    You can't beat watching The Chigg in it's natural habitat.
    Searching through the undergrowth for his favourite things, his ability to hunt out awesome civil war relics is renowned the world over...now if only we could train him on truffles...
    It was truly great to see and hear the absolute joy as it was uncovered. Made my night and I'm across the pond!
    Peace

    Thank you for whatever it is you do to keep the signal beeps comfortably low in the video. Honestly it's the part of metal detecting that bugs me the most (I have misophonia), and unfortunately my Garrett AT400 doesn't have volume control. I wish it worked like my Dr. Otek pinpointer--no sound at all, just vibration and LED 4-color signals. Not only does it not bug me; using it feels so much more natural. I don't know why, maybe because solid objects are things we can feel and see, not hear, so detecting them accordingly seems more real.

    Beau, I've been watching your videos for about 5 years now and each video amazes me. I'm so inspired by you that I have to go out detecting every time I watch a video. Thank you so much!

    Awesome find Beau, that was once proudly cleaned and worn with great pride.
    The broken plate, made me as an a Veteran of what many including myself have done in destroying these items and throwing them away...
    Could be where he lived post war, or pre war and came back to a destroyed home.
    The dates of the nails would suggest destruction prior to the 1880's with no attempt to rebuild.
    In an imaginative mind you could see an Officer with his gold plated plate finding nothing left and throwing it away saying what was the point.
    But hey I over think things...but you just never know.
    Great hunt and journey around a beautifully constructed old homestead, the person who built it must have been very proud of it.
    All the best

    Chigg, The true name for the wick holder for a lamp is a "lamp font". I only know this because my mother use to collect old lamps and was always after old "fonts" to repair her broken ones. Just thought I,d let you know. You'll be the first detectorist on UA-cam who can call them by their proper name now. It will be fun to see who else starts. You'll know if the others are watching your videos when they catch on too. Keep that coil to the soil my man.
