Sounds like you found piles of nuggets in Canada Beau and this one looked especially cool. Hope we get to see them all cleaned up, polished and on your display table someday. I went out yesterday with the husband and took a short walk through an old orchard I used to look for arrowheads in when I was a kid. It was on the site of an old Indian camp. In a few minutes I found 19 worked chips and one arrowhead. I also found two opossum skulls with their bones, I didn't bring them home tho, just took pictures. (The opossum bones that is) Now I wish I had. You inspired me to get out and revisit old places I used to roam as a kid. It has been wonderful. Thanks a million!
Hey chigg, I've been watching your adventures many years now.I subscribed back when you has around 30,000 now you over a million congratulations. Thanks, for all the adventure you have brought us along on.
nice score on the nugget; meminer seems so calm; I guess he has seen a lot of the area but I can say from my computer screen that place looks screaming awesome; great content
Chigg I will never in a lifetime get the finds you do. My location just doesn't have the history yours does, BUT I am always so happy to see you save so much history. I am happy for you :)
Thank you Aquachigger, for taking me along with you by my viewing your videos. You an excellent video maker and it is my prayer for you that you find loads of good stuff, silver, gold, and all things else.
Cool find! The building looks like what we have, er' had around here. We called them dynamite shacks. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. You tell a great story every time.
It definatly isn't for explosives. All explosive storage has a weak roof for the blast pressure to escape before the walls blow out and kill everything around.
When I was 15 I lived near a ghost town that was built around a peppermint plantation and I used to spend days exploring it with my brother. One day we discovered a small round sheet metal building set a short way from where the main facilities were located and inside I discovered a pile of waterlogged sticks dynamite. It was the explosives shed. All the tubes were flattened due to the explosive washing out of them over the decades of abandonment, but it was still incredible to imagine the plantation owners just leaving all that dynamite there when they closed up shop the better part of a century ago.
Polish smolish ;) Put that nugget in some nitric acid and dissolve completely. Than add a piece of copper to precipitate the silver crystals out. Melt the crystals into a bar ;)
They'd have to build that stone hut really strong because there are sasquatches in that area and sasquatches are well known for stealing dynamite. They use it as throwing sticks to knock squirls out of trees.
Just wondering can you preserve your iron pieces with olive oil? I collected a lot of cast iron skillets and after electrolytes I baked them with olive oil. Live in Naples Florida now and have a condo so no room! Lived in Chambersburg pa most of my life and had plenty of room. Ordered a at max thanks to your videos!
Well my first trip magnet fishing was not a bust I found some rebar and more junk. To much traffic on the little bridge where I was at. Maybe next time.
Sweet hunt - can e we see what you made of that nugget? Thanks! You have to go back in the fall, or when the bugs have gone to sleep and the trees are dropping their leaves - so pretty and I'd think less taxing. Happy travels :)
If that stone building is a fair way from a township or mines then you found the powder magazine where they kept the dynamite for blasting. The miners would have to put it somewhere safe. I've often found them in mining areas and quarries.
hard yakka I'm surprised there isn't more of them up there considering there are over 100 mines in the general area. I have found small wooden shacks usually in the woods a couple hundred meters from the areas they were working. Not outhouses that's for sure!
Well, there are mines downtown, so nowhere around is really away from a township or mine. I would think its a powder shack too, but could have also been a safe in a mine owners house, as they often lived on site. Most mines had mills on the same property too, and the workers lived in cabins on site as well. Thats how the Silver Centre and Giroux + Kerr lake towns happened. Its odd to have a date on a powder shack here, thats the only thing that makes me think maybe a safe. Plus where it is as well. But who knows.. Ill try to find a map that shows the layout at that site from around 1908-1910. There should be fire maps that show basically everything.
Try cleaning gold and silver nuggets with 35 percent hydrogen peroxide.it will eat everything except the metal.put it in a plastic bucket.it will start boiling in a couple of minutes.all thats left is metal.
Outdoorsygal O that's what I was thinking. Made me think of the meat house behind my grandma house that she lived in when she was a little girl. I don't remember the right name.
Fruit cellar? Food cache? Not sure, but I would bet that maybe even some lunches were stored in that vault while the men worked. There are bears there, so it would be a good idea to lock food up while unattended. You never know, right?
Caitlin's art people are mean sometimes. Why not pop over to a good forum to ask this. TreasurenetDOTcom is a great resource where all types of treasure hunters from all over the world share finds and knowledge. I am willing to bet there are more than a few members of treasurenet that live in Kansas.
If it’s that well made hum,,,it smells like a bit of Free mason activity there . A tradesmen made it a stone masonry structure like that out in the wild .".safety, security, and parts from the door lol,,! 😂 they had a strong reason for the lockup, .thank you guys very nice.
meMiner is a nice guy. One of the good guys for sure. Thank you.
If you get a chance you should show us some of the silver nugs cleaned up
yes that would be great :)
I will never call nugs nuggets again

I have videos of around here if you wanna see more of the area. I grew up here!
Chigg I will never in a lifetime get the finds you do. My location just doesn't have the history yours does, BUT I am always so happy to see you save so much history. I am happy for you :)

Love your videos Chigg . We like that you're always doing something different.
These vids always tend to chill me out.. live watching them.
awessome video mate and loving the video
Cool find! The building looks like what we have, er' had around here. We called them dynamite shacks. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. You tell a great story every time.
LOL - “flying saucer noises...”
Super cool video man! Thanks!
It definatly isn't for explosives. All explosive storage has a weak roof for the blast pressure to escape before the walls blow out and kill everything around.
Good point, that makes sense
Interesting. So it wasn't to keep sasquatches from stealing dynamite.
When I was 15 I lived near a ghost town that was built around a peppermint plantation and I used to spend days exploring it with my brother. One day we discovered a small round sheet metal building set a short way from where the main facilities were located and inside I discovered a pile of waterlogged sticks dynamite.

Holy crap! I thought that was a bear for a second at 9:14
You were swinging that pick like Yukon Cornelius lol. Congratulations on the Silver finds and thanks for sharing. Take care and be safe.
Nice nugget..... Hello from Serbia.... Your videos are really awesome...
Just subscribed to both your channel and meMiner. Congrats on that silver nugget find!
Right on!
That was awesome Chig and MeMiner! Thanks
If you put it in the acid, how does a timelapse video of it sound, Chigg? If you haven't already. Magnificent find!
thanks beau!
Awesome find.
Great find brother I do a lot of arrow head hunting and have found silver and gold while hunting for arrow heads
Thanks for that! Well done my friend. Rox
Love all your adventures keep up the good work
Woohoo! Another great video! Thank you for sharing! Happy Hunting!
Looks like what where caskets were stored during winter in a cemetery. We have tons of them in Vermont
Polish smolish ;) Put that nugget in some nitric acid and dissolve completely. Than add a piece of copper to precipitate the silver crystals out. Melt the crystals into a bar ;)
Legends say that Aquachigger per every minute finds something new
I like hanging out with the chigg heading out of Knoxville Tn 4:00 in the morning every Monday
Great start to the week
👍👍👍 well done , nice Video 👍👍👍
Enthusiastic guys! Well done!
Beautiful large hunk of silver, Good times
Really cool!
They'd have to build that stone hut really strong because there are sasquatches in that area and sasquatches are well known for stealing dynamite. They use it as throwing sticks to knock squirls out of trees.
I love the Nugget! Will make a nice paper weight.
Please do a video showing those nuggets all cleaned up and/or etched.
very cool maybe you could show it after you clean it up ??
It's entirely possible that the bedrock had a hollow innit and they decided that it would make a good starting point for a safe storage.

Congrats on the nugget !

Is the detector interfering with the caamera, cause it sounds like a slide wistle
Chigg will you be doing anymore river hunting videos? Those are my favorite.
Note to self, the Chigg will clean your dig sites out if you invite him over... :-)
Sweet hunt - can e we see what you made of that nugget? Thanks! You have to go back in the fall, or when the bugs have gone to sleep and the trees are dropping their leaves - so pretty and I'd think less taxing. Happy travels :)
do you seal the end of your pin pointer
Yea you found silver!!
I love it when you forget to edit out false starts. ;)
ALMOST TO 1MIL YOU CAN DO IT!!!
What is that behind him 9:15
When he said float nugget i imagined a chiken nugget falling out of a shipping container in the middle of the ocean an floating away
Great video! Be safe! God bless!
Was that Ricky or maybe a shadow person behind you at 09:16? Ohhhhhh scarrrrry!
If that stone building is a fair way from a township or mines then you found the powder magazine where they kept the dynamite for blasting. The miners would have to put it somewhere safe. I've often found them in mining areas and quarries.
hard yakka The Mills would have had lock up for the refined silver, my guess is a TNT shack
Yes it was a powder magazine . Seen a lot of them.
hard yakka I'm surprised there isn't more of them up there considering there are over 100 mines in the general area. I have found small wooden shacks usually in the woods a couple hundred meters from the areas they were working. Not outhouses that's for sure!

As a few other people said looks like a explosives store. Seen very similar structures around mines here.
Well done on the silver but you do realise you just kicked the bucket!!!...
Send it to Cody’s lab so he can make it pure silver😅
Man only one minute? Wow !!! Great find conversions piece. Can you say Bug Spray? Jesus
Love your videos, hi from Scotland btw
MOAR Silver ! !
Don't you know about clickbait?!? 😁...
"Video captures Aquachigger kicking the bucket!" 😜
I love your videos !
Could we see the nugget after its been cleaned up and looking nice and shiny ??
Nice lil lol nugget! BOOOM! Glad someone is doing my day dream while im at work dreaming it up :/
Nice video, have a great day.
I would love to see a picture if you do decide to etch it.
WOOT! Congrats!
Great!
Try cleaning gold and silver nuggets with 35 percent hydrogen peroxide.it will eat everything except the metal.put it in a plastic bucket.it will start boiling in a couple of minutes.all thats left is metal.
9:15 i thought that was a bear!!!
AWESOME..... I NEED TO HIT THOSE PLACES..... WHERES ME SILVER.....
That vault could have been used for food too.
Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thanks for the interview too! 😁
Outdoorsygal O that's what I was thinking. Made me think of the meat house behind my grandma house that she lived in when she was a little girl. I don't remember the right name.

Or maybe something valuable - like a beer cooler? I was later thinking maybe the walls were that thick just to defeat the bugs. LOL
LOL! 😆
Hey man congratulacion
Chiggs could that building be for explosives storage?
Now Chiggs about what % of the rock is silver?
Very nice sample. Too bad you didn't find a vein
Samsquanch are probably hangs out there it winter time with man bear Pig
Spot price for silver is $ 0.50 per gram. Fill yer pockets Beau!
I live in Kansas what type of metals would be here ?
If I ever ask a stupid question that I cannot look up myself please ban me from the internet.

Can we see the Nugget after being cleaned up????
👍👍👍👍
Explosive storage bunker???
