Unearthing Confederate Treasures In The Yard: Metal Detecting Adventure!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 гру 2024
- Today, we metal detect an old Civil War camping area that was frequented by both sides. Yankee and Rebel relics can be found here, one after the other. During this detection, we found some great relics and other artifacts.
About Aquachigger:
I like to make videos that promote my lifestyle of 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. I keep my UA-cam "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
I hope to see you guys out there!

I doubt that the toob will allow me to post this, but the Wire on the Tool is called a "Prick" for cleaning the Nipple. I don't understand what the problem is with that, seeing those were and still are technical terms for muzzle loaders?
Friggine awsome man, congrats. This is. what gets my blood pumping. It doesn't bother me a bit. that it's not me finding it, I get just as excited when you do. really, really nice finds. ;o)
Love your videos. Quick question: what’s your discount code and what site accepts it? Looking to purchase a new detector here and it seems I heard you mention a code and was it detector warehouse?
The pics are definitely a nice addition
Gun tool is really cool. Nice finds
Nice tool. Nice finds.
Awesome Civil War dug varieties today.
You did well at that site!
Hello Chigg, WOOOHOOO!!! Keep up the good work and vids... Be safe and take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 😇🙏👊
MOaaaaarThanks!
Most appreciated! MOAR to follow!
Excellent relics today chigg! Congrats
Wow, what a great find!!! My dad was a muzzleloader gunsmith and he built muzzleloader rifles from scratch. The only thing he didn't build on Many of them was the barrels. He would have loved your videos, especially this one!!
I really like the new format of including an after pic
Great finds Chiggmaster!
Coming from a NY resident, those are some really awesome finds, Chigg.
Thanks Beauman, Lots of Happy finds! CONGRATULATIONS on that Gun-tool
The "cleaned up" photos help to see the detail that you describe. I'm sure it's more work for you and will always appreciate it when you can.
Excellente! That gun tool followed by the ramrod overshadowed the New York button!
I keep sayin it and I'm sayin it again, this season looks like it's going to be off the charts! Outstanding! Thanks for the knowledge and entertainment! 👍
Thanks again for the cleaned up pics the relics. Get back up here! Hoping for some more downeast diggin with billy.
Yes, cap'n Billy!!
Excellent Civil War relics, especially like that wrench! 👍
Appreciation.
Thanks again Tom. That is great motivation for me.
@@aquachigger And Great Content from you motivates me to watch and contribute. Thanks, Beau.
Those are some nice finds today.
Great finds! Thanks for pics at the end.
Thank you Jim.
Awesome, mr Chigg!
Excellent finds Chigg
It's a Pattern 1855 Private's Y Tool for the Enfield rifle. Definitely British import during the war. The knob on the top is the head for an oiler, as the body of the tool is hollowed out to hold gun oil. If the oiler 'head' is flat it is a first model, if it is round it is a 2nd model.
See page 138 of 'Suppliers to the Confederacy' Vol. II
That Enfield tool is a real treat! Having the pick too.😊
Nicest, most complete one I've ever seen - wow!
Hi Chig, JMK FROM THE UK here, just watching you talking about the piece of curry comb, and you saying that people didn't believe you when you said that they existed in civil war times, well I dug in the archives and found that it was first mentioned in the writing of Thomas Tusser in 1573, some agricultural thing I think, but you're right, made my day, stay safe 👍👌
We use a screw type patch retriever on the ramrod to get patches that get hung up in the barrel.
What a day full of excellent finds. Thanks for the cleaned up "after" photos.
Nice Enfield wrench !!! Yeah that ramrod is for an 1816 Musket. Neat stuff.
Man Chigg,
That gun tool was an awesome find. I see you were even able to show the pick still intact. That was rusty gold right there. 👍
Congrats,
Doug in NC
Those are some really neat and interesting finds!
Thanks Chigg'
Good Find today. GO CHIG💥
I look forward to your video ever day.
Chig, that odd grooved minie ball may be a US machine stamped one made for the odd 54 cal 1854 Austrian Lorenz Rifle musket. The union troops often had this gun from local armories and converted them to 58 cal at the early days of the war. CS could have had them the same way. Gun sometimes called Austrian Humbug.
Multi-tool is incredible. Appreciated the view of the bullet showing the rifling.
Nice dig. Heading up to the Cobalt outskirts for the next 6 months soon, maybe we will see you up there this year. ATB
I'd like to get back up that way. Maybe this summer.
That complete Enfield gun tool is a really great find. Well done and thanks for sharing!
Valuable relic, too - wow! Never seen a nicer, more complete one, either...
Awesome finds, gun tool , ram rod , bullets .That was fun watching as always Thanks Chigg.
Chigg you are my favorite metal Detectorous because of all the cool knowledge you have about the things you find. I learn so much everytime I watch your videos so ty for that.God bless you and your family my friend.
Wow, awesome finds chigg!!!!! Love your videos!!!!!!
Very awesome gun tool!
Great work!! Thanks for sharing your finds!
I’m so happy for you. Been awhile since you’ve had that big of a smile. Now that’s Mr Chiggs metal detecting. Thank you.
Great finds Chigg the Possum was with you today. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
WELL I THINK THATS CALLED PAY DIRT VERY WELL DONE 👏. 😮😊
Small and heaavy😀
Sweet! Of course we all love it when Chig teaches us on civil war! Most awesome finds! Wow! Rk.
Congratulations
2:01 Troll Train!
You were a little unhinged when you first started but your detector had your back. Some really awesome finds Chigg.
3:06 I REALLY like the post production format of screenshottin your finds, cleaned 🤩🤩🤩
Chigg’s excellent civil war relics recovered. Great wrap up.👍👏
What's interesting is so many people dig up fired bullets that hit an object. (Most likely trees) While the area is devoid of trees. So sad that we are cutting down trees with reckless abandon.
I have found a lot of those hand forged iron pieces with the one threaded end at a circa 1820-1890 site in ontario canada. I hope they have a more interesting use than a farm implement
Wow, that's a day to remember, even for Chig!
Have you seen the new lung tank snorkel gear ? Maybe good for your river searches
Just checked it out. Looks pretty bulky and uncomfortable. Thanks for letting me know it's out there.
Awesome
That is one heck of a find, the musket tool - nice, Chigg!
Well! That l'il video was chuck full of nice relics! Great Chigg Digg, Chigg! 👍
11:25 three cheers for the troll train shout outs
Opposum
The first dig hinged on if it was gonna be a good day or not 🤔
Let’s go 🗣
Where shall we go?😮
What a day!
How are the kittens??? Video coming soon???
Sure, I can do that. They are fine.
@@aquachigger Ghost! 😀
Wow great hunt
Yes, as you know probably better than anyone. It’s getting harder and harder to find good places to hunt on ground, but it’s worth every minute. You never know.
14:54 - *Congrats* Beau!!! What an amazing find!!! Question: My Friend gave me his Father's unused 'Sears' brand metal detector. When I turn it on it has a constant high pitched beep similar to the pin-pointer. Nothing that I do makes this machine stop screaming. There is nothing metal on the loop, etc. Have you ever heard of this with a metal detector before? Maybe it's broken???
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Chigg is feeling silly!😊
Cool relics, chigg
Most awesome! I will NEVER get tired of watching your vids Chigg. I'm having some trouble getting out right now, but I'm using my downtime for research. Without giving up your secrets, what's your main source of reference for looking for campsites and routes of march. I'm raring to get out there, I just have to figure out where to go. Have a blessed day Beau!
😀
that ny state button is sweet!
it would make an interesting display showing all the junk iron you dug before you got a decent iron target.
what a great day! lots of good relics!
do you think the brass curry comb could be confederate due to iron shortage?
What's the difference between modern non plated and civil war era buckshot?
Can you do a restoring video on that gun wrench and ramrod
niiiice!!!
11:49 kinda looks like a bullet or shrapnel strike on it. maybe it was hit in the soldiers cartridge box so he dumped it.
Did you find anything in your own yard? I am wondering 💐
What large coil do you recommend for the AT Pro do you use the reaper coil or will it work on the AT
Yes, I use the Reaper most of the time.
Lol they must of brushed the horse then put it out of misery... I hope not lol
Has anyone told U, U look like Shea Whigham the actor
ok
When are you going back to Maine and Capt Billy?? Tired of Civil War stuff.
Must be a mainer too or something, lol. Civil War stuff is top tier
1st
I was actually first but chigg deleted it by acciden.
@@CHAD-RYAN ssssuuuuuuuuure.

So true.
