I Found Me Lucky Charm: Metal Detecting

- Join me as I search out and then discover an abandoned colonial era home site to metal detect. I find an interesting half cent coin that has been modified and also uncover a really cool four leaf clover stick pin that I think dates to the early 1800's or so. I do mention another large cent coin that I found previous that I wanted to show at the end of this video, but I cannot find it at this time. Sorry.

My biggest regret is starting detecting when i was still in a bad place personally, i ended up selling almost everything i found the first year..but detecting is what brought me out of the dark place and now you have to pry my treasures from my cold dead hands before i would sell something. Love going back and seeing where it all began for me..right here with the Chigg.
Hey Chig. I am a disabled Vet who has been a recliner chair detector... Love your show. Very informative. Learning allot. Keep on diggin!
You crack me up when you ask the viewers "Do ya see it...do ya?" One of the highlights of watching your videos. Love the history you also mention. Keep on keeping on...Stay safe.
I learn more in a 40 minute video from this guy than I do in 6 months of videos from others. Thanks Aquachigger!
It's always great seeing your finds, even my 8.5 month old son is entertained the whole time. . . and I wish I lived in a metal detecting friendly place so I could find my own relics.
Actually it was great that you did not edit out your problem finding that button. We all run into this especially when new at detecting just last weekend I was teaching a friend to detect, he exclaimed "Signal disappeared "!! I told him to check the hand shovel and sure enough a dime was stuck to the back side of the shovel. He laughed saying that he never would have looked there.
Beau, Thanks for the video! Not only was it interesting, but it also was very educational. You showed us how to look for and discover an old home site that was not at all visible in the deep woods. You used the bricks to hit at an old home, approach it from the correct direction, and then apply forensics to discover different metal objects that hinted at what happen to this home and barn.. Typically, one would have just walked through the site, but you showed us how to discover good locations for metal detecting!! I will use your techniques here in California. Great job!
I feel kinda bad, even though it was so long ago, that their home burned down. Losing everything today is difficult. Losing everything back then had to have been devastating.
The coin you were referring to with the "E" replaced with the "U" is sometimes referred to as a "brothel" coin use in brothels.
Fun video! Thank you for sharing your finds... Love the shamrock brooch! Must be the Irish in me, also... Cheers, Chris
I LOVE the sound that detector makes. Its a much softer/smoother sound that the other ones you use. And since I was in a "giggly" mood while watching this video, I kept mocking the high pitched "MEH!" sound when you dug that coin thru the root. MEH! MEH! MEH!
Your "seam rubbin' got me to thinking that someone needs to design a pair of metal detecting pants! You know , something that you can rub stuff on in the thigh area so you don't have to worry about rubbing a hole .
This was an awesome video, Beau! Fantastic finds. I love that clover and hatchet, well all of it actually. That's neat that you're Irish. I'm half Irish and half German and very proud of both.
Anyway, I can't wait to see your next hunt there.
ATB and from one metal detectorist to the next, GL and HH.
aquachigger you should show us your entire collect of the items you found through the years 😁
Sean Holmes I'm pretty sure he has Sean, check out his profile
Rachel Cole I bet he had but I want to see all the recent item he has acquired
that would be about a 50 part series lol

Wow, that was an amazing hunt! You found lots of great things! Also, thanks for explaining what happens when there is a signal that disappears. This video makes me wonder what things could be in the woods around me....... A house site? Thankyou for the awesome video as usual! I really enjoyed it!
I had a signal dissapear on me once, dug it, and dug it, and a root popped up...dug around it, underneath it, took the pinpointer out...nothing.
Then I raised the pinpointer to the root....signal. Guess the root grew around/ over the object and kinda absorbed it. It was after all a site where there had been heavy fighting, and judging from the craters throughout the area - heavily bombed/ shelled. To confirm that, I started to scan the sides of the crater about five meters away....and sure enough, shrapnel everywhere... .
Legend says if you comment early you can steal hear the faint words of +aquachigger in the distance still saying "moarrrrr"
All I hear is "HOLD YOUR BREATH!!"
+sabbathz i sub on your channel
Looks like a really promising site. Can't wait to see moar!
Laundry must be an interesting chore at your house.
The brooch appears to be Victorian. Would like to see it completely cleaned.
Enjoyed watching. You were working hard for those relics. I was happy to see you recovering some of what you suspected was to be found...bravos. Looking forward to your next treasure hunt on that property.
Hey chigg , i also found a indian cent with the same thing done to it, i think it was an 1885. I Didn't think they used that term back in those days lol
Enjoyed your video as always! Very entertaining and educational! Thanks!
Me and my friend went metal detecting yesterday in a softball field yesterday and found a wheat penny and a drummer boy quarter. It was his detector and I'm planning on getting one soon.
Wow! Great site. This is like an old school Chigg hunt. The non aquatic variety I mean. I love these long videos. Oh and I didn't hold my breath even once. Big thumbs up as usual.
Sewed a patch of hook (and loop, ie. Velcro) to each thigh of my Target cargo pants. Then glue 'loop' to Dollar Store type bristle scrubbers or ? to another material suited for what you're hunting. Put the scrubber on the hooks when hunting or you can substitute anything you want, like green pad. The hook is plastic and doesn't get destroyed when washing. Just remember to pop off the 'accessories' before washing
Another reason a coin is “lost” while digging is its in the dirt piles on its edge, I’ve had this happen many times.
That's what I love about hunting. If it has personal value to the finder, it makes the trip!
Thanks from Canada eh. maybe you can hitch a ride up here with your metal machine and find some of those beer cans we
lost last weekend when we were givin er eh. cheers bud and pardy hardy.
Nice 70's door knob. Wish I had one. Trade you 7 nails I found for it? Bring extra water next time.
I have a whites Sierra Madre with two coils, the 9" and the 15" and my IDX pro. I found an old old car buried in the riverbed covered with 3 feet of dirt and gravel. WOW, I thought I hit the mother lode for sure. After I dug a considerable hole I found the car which I didn't further dig up. It was a car from the twenties or so and I broke off the brass windshield holder that holds it open for ventilation and it was as shiny as the day it was made.
Good luck on your detecting ventures.
always enjoy your land detecting videos! thanks for sharing!
Overall that was a pretty good dig, with some interesting treasures. It would be nice to learn more in terms of history, about the clover leaf charm(emerald?), and the hatchet head, etc. Bet there's much more hiding in that location. Thanks Beau, always enjoyable.
the one c nt is a real penny that's deliberate. It's old English. I had one like new. There actually not worth much but pretty cool.
From a friend that watches your detecting videos. But never knew where you do most of your detecting. Not that I want to move in on your sites . I'm not a detector I just like to watch. It's very cool what you find.
It does look like a promising spot and look forward to seeing more from that site.
Your axe collection is very interesting! Great videos!
Good thing you found that piece of jewlery
the thing I always say to myself is when my target disappears it's a mole wearing a ring around its waist because I saw it happen one time when I was digging XD
Chig, would it be possible for you to start adding clips to the very end of your video with a quick shot of the items you found after they've been properly cleaned off (like, with water)? At least the interesting items anyway. In this video I would have liked to see the clover pendant and half cent cleaned up. They look interesting, but we only get to see them still caked in mud.
The people who lived on that homesite must have been walking around with their shirts flapping in the breeze. All of their buttons fell off in the dirt!
I used to have a few of those large cent "brothel tokens" in my coin collection. I sold them on ebay a long while back. May still have one laying around somewhere.
JD's Variety Channel p
I'm surprised you sell anything...you started so young i would just keep it all, you could easily retire on your collection like Beau before it's all said and done. You're the man JD, keep your stuff buddy.
Thank you for taking us with you! Today was a very good episode, please keep them coming
I've found old homesteads by looking for yucca plants, settlers used to use them for soap and string.
See its little secrets like this I like learning..everyone else just scrolled past
love it . just got out of woods eyeballing today. 68 degrees today in New England.
Aww Chigg, you didn't post the pic of the c*nt coin.
James Goose I was waiting for it!
Was just thinking this. I wanna see it too haha
Does this mean that they literally coined the word?
Chigger rhymes with digger! I just realized that! Wow, another awesome discovery from the dirt within my mind! Sweet...
OutOfNamesToChoose LOL! Good one! That's where that saying came from! "They coined the phrase"!!
Aquachigger: Concrete isn’t that old
Ancient Romans: Bet
Matt Lee yeah, but there weren’t too many Ancient Romans in Antebellum America
Really enjoy your vlogging and sharing. I feel like I'm on an adventure every time I watch your video. As a busy bee I like escaping via your videos.
you should come on up to my town (Elmira, NY). We had a civil war prison camp near a river. To my knowledge, it has never been seriously detected. We also had a large amusement park in the early to mid 1800s which I know has never been seriously explored. I've always been of the belief that there would be lots of silver coins waiting to be found. I also have access to Mark Twain's farm which has never been detected. I know during the Civil War, several waves of the Union Army took basic training here and several regiments including the 50th NY Engineers drilled before heading south. There's also an area very near me where the federal govt. used imminent domain to removed the people from 121 farms due to bad soil. They bulldozed the houses and barns and made nation forest out of it. These farms had been there since the early 1800s straight through 1930s. I know as fact that only a handful of these farms have been explored and I know which ones have not. Also many old Indian camps none of which have been touched. Let me know if interested.
I like ur videos , but I also love when u show your collections!! so much potential. Thanks Chig ur the man!!!!
I think of you every time my husband & I watch Oak Island, they need you Chigg!
Chigg I just love your love and enthusiastic atittude. Thanks for sharing!
Another cool hunt Beau with a lot of good information. thanks for taking the time and effort to do your videos. I get the digging alone part and had George Thorogoods "I Drink Alone " song ringing in my head but with the "I Dig Alone, with Nobody Else" :) You need to get the rights LOL. Love the old home sites, We've had a few good ones in the past several months ourselves. GL and HH ....Ron
"One last video before bed"
And the next thing you know you're watching some old dude dig up buttons from the ground.
Not that it's not entertaining. Love the content!
My 7x's Great-Grandfather William Logsdon lived South of Baltimore from 1653 until the time He died. He is burried in Frederick, Maryland. William was first a slave, and then he was able to slowly accumulate land until he became a plantation owner. His plantation was called "Brotherly Love."
Guess what Chig - in Latvia you only need permission to dig/detect when you're on private property like hedged houses! So you basically go into woods and dig the crap out of em!
He is right about people scratching messages in the coins. My uncle gave me a One Cent coin with the NE scratched out said said O Cent. That was actually a hunting club over the ridge from our farm and my Uncle despised the hunting club because they were always straying onto our property scaring the game every hunting season. The following year after I came home from Boot Camp to finally hunt during my time off I got into with one of the hunting club guys. That was when my Uncle gave me that coin he said he was gonna toss on that penny on one of em after he shot em. To this day I still think he was serious.
Wow chigg this video was awesome, I love the long videos ! I can't wait to get out and do this once all the snow melts down where I am ;) Still 2 feet to go :/
Hi Chigg! If your travels ever bring you up to my neck of the woods(Massachusetts, Cape Cod), I would be happy to show you some amazing areas.....Native American areas, great places of interest, etc and can hook you up with a free place to stay. Thanks for all you do.
I enjoy your videos very much....they are full of history and you have a way of making us feel like we are there with you!
Doesn't get better than this! A long land hunt video from Beau.
Sometimes the signal will disappear because it was origonaly laying flat and when you dig it out its laying on its side and because its thin its not giving as good a signal so its best to kick the dirt around and go over it again.
Hi, Mike New Zealand, I have found that a lost signal is when a coin goes on its edge so that the signal is not reflected back to the detector. I enjoy your channel thanks.
I was metal detecting around a local campsite and found a Pepsi can from 2004
I found pull tabs from the 70's, lots of those still around. Use a discriminator and pass them over.
Loving these metal detector digging finds :D
With all the buttons you found at least you know the people wore cloths! lol
Chigg is the only one that keeps me calm on my Mondays at work... Thanks Chigg!
Hey Chiggers, hello from Ireland, loving the Vids , subscribed, you know your stuff and that's what makes your vids so interesting, it's not just what you find but it's the history of the places and the finds.You've definitely got the 'gift of the gab'. Irish and proud.
Chigg ,I have not seen your " special
" one cent coin but I bet I have just like it . I'm told it's a "hard times token " .Found it at a old home site ( now a field ) in spring of 2017 . Don't know how to send you a photo .however i will try .Indiana digger , Ron Wood
WTG - I'm more than happy with finds like those - place has more potential - keep it up!
Golly, Chig, there comes a time when we all must resort to making and checking our list (s) as to what we need to bring along...gloves, batteries, moarrr water, and such... LOL! Loved the video!!!
Great, nice loooong video ... back to the basics ... loved it!
We're in the UK and just came across your videos, we wanted to let you know how much we enjoy them, especially the water ones. I wanted to ask why you call a potential body a Ricky? And when you are detecting on water or land do you need to let anyone know about your finds? Local archaeology groups or museums? Do you need to share the finds with the land owner?
Total teaser....no picture of the coin that was rubbed off lettering....I think he is teasing us! lol. great video....I knew those darn fox's would re-dig my holes! Good info on the disappearing signals as well....great video
Xombie
Lol...awesome man...thanks for posting that...I love the inflation comment....priceless
No problem! I was curious too, lol.
Irish decent..... Well you definitely have the gift of the gab ! 😁😘😘 Love your videos. Xx
:8:15 this is a great example of what happens to me at times .. with signals .. thanks so much for explaining what can happen to a signal or phantom signal
it was good to see a land metal detecting hunt, I enjoyed watching it..... thanks Mr aqauchigger 👍😊
I'm glad I'm not the only one that uses the pin pointer on their machine.
Hi Chigg Great video as always but how did you hit your thumb 👍
I think, I'd say the clover is 30's-50's its not 60's and its not 20's so between the 30's and 50's. Great find, I'd say the stone is a small piece of jade. Makes me happy!! Keep @ it and HH !!
soLdered not sodered
104 F here last Saturday wish you were here.
Time to get a DJi Mavic, a foldable drone to look at the terrain around your sites.
do property owners ever ask what you found. if so do they ever try to keep your finds?
alex .c they ask if they can have whatever amount you find. before you metal detect
I wonder also. Do they ever just snatch up what you find. Or does the average MD'er lye and say I found nothing.
alex .c majority of my permissions never ask for what I find, very few do.
I think you found the button farm. Can't recall you ever finding so many at one time. I miss these type of digs. You get to get a bit of history as you go along.
Best find was the four leaf clover. I actually ran into someone who didn't know what a four leaf clover was.
EARTH ANGEL😇. THIS looks like a great spot and quite a find! ALL those interesting little relics! Does the little piece of jewelry have any markings? MUST be lots more stuff just awaiting!! THE little axe head ( hatchet) looks like one from the late 17th century. Great video!👍😯
Another fun hunt, Beau! Love em
Looking forward to seeing that coin in an upcoming video. Thanks!
Gloves...hmmm... but the thumb is looking much better! I'm diggin' (see what I did there?) the big old property permission! Nice video!
Hey Chigg, tx for the long & lucky charm video just in time for my birthday🍀🎈
That first hole seems off center if where the signal was! The signal seemed to be more over back right side of hole you dug
This is one of your better videos in awhile, enjoyed it, thanks
Sweet....what a haul.
Its really fun to think that some of these items have been in the ground for 240 years ...I wonder what the oldest item he's ever found was.
great video the longer the better,as long as it doesn't go for more than three or four days thanks chigg
Hatchet head peaks my interest as an axe collector! Great video!
Things to bring on next detecting trip: 1) Extra batteries, 2) Extra Water, 3) Energy bars/Caffeine... ;) ;) ;)
Your lucky charm would be pretty with a new clasp attached for wearing!
OMG CHIG I WANT THAT CROSS SO BAD ITS BEAUTIFUL
Some nice finds Chigg the stone is probably an Emerald very nice
hey, that half cent at the beginning actually had the f in half scratched out too so it actually spelled halie
I get just as excited for your finds as you do
