- Please join us as we explore an old home foundation in search of revealing the mystery of who may have lived there. We suspect that it may be the long-lost homesite of a famous Revolutionary War General and we metal detect and dig a little around the foundation in an attempt to determine the approximate date the home was built and subsequently occupied. After a full day of poking around, we determine that it would require more investigation.

@12:28 It's a type of garden hoe. My grandfather had one just like it for separating potatoes from the rest of the plant's roots.
I was thinking the same, thing my great grandmother had one like that and she said her parents had it before she was even born.
I almost disagree it might be a hoe > < But my grandfather had a similar looking tool that had the center shank driven into a 4X4 with the prongs sticking out to catch the heel of your boot - shoe to help remove them without bending over. the flat side was for your other boot to hold it down .
My father used one to. He and I both.. He taught me.
Originally created in 1780 in England, the Blue Willow pattern has become one of the most popular patterns in the world, gracing the tables of everyone from British aristocrats to everyday Americans. In fact, the term "Blue Plate Special" comes from the Blue Willow plates commonly used in restaurants and diners back in the 1920s thru the 1950s.
Omg 💕 your first permission with Todd! Awesomeness
Might have just been an in the field jumble, but a thimble is used to protect your finger and PUSH the needle through, not to protect your finger from the needle coming through and hitting your finger. Also the divots or dimples help the eye of the needle to set in the pit to ease pushing the needle through tougher material vs slipping off of a smooth surface. Think trying to push a large needle through leather or burlap.
I think that tin item at the end with the letters in it was a stencil for marking barrel top and bags and bales.
👍great day chigger enjoy the video see you on the next episode stay blessed
Dear Beau you are starting to do the Time Team thing. Digging test pits over foundations and interesting anomalies for artefacts to date the site by layered finds. Just be careful, you are becoming an archeologist- you always seem to know what you find - a tiny piece of metal? Part of a Crotal Bell .... a small piece of lead? A civil war bullet. I’m in awe. That well was both amazing and terrifying. Time to send the camera down! Haven’t done that in a while... can’t wait.
Nice walk about and some nice finds hope you go back to the well soon 👍🙏
At 31:30, where you found the washer, there is a possible coin a couple of inches above your left hand in the picture.
Hardened shovel tip...awsome educational content.
I learned something today! Thanx
This was a great metal detecting adventure!

Aquachigger if your ever in New Jersey please contact me because I’d love to show you some cool spots
Beau could you guys go back and make a cover for that well. I fell down one once and thank God I could climb out.
jon lennon he and I discussed it. I will do it soon.
The log goes between a door and a window or section of that nature .
Copper coin at 16:56
I actually spotted the wee penny before the chigg I’m well chuffed haha 😆
Couldn't imagine just how much different types of civil war artifacts you would of found if you only had a week or two just metal detecting on that property. Great Work 👍 🇺🇸
The log is part of the top door jam
Listening to you read "the lay of the land", explain how the topography leads you to explore certain areas, and more. The kind of stuff that got us hooked on Aquachigger to begin with.
Enjoyed the video Chigg. Love the old stuff before 1800. I thought it was a wrench to.
The thimble is not really for protection against pin pricks per se, else you'd wear one on each finger. It is for pushing the needle through the fabric. With the threaded end resting in one of the little divots you can push the needle through the fabric without the threaded end impaling your finger.
Another great episode. Thank you for sharing with us. Happy Hunting.
You guys became fast friends! And I think that was a beaver tooth.
Love your videos. Beau. Never get tired of listening to you and cant wait to see the next treasure
That’s a old stirrup to. Man I’d like to just set down and start digging there now. Great video Chigg be safe out there and GOD BLESS you and your family buddy Amen 🙏.
The stirrup is revolutionary war era
Thank you for so many great videos as well as your consistency with them. It's appreciated more than you'll ever know Beau.
Where's your snow. Winter has already stopped me for about a month. Found a place digging wheat pennies, oldest 1919 and a 1949s dime. So many more targets but to frozen. Never get them because it's where they tore down a house to widen a road. Maybe if the snow melts a little more I will go back with a pick. As always Beau, great and fun video.
Great site. Hope you'll be back there soon.
Rock might not be a chuck, it might be a boundary marker
That medallion looks just like a mule tag dated 1919 I found, maybe it goes with your mule shoe?
Beau that tooth was haunted Spooky yet a hint of laughter!!!; )👻
Look forward to seeing you back at this site and maybe bring a screen. I loved seeing the stuff coming out of the hole you were digging.
Awesome video c h i g g. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to your next one.
The wrench looks to be a lathe toolpost wrench used on clausing lathes in the days before quick change tool blocks and certainly before CNC’s.
More likely to be a Bed Spanner, which came with all cast iron beds to fix the bottom and head to the wire base mattress;
Wow both amazing suggestions !!!
Good guess on the stirrup..!!! Cant believe Todd asked you if you knew what it was.. He's too funny. LOL
Great video Chigg..LOVE the passion you have and the knowledge you share..Even the concerns for other's human or animals..(the well)
I can't wait to for the next adventure! God Bless Ya man
Happy New year Chigg. Live ur vids. Look forward to many many more.
Thanks for another great video. your mouth-piece item I think it's part of an adjustment knob from an old kerosene lamp. I have many parts for old lamps and from the photo that's my take. Cheers to all, Billy in Canada
The log was a lentil, above a window or door. The frame was pegged to it. That isn't an instrument mouthpiece. It's more likely to be the grommet from a powder horn.
Both great channels !!!!!
Can you do a favorite finds video for 2019? Ive always wanted to know what your favorite items are that you've found!
Great video. That place is loaded with layers of goodies.
Hope you get to go back and do some digging! So interesting to so the layers of pottery and other relics! HH🎧⛏
Killer spot chigg I hope you go back there soon
I love how excited Chigg gets over a death trap!! Love you chigg
Enjoyed watching this vlog. Be careful out there, hunting season can be dangerous.
I enjoy your videos. Have you guys considered wearing Hi visibility clothing during hunting season like we do up hear in Jersey.I'm more comfortable wearing orange or neon yellow during hunting season as opposed to camo or olive drab green.It's also a good idea when detecting on a working farm if you have earphones on and might not hear that tractor behind you.
Chigg you cannot see out of your back glass in your truck. lol.
🤣
I never seen a thimble with no top. Nice find!
That Detech coil for the AT Max is really nice!
Is @19:12 a Model T Ford radiator cap?
Nice 👍 video!👍👍❄️👍
Love your videos Chigg!! The round thing with a hole in it is part of an Ox Knob, A ball put over the horns on an Ox to prevent gouging people or other animals. Keep getting dirty!!
Those hats are awesome..this is a good video.its cool this is when you met..you seems like you knew him alot longer. Your the man chigg..your kinda my hero when it comes to digging.but I'm sure you hear that alot. Your the rockstar of the dirt diggers
I loved how you helped with the ACE. Thanks for showing us your set up too. 😁👍🏻
I had wondered what a sniper coil would be like with my Max. That seems awesome in that area.
I am your 927th LIKE on this video by the looks of it from my end. 🙂
Could that “wheel chock” also be a keystone in some intended bricked building or bridge?
That thing almost looked like a boot jack. LOL! But I doubt it.
Interesting finds in that area. I wonder what story they all tell? 🤔
Can’t blame your wife to like to collect crotal bells...they are really cool!
About 22:38 You were showing what appeared to be some length of carbon material that may have been a pencil lead. I was coming back from a fire run. My Fire Captain asked me if I liked hunting for old marbles . I said I did. He pulled the fire truck on to a flat area where the old school had been. No marble where found but lots of pencil leads. They had been through a fire and would no longer leave any marks.
Hey man thank you for the video and lots of nice cool finds there but your friend that found that thing that you put your foot into that was truly nice I think it's called stirrup hopefully one day I truly find one of those myself
You are our "Indiana Jones" of metal detecting.
Susan Smith Or his cousin Basketball Jones! Sorry ferda outdated Cheech & Chong reference. 🙋🏻♂️
40:45 looks like a stencil for some kind of bale like a wool bale etc.
Great vid as always, Chiggbeau!
Good ...lots of stuff and your guys had fun...and could make a little money too!!
The log with the dowels could be colonial. The New Jersey Quakers used to use dowels instead of nails to construct their 18th century meeting houses.
Thanks for the video. God Bless you.😀
Outstanding with friends. Great finds! Definitely check them out!
I would say the log was from either a window or door way
Exactly. between door and window or two windows. Pins held the frames. They were cut out of the finished sides.
Thimble is used to push the head of the needle thru cloth
The thing that looked like a wrench could be for a wood stove to shake the ashes down. My grandparents used coal and I used to watch them shake the ashes down into a tray with a dealie bob like that.
I found a clear glass seal to a old mason jar the other day. 1st time I’d seen one clear like that that I remember anyways. The other ones I have are the milky white ones.
Hmmmm I never seen a mule shoe like that neither. Interesting find.
Glad to see you in Tennessee!
Thimble it’s older one for sure. I’ve not seen one like that with the open end in a long time. My granny had one like that that was very old.
Need to go back for more artifacts and research. Everyone stay awesome.
Don't take that Tennessee hat off! LOL
THE PIECE THAT LOOKED LIKE A TAG, MIGHT BE A KEY HOLE COVER.
Yeah I’d love go there and set down and dig away in that foundation. No telling what’s buried in there. That would be great to do that.
12:17 frame, how bout a boot jack?
Nope. It's a type of garden hoe. My grandfather had one just like it for separating potatoes from the rest of the plant.
Lewis Parker that’s what I thought too, missing some wooden bit 😁
@@RagPlaysGames Beat me to it... Ive seen plenty of these at old auctions...
@39:20 looks like a worn out corn knife blade. if thats what it is, likely forged on site, just had to be a right angle or hook to pull towards you, used to cut grasses for harvest or making brooms etc
Kinda looks like a knock wrench . great video Chigg. See ya on the next
26:30 look like the little plate that covers a keyhole on old padlocks
Hey Chigg glad to see another video buddy.
I would really love to see you go back there and dig a few big holes and see what historical items that you can uncover and please dig out the bottle dump
Nice stirup..👍
The one find that you pulled out and ask for help on what it may be. It had two prongs on one end and one wider rounded piece on the other end. I'm 68 now but when I was a child my father used that as a digging tool the prongs on one end will brake up the dirt. The other end pulled the dirt out of the way. It was like a Pic. Hope this helps
That looks awfully familiar, traffic 🤣
Happy new year mate
Awesome!
The stone could be a center Stone in a stone bridge or a a stone house with an arch
I think they might be called a key stone or something to that affect.
Yes, it's called a key stone.
The angles are too sharp for a keystone. It's probably a coping stone.
The stone is obviously a stone age book-end
Looks like a key stone in a arched fire place.
My favorite finds are the wrench sturip and knife handle congrats guys. ..
Always loved the ending song
You never gave me a hat! LOL
Looks like a boot puller. You put te hel of the boot into the opening and pull.
Tiny, tiny fyi for you, Chig. I feel kind of silly telling you this, but can't help myself. Thimbles are used primarily for pushing needles through material. Not as you suggested, for protecting your finger from the pointy end. Yes, the texture is there to keep the needle from slipping, however, as you push the needle using the thimble. Sorry man. 🙄
😅lol
Damn i just realised how long i have been watching you it has to be from atleast 2012. I didnt have an account then but i remember when it was called beau omlette god i miss those days just watching a random dude on youtube dive for sunglasses and go pros and iPhones damn
Great entertaining video as always thanks. Did anyone else notice the video frame dropping throughout?
I even downloaded a copy and watched it in VLC player, lots of skipped frames and out of sync audio.
Maybe UA-cam corrupted it.
Please don't have a go at me. I look forward to Chigg's informative and quality uploads...
David in Lincolnshire UK.
Hi from a detectorist in Indiana!
Hi
26:35 looks like a lock cover.
Two left gloves, digs with right hand.
You should send that wrench to hand tool rescue. He does old tool restoration on UA-cam. This would be interesting to see how much he could salvage
I am reasonably certain your willow pattern fragment is from the Allertons Works, which kicked off c.1850 and kicked the bucket c.1940. It was pretty much entry level chinaware, more Sears than Tiffany's. I'll leave the rest of the research to you!
Oh Boy New Chigg Video it's going be good night
Replacement log I believe. Great job chigg. Key hole cover?
The old farm I was raised on me and my uncle used to find coffee cans full of arrowheads there when I was a kid many moons ago lollllll.
Soooo Randle, where was that!? LOL!
@@bonesstones6584 lol I was going to make that very same comment.
In the woods now lollllllllllllllll
Sounds ligit...i myself found 1 arrow head...once, and I consider myself lucky for that, you might wanna play the lottery r something more often cause your luck is off the charts...lol
Wonder who planted em.
That peice he found is a gardening maddox.
Tennessee guy! Yay! Go Vols!
Hey if it will get me a hat you can come dig in my yard. LOL. Love the vids.
Lol
