  • Metal detecting along the river, exploring and searching a long lost legend of a Civil War encampment on an island in the middle of a river that guarded a crossing. I motor up and down the river in my motorized kayak looking for the most likely island that may contain the remains of the soldiers camp. I discover some pretty interesting things along the way and my metal detector finally sounds off and I find a nice collection of Civil War and colonial era relics.

    This was a great adventure to kind of wrap up the water season and I find some good relics. I hope you enjoy.
    There is a huge Black Friday sale at one of my channel sponsors stores and metal detectors and a wide assortment of gear are on super sale. Please check them out here and help support my channel and adventures with your patronage. Thanks.... The Chigg

    Oh man is that cool. I’ve been metal detecting for years. Lots of mining in the desert going through people’s fresh tailing piles looking on nuggets, dry washing, lots of Southern California beach detecting found all kinds of treasures. Having mined up in Northern California, we have found the 1850’s , older , or newer donkey trails metal detecting them. We’ve found the same kinda looking bullets, just not sure what kind but we know they are old. I’m to old to be hiking all over those mountains and trails, and I even found a encapsulated bullet in a knotted piece of tree wood on the ground. Who knows how old that is. I miss all detecting for historical items and mining. This getting old crap sucks

    Chig you should get one of those self inflating life vests, they're perfect for this scenario. Just put it on when you get in the mokai, dosent intrude your movement even while on dry land. but it'll do it's thing if you fall in the water!

  • @willykanos1044
    @willykanos1044 4 роки тому

    A safety tip: Wearing hip boots makes sense but if you are boating don't attach them to yourself - especially if you won't wear a PFD. When you go in the water the hip boots will fill with water and you will need to get out of them. If you're attached to them with belt loops, calf laces, or the thigh straps are cinched down it will be impossible to shed the boots and you will drown.

      @lal5555f 4 роки тому +2

      @Jimmy Houston lol "resources" like you are paying for anything or have any involvement. With or with out the show they would be doing this out of pocket! From a historical point of view their finds are re-writing history its self and that is a treasure that can't be beat! You dum dums think a chamber full of gold is going to start spewing from the high seas and crash along the shore with every wave bringing endless amounts of gold for all eternity. You need instant gratification because you watch to much damn tv. This is real that is why you are bored because only so much can happen in a years time.Try to Think about what is actually happening on that show! Its a giant puzzle and they are slowly solving it piece by piece Revealing forgotten history. Its about the history pay attention! They want answers more than any actual "treasure" and they are starting to get answers but also more questions! Its a modern day mystery unlike anything else and unlikely to ever happen again. Archeological abnormalities people! On top of all that these guys get to enjoy their meaningful lives work. Think some more and maybe you will figure it out
