil War belt buckle, but in his subsequent searches, he could not find the missing half. On this day, Mike invites me to help him search for the missing piece, and right off the bat Mike gets a great signal and thinks his search may be over.
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.

Thanks Beau for helping me try to find it. I think it's there somewhere. See ya on the next one buddy.
Just wanted to say thank you. My husband 2020 going into 2021 was quite ill. He required months of inhouse rehab therapy. He had often been ill with one thing or another but this was the first time I couldn't bring him home after his hospital stays. The house was to quiet and for once I had the remote. I started playing all of your videos from start to finish. I enjoyed them when I payed attention and they were a pleasant noise when I was distracted. I made it thru almost all of them and he finally came home for about 8 months. I got behind. He got pneumonia again and went into the hospital. I started again. He passed on Feb 8th and I have watched, listened, slept thru all of them. Thanks foe being there even though you didn't know it. Lol
I love the education that you provide with your videos which I always find entertaining, but most important, very educational.
You explain in detail, not only your finds, but the location and topography of the areas that you hunt.
Your explanation of old home foundations and road traces are the things that most detectorists don't talk about on their videos.
Thanks for taking us along!
Was hoping you guys would find the other half.
Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE
This was a fun hunt. We search for Mikes's missing half of a buckle and I try to make sense of the homesite we are searching.

Thanks for watching…. The Chigg
I found the same CS tongue without the female part. I have looked pretty hard for the other half but no luck yet. I am going to keep trying. Even without the female part, I consider it to be my best find and I have quite a few buckles and nice things.
Thank you for your cheerfulness, it does one the world of good
I'll have to get out there and help him continue the search!
I see those lightning rod insulators dated to the 1850's-60's they're pretty good finds
Thanks for taking us along on another great adventure 👍
I love those blue coloured lightning rod insulators!
Congrats to Mike for that nice find! I hope he finds the other half 🍀
Pretty coloured bottle too! 😍
It was nice seeing some items from your collection inserted into the video. 🙂

Hello Randle. 😎
It's Fun Being The Old Man The Kid's Dont Get To Pisse For Picking At Thim. It's All In Part Of Haveing Fun Like Today. And I think You Like It To LOL.
Great find Chigg be safe and GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏
Great video and finds. Even though you didn't find what you were looking for it was still a fantastic hunt.
always looking forward to your adventures!!!!
Thanks
Good vid. Thanks
Great video with more history. That glass you dug was an insulator. Had the same notch like the one on the rod. Glad you and Mike are hanging together.
Beau, I thought you were going to snatch that shovel out of his hand! 🤣🤣🤣
Great video Chigg, keep them coming. Always enjoy your program. 👍
Nice hunt, I liked that strap hinge the best. I just love sweet handmade items like that.👊👍
Such fun times always
Thank you Mr. B. !!! That other part could have iron on top of it. Or mabe not! Lol. I still have the black smith on my mind. The hay fork are ausome. You can't even buy one it seems. Great video.
Hey Chigg if your ever around the Pittsburgh area let me know, I live mi Utes away from Meadow Croft Rock Shelter in Avella Pa. I have several areas to detect n search with old wells, mines, ect.... All from 1800s. Meadow Croft is definitely worth a visit to anyone who likes Native American and Pioneer life. Happy Trails my friend!
Love it
Great video enjoyed watching some lovely finds enjoyed watching
It's motivation to keep looking for it. Good luck and God bless.
Great video! Thanks!
Awesome day out there chigger Great adventure I enjoyed it as usual you're the best👍
Thanks again sir 👍
I can't be bothered watching someone who won't listen to sense. They don't deserve to find something good. I love watching you Chig.
Really enjoyed this!
Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
Thanls Chigg!
Hope you enjoy it.
My son Mike, I call him Todd his middle name. I love watching your guys videos.
Always educational.
Informative video. Love learning with yin’s.
That little piece with the little legs may have been for an old iron. My Granny had one and I mean the old sit it by the fire solid iron shirt iron. Haha no plug in.
Mr. Chigg... Great video, as always. Not sure but I think that "trivet" item that you found might be used to rest a "flat iron" on when ironing clothes. Especially if it was too hot.
Awesome
Nice hunt guys I really enjoyed the video, catch you on the next one. 🇺🇸
that bike crank is worth more than anything u found ,keep it MIKE WOLF my want it for sure .
That place definitely seems to have some potential for sure. Happy hunting and be well
The spiral rod that supported the green glass insulator would make a cool repurposed towel rack in the shop. ✌
Love the bottle. Sorry you didn't find the other half of his buckle.
I was having a heart attack right there with you when he was digging 🤣
He was scaring me Chigg digging that close
Maybe Mike could go on the net or go to a trade show and find somebody with a reef. They could work out some kind of deal. Please let us know when he finds it. Pretty cool site.
The low and lousy signals always finds the best finds! You have my permission to record every find!
You teach and expand minds like mine with metal detecting. We just Love your expressions.
The round brass item goes around the glass insulator for attachment to building .
Luck !!! 👍👍👍😁
I found the U half US box plate and about a year later found the S part about 40 yards from the first part, probably about as far as they could have thrown it! Cool video Thanks for sharing.
I remember watching a program and they were putting in a parking lot on Monday and a archologist lady got permission to do one last check over the weekend, because there was reason to believe it was an important archeological spot. They came back and found her digging out a skeleton with a massive hole in the skull, when they asked her what weapon would have caused that, she said , oh , I did that with the pick!. So much for a college education in archeology, you could go to 3rd grade and know you were not supposed to destroy the find as you take it out.
He just refused to move back a few inches no matter how much you coached him. I'm surprised the half he found isn't whacked.
The oval goes with the glass insulator. It is what held the glass flat to the house, and then the lighting rod is wired to it with the wire.
Benjamin Franklin his invention 🌩 lightning Protection Beau !!!; ) fun Fact!!
The small trivet you found, I have seen similar pieces on older Ben Franklin stoves as a decoration and may have been nickel plated at one time.
good site found some things not what you went for but still interesting thanks sandman in fla
Good stuff Chigg ya should’ve held up that insulator base and got Mike all worked up .
Almost time to get back on the River Chigg.
Nice Job Buddy!! REGARDS JJ
The area you think was a root celler reminds me of the root celler that the property that I grew up on. Ours was about the same size has shelves along tw p walls were we stored canned goods and then we stored our potatoes on the at the back. There was a storage shed built over the top of the celle. We stored our crocks of pickles in the shep along with the overflow of our potatoes and surplusof canned goods.
That bottle’s purple, how unusual, love it!
I was just reading the other day that some old clear glass would turn purple with age because of manganese in the glass, or something like that. So maybe that one started out as clear glass and later turned purple, or maybe not.
I guess they stopped using manganese in bottles around 1915, then switched to selenium as a clarifying agent? Those purple bottles are cool!
Reporting in!
Chigg makes me want to go out and dig up my yard.
that ring object with opposing holes could be the outer face of a gauge..but idk. ❤the hunt!
At 19:55. That is a glass insulator from a house. From the pole to the house , alot of people ( usually people who collect glass insulators) also collect those as well,, they are less likely to be found and saved.
"Be careful Mike, you don't want to hit it" meanwhile Beau digs like he's killing a zombie with a toothbrush. Haha.... j/k Chigg
That belt buckle your buddy found was a Confederate Sword belt buckle good job
Great video and channel, down to earth. Do you have any channel decals?
Man, the sound of that Garrett makes my skin crawl!
We had that twisted metal lighting rods on the house when I was born. House was early 1900s . Lighting rod ran down side of the house to ground. I always thought the added metal was counter productive. The lighting rod itself had a large thin glass globe on it so if lighting did strike the house the glass would turn black or even shatter confirming a strike.
The one oval peace you found looks like a base for a clothes iron
That is my guess as well. A trivet for a sad iron.
When are you going to do another cave?
The door hinge is identical to most at Colonial Williamsburg.
Lightning rods really work. Most people don't need them. I have a friend that lives on a hill in NH.
Until he had a system installed, he got blasted by lightning pretty regularly.
Luckily no extreme damage. worst a basement window blown out.
Nothing he knows of for the last thirty years. Ben Franklin was a genius, you know.
The little trivet thing you found at 18:30 looks like a holder for a bar of soap.
I have found two wreaths, but no tongues.
I would not want to leave after I find something like that
Just a quick note Chig. The Roman's were using concrete 5,000 years ago.
The trivet you found looks like a trivet for an iron … for ironing clothes. I’ve seen a few.
Some lightning rods were made of platinum I've heard,I found a roundish glob ,at an old home cite in the old part of town ,it rang up high on a metal detector on gold settings
Really, at 5:10 I'd have slapped him upside the head... seriously DON'T DO THAT. LMAO
Yes
👍 O well, it's still cool 👍
21:09 is hinge pin for a barn door or gate. Your piece is static and the door has a pin that goes into it.
❤️
Looks like a hot iron trivet for cloths .
You should use small throwels like the archeologs are using?
@ 18:22 is that not a sad iron trivet?
I can just smell that good earth.
Dang shame y’all didn’t find the other part of the buckle.
He will find it sooner or later😁😉
That would be something to find the other half
That’s why I dig by tones. Numbers are secondary.
Do you remember we met 3 years ago at a UK Rally . I was the English guy living in Austria right ontop of a Roman settlement. You gave me your mail address and asked me to contact you with regard to coming over . I wrote with an invite but never heard back . Did you get the mail ?
Sorry about the buckle still hiding from Mike. Next time rub the wobbly kitten for good luck. Something else, Chigg has my respect for his concern of disturbing a microcosm living in a bottle. It’s like being thankful for what Mother Earth provides.
👊🤩👊
Awesome job.
Im babysitting right now can someone remind me to watch this in 2 hours please.
Sure.np
Watch this in 2 hours.
@@lucasdog1 I meant when two hours passed but thanks I'm not gonna forget now😄
It's been 2 hours Chigg is on😃😆😂🤣
Don't never find anything if you don't get out and look.
2:02 BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH, ''I'M GONNA LET MIKE GET STARTED''....... GEE, YOU'RE SO CONSIDERATE!
Areas of large amount of buttons could be a clothes line area for drying clothes which would be close to the house.
I never see the links to other channels you say you'll add in the description.
Their in a pinned comment.
Hell, who needs a detector with all that awesome free stuff laid out? Ripe for the pickin
I’m getting a detector it will be a cheaper one to start with but maybe I’ll go up in quality
