Hey guys.... just want to let you know that I have not ben able to get out much lately. By mid-week or so, I should be able to get back out there more often. Thanks for sticking around and I hope you like the video! Chigg
We have a almost identical bridge in our town that was built around the same time. I think it was rebuilt around 1900 and fell into disrepair after it wasn’t used for traffic anymore. They’re currently spending a boatload of money to rebuild it again. It’s nice to see landmarks preserved and a shame when they’re at the point this bridge is where it’s probably beyond saving.
If that's where I think it is, somewhere on the downstream side you will find a Springfield ram rod, or parts thereof. We did some filming there about 20 years ago and my ram rod got stuck in my musket. We decided to shoot it out and filmed it. Didn't make the final cut but it was a once in a lifetime experience! :) Thanks for bringing us along on the journey!
In its day that was once a very nice bridge crossing maybe next time conditions will be more favorable for relics , Thanks for letting a few of us tag along Sams go with Ya!
I bet the men who built that bridge were mighty proud when it was done and celebrated down there in the creek with some stiff drinks while they admired their work and enjoyed the sun. Then they packed up and headed to the next job.... now it sits there a couple hundred years later in silence.
you found Silver! well sort of since 1943 nickels were 35% silver. I have yet to find a silver coin metal detecting. that really is a gorgeous bridge though, its a shame no agency maintained it to keep it from falling apart.
I’m from Canada and just found your channel, loved your finds and I am excited to binge watch the rest of you videos and to continue to watch and join you on future journeys when they become available 😊
That was an awesome explore of the old bridge and fun water hunt Chiggs. Interesting to see how that bridge was constructed too. Hope when you return that the coins you marked are old. Take care and best regards always.
Thanks for shareing! Enjoyed watching. I've had a great day, and a new video from Aquachigger too is awesome. Thank you for all you do in making your videos and shareing them with others!
I think checking the road on both sides leading up to the bridge 50 yards out may yield some other coins. People definitely walked that road leading up to the bridge.
Dude that was an awesome place. Just please be extra careful when you're out by your self. Those log jams can give way by them selves..... thanks Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE
Chigg, It looked like there were some big birds high up in a tree across the other side of the bridge. Were they Buzzards?? What bridge is that and where did it go? I'd really like to no more about it's history. Cheers, Rik Spector
That log jamb is what causes extreme devestating flash flooding. You should report that to the township and the county engineer. That needs cleaned out asap.
Ever hear of the channel Below the plains? This Guy Tom Askjem digs privy or out house sites from years ago and finds tons of bottles from the late 1800s to early 1900s was wondering if you ever dug at any old house sites.
Aloha Chigg, thanks for the friendship! James Monroe was the fifth President of the United States (1817-1825) and the last President from the Founding Fathers. 1943 nickel, nice, year I was born.
Thanks for the video, i already have lost 2 gatter carrots due to water entering the unit, I dont know why so I have stopped using in water, all 3 carrots i have used go crazy in water so I dont know how yours is working well?
Chances are that the tip is worn and a small pinhole has developed or the push button rubber may be old. With either one, just GOOP it up and carry on once you dry it.

It's all good chigg we'll always be here when you are back on the grind lol
You rubbed your face a lot w/wet hand...good enough for the flesh-eating bacteria..
Have a Garrett ACE 400. Is it waterproof to totally go under water.
@@laker3 I think chigg has a video out on how to waterproof a detector, I personally wouldn't try to get into the water without sealing it up
@@scrappydoo7887 Thank you. I'll try and find that video.
Chigg's Army, a group of loyal fans, will always stick around. No question, Beau. No one better. Loved the stone bridge.
Beautiful Bridge! The craftmanship is really something.
prolly built with slave labor

Great looking bridge. It’s sad to see such a beautiful landmark slowly being reclaimed by nature.
agreed, but it's also beautiful in a way
Loved the old bridge, thanks for the video Chigg.
Thanks for the Video It’s
Always fun tagging along on your Metal
Detecting River Adventures.And As Always Have a Great Evening😊👍
No prob Chigg.. looking forward to watching
Burnside Bridge!! lol I know its not but seeing that old bridge and wondering all the things it has seen, wow,,,Thanks for sharing!
It's actually a sister bridge.
@@aquachiggerVery cool! I hate seeing it going to down like that, but what can you do, right?
Very cool bridge Chig! You find fascinating stuff.

5 arch and close to you..... ;)
What a beautiful place; great for communing with nature, history, and looks like prime wading.
Thanks for taking us along to this amazing place
I loved seeing the top of that bridge

Your humorous determined attitude bodes well through your presentation.
I’m obsessed with this channel
I just found your channel! Loved this! New subscriber…excited to watch your other adventures!
Best regards from Poland and team #mazurskieposzukiwania

How natural your video is!
Thank you from Australia.
These hunts make my day. Thank you chig!!!! ❤ these adventures you take each of us on.
You sir have come a long way on UA-cam since 2011/12 , I remember watching you back in day when I came home from school years ago
Howdy CHIGG!! and thanks!😊👍
Looks like a clean river. That's good too.
The special 1943 Wartime Nickel you found has more silver than a regular silver dime. Good find🤩
Great video as always. These are so cool to watch. I love when a new one comes out. Any time they do I watch.
I gotta late start, but here you are already discovering!
Cool old bridge Chigg! Congrats on the IHP & War Nickel ✨🤠👍🏻
Awesome day! Chigg's back in the water!
Thanks for shareing! Enjoyed watching. I've had a great day, and a new video from Aquachigger too is awesome. Thank you for all you do in making your videos and shareing them with others!

That bridge is a beauty.
That was awesome chig.
There's a couple like that in Ct some they rebuilt to Original Condition Stone Mason's founders of our County fantastic Craftsmanship for Sure Beau!!!
Cool bridge! Where's this at??
I love that bridge! The history intrigues me.
Hurry home before you are drenched!
Long as you get home safe I consider it a great trip.
It's truly sad that the bridge isn't maintained. It looks so pretty.
Well done Beau. 😁
Looked like fun thanks for sharing!!!!
It's always cool and interesting to see old bridges.
Good to see you, sir. Loved your video in the superstition mountains. Love the respect you show for history and the land. Keep it up!
Thank you kindly
Love your places & love your videos!! Thank you for sharing!!
Awesome video man!
Gorgeous old bridge! I think you did pretty well, considering how much silt was loose in the water.
Thats a mother beautiful bridge as Odd Ball would say ! Wish someone could save her for future generations.
woof, woof
Nice war nickel, Chigg! 35% silver. :)
Some good finds. Worth going back when the water is clearer.
QuietPlaces here! We’re part of the chiggs Army! Stay strong my friend!😊
Thanks, you too!
I really enjoyed this video, thank you. Amazing song!!
What an amazing bridge! Reminds me of the ones we saw in your older videos!
Keep your eyes open chigger for beaver's great information about your video stay blessed and safe and happy 👍
Dude that was an awesome place. Just please be extra careful when you're out by your self. Those log jams can give way by them selves..... thanks Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE
Glad to see you back! I thought you stopped making videos a while back :(
Chigg nation on board
Chigg,
It looked like there were some big birds high up in a tree across the other side of the bridge.
Were they Buzzards??
What bridge is that and where did it go?
I'd really like to no more about it's history.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
I'm not aware of a molting season. They molt when they're ready. Which brings up the lovely concern of why... And is this water safe for me.
Very good content aqua. Greetings from Dominican Republic. Love detecting
Letting such a handsome and historic bridge rot like that is such a shame!
Indian head penny and a silver war nickel, not too shabby!
Yeah! Awesome.
Cool bridge.
Hey looks like you found a silver war nickel!! 👌
Hey there you are so breave going into the cold water really enjoyed the video thank you for sharing ❤
Another great video! Beautiful old bridge! Love finding Indian Head Pennies! Happy hunting and goodluck on the next adventure!

I like that 20 year old tree growing out of the stone pillar.
Love your river adventures 👍💯
Awesome video 🎉
Just think ,whose footsteps you were in today, while walking across the bridge from two hundred years ago.
That’ll be an awesome spot to hang out during the fall and winter
where did you get the underwater pin pointer?
Loved this video! What a nice adventure 😊
Super silver war nickel Chigg!
Dude, your video made my day. 👍
Aloha Chigg, thanks for the friendship! James Monroe was the fifth President of the United States (1817-1825) and the last President from the Founding Fathers. 1943 nickel, nice, year I was born.
What kind of metal detector are you using and does it go under water.
You think the city would preserve that bridge since it's so old
Great bridge..
Gotta get yourself some handy dandy large tweezers for those crack coins! Hate to leave a coin in the river, hey? Mike in sunny Florida
I have hemostats that I use, but hardly ever need them so don't carry them often.
I might have tried using a thin piece of bark or a small twig to wedge the coin out. Maybe used a rock to file down the twig to wedge the coin out.
You should try magnet-fishing off of that old bridge!
You go on the most amazing adventures. Thank you so much for taking us along with you 😊
Hey, hat was a war nickel! 43 with the big mint mark over the dome like that are SILVER,! Great find.
I really like your show Amen
Hey Chigg we need more caving videos!
Soon!
Approximately when was the bridge abandoned and why?
How do you find these super cool and secluded spots? I would be so afraid of bears!
More likely to drown than get attacked by a bear. There is tons of information online to research, but it does take time.
@@aquachigger thanks for replying! i have great admiration for what you do because i could never! takes someone super brave to do this!
An IHP saves the day!🤣 The old bridge was awesome to see!❤
Thanks for the video, i already have lost 2 gatter carrots due to water entering the unit, I dont know why so I have stopped using in water, all 3 carrots i have used go crazy in water so I dont know how yours is working well?
Chances are that the tip is worn and a small pinhole has developed or the push button rubber may be old. With either one, just GOOP it up and carry on once you dry it.
I always carry a flat head screwdriver to dig stuff out like those coins. I think I saw Samsquanch down there!
Ain't no doubt about it: Chig is a Charmer. :)
I like all of your vidios,.
I did enjoy your vidio thanks
Been curious Chigg, have you ever found a GW button?
