I think that little "doo-dad" you found is an old rug beater. Ladies used to drape their throw rugs over the banister of the porch and swat the dust out of the rugs with a beater. Cool find, whatever it is. :) That other thing you found and left behind, looks an awful lot like an old walking stick or cane. Looks like it broke in two so it got dumped.
Chigg you are a magnet for those late afternoon storms for sure! Nice shell find, good research and looking forward to your return to this location! HH and thanks for sharing!
You're killin me! I would've kept that 'decorative piece' and the little screw too bottle. I know you can't haul everything out but some of the stuff you leave behind I absolute love. Oh well, treasure for someone else to find. 😊
Love the bottle and of course I'm glad you were able to bring home a shell. , Most of what you showed us I could identify before you said what they were and that's thanks to you. It's impossible not to learn something when watching your videos.
Thanks for all the great videos, I have always enjoyed poking around for antiques that are free but your videos have motivated me to check in a river that runs into our city. Keep the vids coming and dismiss the haters!
we've been on a trip from denver to South dakota rosebud last two weeks and i 've never seen such big thunder storms ever with rain and hail and rainbows and blue pieces of sky in the same time it was just perfect!! and the country .. just beautifull , you really are blessed with your hobby out there in nature, greetings from the Netherlands
I finally found my first civil war artillery shell yesterday. I have been detecting for 3 years now, but my shell was a surface find. I love your videos and you are the reason that I started hunting.
if you've ever walked along a river or creek, the overhanging branches are almost always home to spiders and their stringy webs. You'll have spiders in your hair everywhere else and not even realize it. Beau the vids are great and we all love them! keep the adventuring alive!
the large key looking thing is a ornament grate shaker for a large wood burning stove had one when I was growing up for our antique wood stove you slide it in a hole in front of stove and turn it left and right it moves the burning grate up or down wich let's the ashes fall down in the bottom pan of your stove ! cool find !
On this day in the monocacy River I found 26 modern cents two fishing lures and several bottle caps (corona and modelo) plus a few 70s era pull tabs. Not much else. You win this time sir
@12:11 as he says "hang in there with me" while pointing at his little buddy dangling from his chin, I dam near died from laughing so hard. It was just too perfect!
RE: The hatchet head you found at the beginning- its what we call a "roofing hatchet"Typically, the older ones have a hexagonal or octagonal sides of the head. In my area the old Mason Jar tops are selling for $1 - $5 each, depending on how "snooty" the antique store is.
At the 2 minute mark, you picked up a white ceramic item - it's the top off a "flippy" style bottle, minus the rubber stopper and bail. I still use them for home-brewing. :-)
Hey Beau, I thought you were going to do a giveaway on the Garrett Ace 400, what ever happened about that? Good hunt but short because of the storm. I can't wait for "MOAR".
Get yourself a poncho and use it! Because there's one thing in common with a lot of your fantastically interesting video's is that rain is always in the neighborhood, here in my part of the world its the mere act of thinking of having a BBQ and then it starts to rain.
That glass/ceramic thing that you found after the lead filled thing in the beginning looks like a flip top beer bottle cap. The wire bail probably rusted away and the rubber gasket is gone.
At 2:00 The thing you counted as "has something to do with electricity" are the remains of a clip-lock off of a bottle. The clip and the gasket have rotted away and the porcelain stopper remains.
I'm pretty sure that the decorative cast-iron piece is from a cemetery to Mark the grave of a member of the order of the Odd Fellows I recall seeing very similar cast iron pieces stuck into the ground by the Headstones of Odd Fellow members when I was touring historic cemeteries out on Long Island New York
he man just saw some of your video very interesting , where are you located at that ya find civil war pieces, im over in pa 5 mins away from brandywine river and am trying to start some trips down there to find that river gold
I'd love to come digging with you sometime, haha. I think I'm relatively local (10 miles from Antietam BF). I struggle finding civil war sites to dig. Yet to find any civil war items, but I did find a 1773 half penny!
My mother-in-law collects the lids for the old mason jars. Most of the time the glass liner is broken. Not really valuable I don't think but she uses them to keep with her jar collection
good hunt, I know that you know u had a piece of something clinging to your beard (on the left side). Good thy thing it's raining on you if came off! Lol! silly
High-level clouds, called cirrus clouds, can reach heights of 20,000 feet (6,000 meters) and are typically thin. They do not produce rain and often indicate fair weather. They are usually made up of ice. Midlevel clouds form between 6,500 feet (2,000 meters) and cirrus level.
@12.09 "hang in there with me" points at little dangler in his beard.
i wanted to say that lmao its at 4:54
these videos do great to wind down and watch after a long day at work. thanks for bringing consistent entertainment that also is quite educational.

Awesome video Beau!Thats crazy that you found a phone in a river like that!Also that was an awesome artillery shell!👍
lol I only seen the beard spider once, nice finds what a fun day that is thanks!
Chigg you are a magnet for those late afternoon storms for sure! Nice shell find, good research and looking forward to your return to this location! HH and thanks for sharing!
Another fantastic video. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us all.
it never gets old you do a great job thak you
You're killin me! I would've kept that 'decorative piece' and the little screw too bottle. I know you can't haul everything out but some of the stuff you leave behind I absolute love. Oh well, treasure for someone else to find. 😊
Screw top***
Enjoy all your videos. Keep doing, what your doing.
Another great river hunt. Thanks for sharing. GL&HH
Love the bottle and of course I'm glad you were able to bring home a shell. ,
Most of what you showed us I could identify before you said what they were and that's thanks to you. It's impossible not to learn something when watching your videos.
I'm glad I found your channel. I love nature and just checking out the cool pieces of history you find.
Thanks for all the great videos, I have always enjoyed poking around for antiques that are free but your videos have motivated me to check in a river that runs into our city. Keep the vids coming and dismiss the haters!
This is one of my favorite UA-cam channel
4:31 that's a stove poker👍love your videos ☀️
Chigg.....It consistently amazes me on how good your eyes are! When you say, "can you see it"? I say, No, Chiggs, no, I can't see it... HA
Tremendous finds there Beau.
we've been on a trip from denver to South dakota rosebud last two weeks and i 've never seen such big thunder storms ever with rain and hail and rainbows and blue pieces of sky in the same time it was just perfect!! and the country .. just beautifull , you really are blessed with your hobby out there in nature, greetings from the Netherlands
I am so happy to see you metal detecting!
I finally found my first civil war artillery shell yesterday. I have been detecting for 3 years now, but my shell was a surface find. I love your videos and you are the reason that I started hunting.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos
Congrats on finding a shell among all that trash. You need to go back there. I think that site has some potential. GL&HH
Very smart move Beau, I had to watch the video twice to listen to you. The first time I was chasing the beard bug like a cat chasing a laser.
if you've ever walked along a river or creek, the overhanging branches are almost always home to spiders and their stringy webs. You'll have spiders in your hair everywhere else and not even realize it. Beau the vids are great and we all love them! keep the adventuring alive!
Good vid Chigg. Congrats on over 400,000 subscribers!! Keep up the good work. GL&HH
Hey Beau, nuggetnoggin collects those ceramic Mason jar lid inserts.
great video again,,, thsnks

Two fishing lures. Pretty good!! Two or three weeks ago, my boys and I found some fools gold in a river.
Debris hanging off Chig's goatee though. LOL
Every video better than the last! Great job!
Fine video) Good luck & happy hunting
I'm on Aquachigger's video Marathon.. 😁😁😁
@12:11 as he says "hang in there with me" while pointing at his little buddy dangling from his chin, I dam near died from laughing so hard. It was just too perfect!
The beard Dingle Berry!
Your beard spider is very distracting...
Someone had been wishing a little too hard to be a spec on his beard...
yes !
a dead fly out of a spider web
You and me both
Sooooo distracting
Nice shell, and it's always fun to get wet from the sky and the river, ain't it :)
Miller high life. I used to drink that when I was a kid 🍺. Lol. Damn. Beaver piss.
Good video Beau
Nice short little hunt brother.
11:02 somethings holding on by a thread that's for sure xD "scratches chin" 12:10 oh its hanging 13:27 is he doing it on purpose?
Great hunt !
Another nice shell! :)
Chigg, at 2:02 that "thing" you found is a porcelain bottle stopper. 1875 to 1920.
That little hammer you found was a small tent mallet used in civil war camps
Sarah, that's funny. I was just thinking the same thing.
Gives new meaning when Chigg says, "Hang with me..." :D
RE: The hatchet head you found at the beginning- its what we call a "roofing hatchet"Typically, the older ones have a hexagonal or octagonal sides of the head. In my area the old Mason Jar tops are selling for $1 - $5 each, depending on how "snooty" the antique store is.
You are the new most interesting man in the world chig lol
12:11 he says hang in there with me and points at the little dangling thing on his beard
That "small hatchet" was a lathe hammer, used to cut lathe for walls for plastering chop it to length then use the hammer edge for nailing!
At the 2 minute mark, you picked up a white ceramic item - it's the top off a "flippy" style bottle, minus the rubber stopper and bail. I still use them for home-brewing. :-)
Beard Spider!!!
Cootie !
Congrats on reaching 400,000 subs!!!
Looks cold!
I think that forged hook was for pulling off pots from a fire.
Hey Beau, I thought you were going to do a giveaway on the Garrett Ace 400, what ever happened about that? Good hunt but short because of the storm. I can't wait for "MOAR".
Be thankful for the rain....it washed away the dingleberry. :)
Iove his way to speak.
hey beau nice finds man
Well Chig, you gotta be the cleanest treasure hunter in the US of A.
loving your videos man! keep up the good work!:)
nice shell
400k just around the corner, thanks for the quality entertainment :D
Get yourself a poncho and use it! Because there's one thing in common with a lot of your fantastically interesting video's is that rain is always in the neighborhood, here in my part of the world its the mere act of thinking of having a BBQ and then it starts to rain.
2:03 its a beer/wine bottle stopper. I've found some and they usually have the date on the bottom of the smaller end. +Aquachigger
Nice finds chigg
4:20
The iron spike you´ve found may be a civil war tent peg.
We´re using really simliar ones at our reenactments.
great Video as always
Thanks for the interesting & relaxing videos. At about 2:26 there was 2 or3 very neat row of stone, could you tell what it might be?
That glass/ceramic thing that you found after the lead filled thing in the beginning looks like a flip top beer bottle cap. The wire bail probably rusted away and the rubber gasket is gone.
i really enjoyed this video
spider webs almost to the end. lol
Looked through some of the comments but didn't see, what'd the shell wind up being? (Parrott, Read, Union, Confederate?)
When I was a apprentice (45) i witnessed foundry men casting pots bound for the Indian market, Manchester England.
the "electrical" thing at the beginning is a stopper from a swing stopper type bottle like Grolsch beer.
having ocd and seeing that on his beard is driving me CRAZY
At 2:00
The thing you counted as "has something to do with electricity" are the remains of a clip-lock off of a bottle. The clip and the gasket have rotted away and the porcelain stopper remains.
Hey Aquachigger can you please do a video about you digging an old bottle dump or looking for bottles in the river. I'm really into bottles right now!
***** Press on the link in my previous comment.
you should put a link to your patreon in the videos descriptions and at the end of each videos before the thanks, i had no idea you had one
I'm pretty sure that the decorative cast-iron piece is from a cemetery to Mark the grave of a member of the order of the Odd Fellows I recall seeing very similar cast iron pieces stuck into the ground by the Headstones of Odd Fellow members when I was touring historic cemeteries out on Long Island New York
Scrolling through the videos and I see The Chiggs face and he's got a big grim , I have to know what treasures he has found .
do u sell go pros you find I make a few videos but I am looking to buy a better more manageable camera. thank you
he man just saw some of your video very interesting , where are you located at that ya find civil war pieces, im over in pa 5 mins away from brandywine river and am trying to start some trips down there to find that river gold
'Chigg, I forgot to hold my breathe!!!!!
I wish I could find stuff in rivers like he does
this is just awsome I watch all you can record. I live in central Italy and would like to detect here but don't think we are allowed to.
I'd love to come digging with you sometime, haha. I think I'm relatively local (10 miles from Antietam BF). I struggle finding civil war sites to dig. Yet to find any civil war items, but I did find a 1773 half penny!
Nice video
Aqua sound a lot like Bob Ross.
Agreed
A bit like Owen Wilson too maybe.
Beau has a spider that lives in a happy place on the end of one of his whiskers.
Hey Bob Ross rocks and is very much missed,he's one of those folks that if you just listened to him and we're having a bad day he could pick you up
My mother-in-law collects the lids for the old mason jars. Most of the time the glass liner is broken. Not really valuable I don't think but she uses them to keep with her jar collection
You should tow a little rubber dingy along with you and use it like a shopping cart.
The AT Max was acting up? What was it doing wrong? I have pre-ordered one, but not yet received it.
Dang, im late, cant wait to watch!
2.03 looks like a flip top bottle lid.
your right that is for sure
Thundering in the video and Thundering at my home
That decorative thing is an Oddfellows symbol I believe.
If I had to narrow it down I would say it was a memorial symbol that would have been at a grave of a brother of the fraternity
Yeah I'm sure of it, here is an example.

good hunt, I know that you know u had a piece of something clinging to your beard (on the left side). Good thy thing it's raining on you if came off! Lol! silly
That little thing after weight y found looked like the top off a old scrumpy jack bottle and I mean a really old one
