Harvesting Silver Coins From The Crack
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Ever harvested coins, even silver coins, from a deep crack in solid granet all the while racing against time as the tide is coming in fast and furious??? Whelp... if not, here is you chance to see what it is like. Please join me, Billy and Thor as we go metal detecting and then discover a giant crack in the granite rock that once served as an accessway to the wild and rough tidal open ocean water and where apparently many things were lost or thrown away, including silver coins!
If you ever journey up to Down East Maine and get the chance, check out Billy and his Real Estate business. He can be found at www.BoldCoastPropertiesllc.com. He will hook you up too!

Those coins are probably the pocket change from the last guy that got stuck in that crevice.😊
😂😂😂
Gotta love dark comedy! 🤣
Didn't get out before the tide came in...
No coin is worth drowning for. 😁
Hahahahahaha
3:22 engine crank shaft
3:54 3 large pipe fittings
4:06 winch parts?
4:11 buoy for crab pots
14:33 part of a door latch
17:15 some kind of crank shaft.
17:59 handle off metal bucket or tub
25:19 battery plate
Huh? Lol
@@williamvanderpol7193 how are you confused?!
So, I did some e-digging, and those grates and buttons are a type of battery plate. Here's a small list of what I've collected:
1. That plate design is called the "Manchester Positive". It is the positive electrode in this style of battery.
2. The grid is a lead antimony alloy, and the "buttons" are rolls of pure lead. The rolls form a build-up of lead-peroxide. The grate does not, because the antimony protects the it. This keeps the grate from deteriorating.
3. The positive and negative plates were separated with wood inserts. At one point, these battery cells were housed in open glass jars.
4. They were used for various things, including cars.
One source of several I found is a book from 1923, by Charles W. T. Stuart, called "Car Lighting by Electricity".
It's on Google Books for free if you want to look, and there are several other good reads on the topic as well.
Great research.. Thanks
Thanks, it seems they were used in Australian submarines back then.
Cool! 👍👍
Can’t WAIT until you go back there a Chigg! I’ll bet there’s soooo many artifacts and treasure wedged amongst all those cracks and crevasses.... Great video! Please do another?
There's a lot of crap in there too.
Could not agree more! You have to go back and bring a bucket, right tools, sifter and make it an hour+ video!!
Yes Chigg!!!!
That place has more cracks than a plumbers convention!
Lol
🤣
😂
😅
You were making me wicked nervous, I was really enjoying knowing how fast the tide comes in Down East.... I can honestly say that metal detecting videos have never made my heart race... Until now. Great job Chigg
Now I'm going to have nightmares about Chigg getting his
foot stuck and having to chop it off with a rusted file before
the tide comes in.
I hate it when that happens.
No doubt he would forget his rusty file in the chigmobile.
But when the next explorer found his bones and said "Are the hooooman???", they would be right and the planets will line up again. But not to worry, he know how to "hold his breath".
“127 seconds”
😃😄😅
Thank you for taking us on your adventures with you Beau! My jealously level is 100%
I have lived in Maine my whole life and no way would I go down into that crack! Lol you are so brave. Gorgeous spot you were at!
8:09 how to catch a chigg. round shiny objects jammed in a crack
Chiggers are a thing but this is hilarious.
I'm honestly a little mindblown that there's copper there. Just south og there-- mid-coast, the water totally eats copper. The 'coins' and spoon bits I've found were just like lace. Brass holds up better, it seems. Amazing treasure hunt!
One thing I have learned over many years of watching you Chigg, is look where "nothing would be" And a lot of times it will be there. Thank you for so very much great info over the years!! I have found where you said.
Hi from Greece.I love Metal Detecting.Thank You for your videos!
First time here, just saw your 3rd AD Patch! Echo/HHC Company, 4-18 INF, 2nd Brigade, 3AD. 1989 to 1991. Thanks for your service!
One of the more intriguing (and unprepared) vids I've seen this week. That juxtaposition works, and is kinda refreshing.
been watching your stuff for a few months now. i live in the woods of Maine, i`ve been detecting some old cellar holes on routes that have been used for a couple hundred years. great fun and exercise, lol. good stuff, Chigg, thanks for the fun, ive learned a lot watching you
The large plate at the end, is a backwash plate inside a kahooter valve found in turn of the century trawlers use in fish oil production. May all my future children be born naked if I'm wrong!
As a midwesterner, we have the most bland accents, or basically none. Northeastern accents are so awesome!
And see I've always imagined most folks from the Midwest sounding like Edie McClurg with that overly cheery, nothing phases them accent. Oh you betcha.
Please come back and get the coins
"A nutha booall"
I don't think chigg has EVER been prepared with the right equipment he needs when he goes on a dig. Ever.
Awesome video Chigg. Just came in from a L O N G rough day and this is just what I needed. Well, and those 2 cold beers too!!
I like how chigg gets laser- focused when he finds stuff
The Triton balloon is my brothers who lives in Cutler Maine!!
Tides are dangerous to take for granted. You would have seen that while staying in the cottage . Stay safe! Be aware! Nice explore
Looking forward to seeing you go back in the crack to get those coins!
14:30 - on the bottom of the screen, just right of center is a coin. I would love to explore that island. Thanks for taking us along.
It looks more like a brass door lock key. Also he immediately picked up a piece of door hardware.
Hellloooo when you dropped that big piece of melted lead it rang like silver take that to be checked 👍👍👍👍👍👍
KINN, That would be a really sneaky way to hide a hunk of silver, eh?
Cant remember led ringing like that... Ummm could be tin but yes not led i would say. Also the color looks much like stained silver.
zinc....see it every day all day.
That was awesome... you have got to go back there armed with a railroad bar, pliers and dynamite if need be :P
😂😂😂 @ dynamite 😂😂😂
One of your better episodes, very entertaining.
The lead lump looks like a zinc annode off a boat sounded to tinny to be lead.
Yeah as soon as he dropped it it didn't sound like lead, zinc is more likely
haahahah thats a crab comb. a comb fer crabs ?lmao classic. loved it man. nice silver
Now if I weren't frightened of getting caught in there and not noticing the tide coming in; I'd be all about checking that area 😃
Beau ! What You NEED is a Spider Monkey. Send him in with a pair of forceps to retrieve the coins in the crack !
You may have to get the Organ playing to encourage him, but a perfect solution !
Go back go back go back go back go back go back go back go back hey chigg go back please mate
Love this sort of treasure hunt
Yes go back Chigg be safe out there and GOD BLESS you and your family buddy Amen 🙏
Engine flywheels , startermotor and crankshaft , How strange. cheers great clip.
All sorts of whatchamacallits and doodads and thingymabobs to keep the Chigg fascinated for hours! Awesome!!! Mike in sunny Florida
Stuck between a rock and a hard place for sure. That trip wore me out. When you were squeezing through the cracks and crevices, I was all tense and even holding my breath.
There are a ton of large engine parts in there, which is weird... right? Flywheels(when you said "big gear!"), crankshafts, etc.
The large lead plate and the other large lead objects are from big lead acid storage batteries. I recognize them as I worked in the battery recycling business for 15 years and have seen them often also It's kind of a mystery as to why all those battery parts would be down in that crevice. There was a crank from a hit and miss engine and a couple of engine flywheels near there also.
Love watching Captain Billy !
Awesome! You have to go back and take us with you!! I bet there are LOTS more coins to be found! Bring a backpack with needle nose pliers, hammer, and screwdriver, and GLOVES. You can always leave it up top,. At least it will be close.
chiggs in a candy store down there in that crack! Can't wait to see you come back!
✊️✊️ Another awesome episode ✊️✊️ Thank you for sharing with us. Happy Hunting Everyone 🤗
I'm from Maine!! I love watching your videos. I love treasure hunting too. Im so happy to see you up here in Maine. Funny I new it was Maine before even reading to see if it was. We have unmistakable land scape up here.
Chigg definitely go back. That place is so cool.
This video caused a dream after watching it of scratching around and uncovering a piece of flat sea shell that was black on one side. On that side was a detailed etching of a pastoral scene of people sitting on a rock in ancient robes. It could only be seen by turning it at certain angle like a hologram on paper currency!
I can't wait to see what you fund!! Even the old nails are cool. I can't wait for you to go back!
17:23 steam engine crank shaft.
I thought it mightve been part of an internal combustion engine definitely a crankshaft tjough
Lots of cool stuff in that crevice!
This begs the question. Is there treasure everywhere Beau goes, or does Beau only go where there's treasure? 🤔
Yes Chigg please go back. Great adventure.
A two foot pry bar to move the wedged in rocks, a sponge to suck up the water so you can see what's hiding in the small puddles and needle nose pliers. There are needle nose pliers that are about a foot long. Wrap masking tape around each jaw so you won't scratch a coin.
During the season change the American Aqua chigger moves to coastal areas to forage .Not often do we see a Aqua chigger this far from his freshwater home
You are so cute when you are excited Chigg xx
This is the best ever video. Please go back and get the gold dubloons and ruby rings and the Cyclops eyeball and pirates peg leg and his big gold ear hoop. Thank you for all your wonderful adventures. Be careful in THE PIRATE CRACK!
In the last crevis when you found the coin the brass bullet shaped things are oxy acetylene cutting nozzles
Aw, it's not coming in that fast...but that big wave from the tanker is -Glug, glug! A coin for Davy Jone's Locker.
Pretty Awesome! I hope you go back and get those coins!! I'd love to see that.
Interesting video. I have many cousins living in Maine that are lobster fishermen so any videos from there is very interesting to me. Enjoyed watching.
Chigg! please go back to this place again! it is such a cool place, with coins!
Awesome metal wachamacallit beach treasures! Looking forward to tomorrow's trip back there.
man - that looks dangerous going down that crack...i would have never gone down there
There's nothing better than firckling amongst rock pools 😍😍😍
The crack is calling you back Chigg, you know you gotta go. This was fun, I bet you wished you'd found that crack sooner so you could have spent more time in it. What a cool jumble of things. Don't get stuck in there ya hear?! Have a great day!
YOU NEED TO WEAR GLOVES WHEN DIGGING AROUND SHARP, RUSTY IRON.
AWESOME VIDEO!!!
PART TWO SHOULD BE FASCINATING! 👍
That's what I was thinking
Chig I would be happy to see you go back there and I would love to see what you dig out. There’s no telling what might come out of there
Upside down seagulls? "Nothing worth sh**ing on!" ;)
Well u go back with right tools. I found u made it an interesting little adventure. Don't be alone, stay safe. Good luck.
That flat plate thing at 25:16 with all the little round things in it is a "vintage positive battery plate". From old Farm Lighting Batteries.
Great adventure again Mr chiggs and go back n get all the treasure 😜👍
" Is that a bomb ?! " " Grabs it "
My Mom use to work for Best Lock cool. Thanks for sharing continue to see what's in the rocks.
Nice video Chigg. VERY interesting location for sure! Stay safe. GL&HH!
Need tweezers that have rubber insert or lined that could grip those coins
Chigg you absolutely have to get back to the crack, who knows what’s in there. Be quick before Billypete cleans it all out!
The bittersweet...the Chigg finally found his gold coins...got his foot stuck in the rocks...the tide came in...and he drown-ded. RIP Chigg.
OH !!!!
He dieded
And his last words were "Hold your breath! "
@@marymisdom3955 😁
That isn't nice to say
I found this hat that said Auquachigger, headphones, bones and a gold coin. How much is the coin worth?
Bryan, “The United States' official gold bullion coin, the Gold American Eagle, was first released in 1986. Today, it comes in tenth-ounce, quarter-ounce, half-ounce, and one-ounce forms. The one-ounce is the most valuable, carrying a nominal face value of $50 and comprising 91.67 percent fine gold.” Some gold coins can come into about $1,000 to $20. Those are not my words and I don’t know this for a fact. Just do some research to be sure. If you google, “ *where you are from* gold coin worth.” Something should pop up. Just make sure that I don’t know of this stuff. I DON’T KNOW THIS STUFF FOR A FACT USE GOOGLE IF YOU HAVE TO.
-some random guy THAT YOU SHOULD NOT TRUST DO YOUR OWN RESWAERCHHHHHHHHYYDBDYFUBDHXBQNAA!!!!
Not worth much, if you keep hat, phones and bones, because it's bent and worn. Worth 1,08 million, if you sell the whole set to poor chiggs subscribers.
Ok chigg, watched it twice now. It's time to go an get all those gold,silver, an copper coins. An all that pirate treasure thats waiting to be discovered by you guys. 😁👍👍
I love the story associated with that coin. Adds so much more value than the true worth of the coin.
Those big "gears" you pointed out were actually flywheels off of some kind of engine. If you look close by there was a crankshaft probably out of the same motor
Your a true thrill seeker..
I was worried the water was coming up and sweeping you away...🤔😱😉🥰
Needed a set of mechanics hemostats for that job.
Why so many lobster combs? Lobsters don't even have hair! 😂
Yeah, I was wondering that myself, what the heck is a lobster/ crab comb?? 🦀
That's exactly, why they always throw these useless combs away.
I am loving the accent.....and missing it.....I’m in Virginia now but Maine is my home...you can take the girl out of Maine but you can’t take Maine out of the girl ...how true
Extreme crevicing. Nice interesting finds and can't wait to see the followup.👍😉💛
I loved metal detecting in maine when I went there on vacation, The ocean water and rocks wernt too nice to the coins, but there is plenty of old history to be found there!
Wow Beau that was one exciting adventure. You definitely need to go back there and get those coins and whatever else is down there.Thanks for taking us along with you. I really enjoyed watching. Be safe😁
Omg i held my breath with you climbing in that crack
Amazing how much stuff one can find in their crack! You should always keep your crack clean! Cool finds!
I think the plate at the end is like a heat exchanger or something from a steam engine maybe
I love these tall tales they tell in Maine. Haha
New England is a great place for history!
That tide splashed right behind you😂
What a cool place!
Ya! Grab that buoy. Would come in handy for marking the spot where it is good to anchor or moor your boat. 😉
A flathead screwdriver would have been handy eh? 😁. A magnet would clear out a lot of stuff if you had one?
Good Lord! I could not have gone through there, my hips would be killing me! 😆
Yup - wear gloves! LOL! 😁
It sure was interesting to see what had collected in that crevice.
Yes! Go back there! 😁👍🏻
Use taped on the ends of a needle nose pliers,they make long ones too!
Glad to see you having a great time getting stuck in a gut in the great state of Maine!
Very COOL! Loved your stuff that you found in the crack.
I worry about you. Go get some test down. Make sure that your heart is okay! Please!
Love you & your videos! Thanks!
❤️❤️ sorry I can't watch this one I'm claustrophobic 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 I can't breath 😂😂😂😂😂
What a cool spot to treasure hunt...please keep looking on our behalf!😃
Love your excitement.
I carry a Leatherman Wave on my belt whenever I am out and I use it a lot. I think you should wear one as well! You have your Finds Bag on you, why don't you have a pair of gloves permanently in the bottom? I bet the light was powered by batteries at some time and a lot of those pieces of lead and copper are part of them, probably that plate of 'needle bearings' as well. When they were finished with them, they just dumped them in the nearest hole.
