      @@debilee1654 Hello Debbie. Aquachigger (Beau) only replies to a few comments for about 30 minutes after a video is released. He has stated that it is because he has so many subscribers 1.2 million and so many videos, and over a number or platforms, he can't cope with all the comments, questions and the notifications that are generated. As a Long time follower, I can tell you that Beau exclusively uses the Garrett AT Max. You need permission from Landowners to detect. Some parks are okay, check Bylaws, and most school fields are okay. Rivers depend on where property lines are marked, but river beds are normally fair game, beaches in general are okay. State parks need permission. Finally, the country where you are is also a consideration. For instance metal detecting is not permitted in Ireland and in Portugal. Hope that helps.

    Hey Chigg,
    I believe the item you said looks like a shield is a headlight reflector and the shield pattern is for the ears of the bulb.
    The 4 legged part with the hole in it is a part of an inspection plate for some type of a tank for fluids or steam. It’s missing the plate and the screw that goes through the hole in the 4 legged part you found.
    Have a good one.

    That brass cap with the spout came off an old time oil bottle, the kind you fill yourself then press the bottom and it goes "boink! doink!"

    Another very interesting video. Love the fork. The cross shaped bit of metal at 3.24 could be the clamp from an inspection hatch on a compressor air tank. A bolt passes through the central hole into the small hatch door which then pulls it tight against the inside rim of the opening. Sad that I know that. I really should get a life !!

    Chigg, I sub a handful of detector sites. Hillsdale Boys, Rocks Cousteau, Scottish Detectorist, Terra Germania and you. All diverse areas, with different finds. But you are my favorite. Probably because of your personality and that you work the rivers that I know. I asked this before. Do you own "The Shenandoah River, Rediscovering the History of the Shenandoah and it's Branches" The copy I have was copyright 1997 by the Virginia Canals and Navigation Society, published by The Friends of the Shenandoah River. If you don't have a copy I would be happy to find one for you. It's a book that you could really profit from. Thanks for the many hours of enjoyment over the last few years.
