I can believe you found a crystal skull this far up in North America. The implications of the Incas trading routes extending this far north is an monumental find for history books. Thank you AquaChigger! You are amazing!
thanks for the post- that was fun! You were KILLING me when you had the blue jar on screen and you just kept digging; so relieved you pulled it out of the pile!
This was a good getting down to reality about metal detecting, sometime you gotta mix it up because there just isn't much good to dig. I like how you don't just shut off the camera and go home. If one thing isn't working you just shift to looking for old dumps if that doesn't pan out you look for sinkholes or caves. That's what I call the ability to multi-task Chigg. You are always keeping an eagle eye out for other things while you are metal detecting and telling us all kinds of interesting pointers. Thanks a million. When the snow gets too deep this winter to get out digging or detecting, I think a visit or two to some of the Civil War Museums close to you would be great, especially if they would let you video so we could tag along. I know for myself one of the most memorable things I have ever done, is when my hubby and I visited, General Sweeny's Museum of Civil War History, (since renamed, The Wilson's Creek Civil War Museum), near Springfield, Missouri. Even tho it was clear back in the 1980's I have never forgotten the experience, it was very moving, as well as educational. Since I live out in the Pacific Northwest there aren't Civil War battlefield related museums here. I can't think of anything nicer than to have you visit a museum, show us the displays, and tell us about the pieces you see and how they relate to what we have been seeing you dig out of the fields and rivers these past few years. You have shown us a lot, from buckles to horse-shoes, to you name it, and I would like to see things like them on display in a museum. Like the entire ammunition box with its plates, as well as other items in their entirety, to get a better picture of what these things looked like in their proper place, and how they were used before they wound up in the ground in bits, where you find them with your metal detector. I don't know if you have the time to take the trouble, but it sure would be interesting if you could.
hey chigg, that piece of iron you found lying on the ground in the begging of your video that you put by a tree because it was to big to take is what i believe to be a trailer hitch receiver that go in back of a tractor the holes are where the hitch pins go . thanks for the video loved it.
Yep I’ve churned many gallons of milk to make butter at my granny’s. I miss them days so bad. Great times back then. I’d love to have my granny’s old butter churn.
Hello! I was always into history of all sorts and your videos help push me to find something new and exciting locally every day! I live in Johnstown and there is old stuff buried from the 1889 flood everywhere in the woods
There was a really old mill near me, mid 1600s, that was still functioning until the early 1900s. The last owners mansion was burnt down in the 90s, but I found where they used to dump and found a ton of stuff from early/ mid 1900s. Now I'm thinking I should go back and dig deeper. Alot of history to this place, including a documented order from George Washington to dismantle the mill in case the British took it over. The dump is a little upstream from the mill, so not on protected land, it's in a public park.
Hi Beau, this place just looks tremendous... Caught me right on time again my friend... Catch up after the vid. Thanks for the bring along this evening but boy is that one sterile tract of land! You got to check them all, those boys camped everywhere and anywhere! Keep on hunting Peace Charlie UK 🇬🇧
Whistle was an orange soda made by the Vess Bottling company in St. Louis Missouri starting in 1916. Every kid growing up in St. Louis drank Vess. I put away my share back in the day.
Still interesting video. Your exploration keeps the viewing following in hopes that a discovery will be made. Fingers were crossed but no such luck. Best of luck on your next hunt for treasure.
The porcelain Mason jar covers are what they collect. Don't know much about it. Lindsay could make a house decoration haha Or make a boar and use the tasks you found. Another good video thank you sir. I have that larger blue bottle.
James-, yes your right. I knew that gold and other metals were used in the making of colored glass and again you're correct about cobalt being the coloring agent for cobalt blue glass. I guess I should have checked this out more thoroughly before making my comment. My bad but thanks for the correction. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you. 😊
Chigg, yes you usually find quite a bit so I guess it makes up for when you don't find enough. Better hunting possibility next time let's hope! Shoe buckle looks colonial. Nice find.
@@uniservo thank you for that reply. You have helped me to learn something new.my oldest brother was a master electrician.he told me sometime back what those were for because when I took one with me to visit him he explain to me what they were but he didn't tell me about the age of them I have a small bucket full of them. I just put them out in rummage sales.
Hey chigg listen this is just my 2 cents i may be alone with this but here goes, i would rather watch along seeing what your doing unsuccessful than to be flipped on and off unsuccessful. Another words im well aware that your not going to find stuff every time or every location no matter the initial thoughts or hopes. I watching good or bad like your work. Like i said my 2 cents.
Cool video glad you took us with you and prowl around man I wish I lived in that neck of the woods! You must have a cool wife to let you gr8 prowling and prospecting around I'll catch you next one brocephus! Later
Very interesting video. To me the glass price at 12 minutes is an insulated for a radio. That coupled with th large battery core and copper wire; indicates a battery powered radio, hence a house without electric. Such radio could date from 1920 to 1940. The hog tusks could date to as late as when Mast disappeared from forests. Hogs with tusks should mot be kept in close confinement. Somewhere there is s house site. Just guessing.
Gotta love the boars tusks, but sure glad I didn't meet that fella in the woods when he was alive and carry those suckers in his mouth. HOLY COW they looked nasty. HUGE! I've got some from a boars skull I found while living in Hawaii, but they don't even come close to the size of those buggers. WOW!
The lump of iron with the bolt looks like a railway (road!) fish-plate, the bit that holds the ends of two rails together. - - chisel thingy = paint/wallpaper scraper? - - Anyway, we now know what Chig really is - he's a Walrus in disguise! :-P
Hey Chig. I had an idea. When u detect a big open field like that use flags to mark the signals then film the digging. I feel like you would save time that way.
I did not get a real good look at the chisel like thingy at 11:40 but it sure looked like it could be a thresher cylinder tooth from an old threshing machine. Right size and shape.
How do those 4" trenching shovels work for metal detecting.? Looks like they work great for dump digging, but I'm wondering how well they work for detecting in fields?
What causes the sink holes? I just remember the guy that was sleeping in his house and he was caught in a sinkhole took his bed and him. He was never found. Weird
Just a little appreciation. Thanks, Beau.
I appreciate that, thanks for watching!
I can believe you found a crystal skull this far up in North America. The implications of the Incas trading routes extending this far north is an monumental find for history books. Thank you AquaChigger! You are amazing!
Nice blue jars. Blue is one of my favorite colors along with black.
Congrats on 1 million and happy holidays!!!!!!!!
thanks for the post- that was fun! You were KILLING me when you had the blue jar on screen and you just kept digging; so relieved you pulled it out of the pile!
I do enjoy the exploring u do ,keep the videos coming .Thanks for sharing
Another fun episode! Thanks Beau!
I grew up on a dairy farm but never seen milk bottles like that,very cool
Anytime one can get dirty is a good day. Thanks for taking us along.
Another great video, thank you for sharing. Happy Hunting.
I can tell im going to love this video, classic chigg!
Loved all of your videos . Happy Christmas and a Happy New year to you and your family ... from Sooty and Friends based in the UK.
My favorite line, " it would be impossible....unless I REALLY wanted to get in there"
No matter good or bad a Chigg video always = a good video :)

33 minutes of Chiggin and Diggin!! Thanks !!
Always happy to hang with Chigg, stuck at home with CV19 self isolating cos 'I'm old grateful for the distraction.
hey chigg, that piece of iron you found lying on the ground in the begging of your video that you put by a tree because it was to big to take is what i believe to be a trailer hitch receiver that go in back of a tractor the holes are where the hitch pins go . thanks for the video loved it.

I love going detecting with you even if the finds are scarce! I freakin love the blue bottles!!
Merry Christmas Chig and all the best to you and yours in the coming New Year.

Love The Video Aquachigger!!!!!!! Stay awesome my friend
I loveeeeee bottle digging

Hi Beau, this place just looks tremendous...
Caught me right on time again my friend...
Catch up after the vid.
Thanks for the bring along this evening but boy is that one sterile tract of land!
You got to check them all, those boys camped everywhere and anywhere!
Keep on hunting
Peace

Just got ace 400. Learning. Can't wait to see what the future calls. But thanks for sharing .
Man you're videos are awesome!! Keep it up man!

nice boar tusks buddy, I did like that bottle...sweet.
Thank you for the bottle digging hack of the day. LOL :)
too much fun in Europe! we like to see decomp!
Thanks guy. I whatch from Brazil
The porcelain Mason jar covers are what they collect. Don't know much about it. Lindsay could make a house decoration haha Or make a boar and use the tasks you found. Another good video thank you sir. I have that larger blue bottle.
Daily bottle digging life hacks? Yes, please.
Well done! Thanks for that! Rox
Keep the videos coming!
"momma chigg wont be happy"
I died
Yes, most definitely save the cobalt blue bottles. I believe gold was used to make the cobalt blue color. Maybe that's why they are so collectible. 😊
James-, yes your right. I knew that gold and other metals were used in the making of colored glass and again you're correct about cobalt being the coloring agent for cobalt blue glass. I guess I should have checked this out more thoroughly before making my comment. My bad but thanks for the correction. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you. 😊
Love your videos man!!! Thank you for sharing!! 👍
Yeah be sure to go back lots of interesting stuff. There’s some good stuff there I say just got to dig it up ground hog.
GLOVES!!! DUDE!!
Merry Christmas!
thank for sharing
Chigg, yes you usually find quite a bit so I guess it makes up for when you don't find enough. Better hunting possibility next time let's hope! Shoe buckle looks colonial. Nice find.
Happy Days when I see your notification come up on my mobile
Yeah some people collect the old mason jar lids. I’ve got a few put up
At 12 minutes that piece of glass with a loop on the end of it is a glass insulator for electrical wiring.
More specifically, mainly for radio use. These were used on long wire antenna wires back in the 1920s and 1930s.
@@uniservo thank you for that reply. You have helped me to learn something new.my oldest brother was a master electrician.he told me sometime back what those were for because when I took one with me to visit him he explain to me what they were but he didn't tell me about the age of them I have a small bucket full of them.

No it’s not I know I have been to the future and back
We'll keep hangin Chigg!!
Perfect day 💚
Hey Chigg! Interesting finds. Hope that you and you're family have a merry Christmas 😁
lonesome chigg sometimes we get skunked good to see your li,keep the fathke the rest of us relic hunters
Hey chigg listen this is just my 2 cents i may be alone with this but here goes, i would rather watch along seeing what your doing unsuccessful than to be flipped on and off unsuccessful. Another words im well aware that your not going to find stuff every time or every location no matter the initial thoughts or hopes. I watching good or bad like your work. Like i said my 2 cents.
I'll second I'd watch a hour of uncut over 15 mins of chopped up vids
I love how chigg talks to us like we're one of his children there with him.
Yessss perfect timing chigg. I was out of good videos to watch.
Love the way you pronounce bottle .
Just found my first 2 wheaties!!
You made a good video. I don't like to see junk jards in the forrests. You dig a big hole and I'm glad that you hadn't been among the sharks :) 👍
Another great groundhog noodling opportunity lost.
Pretty good cutters.
Cool video glad you took us with you and prowl around man I wish I lived in that neck of the woods! You must have a cool wife to let you gr8 prowling and prospecting around I'll catch you next one brocephus! Later
I'm still here and as long as the chig post videos I'll be here lol.
Hunting is an action verb. "Sitting for deer" is a more correct term :)
Whistle bottling was in washington state, tacoma, under the camarano brothers. Some info for ya chigg.
Hey Winter is here come back to Arizona where all the spanish treasure is waiting to be found. hahaha. Yavapai/ Maricopa County Chig!
The mason jar cap that you tapped and said wasn't zinc, was a Presto brand cap made out of aluminium.
Very interesting video. To me the glass price at 12 minutes is an insulated for a radio.

digging through old stuff its like opening up time capsules. cant learn lots.
Chigg my man!!!!
This made me laugh!
Gotta love the boars tusks, but sure glad I didn't meet that fella in the woods when he was alive and carry those suckers in his mouth. HOLY COW they looked nasty. HUGE! I've got some from a boars skull I found while living in Hawaii, but they don't even come close to the size of those buggers. WOW!
Always love your adventures Chigg and some awesome places to search.

Old codger Chigg forgot that he used to tell people to wear gloves to protect their hands.
At 11:35 looks like a part of knob and Tube wiring which would date from 1880 to 1930
That’s a Chigger cam lolllllllll looking for the sams Squinch
yes another great video
The lump of iron with the bolt looks like a railway (road!) fish-plate, the bit that holds the ends of two rails together. - - chisel thingy = paint/wallpaper scraper? - - Anyway, we now know what Chig really is - he's a Walrus in disguise! :-P
That was interesting!
Keep looking.
Hey Chig. I had an idea. When u detect a big open field like that use flags to mark the signals then film the digging. I feel like you would save time that way.
Surface iron looked like pull bar off back of tractor to me.
Chigg !!!! Are you sure those aren't rib Bone's !!!! 🐗
Don't worry about editing it's still a great video. I'm just waiting for you to find dinosaur bones! Xxxx
That pot looked to me to be an enamel chamber pot. I found a white one that looks like it. Notice the wide rim.
I did not get a real good look at the chisel like thingy at 11:40 but it sure looked like it could be a thresher cylinder tooth from an old threshing machine. Right size and shape.
When you’re having terrible luck that just means that when you do get lucky it will be all that much better. Hope that helps…
Surprised didn't hit the spoils of the hole with the detector.
That seems hygienic
How do those 4" trenching shovels work for metal detecting.? Looks like they work great for dump digging, but I'm wondering how well they work for detecting in fields?
you the man chigg!
Looks like they done more drinking than farming or hunting.
Someday you are going to put us down a hole and we will be face to face with a critter.. Looking forward to that day :)
When you drop a rock into a hole to see if anyone is home, how often do you get an annoyed occupant come up to say "Hey..."?
George Groundhog or Bugs Bunny
I would like the blue bottle that was in your right hand...the bigger one not the vicks jar please!
THANX FOR THE BLACK EYE 19:23 LOL
I like how you find all these caves that farmers filled in. It's like the general attitude is:
"Me find hole, me fill in hole, hole no longer"
JD's Variety Channel They fill in the holes for their livestock wont fall into it
What causes the sink holes? I just remember the guy that was sleeping in his house and he was caught in a sinkhole took his bed and him. He was never found. Weird
