It is so cool you allow us to ride the excitement train to see the treasure at the end of the line.
HE IS FREAKING AWESOME ISN'T HE??
Future reference, that is not the edible type of fiddle head. Look for the darker green with more rose stem type flesh. It should be covered by tan colored thin paper around the head. Any other color than darker green or hairy should not be eaten.

Hey Aquachigger. Can you do like a rainy day video sometime? We know a bit about your personal life (military service, wife, animal stuff, childhood), but I know I speak for many of the fans when I say we wanna hear more. When did you serve? Favorite stories of the service? Where did you meet your wife? What was your career?

He was in Germany in the army as a materials guy. He met his wife when he was young right after high school they began seeing each other and right before he left for Germany he got married. He worked as a state archeologist in w. Virginia after the army. He went to college in West Virginia after the military. He went to Germany in the mid 80s .
After his career in archeology, he did consulting work for dr. Jones which took him all over the world, where he also developed a fear of snakes. He did metal detecting work for the cia and the Saudi govt. I would have never guessed he spoke Arabic
Noel Ebbert its a true story I made it up myself.

Nice vid Beau. That would be a GREAT place to set up a screen and sift the nails from the good finds.

Sir, i don't detect, but boy do I love to listen to your knowledge. nothing like puttin in time!! It helps realize that life is an accumulation of experience and passion. again. thanks
Rob I like the way you worded all of that. LOL
Looks like a Colonial or 19th century bronze pestle- keep looking for the bronze mortar! And, awesome dime find in such fine condition, it wasn't in circulation too long before dropped. I found an 1887-S Seated Liberty Dime last year that has most of the details worn off.

Congratulations on the Seated dime!.It appears it wasn't in circulation long before it was lost,the details are super sharp & bold..Awesome condition & find!
yes that was indeed a squirrel skull!
Thanks - appreciate the finds and perhaps more important - watching you adjust settings and your technique. I've run into a few places that are very "chatty" due to construction debris and it was great to see how you approached a similar situation.
The is part of a Mortal and Pestle. Many were made of brass back in the day!

Aqua, I have been watching your videos for quite a while now and I look forward to each one!! I love your passion and knowledge of history!!! You are an inspiration!! Thank you.
I began with a cheap, used bounty hunter and actually saved and kept saving till I now have an ace 200 and 400 and just got the AT Gold and began a channel. You were the very first metal detecting videos I seen and still watch to learn. Keep it up big guy and I found my first civil war Minie ball in my own yard waiting on the weather to break to hit the river and creeks here in Cumberland md and will for sure let you know if I find any civil war artillery shells or tons of the three ringers

I always enjoy watching your videos. They make for the most interesting history lessons, Especially for those of us out west. I agree with the comments recognizing the brass item as an old pestle, I remember seeing one like it in a museum display of doctor's tools.
When Chigg uploads a new video.. and it’s 28:00 minutes! Made my day
The bench mark for all detectorists 👌 Great work beau GL&HH steve 🇬🇧🇺🇸
I believe your elf barbell is from a mortar and pestle. Great site! You need a sifter!

My first thought about your mystery object was that it looks exactly like a knife rest. But it's so big! Then I read down a few comments and someone said a rest for fireplace tools. I think that must be it. I sort of had the right idea. The dime is beautiful.

Hey man I love your videos keep up the good work you're the one that got me into metal detecting
Your the man!!! Thanks for the vid brother!!
Haven't been on for a few days - and then 3 in a row thank you!!!
You actually shouldn’t eat raw fiddleheads cause they can make you sick and puke-y...but if you cook them really well they’re delicious when you pan fry them with olive oil, garlic and salt :)

Great finds Chigg! Sweet seated dime! Thanks for sharing & Happy Hunting! ~ Gypsy
Congrats on the silver!
I love your videos Mr. Chigger I love that seated dime, you and nugget noggen are the first detectorists I ever watched, and now I have my own channel, inspired by you guys! Thank you!
Me too :) Hooked on digging and swinging LOL HH James
Next time you should bring a magnet to help with all those nails, and a sifter. That be cool!!
More detecting, less talk, and drama
I just subscribed to you
when you get into these old homesites did you ever think about using a magnet to eliminate the nails to get to the good stuff?
That was probably one of the best seated coin I have ever seen detected........awesome!!! You should have a million subscriber contest and give that sucker away!!! LOL
Mr. Beepers It was a nice one. He just didn't get very excited about it. I sure would have. I guess it's because he has found so many.
spooderdoggy what would one of those in that wonderful condition be worth today?
Brenda Salmon a coin is pretty cool especially a gold coin! But I have dug civil war buckles and Canon balls and trust me it is a little more exciting than digging a coin! No offense to the coin diggers!
That Fiddle Head looked hairy. The flat piece of iron with the teeth looks like a rack for lifting the sluice gate to control the speed of the mill. The gate would, of course, be wood. Nails that have gotten a high enough temperature to become fire blued. As the building collapsed the could land in charred burning embers. Beau, I only have opinions; not certainties. The barbell thingy? I have no idea at all!
It's a pestle, to grind stuff with in a mortar. Agreed on the rack.
By golly, I think you got it!
Some nice finds there Chig, I think you definitely need to go back. x
Thank you for the at max teaching!
That one square nail looks similar in shape to that copper nail you found the other day.
Could that metal thingy be a double headed pestle? They did make them with two heads so maybe?
Seems possible: www.antiques-atlas.com/antique/early_18th_century_bell_metal_mortar__pestle/as273a474
I belive it is a pestle to :) my mother got a cupple looking like that.
Great watch Beau, cool find. ATB

These videos are so relaxing
Turkeys love the fiddle heads when they’re like that stage in growth.
I’ve learned watchin you Chigger on metal detecting and the sounds the detector makes on certain metals.
East coast Canada, we get a lot of fiddle heads and usually we fry them with salt and butter!
Black Pup Yassss!!!!! In N.B. I like mine with olive oil, garlic and salt!! 👌🏻

Yeah there is a ton of it in Maine too
Chig man, that place looks great. To have a house and a mill there must have been lovely.
The ooooold mill. Nothing but square nails, window latch and rain for me. Hey Beau, why don't you use a magnet?? Oh wait, you thought of it.

Great video as always !!!
I love it! Always complaints about The Chigg wiping a coin, if The Chigg wants to wipe his dime, he will! He found it! Great show
Much respect Mr. Chigg.
Awesime pottery too!
Looks like a piece or part of a candle stick thanks for your videos
Chig, that looks like a mortar from a mortar and pestle.
The pestle is the thing you hold in your hand, the mortar is the bowl.
Thanks I always get them mixed up.
It's actually a Victorian stimulator for ladies with inattentive husbands.
bingo it's a pestle.
It is a press for sealing envelops with wax
That large brass item is definitely an 18th century pestle, as in a mortar and pestle for grinding up spices, or making medicine. Nice finds!
Awesome videos Beau hope when weather gets warm you can do some colonial cellar holes / house sites.

Decorative brass , metal piece is a fireside rest for fire tools or in pairs for flat irons to warm. Lay the poker down on them to keep the dirty end up.
It's a pestle, to grind stuff with in a mortar.
You can be sure because of the two ridges near the middle, they re there to ride on the wall of the mortar.
I have one almost identical, along with the mortar.

Like always another great video.
The brass piece is a horse bit more then likely. I have seen one years ago and was told that is what it was. Love your channel. Keep up the good work and may your finds be plenty and awsome. Bill Fox of Desert Fox Adventures
I would have guessed that long decorative piece might have been a drawer or door pull handle maybe? Great video!
I used to have a building built in the early 1820's made from that type of brick we call it "punk brick" because of its pumpkin color. Good hunting.
Carrying a sifter and magnet and what not would be too much extra baggage.
Nice find on the seated dime. You always find what other people missed.
I have been enjoying your videos. Yesterday I received my Garrett brochure and that sure looks like you holding a handheld detector. If it isn't then it might be your twin! Thank you.

Beau, I think a couple people have already said, and are correct, it’s a mortar to a pestle. There are obviously hundreds of designs dating back to the late 1700s. Nice finds, you should definitely come up to NNY and dig some of these old mills with us sometime this summer. Not many diggers up here and it’s a very historic area.
The brass weight is for keeping curtains drawstrings tidy and in place, out of sight.
They have deep grooves to loop the curtain string in neatly.
That 'gear of some sort' at 12.56 will be the remains of a rack that was fastened to a sluice-gate, and allowed the miller to wind the gate up and down to control the water flow.
You have a million dollar smile sir chigg of aqua.
Chigg has a phantom “Ghost Train” that haunts him and follows him everywhere he goes.
Aquachigger, I found a really good spot maybe half a mile away from my house. It is also behind an old civil war hospital, so I have found several medicine bottles. There is also an old house foundation where I found an old rum bottle and a trophy from 1932. I've dug up silver name plates, and silverware (that's actually made of silver). It's a really cool spot and it's a gigantic area!
The brass item is a pestle from Mortar and pestle OR it is the handle to a coal scuttle that used to have a brass wire wrapped around the narrow parts at the ends. It reminds me of one I used to have. If one end of it is bigger than the other it is a pestle, if not it is a handle.
There is a old stack stone mill behind our house dated some where between 1800-1900. Our small town had settlers around the beginning of the 1800's. Feel free to come check it out.
I just want to say hi my name is alfie I am 12 and my first UA-cam video 5 years ago was you and I haven't stopped watching you , I have learned so much stuff were to go for old bottles and I have loads off them now , how to go magnetic fishing did it once it worked and mettle detecting my dad watches you and my dad says I can get a metal detector thank you so much I am such a big fan!!!!
Alfie carey Good for you. I am hoping to get my Grandson a metal detector he is 16 yrs old. Best of luck to you. 🤣🤣

It’s a counter balance it’s on top of a steam engine it sits on a cradle and spins old steam tractors .. and thank you for the video..
The Piece of Metal at 1243 looks like part of sluice Gate mechanism that is wound open, it would have been attached to a wooden post. Lots of those on the Canals here in the UK.
That coin must have gotten dropped as soon as it was struck. So much detail on it. Amazing find
i have used my fishing magnet when in a trash/nail filled area. works like a magic wand
fiddle heads great boiled then butter and vinager on them. very popular here in new brunswick Canada
Aquachigger: Here's a trick Exploring Alabama sometimes does. He uses his magnet to pick out all the iron. Seems to work well when he's looking for coins and non-ferrous items.
Well done buddy good hunt 👍👌👊
Great vid Chig
Chegg that thing you found I'm pretty sure is a mortar for a mortar and pestle
