  • Please join me on this little adventire out on the river exploring and searching for historical relics. I didn't know what I might find but was very happy with how the hunt turned out. Civil War relics are found!
    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.

    I've always loved archaeology, which is why I enjoy this channel. Mr. Chigg's enthusiasm is always contagious as well. It won't be much longer, and I'll go ahead and buy a metal detector, probably just like the one Chigg uses. Cheers!

      He really does have a way of making you want to learn more about the colonial era and recover some of those lost relics. Every piece is like filling in more of the story of those lives and events.

    Chig, you're really incredible. I mean, looking at just how rugged that landscape is, and noting how small those bullets are, it's so impressive that you're able to find them - like finding needles in a haystack made of water and sharp rocks. If it's there, he's gonna find it! LOL

      absolutely! the drops were fine on their own but the two pistol bullets stuck together were one of "those" finds. that just shows you how much practice they had with their firearms.
