Metal Detecting : Big Holes
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 03. 2022
- Today we search the site of an old colonial homesite with a metal detector and shovel. I explore the ground in the area by digging search pits in the hopes of finding the central area where the homesite was originally located knowing that this specific spot could be paved with coins, buttons, and other interesting artifacts.
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.

Why on earth would you think the "copper head" story would bore anyone? Very interesting, never hesitate to tell "boring" stories.
Historical stories are never boring, share all you can. It's pretty sweet that you and Lindsay (sp) shared time together while enjoying a picnic.
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
FOR SHOWING THE REAL STUFF YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH SHOOTING A VIDEO!!!
HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING CHIGG AND MRS. CHIGG
Love the "unedited" Chigg there at the end. LOL
Ha! Me too. 21:15.😁
I love watching a knowledgeable professional at work. The stories are informative and interesting. Being 80 years old and still learning a hobby I started 1 1/2 years ago, your expertise has helped me more than you know. Thank you.
Glad you got out before that storm hit. I always love your stories of civil and pre civil war history out that way😃 And your finds are so awesome. I loved the tiny button and the tiny buckle you found. The story of the penny too. I would love to go with a style like yours of the old wild west here in Arizona but I'm such a dork, I would mess all history up from my end🤣 Always a great video Chigg! Have a great rest of your week👍
You’re not a dork. We all have to learn how to do things.
Today we dig test pits at an old homesite and try to find the exact spot where the home was located. If we find this spot, it will be the center of the artifact spread and could contain everything that was in the house at the time it burned. This might include gold and silver coins, buttons, belt buckles, and silver.
Special thanks to all of my supporters over on Patreon!

Thanks for watching…. The Chigg
Oh my nenith Chigg, I love the movie Jeepers Creepers and love good sqeakers 💪😂👍
why not bring a sift along when trenching would it be easier to find all the stuff ?
@@hgghgguk I think that's a fantastic idea and I would love to see this happen but I would imagine that would be a time consuming and back breaking task. Happy Wednesday 🙂
You should get a drone and fly it above. You might see some property lines or markings from above that you wouldn't see from the ground. Might help you pin point a better spot to dig
Love the ending of the video, this is chigg “keeping it real”. Civil war stories are never boring, keep sharing! HH man!
I found one those liberty heads cut out years ago. I didn't think much of it thought it was a G.W. head cut out of modern quarter actually think I remember solder on back.. Hearing your story definitely got my attention. Good chance still have it as never throw anything away unless obvious junk.
The button with the centre ripped out reminds me of the escutcheon to a fixed blade knife where the blade meets the guard, tang and handle. Loved the out-takes at the end.
Thanx for the copperhead story..I'm in new England and I remember learning about that
Oh, how I would love to dig archeological quality test pits all day for ya! With my OCD i've dug some real gems over the years! Thanks for another great vid!!!
Love the outtakes at the end. Always a great way to start the day with a Chigg vid. Thats a really interesting piece of American History....thats why I am super keen to start detecting here in Australia.....sooooo much local history to learn about, and thats grounded, human history...the history of individuals, not just the overarching History of the era. Some long gone woman washed that plate countless times and no doubt berated whoever broke it...and someone wore that pin on their coat and may have gotten into heated political arguments while going about their biz in the nearest town....much like what happens today.
Thanks for giving all of those long gone peoples a voice of sorts and letting us vicariously peer into their lives.
Dude...for a field that has been hammered I'd say you did alright! Digging them pits is a great idea but....knowing where to dig them pits is an awesome idea! Thanks for posting Chigg! Mike in wet and warm Florida
Just found this awesome channel keep up the great work love from Canada 🍻🤘🏻❤️
Aquachigger, thank you for your videos. I really enjoy metal detecting though not great at it. I really enjoyed your vacation videos about the young man that went missing. I sure hope that you or someone else will someday find him and bring him home.
Hey Chigg, really enjoyed the copperhead story, very interesting. Keep up the great work. Best of luck 👍
Hi from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your adventures
Special effects ending :D
It's the history that makes these sites come alive Beau, great story about the Copperheads. A good day out mate. Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Nothing but love chigg keep em coming my unmet friend!!! I so look forward to your videos!#
Love that ending !
That was cool. Just a watch winder would be fine with me. Thanks for the nice video. See ya on the next one.

As always you take us along on another great adventure and thank you for sharing your knowledge👍
LOL, love the behind-the-scenes cussing 21:15 Great video as always, Chigg!
LOL look out the teacher is louse in the field and a showing now to survey a sight for contents, great share thanks for bring us along, cool the wife brought the Chigg some vittles. Be safe and take care.
Wow loved to see you have some of my video making skills . When I use to post videos they were full of fumbling and dropping my camera. Thank you for showing me that even the best guys can be human
Awesome! Loved the wrap up too! Keep well!
Never knew that about the copper heads. This would be a great site to bring a small backhoe so you could open up some larger trenches.
I live in eastern North Carolina and that storm got us too. It was nasty!
Great bit of history on the Northern democrats Chigg. I'm glad you decided to share it with us. Happy hunting and be well
Awesome hunt, I just got in my Viper coil and in for my AT Max. Good to know how you run it! Thanks for sharing as always, wishing you all the best in the field!!
Thanx Chigg.... great to see you dig a couple pits been awhile. You did quite well.
Thanx for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE see ya on the next

Wonderful explanation about copperheads!
Thanks for the adventure!
Really appreciate all your videos. Please keep up the good work.
Good Vid I like
Good Relics !

Great finds enjoyed the video
Thanks for the video mr chigg you are a great motivator and great teacher
I really like the trenching idea...cool video!
Thanks for the lesson on trenching!
Always interesting
Great Video Chiggman, keep em coming,! Not much of a weather man though, Haha !!
Hi Chigg livin out here in Oakland Maryland, lot a great log history here too, you’ve probably been here before. Always enjoy the history you tell , really interesting. Thank you , your awesome. 👌👍
It's illegal to use metal detector in my country so your channel is all I got. Keep them videos comming Chig!
I had a little bit of deja vu at the end . lol Fun dig!
Good idea! Got a couple places I’m going to go try that on ! Thanks
Chiggs great video, we will try your did hole technique as soon as the ground thaws. So sweet Lindsey brought you lunch.
You tell a great story
Chigg you’re fascinating. I’ve heard of Copperheads, but had no idea what it meant, and now I know. Thank you for being the leader of the pack. Further, pet the wobbly kitten and Fiona please.
That must have been one great lunch
Thanks Chigg
That was a cool story! Don't hold out on us chigg!
Great information on a new technique!
Cool finds. The kiddie button and the buckle were nice, but the lead bowl repair patch was news to me. In the Top 10 on the channel for strange and poisonous stuff we used to do.👍
Good video chigg I always told my children we are always learning and today you just taught me something I found very very interesting thank you very much 👍🦀🇺🇸
👍 I enjoyed your video 👍
Great dig. At the end you needed to say Take 3.
I love the stories I wouldn't care if you told 40 stories each video. And it was really cool that your wife stopped by with the picnic lunch. I can imagine you felt like a stuffed turkey and didn't want to dig anymore after that. Maybe a siesta would have been good.
Hope all is well ..the way the world is going I Wana tell people that I care about them..I'm disabled from a bad motorcycle crash and your vids entertain and get me reved up to go detect.beless you brother 🙏
When I"m trenching I bring a magnet on my little digger, helps get the nails out and make the pinpointer useable
Nice
Very cool. I tried that at an old home site, it works well. Nice cause you can find non-metallic artifacts too. But it is a lot of work.
Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
Good job on video
If you could find the copperhead coin, I would like to see a video or pic of it. I hated history in school but you make it fun and interesting.
Going to have to try this trenching trick. I have an old camp site that it's slowing down. Tons of square nails masking good deep signals.
Cool
This video reminds me of the British archeology show Time Team
You should try a Vanquish 340. It`s very inexpensive but hits coins deeper than the AT PRO. Works on beaches too. They can unmask coins near a nail too. But they don`t do well in very trashy areas with lots of iron. Great for deep coins in old gardens and such.
Chiggs 🤙👍🏽🍺
Beau Wifey Fed You Good 👍!!!; )
Hey, I came across a way to clean old copper coins that I am experimenting with and it is looking pretty good so far
That song is brutal.
Nice BO
Naisss frend 😀👍 am from Indonesia 🇮🇩😊
I have hunted in layers with the detecter. I decrease sensitivity to clean out the top layers
I talked to you once about our shared military past, and you know about the copper heads too!? I think we'd seriously get along.
🤩🤩🤩🤩
❤️
Use a screen to find the relics....heck with the metal detector!
I see big chunks of melted lead a lot. Was there another use besides ammo?
I know there was an era where you could tell if the people had money if they had any paintings with the color blue on them. I'd say that probably goes for pottery or anything requiring the pigment blue. Seems like it was earlier than civil war era but if it was Id say there is still alot to find there.
❤💯👍✌
Please never leave out what you think are boring stories!
Goes to show you what's still under the dirt hidden by iron and other obstacles.
We get to see a blooper reel 😅
Hey Chigg
No wonder your so tired! Your wife brought 3 picnic lunches! Ha ha!
And One Day That Gold Coin Is Going To Pop Out And I Want To See It .😉
