- Another adventure searching the grounds of Magnolia Lane Plantation. In this video Albert, Travis and I dig out some pits looking for evidence of old buildings that are not part of the official record of the home. We also continue to metal detect the yard area focusing on the side yards this time. We do discover some potentially interesting areas that may be of interest to future investigators when trying to piece together the history of this plantation. I find Brad's old sandbox and recover some long lost memories for him.

The dog paw print in the brick was awesome.
I thought the same thing
I would love to have that brick. So cute.
"I don't care what I find, I just like finding stuff."
I think, and hope, that's the attitude of many of your fans. Its certainly mine. Thank you for again showing the fun of the adventure, telling the stories and sharing the moments.
Me too
When I'm having a bad day I can always count on The Chigg to make me feel better.
Hes good at changing the mood that's for sure
Me too😁
You find more in one day than they have found on Oak Island in Ten years lol
Oak Island. That is such a BS program . Just milking the viewership for more money (ads). I hate those types of click bait programs. If they ever found anything, it would be world news.
@@CRuf-qw4yv their finds re-wrote north american history and thats better than any ''treasure'' moron haha
I remember back in the late 1960's and early 1970's always playing with my Hotwheels in the dirt. I'd make little roads and, if I had to move dirt to build a road through, I'd use firecrackers for it. My favorite place was a large hole where a stump was removed. During the hottest parts of the summer, that stump hole was filled with water and would sit in the mud within it. There are times when I miss the way life was 45 years ago... hooking up the horse to the carriage and trotting down the road, climbing trees, playing in the mud... There was a time I buried many coins in two locations when playing "pirate" but I never went back to dig them up. It would be fun to explore where I once lived though the house, built in 1901, is no longer there. Imagine the treasure that can be found there!
Horse and carriage in 1975. You are amish or full of shit
Bryan Reinhart cool story , yea I did the same back in sixties and seventies. It was a different time , a lot less people and good times .
Same here...we were never in the house during the day. Mom had to threaten our lives to get back home at night. lol. Even in the winter we would be out running around and building snowforts and stuff.
Doug C. Yep , great times ✌️
@@dougc.3497 Indeed! Was always told to be back in the yard when in starts getting dark. Back then, it was, "aw mom, do I have to go in?!" Now, it's kids that are saying, "aw mom, do I have to go outside?!" Oh, and the snow forts! Great times! We'd go to Monk's Mounds and sled down one of the mounds there. Or, diving off the CB tower into an 8 to 10 foot snow drift on the side of the house. Definitely a different time, a time well missed!
Well it wasn't that ever-elusive gold coin, but you were giggling and having fun finding those cars. And that's the best part about detecting, you never know what you're going to find, but as long as you're having fun doing it.
Yep, The Chigg always makes me smile.
There's something to be said for southern entertainment and hospitality. I've really enjoyed these videos. Thanks!
I love that part of the country! Great people there.
In the 60s we called those marbles Cats Eye Marbles.
This has been so great to see this plantation and the artifacts you are finding, even if some are just more modern kids toys. I have been following along on your adventures while reading my hubbies 3rd grt. grandpa's Civil War letters. He was a surgeon with the 11th Indiana Vol. Inf. Reg. at Carrollton/ New Orleans in May of 1864. He didn't think much of General Banks, but had much respect for Grant. Having never been to New Orleans myself, it has been splendid to see the same country he would have been in and experienced as a soldier. I hope you do find more Civil War related items, but just seeing this place has been so interesting and enjoyable. It is so steeped in history. Thanks a bunch! Have a great day!
Mail them to marty with Marty's Matchbox makeover in Australia :)
The bell looks like the remains of a front door bell. Twist the little handle outside on the front porch and the bell rings inside.
You have visitors!!
I came down to the comments to say the same thing. I have one of those on my front door (though it isn't as ornate). Most people don't know what the little key in the middle of the door is so if I hear a ring instead of a knock I know that it is probably someone I know.
I cannot believe CZcams have only just recommend you're channel to me. It's brilliant. I love your energy as well. So happy. Thank u for sharing all the find u make with us
Brad smashed all those cars with lost marbles shot from his slingshot.
Same here Chigg. I dont mind what I’m digging, as long as it’s something interesting!
I love the old cars and marbles. Lots of fun!
I still can’t figure out how Halle Beery was able to swim there..ewww...
“Its a Spoooooon!!(: 😁” *** sees its a fork. “Oh its a fork 😒” well i guess whats your favorite utensil
I can't stop going back to that.... lol
😂😂 his mood did a full 180.
@@CopperHeadsMetalDetecting In fact was a 180. LOL "Oh its a fork".......
If they are Matchbox you could send them to the MartysMatchboxMakeovers channel, would be a nice colaboration
Absolutely love the way you ended this video with the full song and discoveries!
OMG! I have that Orange Van/Bus in my Hotwheels Case! Oh, I have found/dug several White/Orange/Brown marbles in my Driveway! So cool!
I loved all the matchbox cars and marble. That was the best find so far. The home and axe was pretty awesome, too.
Proof you always don't have to find relics and old coins to have fun. Enjoyed this one even more!!!
I half expected Marty's Matchbox Makeovers to be here somewhere.
Some cool toy cars and marbles chigg! Loved the buttons and relics ya saved for the owners. Playing in the muddy waters in Mississippi was fun!
Good day Chigg! I really have enjoyed your NOLA adventures. I go over there to Oschner's. It is pretty fascinating over there. I live in Pensacola, Fl. But when I go over for doctor appointments I try to go see things. Thanks for sharing. It was pretty cool all the cars. Made me want to go detect at my parents house. Lol
Great finds and fun thanks for sharing the journey
At least you didn't have to go to far to clean your finds. Love the bell thingie.
Yeah, it's weird to see the water table so high. I mean, short of living in a swamp, that's as close as you get. You'd think the original plantation owners would've changed the earth over time to get better land. I mean, i would've and i know it's a thing they did back in the day, at least in Europe.
that round bell looks like the top of an old bicycle bell. love all the cars and marbles lol neat
i love old axes , i found one that dated to the 1860s in an old mine
Me too.
Love the cars and marbles tells a story about the kid , fun !
That is so awesome you made their day by finding all the trucks and cars and marbles.
Really cool finds especially for a rain out.
Loved the video its nice to see you exploring in my home town Louisiana.
In my opinion one of your best videos to date. For so many reasons.
The one looks like a chisel for stone work and a cane tip, nice finds chigg!
That's what I was thinking a chisel
ingl wud, A cane tip. Now the large ridge on the end of it makes sense.
Super finds
Some of those cars are collector items and are quite valuable.
I'm really enjoying this series of videos.
11:02 I have a match to that bell still on the front door of my old house, its a mechanical door bell.
Awesome! I was going to guess it might be a big old (half) brass doorknob. That was going to be my S.W.A.G. - my scientific wild-@ss guess. 😄 Your story's better, I think! 😊
@@CatalinaThePirate That would have been a good guess, I wouldn't have had a clue except I see it every time I go out.lol
Those cars are worth some money,even though they have been buried for 40 years...old marbles are also collectible.
So cool. I have lots of friends and family in this area. Makes these videos extra interesting. Thank you
A lot of cool history down there
3:36 looks like a cane top. 11:06, Desk Bell, ding ding.Neat finds, I had marbles and Corgi cars like that as a kid.
Cars and marbles very cool and still love that song
That place is flat out creepy!! I really hate water though. Nice finds and great vid Chigg, thank you:)
I’d love to have those marbles! They’re so cool!
That song never gets old .
Willy Dig what is it called

All those convenient relic washing pools!
Great location!
Ya just can't get away from the troolllll trains!! Lol
We have a small buried dump in our backyard, both from an old store that burned down and from relatives in the past. Back then garbage collection was limited and it was before environmental stuff was put into place. Also handing down toys or donating them wasn't as common. It was common to bury your garbage. We dug the hill up a little after removing tree's to re-level it, I was amazed by how many toys and stuff were in it. In fact they use to be toys from some relatives when they were kids. I found about 300 bottles/ jars in that hill in GOOD shape, while not very old they were still collectables. Some even had labels still on them because they were being protected by the old fabric trash bags.
I've found a few 1920's and '30's cars in one of my favorite dumps!
Oh yeah, I had the Micromachines Chop Shop Playset when I was a kid, too. xD
I know civil war treasures are what you crave - but any thing found in the dirt is a treat :-) . Thanks much for sharing the other treasures, was a fun video.
Awesome finds.
Hey man thank you for the video I enjoyed it I wish I could find some old cars out there maybe I will come across some down the road and some old marbles to
The elusive late night Chigg vid!
Me Too...I like finding stuff 😁😎😁
I was browsing Netflix and came across a movie called "Homefront". Much to my surprise I noticed a large amount of the movie was filmed at Magnolia Lane Plantation, they even included the bottle tree in the film.
Love it! CARS!!!
I like that 3AD OD Field Jacket.
Worth it for the look on his face when he spotted his toys
KEN.UK
The large lead weight is a sounding weight they had a rope tied to it and threw it ahead of the boat to find the depth, Mark twain
Which is where the term 'swinging the lead' comes from for anyone that is doing an easy job or is trying to look busy.
That was fun
Dude cool history and awesome finds keep up the good work and also all the toys u find could I have them I turn the old cars into pieces of art by restoring them with new parts or the original parts if I have them and some times I make mad max cars out of them
Giant bottle opener 😂🤣😂👍
It's a spooown! It'ts a fork. I found lots of 70's/80's toy cars from my childhood. Some were bad shape, some were ok enough for the nephews to play with.
When I was a kid (back in the Stone Age) I had a small collection of Matchbox cars. I got them at a little mom-n-pop hobby store that sold model cars, radio parts, and railroad sets - and 45rpm single records, AND candy =8^O I recall the Matchbox cars sold for about 50 cents, and they had a lot of models. That was fun, although I was never real fond of the new Hot Wheels cars. 😏 I had a lot of old marbles, too, mostly cat-eyes like the ones 'Chigg found. Used to have fun playing marbles with the boys who lived behind us. Gawd that was a long time ago! Guess you could call me "vintage" 😆
I stole 100s of HW, MB Kenner, and found marbles in a creek once a flood came and a light blue vw bug floated down the creek and a brown ford maverick ended up in the baseball park parking lot mostly I stole in winter and had a big parka to hide them in some were capped wheels most were straight axle no sweet16s
Dude XD . Cars and marbles like that are what I used to play with when I was a kid in the 80's
Kids now might not know what a marble is
WOW....forkage and a shaggin wagon.
Your videos are the best
And I really enjoy you filming these videos are at Mongolian Lane I hope we get to see a lot more
👍 Wow chigger Bread is gonna enjoy playing with his toys again amazing after all this time you found his toys hes gonna be happy guarantee
Those are the only cars I could afford to restore :(
I couldn't even afford that rn.....
I feel your pain lol
Check out Diecast Resurection channel on YT. He's got a wry sense of humor and brings restoration down to a budget most of us can relate to.
Now you can start a new hobby , restoring Matchbox cars .
Mike Espo , cool video .
That what you thought was a phone bell could also have been a door bell. When I was a kid my parents would take me to old people's houses, the houses were probably from just after the civil war, and the front door would have a decorated door bell mounted in the wooden door. It operated by a twist knob on outside of the door.
I love the toys.
As wet as the property has been I'm surprised I didn't hear you say "hold your breath!"
Chigg's Army!!!! 😁
Those are nice cars I wonder how old they are and the outro song is very nice
A Matchcar HOARD! 😁I think the lead thing is a window weight...
I can hear the “troll “ barges in the background. Lol.
Show show, congratulation
I love all your videos, but, pulling out those Hot Wheels and marbles had me so excited.
Those cars are mainly from the early 70’s. The car you pulled out at 21:34 is a hot wheels 68 charger from 1968. That one is worth some money if it wasn’t ruined
Dang aqua I didn’t know you were down here!! I’m up here right across the river from the duck dynasty people
great finds . some kids stash form the 1960s.
did you have any old pictures of the property ? may help hone in on places like clothes lines and such . Funny how we find marbles detecting metal i have a jar full lol! that bell may have been used to summon servants to the house ?
Look.s like a cool place to check out..bet those moskitoe.s are bad in the summer..lol
Beau, the item you thought may be the dinger on the old phones may well have been a damper they had on the front of the taller, circular fancy smancy wood stoves.
in 10 years I'm going to be thinking "'Halle Berry's wheat penny' where the hell did I hear that?"
You-tuber Time Riders wee little cars would love those cars! they would look like new or better by the time he would finish!
Been holding my breath a long time on this one. For Christmas let’s buy Mr. Chigg a sump pump.
Lead disc looked like a power pole inspectors tag...
Two videos one day! Woooooooooodogie.
Btw the is a guy that restores model cars on CZcams. You have him restore some!
The bell was either an Eastlake era counter bell or an Eastlake era twist type doorbell.
The bell is probably from a old bike bell, found one some years ago by myself.

All i could think of was bas septic lol
