Honestly, I don't know how your videos are always such a delight to watch! Cool vacuum tube. I liked that and the pea coat button the best, although the old bricks can be really cool. Have fun, travel safe, and always remember to HOLD YER BREATH! XD
Wow! You found an ash hole! Sorry, I couldn't resist that. As a former archaeological excavation officer for a museum archaeology unit my colleagues and I got to dig out a number of cesspits and, yes, ash was usually found in them.
Hope you’re staying warm out there Chigg, it seems like this cold weather will never end! Can’t wait for the summer for more river videos! As always, you rock!
Hi from over the pond . your showed a vac tube from a tv , my Grandfather used to have a tv repair shop in Bath England during the late thirty's , when he was retired he had kept alot of the old tubes ,for tv's and radio's in his garage he would show me them and explain what they were and how the worked . Nice find , the glass still intact . Be safe going into big hole's
Neat dig! That is an early 1900's vacuum tube. The Bakelite base is broken off. Maybe still in the hole. Look for a faint number or two. But since you rubbed it to get the dirt off you may have rubbed off the numbers. LOL on the doll head!
Chiqq, It was nice meeting you at Shot Show last week. Maybe in the future we might, hit a sight or two in Ga or the keys. Keep the videos coming and stay safe...
that's not a light bulb. that is a heavy duty industrial vacuum tube. quite old I might add... ultra cool find!! lol.. you figured it out right after I posted this comment
There is a cistern under my house. The original house was built in the 1830's I think. It burned down in the late 1920's. this house was built on the original sandstone rock foundation, but more clay block foundation was added and extended over the cistern. That's why it's under the house. I peeked over the edge of it once, and it looked to be about 10 feet deep, and was indeed built like a bottle shape. Regarding the video with the well and the casing at the bottom: I lived in an old farm-house in Kansas once, which had a similar bottle-shaped cistern and at the bottom of that was a modern well.
@23:20 it is what a hairdresser would have used when perming the hair (perming curler) so you were right on it being a girly thing. and thats a walnut brown bakelite plain oval door knob, wonder if its mate was down there with the back plates?!...now that i would keep, they usually sell well, but look so cool around the home...would love to know more about the lightbulb, looks retro like an edison but thats a strange filament
Omg could this be recent??? I sure hope so. Running out of vids to watch. Y'all worked hard. Sorry it was a no-go. Kept my interest cuz I was hoping for treasure...GOLD!
The thing you found at 23:22 is a curler for giving permanents, that's a chemical process for curling your hair for a long period of time, Toni would be one of the name brands of a.permanent.
Hello! I have a quick question for anyone who detects Civil War artifacts. I plan to come down to Virginia and detect. But a concern of mine is that, if I bang my shovel in the ground, and hit a shell or cannonball, will it blow my face off? If so, how can I avoid getting my face blown off? Thanks!
The “girly thing” looked like an old perm roller my Mom used in the 60’s. Put crime scene tape around the hole with a headless child size body outline on the ground....... 😂 🤣😂
Yeah I remember taking tubes like that up to the Reads drugstore to get our TV fixed. That other girly thing is from the 50s when we used to get permanents or Toni’s.
The thing that you said was a girly thing is a hair roller. The foam is missing and the elastic band that hold the hair tight to the roller . Cool finds
That button is definitely Navy, likely from a peacoat, probably WWII era, and quite possibly made from some form of bakelite style/type plastic. That "lightbulb" isn't a lightbulb at all, it's an old vacuum tube of what appears to be either a diode or triode type.
Seeing that gritty soil full of stewbones is a great sign of household discards-sorry these weren't Civil War. That last item is a radio tube, almost for sure. The other stuff, just eyeballing it, looks 30s-40s. The bone button is sort of an outlier, seems 1890s.
Beau...that is a light bulb. Tenergy makes a newer version in that exact same shape. I own several of them. Mine are three way bulbs. They said they designed it from the antiquated version made in the 1940s.
Well at least you had a little fun . Too bad stuff wasn't a little bit older. The interior of the cistern was in great shape still. I was amazed at that.
Chigger that thing you called the girly thing that's some kind of curler used to have a rubber elastic on it my mother used to have those those are from the 60s I remember she had a bunch of those things way back when I was little hers were pink as I remember
Am I allowed to ask how safe that subterranean digging is? I can see that the walls are well cemented - but it was a bit nail nibbling watching Keith right down the hole. My favourites? The glass bulb and the buttons. The bit at the end was hail ar i us - I'm in two minds, 1. It would make a good spoof, 2. I watch these at night to relax and get to sleep due to chronic pain. Don't want nightmares. Was funny though....
Amanda Pittar we survived :) That's one of several reasons I asked Beau to join me, I wouldn't feel safe doing it alone, plus Beau digs like a badger and can remove fill a lot faster than I :) . I would say also that it's a case by case thing, looking at it up close, it seemed very stable to us. If it had been crumbling we may have approached it differently.
The thing you guys are saying is a light bulb that's an old tube from an old tube radio back in whenever they first made them kind of that's an old tube
I love all your video's, as a coin collector you inspire me to get my very first metal detector, however, there are so many kinds and lol, on a short budget do you have any suggestions under $200 for one
Heck yea! Keith is awsome. Everybodyshould check his channel out. He even found a whitworth shell. He's a long time chigg fan too. Pretty sweet. Im gonna have to make vids so i can meet my heroes. Lol
My best friend bought a historical property from the 1700s in west va. They just opened their old cistern and at first glance there is a Victorian doll in it theirs as well.... creepy lol
I love the random Neighbor walking up and being welcomed nice to see people being kind and respectful, great video
my husband did 20 years in the navy. We got married in 1979 and he had a pea coat with that very same button.
Honestly, I don't know how your videos are always such a delight to watch! Cool vacuum tube. I liked that and the pea coat button the best, although the old bricks can be really cool. Have fun, travel safe, and always remember to HOLD YER BREATH! XD
That thing in the wrap-up is not a lightbulb it's an early vacuum tube out of a radio set it's incredibly amazing that you found it intact
tarstakars Yeah it's a intact relic from the past that if people find today it looks so alien but used to be common place in alot of homes.
Missed your content! Glad your back. Hope you are feeling better!
Wow! You found an ash hole! Sorry, I couldn't resist that. As a former archaeological excavation officer for a museum archaeology unit my colleagues and I got to dig out a number of cesspits and, yes, ash was usually found in them.
Chig...nice of you to let him practice digging! !!!
Enjoyable video Beau - lots to be found on old sites like that. All the best mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Hope you’re staying warm out there Chigg, it seems like this cold weather will never end! Can’t wait for the summer for more river videos! As always, you rock!
THE LITTLE GIRL THING YOU FOUND WAS A HAIR CURLER Mr CHIGG.
yall are like two young boys digging a hole in the back yard love it reminds me of myself when i was a kid always digging holes
That vacuum tube was 20s - 30s radio tube. That's my best guess from what I could see, and the size.
That was a permanent roller for home perms.

The doll head was pretty sick gig Beau. Lol

LOL on the doll head!
Dig deeper Jimmy Hoffa might be down there
Looks a button from an old Navy peacoat.
Leo Wright even the ones the navy issue us now a days look just like that
Justin Percedal I was in during the 70's
Same as WWII US NAVY P Coat!
I agree. Could be from WWII but who knows?
i bought a peacoat last years (company: brandit), 100% the same button. just paused the video and compared it with my buttons.
I like the collaborated videos a lot. Cause the shared knowledge is really nice.
Very interesting and educational. Thanks for sharing.
Chig, that is a button off a United States Navy Pea Coat. I wore one for 20 years. One of the best foul weather jackets I ever had.
Oooooooo! A flashlight review! I would LOVE that!
That video was something different and very enjoyable. Thanks for the adventure.
Looks like an old vacuum tube for sure, great videos!
24:14 that's a transmitter "tube" from a peice of radio gear. Missing it's base.
Those large anchor buttons were on the very popular navy-style woolen pea-coats of the 1950's/1960's. (I had one when I was a kid- it was itchy!)
So exciting.ty so much AC
sounds like a good idea
Haha, love the doll head, I collect creepy babies, you made my day...lol, fun video...
Chiqq, It was nice meeting you at Shot Show last week. Maybe in the future we might, hit a sight or two in Ga or the keys. Keep the videos coming and stay safe...
Buen vídeo y buenos tesoros ahí va mi LIKE suerte en la próxima búsqueda, saludos desde España
imagine digging in your yard for a playground and then fall into a cistern that you never knew was there.
My Daughter wants to start looking for Treasures like you do . What would be a Good Set up for a Starter ? Thanks
The button is an old black anchor peacoat button, cool find but still widely available. x

The striped drinking glass is a collectible from the 50s and 60s. I love treasure hunts.
Zoe Small : I got pretty excited when I saw the striped drinking glass -- I collect those!!!
Ahhhh so the bulb could have been from an oven from that era then... thanks for this info
Moochacha-radio tube
You become younger looking with each video. How do you do that? :D keep up the digging, love your videos.
Omg could this be recent??? I sure hope so. Running out of vids to watch. Y'all worked hard. Sorry it was a no-go. Kept my interest cuz I was hoping for treasure...GOLD!
You are the American archaeologist equivalent of David Attenborough. Addicted to your channel

Keep these privy and cistern digs up. More interesting that glasses and waterlogged IPhones in the river.

Awesome and very interesting.
Loved this AC. 😻
The bulb is an old vacuum rectifier tube. An arcturus no.180 but it has the bottom cap missing where the pins are. They are from the 40s.
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT CHIGG'S ARMY ON FACEBOOK FOR MOAR!!!!!
Button from a wool Navy pea coat.
Marilyn Wilkie
You beat me to it! My Dad had one and I remember what the buttons looked like.

How many doorknobs have you found in your hunts? That one looks a lot like some that we have at the historic house I volunteer at.
That funny looking "light bulb" is an old television or radio tube. Not that I'm old enough to remember that!
That is an old vacume tube at 24:24 and it is very old
The “girly thing” looked like an old perm roller my Mom used in the 60’s. Put crime scene tape around the hole with a headless child size body outline on the ground....... 😂 🤣😂
My pea coat from the navy has those same buttons I served 2015 to 2019. Makes you wonder how long that button has been used for pea coats
Yeah I remember taking tubes like that up to the Reads drugstore to get our TV fixed. That other girly thing is from the 50s when we used to get permanents or Toni’s.
Great video chigg. Cheers from Canada
The thing that you said was a girly thing is a hair roller. The foam is missing and the elastic band that hold the hair tight to the roller . Cool finds
that "girly thing" is a piece from an old style hair roller! I forgot all about those till I saw that. my grandma used to perm her hair with them
That Navy Button looks like a Navy Wool P-Coat Button, My Brother was in the Navy in the 60;s 1960's ar ar. Very similar to the ones on his P-Coat.
I've got a schott peacoat with the same anchor buttons on it haha
hi
Aquachigger
hope filling better my friend
Girlie thing is a hair curler or part there of.
Thanks
Could someone give me some advice? I had a really old bounty hunter metal detector, but want a new, and far better model.
was that al capons vault lol
That button is definitely Navy, likely from a peacoat, probably WWII era, and quite possibly made from some form of bakelite style/type plastic. That "lightbulb" isn't a lightbulb at all, it's an old vacuum tube of what appears to be either a diode or triode type.
would like to see more of this
I am a retired Navy Chief and the big black button with the anchor on it is just like the buttons on the Pea Coats they issued us in boot camp.
Seeing that gritty soil full of stewbones is a great sign of household discards-sorry these weren't Civil War. That last item is a radio tube, almost for sure. The other stuff, just eyeballing it, looks 30s-40s. The bone button is sort of an outlier, seems 1890s.
The girly thing is a curled for home perms lol the ones my mom used to use and they had an elastic band that went across then snapped in.
Curler*
When is ur next video bub... Been missing watching them
Gotta be dug all the way to China by now. Forget the pizza, gonna be eating noodles and rice soon. Great stuff, man.
Beau...that is a light bulb. Tenergy makes a newer version in that exact same shape. I own several of them. Mine are three way bulbs. They said they designed it from the antiquated version made in the 1940s.
Well at least you had a little fun . Too bad stuff wasn't a little bit older. The interior of the cistern was in great shape still. I was amazed at that.
What about the house foundation being so close?
Chigger that thing you called the girly thing that's some kind of curler used to have a rubber elastic on it my mother used to have those those are from the 60s I remember she had a bunch of those things way back when I was little hers were pink as I remember

Can hear lots of birds in the background. Thought I heard a cardinal chirping. Anyway not bottle crazy but watched to the end. Thanks
Yo I need a flashlight that is bright af what do u suggest
The skyray king is a pretty high output light. I recommend the 3 led model as the ones with more dont really have a higher output, just less throw
SIR Goose Streamlight Poly Tac.
My best friend bought a historical property from the 1700s in west va. They just opened their old cistern and at first glance there is a Victorian doll in it theirs as well.... creepy lol
