    That bone looks like it came from a human thigh.
    I definitely agree with your theory that the mud/sediment was washed into the cave when the land was originally cleared by the first settlers.

    That cave, if properly excavated, would probably yield bones from 10,000 years ago, from the Ice Age.
    Watching Beau crawl around on that rocky ground made my elbows, knees and back hurt. I use to cave back when I was a teen ager in the 70s and it was pretty rough going then. Caving is certainly a pursuit of passion.

    One of the reasons I watch these videos (aside from the fact that Aquachigger is AWESOME) is that it helps me to confront my claustrophobia in a safe, low stress way. Knowing that I can always just pause the video or look away helps keep my anxiety low, while still forcing me to have the uncomfortable experience that triggers my claustrophobia. Bet you didn't know you're part of mental health treatment plans, did you Chigg? LOL

    The bat was very cool. Glad he wasn't disturbed enough to break hibernation.
    It's fun that you and your wife (use to?) explore together. Really enjoy your vlogs.
    I like the doodlebugging but, not many spelunkers out there have posted content as much you have and caving is much neater than gold :).
    Thanks for dragging us along. God Bless & Stay Safe

    I'll be digging deeper into Lloyd's Lair this summer , I noticed after digging out mud and sediment last year that theres a spot where rain water drains rapidly. I have discovered large bones as well as an old belt buckle burried in the sediment, since the war of 1812 came right through my back yard I'm wondering if the bones might in fact be human , perhaps even the bones of a injured soldier that may have taken shelter inside the cave and died . Spooky ! Love your videos and channel Beau , keep them coming and I'll keep on watching .

    So the cave was probably a lot more open in the 17 and 1800s? It made me nervous and claustrophobic seeing you squeeze down in there with modern powerful flashlights, ladders and other safety equipment. Can you imagine going down in there in the 1700s with only a torch light or lantern or something?

    I am curious, I know there is alot of clay there, but is the yellow stones I am seeing Yellow Jasper by chance? Also if it was possible to dig all the clay and rocks out,I wonder how deep it really is and what all animal bones are there, and if any thing like cave drawing there perhaps burried by the clay? Would make a great archeological dig !

    Thanks for showing the Bear Trap Cave again, Beau. You always say if we see something you missed to mention it, so i will. i noticed something when you were in there before with Lindsey and again this time. There may be a semi small, like a dragon of perhaps a couple hundred foot or so, in that cave.There are some rocks in there that look like dragon scales. Saw some in another area you were metal detecting too. Also during the time period of the late eighteen fifties to eighteen sixty or so, there was a mud flood that covered the earth. We have local California photos of the area of Sacramento that was covered with twenty foot of water in eighteen sixty two. Some friends of mine were allowed to go into the underground city under the city of Vallejo, Ca in the seventies and do some exploring, as they owned property in that area and the evidence was there to support the underground cities there were mud flooded. The bottom line is .... Ya just don't know what's under that dirt until ya dig it. Ya Dig It? : )

    Hey chigger, this is Bill the Desert Fox. I have found out by trial and error that if you use a red , blue or green light (some of the headlamps have them) and shine them one at a time on the names in the cave you should have no problem seeing them clearly. Also try UV aka black light. Will be starting my own channel on here within a month and will text you when I download it. Love your channel and look forward to the new ones. Keep an eye open for Desert Fox Exploring. You be safe in your travels and may your finds be many. Take care out there. Bill Fox
