Civil War Railroad Search

  • Today we venture out and search a river for relics and other artifacts of our American history. I hoped to metal detect at a railroad bridge in the hills of West Virginia but upon working my way downstream I realized that the was a huge logjam blocking much of the area I wanted to search. Then I heard loud angry men yelling and cursing at each other just below the bridge, so decided to call it a day and scoot out of range of them before I heard the banjos fireup.
    About Aquachigger:
    I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
    metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my UA-cam "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
    BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

    Out and about searching an old railroad river crossing. Fun little adventure for me anyway. Tons of videos coming up, I'm finding it hard to stay inside and edit videos this time of year. I hope you understand.

      Chigg, what happened to the video you said you were going to show us where you found 2 silver half dollars, along with a bunch of other cool artifacts? You’re probably still editing it, based on your above comments about it being hard to stay in the house right now! 🙏👍🏼

    Aquachigger I found a buckle like the one you found, searched it for years. After around 25 years a man told me, it is a British shoe buckle, he had one just like it! Nothing like your videos, on a rainy day! God Bless, (Glen). WV.

    The large flange type nut that you were looking at is a kitchen sink drain retainer nut that goes to a sink. The strange flange thing just after that is an intake and exhaust bridge retainer that goes on a earlier 6 cylinder motor. It is used as a washer/bridge with a nut. Usually a 3/8 hole used with a stud instead of a bolt.

      @itsclearasmud7718 Рік тому +1

      I disagree. Its a crock spigot not an exhaust part. First finger and index on either side of te upper tube; press the button with your thumb and liquid drains out of the lower tube. Nuts and gasketed through a hole in the side of a water crock.

But enjoyed the day in the creek with you.
