Beau, my great great grandfather's best friend was wounded in a battle they were in. He (no doctor around I guess) removed from his friend's shoulder a .36 caliber round ball. Probably the only reason he lived.
Hey chigg I was wondering if you ever considered making a video with your top 10 tips for successful metal detecting. With all your knowledge I think that would help so many people. Always enjoy watching your videos hope to meet you someday.
I’m so glad I found your channel, entertaining and informative yet fun. I’m in the UK north of Lancaster, Lancashire and don’t get out much (work injury) so your channel is a breath of fresh air. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and thank you. 🥂
Chigger Buddy, I'm so excited! This is only the beginning of my second year in the metal detecting hobby and i found a 30 lb parrott shell yesterday hunting around an old church. Its a couple hundred yards off of the river that travels through here and the shell is almost completely intact. Its only missing the skirt around the bottom and has just a little bit of surface rust. This thing is BEAUTIFUL! I almost feel underserving considering im still a newb. Love ya brother!
@@kevio6868 Thank you so much brother. I wish both you and i have the best of luck hunting this season. Chigger too because he creates the content but i want us to have a great one most of all. Its our turn now!:-D Hahahaha I love this hobby and the community in it. I couldnt ask for a nicer group of people to be involved with.

Man I would love to have you come to Indiana and detect some places around here. I detect as well and I find bunches. Plus after watching your video I know how to use my new Garrett Max . Thanks for that cause I've learned a lot watching you.
@Aquachigger- I've been watching your video's for a couple year's now and it's cool seeing you follow your passion and how informative you are on the stuff you find. You have a kid mentality like I do where we love to just go have fun and explore. Must be a Maryland thing lol cause I'm from Anne Arundel area. But thank you for making content and always giving me something to mellow out to and watch at night. I got into routine of watching your videos before bed cause they always give me cool dreams as well. But I hope all is well and just wanted to say thank you for everything you do. Us Marylander's always have each other's backs so I'll always be a fan :) also go Ravens :) lol and it's also OK if you're a Skins fan 😝 Raven's are just better 🤫🙃 lol
@@derekmorse8171 naah, bull-terriers have pointed ears, tight-skin, and long tails...very different looking 100% English bulldog. (or a cross between the 2, which is the Staffordshire Bull Terrier)
Found a lot of those ends to shotgun shells around Ghost towns in Arizona. They were made of paper cardboard type material and the brass is always the only thing left. Clean it up Chig and there’s sites online that have excellent pictures and you can actually date the shell. It’s pretty awesome actually. People actually collect the stamped brass ends, especially if it’s one they don’t have.
I have quite a few shell casings from the first world War. My great aunt brought back the shells, a German helmet with a bullet hole through the front and back also a bayonet. Took them to a historical war museum in Canada and got all items appraised. Decided to keep them as they might actually be worth something in the future. Being over 100 years old the massive shell casings now hold our umbrellas. The biggest casing was 9.5 inches across the casing and the projectile was over 880lbs when it was shot. I believe it was called big bertha shot by the Germans. Will post a video of them if anyone is interested. Also have a Russian 9mm unfired bullet in its casing. Kinda odd possessing over 100 years of the first word war. Somehow fascinating. Tried to find the largest casing on eBay and Amazon but it's been converted into trench art. I believe that I have probably a one and a million find thats a fully intact casing. All the research I've done I've only been able to find one other casing that has not been cut or turned into art. My grandmother's aunt was a medic in the first world war. If anyone has any other information it would be greatly appreciated!
I stopped hunting in that field years ago... There was so much case shot many you could see where balls had hit each other... My buddy and Myself had coffee can full and overflowing... You should have hit the Ohio camp in the field just North of that... The original road bed can be seen along the top of the hill... Hunt southwest of where the red barn stood - Joslyn bullets in abundance, and I dug a few plates in there... My favorite that I dug at that spot was the prettiest little burnside breastplate... It came from the fence row along the interstate... I hit a Confederate spot towards the bottom of the slope, in a little hollow/ravine... gardners and Block "I" button... There are a few more spots nearby - two are CS only relics...
Ok, I'm drawing a blank. The disc with holes in it that you found (shown at the end in the wrap-up), and said that we probably know what it is and what type of woods you are in because of it. For the life of me, I cannot remember what those are. Anyone know?
I found a Trime that had been chewed on ) ; mistake was trying to flatten it , Now have 3 cents for sure, as broke into 3 pieces, lol. Nice hunt ( ; HH and take care ( :
Always check trees. I found a piece of canister at the Chalmette Battlefield in the roots of an oak that had toppled from Hurricane Katrina. It was 500’ from the barrels of the cannons.
Hello Dr. Chiggles--- Kinda thinking all the round balls are from a heavy concentration of case shot or canister rounds. But if it was case shot, you'd figure parts of the shell casing would have been there too. By the way, the first date my wife and I ever went on was to that same covered bridge. Good memories, thanks for your "adventure videos" !!
That rock shaped like a clam shell, could have been a petrified clam shell. Someone in my family found a petrified cabbage, no joke. You could see the leaves, the veins, and the tips of the leaves were curled back. you could tell it was a cabbage, the leaves looked slightly thicker than lettuce. No, it was not man made, they found it on property my grandfather once had.
I want to get started in metal detecting and have been subscribed to your channel for years aaaaannnnnnnddddd lol don't know what to do. I would like to get a detector that can do gold and other metals like a jack of all trades and a good pointer. Thank you and thank you also for the entertainment and the learnins
It makes me wonder about how man and time change the landscape and it’s use. Ground that Civil War soldiers passed over is now businesses, roads and parking lots.
Chigg.. I have bottle fever. Help! I found an 1820s wine bottle last night and BROKE IT while cleaning. A rainbow of colorful words erupted from my mouth. Bad bad times. Show us the bottles Chigg!!!!
OK Chigg, a few bones to pick with you. What WAS that mystery item you at first mistook for a coin, and said we all would know what it was??? Then, that bridge in the end was beautiful, but why no info or exploration if it?! And lastly, couldn't the "clam shell" rock your buddy found, have been an actual fossilized clam shell? OK , got that off my chest. Love Ya.
calvary used pistols in close encounter's as they went outside the infantry etc so coulda been a small battl;e took place right in that field..don't know where you're at?? Virginia?
That bridge kind of looked like the bridge from that was in a movie but I forgot what the movie was called but a young couple was driving over the bridge and they recked and went over the side in their car and died and went to the afterlife or heaven
Beau, my great great grandfather's best friend was wounded in a battle they were in. He (no doctor around I guess) removed from his friend's shoulder a .36 caliber round ball. Probably the only reason he lived.
I wonder how many times a soldier who didn’t care how many bullets he dropped along the way then regretted it because he ran out during a battle?

I sure would love to rock mother earth to sleep man
Thanks for the entertainment! Love seeing what you find.
That cover bridge , wow!
That’s a cute pupper!!
Thanks for the day with us.
Another great vid!
The shotshell bases you find of today will one day be the equivalent three ring miniball of tomorrow.

Love the english bulldog.
its not a bulldog its a bull terrier. Easy mistake because they both have attitude hahaha.
@@derekmorse8171 naah, bull-terriers have pointed ears, tight-skin, and long tails...very different looking
100% English bulldog. (or a cross between the 2, which is the Staffordshire Bull Terrier)

Great adventure!!! What was the name of the covered bridge? That was a beauty! Thanks!!
It's the Meems Bottom Covered Bridge. It's the longest surviving covered bridge in virginia.
Always enjoy your videos 😉

another great video. first person I look to to see if they've uploaded everyday.
Please tell us what the disc with the holes is Chigg!!!
Good luck charm/token
He actually replied to me after I asked the same thing, lol. He said it's part of a sprayer. He believes the atomizer.
Sandy top soil with red clay underneath. You're getting close to home!
I really like your videos! Thank you!!!

I May have forgotten to say... it is part of an orchard sprayer (atomizer I think).
@@aquachigger wouldn’t of guessed that in a million years 😯
I was hoping it was said in the comments because I was scratching my head too lol
That disk with holes is a top of a pepper shaker for a giant that lived there!
Poor video making. Why wouldn't he show it and say what it is?
I think the round thing you jokingly said was your best find so far I believe it is a broken valve to an old cylinder head
I found a Trime that had been chewed on ) ; mistake was trying to flatten it , Now have 3 cents for sure, as broke into 3 pieces, lol. Nice hunt ( ; HH and take care ( :

So what was the thing @5.25?

Nice old bridge
My bulldog was named Maggie also.
Center weight,
drop spring, old school barn carpentry work and stone wall
Great video Chigg stay after the artillery rounds now
That is a fossilized clam. Probably 10k years old. Very nice. I have only found one in my life.
I have watched a lot of your videos. And enjoyed them all. And was wondering what brand is that shovel you are using?
That one thing you found could it be a breach plug idk just a suggestion bit i feel like I've seen one of those before
Lol i new it chigg i know where you are i wish i could spot you digging when im out and about
What was the reason for the clearing of the forest?
Nice english bull!! I have 2
That’s how I feel with the dogs while I’m delivering mail lmao, like you seen me yesterday now you hate me? 🤣
Those Porcelin insulators were used on electric fences and general wiring for homes back in the day.
What brand detector found the dawg
That rock shaped like a clam shell, could have been a petrified clam shell. Someone in my family found a petrified cabbage, no joke.

THAT'S actually super awesome!! Saving this story for further research
I know this is totally unrelated but I find you so atractive sir ! lol much love ❤️
That looks like a snap at 8:00
hello are you sure they are small caliber musket balls and not schrapnells ?
hey man thank you for the video I enjoyed it and be careful with that dog alone because he just might chew on you when you're alone with him
Interstate 81 in the background... I think I know that spot... I grew up near there...
What camera did u use to film this
Metal detecting in Hobbs end?
Was this near Woodstock, VA?
Or New Market?
I want to get started in metal detecting and have been subscribed to your channel for years aaaaannnnnnnddddd lol don't know what to do.

Humans, working on making our planet just like Mars.
It makes me wonder about how man and time change the landscape and it’s use. Ground that Civil War soldiers passed over is now businesses, roads and parking lots.
The artillery shell looking rock looks kind of like a stalactite/stalagmite?
I wonder if the thick disc is a piston from a door closer or an air pump?
Aquachigger Would love to meet you some day, my dude.
Business owners: Damn I have to pay for Jim’s broken leg
Worker: I broke my leg making you money lol
The rock..................Iron or...What??? I crack myself up..Sorry been a long day..
maybe a good old pissing con test just haveing volley.lol.
Probably a home owners target range since they are small.
Hey Chigg
Chigg..
I have bottle fever. Help!
I found an 1820s wine bottle last night and BROKE IT while cleaning. A rainbow of colorful words erupted from my mouth. Bad bad times.
Show us the bottles Chigg!!!!
That thick thang that looks like a button is a toy train wheel i have found a few of them b4...
OK Chigg, a few bones to pick with you. What WAS that mystery item you at first mistook for a coin, and said we all would know what it was??? Then, that bridge in the end was beautiful, but why no info or exploration if it?! And lastly, couldn't the "clam shell" rock your buddy found, have been an actual fossilized clam shell? OK , got that off my chest. Love Ya.
Could the stone John found could be a hammer stone?
I suppose they had to have a practice range somewhere
Every step should have a swing or 2 of the detector set it up to only ring high signal
How would I go about sending you a photo of a mucket ball embedded in a stone , so as to get your opinion on it.
Show some of your meteorites
I think that was an adz head instead of axe head
I believe that "shotgun shell base" may be a pinfire cartridge.
What do you think your all have some hats in again ???
How about colonial a pistol? That place was used to settle duels. Sounds a lot more exciting for a story line.
That’s a base to a paper shotgun shell I believe
calvary used pistols in close encounter's as they went outside the infantry etc so coulda been a small battl;e took place right in that field..don't know where you're at?? Virginia?
Of all the mini balls you found I bet some hit their target.
That bridge kind of looked like the bridge from that was in a movie but I forgot what the movie was called but a young couple was driving over the bridge and they recked and went over the side in their car and died and went to the afterlife or heaven
Maybe it's an older battle site, French/native wars or 1812?
that clam is sedimentary rock that was in water
👍👍👍👏👏😎🗽🇺🇸
Balls might’ve got beat up by a till when dragging the field for farming
Can we see a recent picture of Bobby wobs and Fiona please
🗽🇺🇸🖐🙂👏👍
54 cal round balls, maybe a single shot pre war martial pistol shooting range?
I thought you quit
I know that bridge.
🙂🤝🏻😎🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👏👏
Native people live
There to....

U guys should be looking for Indian artifacts there.
Bulldog!!
Those rocks look like fossilized poop
It's irritating to start a vid and have no idea where it is, any history of the place, etc.
Whos gonna tell him his cheek triangle beard things dont look good
