When I was a kid I had a quarter that had a hole in it. Had a piece of fishing mono on it and use to use it to get free plays on the pinball machines.
George Holt ~ Oh man! That sounds fun. 😁
I used to love playing pinball, even skipped school to do so.
space invaders was my game...cant beat a good old guitar string curled at the end...saved me a fortune
Social distancing is my main aim in life. I live on the edge of the north yorkshire moors, it's beautiful ❤half an hour one way and you have whitby (Dracula anybody 😁) half an hour another way and there are steam trains, half an hour another way and there's bits of roman road. I truly love it here! No need for anything social at all 🤣
The Chigg in his natural habitat, engaging in our favourite activity
That seaweed is gold to us hot pepper growers.
The coast of Maine is beautiful this time of year, but awful chilly. Keep warm, stay safe, and happy hunting!
Hi from Greece.Thank You for your amazing videos.
Glad to see you up here in my neck of the woods Chigg!
I enjoy your descriptions of the topography in relation to habitation.
Another awesome hunt chigg. I do think that you need to go back to the cracks an see if you can get some more of the silver coins an maybe some copper as well. Who knows you just might find a bunch of gold coins from an old pirate ship from days gone bye. Maybe some treasures from Sir Francis Drakes voyages or even black beards treasure stop.. Lol.😁👍👍
Love how excited you get when you find something.
This guys a digging Buda . Thanx 4 takin us ! . Yr the arms an legs of sum .
Reminds me of folks like SiFinds and Nicola mud larking on the River Thames. Looking for treasure when the tide is out.
I can't handle SciFinds. Its all so clickbaity and some of the finds seem fairly suspicious.
👍 Awesome G girl glad you're out there doing some metal detecting find something cool
Sweet! Viking treasure is all I’ve found in England!
My grandpa has around 18 acres of woods in upstate NY and there are a lot of old foundations and bottles. I hope I can go down there for a day and metal detect!
Awesome to see a little love for my stomping grounds in Maine! I live in Damariscotta but I would love to know exactly in Maine this is?
Downeast Maine- doesn't get any better!
Chigg I'm so jealous now watching your videos, especially when you go out metal detecting. I'm stuck at home with my leg broken and can't go out there metal detecting myself. All I got left to do is to enjoy your videos, got plenty of time for that now I guess. As always, you're awesome 👍
😂😂We do say Fishing Weights in England!. Lots of love, Lynn from England 💋
Only the Chigg could find something where others had looked previously. 😊
Right on! It’s always cool to see old coins, no matter what they look like. 😁👍🏻
holed coins were known to be sewn inside mens vests and coats/jackets and that way they could pluck one off to make payment - pockets in pants were not very popular and were not well made way back when - you have to imagine a person back then being on horse back and coins would not stay in your pocket very well - not everyone had a purse
Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE see ya on the next
If you go out to like outskirts of Richmond near bowdinham you can go on cardmachine road you go down bout few miles you will go over two small wooden make shift bridges for streams but if you few miles in on you're left a old dump if you go in their down near the dump it's now landfill you will see a path into woods. It has old housees the frames and old stuff all over down their. Prob be worth a look
I used to live on carding machine rd. Duck hunted on the abby by the dump. Didn't know about the abandoned structures.
Looks beautiful, I was helping a neighbor plant his cranberry bog today out in Bandon Oregon, blue sky, and warm, feels great! Happy to see you enjoying yourself!
a beautiful adventure Chigg
Lead was used for patches on boats/ships - I find a lot in the ocean especially near old wharf sites
Great view s nice silver coin hope you go back to the crack in the rocks 😜👍
I enjoy watching your streams. Your voice is easy to listen too. Hope to see you find a coin or two or some old stuff from early years
Plz make sure no one liters in my beautiful state. I see vids on YT ppl often will break glass not pick it up and we have alot of Indian kids or half Indians like myself that use these woods as a playground. So plz and thank you. Also love you're vids
I can confirm in England we call it a fishing weight also gloves!!
First time commenting on one of your videos- I'm in Nova Scotia, and earlier this spring I dug a "coin" in a coastal area where the first setters from Mass had landed. Anyway, the "coin" with the hole turned out to be a temperance Society token/pendant. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case you were still trying to figure it out. LOVE your videos! Lol, thanks.
If you ever feel up to making an international video come on over to Canada. That coastal site is a 40+ acre permit with coast and farm fields in the community of Chebouge, NS.
You the man Aquachigger
They must have big fish in Maine to be using 30-30s.
Fin Fun always Fun 👍😁👍😎👍😁👍
Chigg everyone loves your story telling and adventures ,but I'm ready to see you back on the water holding your breath .Thanks for the great times.
I would say your net weights are 1800s - I have like 100 of them from around old pier/wharf areas and coins i get around them have been large cents and 1800s silver- good way to date relics are by the coins you get around them
I spent my childhoods a clam digger in Harrington Maine.
I'd say by the looks of that tide you are somewhere in Washington county. Reminds me of the banks of the St. Croix river up my way. Somewhere near Calais or Robbinston. I stand corrected, more like the Bar Harbor area.
I used to walk Castine Maine at low tide, talk about pottery shards!
Thanks Chigg, I lived in Maine about 20 years mostly inland, not coastal..... had enough of that crap in MASS. =)
During WWII the military fenced a ton of the coast of Maine to keep out zeee Germans, imagine having that detail... In fact there is a story of a U-boat making it past the defenses in Portsmouth Harbor and someone sending a postcard from the city. Not sure of the validity of any of those stories but they sure are great folklore.
You should metal detect off river road in Windham,or along the presomscot river near portland. or the old Oxford and Cumberland canal in westbrook/portland. Oldest parts of the state..
Good finds!
I love this video format.
Haha, I know exactly where you are!!
Hey man thank you for the video I enjoyed it and I hope the mud give you back your shoes because if not somebody will find them in a hundred years from now
Man I would have really combed that area for sinkers where you found the net weight - saves five bucks each if you are a striped bass fisherman ( and I am) . Enjoyed the video as always!
17:32 Think you can just make out a “1818” on the back. Nice find!
You need to come inside Maine to the Benedict Arnold Trail you'll find all kinds of wartime cannons
Chigg, had I known you were in my backyard I would have had you over for a lobster bake! Next time.
Yeh you’re living in the most beautiful place on earth god bless America good luck mate👍
That’s beautiful land.
I cast my own blackpowder bullets, I can't believe the amount of free lead you pull out of the ground! Can I be your shadow :)
Very beautiful place, watching with JoJo my parrot,has to.enjoy your videos with me. Wish you could have found a cache of gold Doubloons.. and use those glass proof gloves!
I’ve wondered if “hole coins” were sewed into clothing to hide from robbers/muggers
Nice finds.
Thank u ur videos are uplifting I appreciate theme
Wondering if you ever identified the coins? I thought I could see a border on the one you thought was a dime and maybe a silouette on another.
Maine is a beautiful state I’d love to visit one day.
Also Chigg, you sound very out of breath, have you had a check up lately? Sorry but I care... love ya and stuff❣️
That certainly looked like a coin along the left hand almost center of the screen at around 14:38. Anybody else see it?
Love ya CHIGG 😁
You can stop at the short stretch of New Hampshire beaches on the way home. Most are closed, but good luck.
When you going to show us what you found down in that ravine where you saw all the coins
Are the wholed coins commonly found around water? Fishing lure possibly?
Awesome holed shield nickel!
Both theories might be right. On the one hand you do have easier storage if you string them, on the other, European culture(s) has/have a lot of examples of gold and silver coinage being worn as a ... forgot the specific word, but as something given by the father of the bride for the new family or even as heirlooms. My own family, which has a roots all over Europe, has quite a few such set pieces where for example a silver 1920 franc, with a bunch (15) of gold 1910 20 francs pierced as a chest piece (think like a rhombus net under the coins) with little pearls as spacers. Weird things people of the "ground" did back in the day.
Omg.. Please come to plaistow NH and search our old brickyards and mills! Pretty please?
Chig, check out Queer Eye Season 1 episode 5. The guy in that episode is named Bobby Camp and looks exactly like you. I thought it was you even, until I looked up that it aired in 2018 and he looks a tad bit younger than you. Could be your doppelgänger. 🙃
gday from down under what did you find in that ravine
I'm in coastal Maine , love to see you ?
Were are you in Maine? Cool net weights.
Someone else commented that they knew exactly where he is and that he should go to Bowdoinham, so Im guessing Midcoast region, between Brunswick and Rockland.
The coin with the hole in it looks like it could be a Shield Nickle (1866-1883).
we also call them 'sinkers' up in the north east u.k
I miss your artillery vids
👍😁👍
Maine huh? Let me know when your hitting Massachusetts! Would love to meet up. Another awesome video!
King Chig!!!! 🤴
If there's water Chiggs heading towards it.
God Bless Cornholio😁
I’m in Maine right now
Chigg's ! :) Another nice video. I am wondering every time I see your videos though. How do you dare to not wear gloves? My experience is that there are sharp and or pointy things everywhere. I love your videos! Please give your fingers a little more protection. :)
With so many detector users going by the tone of signals running on all metal mode, I've always wondered why buy a detector with discriminate mode? Do you ever use the discrimination settings?
We call them sinkers here in the uk.
It would of been nice to see the arrow heads
I didn’t think you were going to find anything good on that island! Congrats on the large copper coin! Looks like 1878???
SeahawksFan 72 yup I’m pretty sure the us stopped making large copper cents in 1857
You need to get some whooppie pie and don't eat all of it, save some for your poor longsuffering wife.Maple syrup is the best.
sample of some net weights from a hunt at an 1800s wharf site - other old relics and coins were found here - seated dimes - 3 large cents - early IHs and 2c piece are just some found around these weights

At 1:49, square in the middle looks like a washer or a coin.
Are you changing into a New England fan?
Do you ever go back and look around the silver dollar water hole ?
Why is the tide change so drastic up there...?
Hi there, it’s because we have what’s known as a marginal sea, meaning that the landscape closes around in a near semi circle, which creates a funnel type area and tides really don’t get a chance to fully drain out before the next tide
Comes in. Two tides per day or diurnal all
I think he is using the ATL Max ( "all the lead, Max!"
Even off the beaten path the poachers are working.😐
Up to the high tide line in Maine is public land, but people will argue and claim rights anyway.
I hope you enjoy this little adventure.
