- Join me and the members of the Tri-State Grotto as we explore the legend of the cave system that runs under the streets of Martinsburg West Virginia. We continue the dig under the historic General Adam Stephen house. He built the house in 1789 and designed it to withstand prolonged siege from the local warring native American Indian tribes.

He included a clear an concise shot of the historic informational marker. This man is a National treasure.
Hi Beau , Here in my Familys home town theres a cave that used to go from the vermilion river to the mississippi . In the 1850"s a relative of mine save some settlers from the sioux in an upriseing . most of the entrances have been sealed over the decades but a few access points still exist . Alot of history around here , cant wait to get a affordable tetector and start searching. My MOM told me where an OLD house was that she found cool things at is located . see ya next vid , thanks for all the work you put into these !See ya next time , George .
Anyone else think Chigg should do a live stream??
Gunzandstuff yea
I want him to do it to
he cant do a live stream from a cave guys lol ........no phone service or wifi just a hard line would work in a cave
Yes I agree
Can't wait to see the follow up on this cave. Looks like an awesome place. If those walls could talk......
Just got the chance to watch this video!! I'm so jealous that you get to do such cool things like that!! I absolutely loved this video!!! An update in the future on the progress of the tunnel would be awesome!!! Thanks:)
that's really cool. man just think of what you could do with a house that has a cave in the basement. you could have computers, and cars, and labs, and costume suits, and bats in there.
St. Louis, Missouri has many homes with caves that lead to the Mississippi River
thank you for letting us be a part of this. Very interesting
That was great! I'll definitely be contacting the Tri State Grotto once we finally get moved in at our farm. I may be old, but I can still crawl and dig!
I am sure you can contact someone from WVU to use a ground penetrating radar system to try to analyze what is in the ground, such as a rock path filled with dirt. It took no convincing whatsoever to get some geologists from there, help in gpr of the bog in Canaan Valley. Just in case those people are real serious about figuring out the truth about that tunnel.
This was really cool, Chigg! I loved the variety in this expedition as much as I love your treasure hunting ones!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊
Wow, what a fun video!! This is the kind of stuff I love, rural archaeology. The mind just races as to what those cave/rooms were used for. Slave quarters? Part of the underground railway? Places to hide Revolutionary or Civil War soldiers? Pirate booty? It could be almost anything! I'm looking forward to you returning with all your equipment.
This is your best cave vid yet , Thanks :)
Great video Mr. Chigger. I hope you keep us informed as the digging continues.
This weekend I spent time in Carlsbad caverns in New Mexico, I actually got inspired to go "explore" from seeing your caving videos. Even though those caverns are plenty explored. But I actually ran into some volunteer cavers who were actually cleaning the cave of red dirt from the 20s when you could walk wherever in the caverns, and all I could think was I hope I see aquachigger!
I clicked on the video so fast lol.Thanks for uploading 😄
Enjoying the cave/historical/exploring videos. This compliments the relic hunting videos nicely. Would like to see more of your collection too, particularly anything unusual.
I've been in the Lava river caves here in Oregon and Washington, Shoshone Ice Caves in Idaho and Carlsbad Caverns. after watching all your cave videos I defanatly need to get out and do more cave exploring
I love OLD stone houses...especially early 1700's, so much history!!!
these videos help me fall asleep 😂 have trouble with that and your voice is so relaxing :D always come back to watch the whole thing again though :p
Love the train at the start of the video hehe :)! Sweet!!! Love your vids keep it up matey! Cheers from the Netherlands.
great video thanx for taking us with you
Chapeau, Mr. Beau...you rock!
Chigg please do a part two I think that would be really amazing
Thanks, Chigg! You ROCK!
Man that is very interesting Beau . Thanks for posting this one I enjoyed it.
That is really cool. I know there are a number of caves underneath Charles Town, WV near where i live but they are all sealed off and I have never seen videos. Thank you for posting.
Nice, i love seeing old history , especially about the state i grew up in and still live in.
Thanks for bringing this to us.
Your videos are very educational no matter what you're exploring or unearthing. Keep up the good work.
Love the history Beau keep up the good work
Thanks for the video Chigg.
It is fun to dig into the past. Interesting video..
Looking forward to the next one on this "AquaDigger ",was great
Good to see thank you for the video.
Thanks for the look, very interesting stuff, it was ok for a while but it got a little tight for me , but you go get em Chigg that's why I love your videos.
My fathers childhood home was just a few hundred feet down the road from there and he would tell me that legend every time we passed it
LOVE STUFF LIKE THIS!!!!!! So cool
Thanks for the video Sir really enjoyed it
Your coolest video so far! Reminds me of the farmhouse I grew up in in NY which was built before the Revolution. It had hidden rooms where there are stories about hiding people in the rooms behind the fireplaces. The basement was just like this one! Wishing I could take you back there with me to explore for moar treasure!
If you’d like to come, let me know!
That's so cool. What an adventure!
your still the best chiggs another great video
Interesting and so cool...thanks for sharing....👍👍👍👍
that was cool as! I love all your adventures...
You do have a very interesting life. We're enjoying it with you. Thanks.
Underground passages are great! I used to have one at my highschool; it went sixty-ish meters across the road to the city hall. It was a lot newer, though, built around 1939. Filled in for security. It's a shame, but at least the bunker under the school was kept!
would love to see more . this is my kind of history . ty
enjoy you videos subbed 2 yrs ago I think, I think I watched all of them, keep them up
Made me think of the 'well' in Amityville Horror...lmao!!
My grandma and her sister grew up in the brick house that you showed in the beginning of the video.
Hey there Mr.Chigg, would you ever consider putting out a question as to where all your fans live? Just to show you and everyone else where we all are from. I think it would be pretty cool. I enjoy watching your videos. My two year old son runs down the hall when he hears you on the television. It's simply fascinating what different relics/ treasures we find in our own areas. My town was established by the Acadians in the 1600's. I find mostly flat buttons, tons of musket balls, and very old coins. Thanks again.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this.
I was born in Martinsburg and grew up not far from the Adams Stephens home. There are a lot of old home in that area. The first house to have electricity in Martinsburg is not far from there. Great old city that saw a lot of civil war action.
That was so cool, thank you.
Great video! We need a live stream now!
Absolutely fascinating!! what an awesome thing to be a part off!! Hope to see what they end up with!!
and the gal you were down in the hole with is one cool lady!! I bet she can work circles around most young men today!!! Thanks once again for a great learning video!!!
Great vlog!!!!!
Excellent!
There used to be a huge cave near Beddington Elementary in Martinsburg about a quarter mile off the railroad tracks on the opposite side of route 9. You can see the huge pile of dirt they used to fill it in back in the 1990's.
Super cool!
Bark alarm!!!! LOL. cool vid!!
AWESOME!
Very cool history. Be nice to see if and when they connect to the other home.
Awesome project!
I travel to Martinsburg a few times a year. I will have to go check this place out.
That hole in the bricks looked like a clean out for the fire place, I lived in a 1875 house and that was in our basement, we opened a place in the bottom of the fireplace and rake the coals into it and then when they cooled we took them outside. That room in the basement was a dirt floor.
Awesome love to see that
I love your videos they are AMAZING
This is my friends grandparents house!
Very cool adventure!
Awesome, Beau!. Could this have been part of the Underground railroad? It's literally on the tracks.
idk if anyone else did, but I paused it to read the plaque. Thank you for the literature ;D
So, out of curiosity... are you part of a historical society then? It seems pretty cool to be able to go do that type of thing. Restorations and just knowing your history like you do.
I wish my Grandmothrrs home were still in the family. Its a home that use to be an old school house. Built in 1842 in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. The new owner left the stonework as it was, but he tore the guts out and remodeled the inside.
I know YOU personally would have loved it... when my mom was a little girl she said she found indian heads nickels all over their land, and that she buried jars FULL of coins. That land hasn't been "worked over" by metal detecors that I know of, but IDK what the new owner has done.
My Grandparents use to do handmade gems, and would have geodes orbs. And he would OFTEN chuck the ones he thought "weren't hollow" into the back field.
Seriously... you would have a field day in Chester Springs.
That is actually a block away from an old indian burial ground as well. Mom brought me to it when I was about 4 years old. It was pretty, but I only remember it being behind the old library there...
And yes.... Grandmoms home IS haunted.
12:44 " I FOUND IT!" OMG!!! Someone else who says that!!! I say that alllllll the time when I'm at work. I run into a door frame, steel shelf, cardboard box... you know. Not paying attention to my surroundings... And when I do, whether anyone else is there or not, I shout "FOUND IT!!!"
That was so cool!
Idk... maybe I'm weird. But, hey. I'm not the only one now! ^_^
Have u ever talked to the new owner and let them know it used to be in ur family and see if he would give permission to detect it.
I live states away now. I'm sure eventually he may, but to me, the poor guy has enough of my relatives popping in on him monthly. They like seeing how he's renovating the home. lol. poor guy. He does alot of buisiness traveling too. Hard to catch him on a break. when he's not working, his doin' the family thing with his fiance.
Aqua, in the olden days wood could be preserved by burning it . It makes it resistant to rot and insects. It could by why that beam was burnt rather than from a fire.
You find the oldest stuff to look at and explore! If it wasn't for you I wouldn't go anywhere! Very cool!
Thanks, Beau. Very interesting video. Seems that if they took a pool noodle or two and duct tape them around the buckets, it may help keep them from getting caught up when hauling the dirt up. Something along those lines anyhow. : )
Love ur videos
Great video
So cool. So cool.
Omgomgomg I was way too inthralled with this.Note the deep crack on the first overhead slant you came to? Whyeeee did they fill it in in the 30's? Questions!Too many questions but mostly complete fascination You never,ever disappoint
I need moarrrrr
Good one.
Take a left on the tracks and you will see where the "Colonnade" R.R. bridge was at. It was destroyed during the CW and rebuilt with stone and dirt fill. The old bridge was a great design. A shame to be lost. Now for the creek, From "There" to the sewage plant may be an excellent project.
Chigg; Being a resident of the fine city of Martinsburg, I find this video very interesting. I have been to those houses but never inside.
Aquachigger I have what I think is a u.s military relic can you help me figure out what it is?
i love in princeton! i would love to see him!!
very interesting, great vid
Chigg was in my town and I didn't even know it.
Cool!
very cool!!
Wow Thanks
Toured that house last December
man... those walls look closer in the camera than I think they actually are once you're down there (first house you visit)... gives me the heebee-jeebees... I get nightmares about being trapped...
That's super cool
Hi love you man keep it up
I love you man
I live Around the Hedgesville,Martinsburg and never new about these places
Very interesting. Hoping to learn the history.
That is pretty cool.
That was cool.
That was pretty cool

Underground Railroad ? Great video :-)
there is a old house and it's not really far from you ..it's in Cumberland valley PA right before u turn into lake Gordon near Cumberland Maryland..the house would sit on your left side of route 220 coming from Maryland..the house is older than that stone house it says on the house built 1740 I believe.. check it out
