Beach Metal Detecting Nome Alaska
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лис 2024
- Join me as I search the beach with my Garrett AT Max metal detector in Nome Alaska. I detect in an area that was camped on by the gold miners back in the early 1900's. I hope to find a double eagle gold coin, but have to settle for other treasures.

I think I may have found the cause of your rocks with holes, Piddocks
Pidocks are unique in that each side of their shells is divided into 2 or 3 separate sections. Furthermore, one of the piddock's shells has a set of ridges or "teeth", which they use to grind away at clay or soft rock and create tubular burrows. The shape of these burrows is due to the rotating motion of the piddock as it grinds the rock to make its home. The piddock stays in the burrow it digs for the entirety of its eight-year lifespan, with only its siphon exposed to take in water that it filters for food. When the piddock dies and leaves an empty tubular burrow, other marine life such as sea anemone, crabs and other molluscs may use the burrow.
Yup, pholad boring. In Europe they're called Hag rocks and are said to have magical properties.
Who else read this entire comment and then went and looked up videos of a
piddock.
Yep! Before I saw your comment, I too went searching on the net, and found the same info....Cool! Thanks!
@@RolandtheThompsonGunner Doing it now,
We find lots of beach glass here in Buffalo NY on Lake Erie. Red is a rare color but black and orange are even more rare. We find beach glass marbles also that have been tumbled around the lake bottom for decades and decades. They get all frosted up too. There are a few ways so many marbles got into Lake Erie. Kids way back when would break Codd bottles for the marbles that were in a groove of the bottle neck and were used for stoppers. Ships carrying loads into Buffalo used marbles as ball bearings to assist in the unloading of cargo at a dock. Sometimes marbles were used as ballast. When the ship was loaded, marbles were dumped into the lake so the ship wasn't too low in the water. Marbles were cheap to use for ballast back then.
i have such a bottle. my grandmother called them a "hog nose". lay it on its side, and the top looks like a hog nose. also,she was from Arkansas, college mascot is a razorback !!!
I'm Maine where I grew up on a beach my grandmother lived at beach glass hunting was what we did during the summer. Red and blue we're always the best to find. Sometimes there were purple pieces too. I literally have pounds of sea glass that I will never get rid of. I love it all
I love your metal detecting videos, keep it up!!!
See, he answered u!
Carol V yeah I'm sooo happy
I live in England we have millions of rocks with holes in them, a shellfish made them its a small clam type shell its called a piddock they bore into boats as well
The holes in the rocks are from smaller rocks rubbing against them every time the tide comes in and out. Its not from multiple rocks it is usually from a one single rock that is stronger then the bigger one it is rubbing against. You can even find these "holy Rocks" under your roof where the rain drips water itself will drill through rocks in a year or two.
Hi! When I lived in Minnesota we founds lots for those stones with holes, same as your finds. I was told by a old timer that they were fishing weights made by the early Vikings explorers!
The piddocks clams made the holes in the rocks.
The natives also used the rocks to tie to their nets to hold them down. The natives didn't drill the holes.
The holes are caused by a clam that borrows into rocks as it grows... we see them all over the beaches on the Kenai peninsula😀😀
My great grandpa was stationed in nome Alaska during ww2, he was a telegraph operator, and he was the only one stationed there until ww2
where i live in northern cali we have a place called Glass Beach...there once was a glass factory on the cliffs (headlands) and they dumped all the broken and mistake pieces into the ocean...years later, we can still pick it up a 100 yrs later
Bucket list lifestyle !!
too cool !!
Watching your videos inspired me to start metal detecting myself. Keep up the good work.
Holes in the rocks are caused by a bi valve creature called a piddock,we have loads of rocks along the south coast of the U.K riddled with holes in various rock types
Chig, natural holes in stones/pebbles on beaches are usually created by boring clams, members of the Piddock family.
Keep up the great work!
I love Alaska and gold and all but man I can't wait for the Chig to be home pulling muskets out of rivers :)
Nice to see the Max in action!
I can't wait to get mine in! HH & Thanks for sharing! ~ Gypsy
This rock with the hole is formed by a shell called Piddock, they drill a hole into the bed rock with the top sticking out collecting partials of food that pass by with the fronds.
That iron discriminator feature is outstanding. I vote for the mollusks, yes, we all know Jr. noggin is around, and Beau has told us 1,000 times who he is with.
Finally, who cares if you are first. 😲
NuggetNoggin found that same watch fob! that's funny, huh?
he also kept a rock with holes in it. for the same reason the chigg kept it. that coincidence is the ultimate evidence that ALL metal detector guys are controlled by alien-illuminati
Jet fuel cant melt holes in rocks.

You and nugget noggin must have the same relic angel watching over you guys be couse you guys find several items that are the same. Crazy huh! Thanks for posting...enjoy all your adventures!
they search in the same area, Nome alaska
I have always known the rocks with the holes in them as Hag Stones. It is caused by the flow of the water. It is supposed to bring good luck when given as a gift. My wife and myself make jewelry out of them.
Thanks Chigg really enjoy your vids and have
I think the rocks are net weights for fish net weights usual gill nets used by the locals learned from the natives. It's been passed on around the globe.
Google image: gill net stone weights
Nugget found a badge just like your. Pretty funny He found his in Alaska also. Nice video.
I love watching these videos! I still don't even have one, but, plan to get one when we return to the US from Korea.
Hello , In my humble opinion the holy rocks are weights from native fishing nets . Dan out .
Some kind of sea critter makes "holy" rocks. Worms, shelled animals even urchins burrow into stone. The n. Ca coast is full of them.
The holes are from sand and small pebbles swirling in a small pocket. After many many years the swirling sand and pebbles erode circular holes
Cool finds Aquachigger! If you ever find yourself near Louisville, KY, we'll take you to a couple secret Civil War sites! One of them is where the plate in my avatar came from. There's also a lot of creeks in that area.
Rock with hole in is a weight. There is usually an indentation on the outside edge for a rope to be tied to.
I believe that rifle bullet is a 30/40 Krag used for a very short time then The bolt-action rifle most commonly held five rounds and was originally chambered in .30-03, but was soon manufactured in the new .30-06 cartridge.
Very interesting video Beau.
Aquachigger, the holy rock is probably where a bivalve has burrowed into the rock at some point.
The rock forms that shape from water basically when the water hits the rock it will create a soggy rock but there will always be a party of the rock that soggyer than the rest of the rock. once the rock dries up the soggy bit will still be there but you might not notice it then when the sun hits it it creates a hole causing the rock to transform into a different shape x
I was thinking nugget found the same exact watch fob. What a HUGE coincidence.
The stones with holes in them are known as adder stones, hag stones, fairy stones (or by like a million other names). the holes can be caused by water erosion, friction from other rocks or by a type of mollusk called Pholas. just FYI.
Holey rocks, either eddy formed in streams, or maybe they are tools for holding the spindle when using a bow drill for starting a fire. I believe it's called a bearing block. Not sure, though...
The rock could've been used to straighten arrow or atlatal shafts, or been used as a flywheel in a pump drill. The hole was more than likely made by a process called "pecking" where a rock that is harder than the piece being worked is banged against the rock that you want to be used, over time a hole will appear, the tapering inward is usually found when a rock has been pecked.
aren't those used for Fishing nets? those are the weights.
In the time span we're talking, the bullet could be either a .30-40 Krag or a .30-03 Springfield or .30-06 Springfield.
It may be hard to tell since they're all .30 caliber bullets. But it looks like a .30-40 Krag.
That bullet you found could be a 30/40 Krag, from the Krag Jorgenson rifle. It was a military rifle from that time period that was used by the US military for only a few years. It was just not powerful enough for the military so they dropped it from service.
Hello Aquachigger, the holes in the rocks are caused by little rocks and sand caught in whirlpools and they swirl around and over the years they carve holes in rocks and stones. I have seen that alot in South Carolina in the Great Falls area.
Nugget found the same thing (badge) ....pan,hammer etc....in better shape.
I posted about Nugget just now too.
Yea I noticed that
It reads Pluck is Luck
I can't believe you and nugget found the same freaking thing!
Not stirring the poopot but he found the exact same things
Hello Mr Chigger, I think there's a creature called a Piddock that creates holes like that in rocks and pebbles but it surprised me how they look exactly the same as old loom weights for weaving fabric. Funny how two different species end up creating the object.
I dont know what is causing the holes but I do know that in the reefs, clams slowly secrete some type of acidic membrane that allows them to slowly dig themselves into the reefs surface until only their "lips" if you will, are sticking out of the rock.
I found similar rocks with holes in them on Cantadora island off Panama. Also have seen similar rock holes in Lake Memphramagog in Northern Vermont.
Dude chigg!! Nuggetnoggin totally found that same badge recently!!!
He is in Alaska too....
The badge is from 1900, and says "pluck luck".
Looks like you could use some Chapstick? Hope you had a great time in Alaska! Did you do any videos in CALIFORNIA.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
Up the 505 or the 5? I live in Red Bluff. You should check out My. Shasta. It has quite an unusual history behind it. I saw a video about it.
I have found one of those rocks with a hole in here in Finland it but that rock was more than twice the size of that one, pretty interesting
Interesting area Aqua - Nugget Noggin was up there also lol!
Hag Stones….the water creates the holes. They are said to be good luck and if you look through the hole you may see the fae!
The rocks are made by sand getting onto it and slowly cutting it away until a circle is made and it expands so it keeps it semetracle
Chigg, check the date on the Washington Quarter. A 1955 25c is Silver. Clad copper coins started in 1965, so something is not right there.
Chig ive seen holy rocks like those before they were for starting fires. Holes never used to go all the way through. They would put kindling in hole and spin a stick to generate heat.
If you were asking me they are antique net weights used by early man I've seen them before.glass ball floats with stone weights you asked for opinion that's mine just cause I've seen them displayed.
Nuggetnoggin was in Alaska also and found the same exact watch fob with the pick and shovel on it. He thinks it may be some kind of badge.
hey Aquachigger, I'm a big fan of yours, just watched a movie called "The Timber" a movie about Alaska in the "old timers" days. You'll like it, give it a watch. Keep hunting and this movie will make you "hold your breath".. lol
I have a rock with a hole in it that I found in an Indian encampment. It was identified as a fishing net weight by the Indians that had lived there. Then rock and some projectile points were found in my yard. This was about 50 years ago.
Nuggetnoggen must of been on your beach a few days before you. He also found an exact copy of the watch fob you found, you can read the writing on his and it also looked like it may of been gold plated. As to the holes in the stones, i read that they often can be found in waterfalls. and appear to be formed by small pebbles dancing on top of bigger rocks in eddy currents. The taper would possibly come from the smaller rock wearing away as it danced about there for cutting the tapered hole.
Hi Chiggy! Did you not take the watch fob with you? Maybe its the same one Nuggitnoggin found.
those holes could have been made by small bivalve molluscs called piddocks or angelwings
Cool keep up the good work
Beach glass can also be formed from lightning hitting the sand and
actually melting the sand into glass...
That badge shaped thing says cluck is luck, Nuggetnoggin found the same thing on his video he posted yesterday while detecting in Alaska
Ryan Corbell cluck as in chickens?
Pluck, not cluck.
Those holes are caused by water expanding and contracting and breaking minute particles of stone each time. When it eats all the way through over hundreds are even thousands of years the rocks are scooted over the sands and stones and that widens the diameter of the stones on the bottom after it can no lpnger hold water The small started holes simply have not had enough time for nature fo finish the project, Here locally in Central Texas we have large granite stones such as the famos Enchanted Rock near Fredricksburg that have near perfect bowls that are caused the same way,
Nugget found one of the watch fobs too!
Yay another video!!!
The rocks were weights for fishing nets used way before the natives were here by the Chinese ,they found all along the coast to Vancouver ,same as huge rocks with holes were used for balast on Chinese junks found along coast research it if you don't believe
Tho stones with holes look like banner stones from the native inhabitants. The straight sided holes were bored with a cane and the stone was used as a banner stone or gorget. Tapered sided holes were made with a flint drill.
Sand that swirls on a limited surface over the stone forms the holes. Usually made in water. Humans made similar holes like that "back in the days" to start a fire with sticks and tree wool, but i dont think thats why!
Red glass is rare because it is made by adding gold to the molten glass.
You and Noggin are posting Alaska vids at the same time. Were yall there at the same time?
Hi it's me again, I wonder. I have seen stones with holes through, which have been used for spinning wool. Although this stone you found is quite large, some thing that the eskimos might have used. Or could it be used to keep weighted a fishing net on a small trawl.
Danny.
nugget noggin got way more exited than he should over a watch fob lol
Very similar finds at the beginning of the video to Nuggetnoggin's beach detecting from the same beach. I think he uploaded the video yesterday. I wonder why you're not out there with him!
Chigg are you gonna be able to see the total eclipse of the sun???? I'm in the upstate of SC. I'll get to see the full effect. Wish I had about a thousand of those special glasses.... You could make a fortune lol
Nuggetnoggin found that same watch fob you found.
Those rocks are from the Mooooon.
it's made of cheese
FACT !!
Churned up from the milky way lol
You know what's funny nugget noggin found the exact same panning metal badge I find that highly unlikely something is up not to be rude I love your videos chigg but both you and nugget find that same rare panning metal class of 1900 and he was up there too I can't believe you both found a different one when it looks exactly the same lol
When I'm in the area I put amber glass in my pocket that I find and then throw it into Lake Ontario, just to give future beach glass hunters some finds.
In Nuggets video he found one of those badge looking things that you found...is really nice looking
THANKS
FOR ANOTHER
GREAT VIDEO,🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
That little piece of metal with the holes in it may be part of a can opener. Think of the ones used by the military that often hang on dog tag chains.
Patrick Southam that's called a p38 and by jove, it does kinda resemble one
Chigg in your honest opinion,do you think there's going to be much of a difference in depth from the AT Pro and Gold with the AT Max? I have both the Pro and Gold and will buy the Max regardless but the two videos I've seen comparing them it seems they're exaggerating the results to show the Max is deeper than it actually shows in their video. Thanks for your response.
Hey chigg love your videos especially the river hunts. Id love to start detecting but just cant afford it. I was wondering if you ever get tired of one of your machines id love to have one. Keep the vidoes coming thanks
I think those holes were formed by air bubbles escaping through the molten rock during volcanic periods.
I've gotta piece of beach glass
That piece of copper was the body of a metal detector
that got smashed to bits by an old prospector.
Believe it or not water will cut rocks after thousands of years, hi pressure water will bore through rock and wood. I have found large trees buried 30 feet that have bore holes through out. And they are perfectly round.
I think NuggetNoggin found one of those shields too!!
Catherine Medford ya lol
Hey Beau nuttin noggin heheheheh just found the same type of watch bob metal detecting in Alaska, just thought you might like to know :)
Nuggetnoggin found that same badge but completely full.
The thing at 13:36 might be part to an alarm clock, Nuggetnoggin found something just like it.
These are cool but I miss the river treasure hunts.
That's funny chigg you might already know by now but nuggetnoggin also found one of those pluck it Badges and in Alaska just recently in fact I watch this video last night and he found the same exact thing
