Super Day Searching The Stormy River

  • Today we hit the river in my RiverRat jetboat and travel to search an area of the river with my metal detector that had previously yielded some great finds. At one point I decided to take a nap on the river and work up to a storm brewing on the immediate horizon. But he day was not lost and we found some great treasures even after the storm passed.
    About Aquachigger:
    I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
    metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my UA-cam "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
    BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

    Hi Chigg, the circular rock you found is actually a concretion. It is created in the clay left by the ice age. In my area southern Quebec, just north of Vermont they date back to 12000 years ago. Should you find bigger ones you can try splitting them open and you may have a surprise. In the area north of Montreal they actually found fishes like cod. Dating back to the period were because of the melting ice, belugas, walrus and narval were swimming over Montreal. Although not made by the Native American, you are right. The odd shape, often animalistic, made them special. Because of this, it is said the native indian in my area the Abenaki associated them to the spirit of the woods. Often used in the teaching of different legends.

    Chigg,
    What amazes me is the huge amount of stuff still in the rivers and battle sites, you'd think that by now pickings
    would be lean.
    Great day for us, a little cold for you, but your knowledge shines forth!

    Beau I particularly enjoy your 'river rambles' so special thanks for this episode and to my eyes the 'blade' you found looks like what is left of an old cut-throat razor minus the handle.
    I can easily imagine such a thing being among the personal possessions of a soldier, explorer or other traveler who might have 'fallen foul' of any number of misfortunes.

    • @aquachigger

    It’s always exciting watching you find civil war relics but I also wonder what were the circumstances when they were lost. The gore and the horror of the war must have been awful and life changing. Your effort to find, restore and catalogue these artifacts is respected. Stay awesome Mr. Chiggles.

    Chigg, you should have saved that rock for the International Rock Skipping contest....that is a winner. The lead remains of a food can explains why so many people were named Cletus and acted the way they did. That copper thing looks like an antique paddle or oar tip. Pretty sure it is, so that is actually a pretty good find.

    At 6:44 this is a fishing ring weight for a bobber used to add weight to the bobber for longer casting distance using lightweight baits like worms or minnows. It goes around the bobber stem just below the bobber float. It is for weighted bobber floats.

    Aloha Chigg, Had a reel something like that as a kid 75 years ago. When you cast, you can slow down the line with your thumb and drop it right next to the cattails - where the Northerns live. Do it enough and it pisses them off so they bite it! Thanks for the friendship.

    Stick yourself an emergency blanket, a small tarp and a couple of lawn trash bags in that boat. I figure that you already carry some parachute cord somewhere. Those trash bags are big enough and durable enough to sit in with the E blanket and make a pretty fair emergency rain parka. The main idea is shelter and warmth so that you remain safe. You may even have something akin to this.

    Ok chigg , when are you going to dig an ox shoe.
    I watch religiously and can't think of any being dug yet.
    I'm waiting for that. My opinion is that a poor man's ox shoe, or due to lack of resources, a worn out horse shoe half may have been used. And ,no, they are not that different in a pinch. You know you could make that work if need be. Keep up the good videos and take better care of yourself!
