Today Mike and I explore new areas on an old permission and search for relics of the American Civil War (1861-1865). This farm was used by both sides as a camping area during the war and is near the Antietam (Sharpsburg) battlefield. It was also a part of the retreat route of the rebel army after their defeat at the battle of the Antietam in Sharpsburg Maryland.
About Aquachigger:
I like to make videos that promote my lifestyle of 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. I keep my RU-vid "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.

Is it possible that SaBo hit it's target? Would that explain the broken scattered gun parts to dropped 3 ringers? All depends on how you look at it. History uncovered

Chigg, I happened to be watching another video after yours (American Battlefield Trust-Vicksburg 160th anniversary.) At 2:05 minutes in there is a Handheld Grooming Tool pictured in a case that has piece of iron with teeth. Looks like garden tool of today but it is next to other grooming tools. Thought you might want to know.

@ryanstottlemyer5698 7 месяцев назад

My wife just got me a Garrett 400 ace and I set it up the other day, I live in Falling-waters, so I’m gonna try around my yard first and I have some property on the jig, you have been immensely helpful and I really do enjoy watching your videos. Thank you and good hunting.

@gr8finds196 7 месяцев назад

Good luck. That was my first machine and found my first silver coin with it. This is Mike. 😊

@AndrexT 7 месяцев назад

I started with a Garrett Ace400 and Beau signed the box for me at a Meet and Greet at the shop where I bought it. It has been a great machine and I found a lot with it. Good Luck and Happy Hunting. One of my first finds was a 9 ct gold pendant a foot down in the sand at a Toronto Beach and a $15,000 Cartier gold and diamond bracelet, albeit a copy :>D

@brianfromtheambar7944 7 месяцев назад

Sab-ot or sab-oh is the same as the Scots refer to a joint of meat as jig-ot which is derived from the French jig-oh. Y'gotta love how languages morph over time and geographic distance. Very kule.

@mikeh1242 7 месяцев назад

Have you ever been down near Bull Falls, there is an old town along the tracks that's not there anymore. I think it was called Shenandoah City and there are remnants of an old dam that diverted water to the banks and they had water powered factories that got wiped out by floods. There is also the island on the other side of the river.

I have, but it is all NPS now.

Maybe a tip I don’t know if it works for iron your digging out of the ground but when I come across Rusty tools that I’ve picked up, I soak them and use motor oil six months to a year later they come out looking pretty decent. Great video as always .

@historyhamm 7 месяцев назад

Could that horseshoe have been an Ox shoe? I found one before and mentioned in my video it was a broken horseshoe and was told Ox Shoe. Cool finds. Happy digging! 👍

@aquachigger 7 месяцев назад

Ox shoes look different and have a significant widening on one end. A quick Google will show you the difference.

After discovering the channel a couple weeks ago, and binging all of the content I can, I think I want to give this hobby a try. Anyone know of a group in the Eastern Panhandle region of WV or close-ish by that would be willing to show a newbie the ropes? Or does anyone have any good suggestions on where to start?

@deirdreshaw2761 7 месяцев назад

I may be wrong, but I think that's part of an ox shoe, not a horseshoe.

@auspiciouscloud8786 7 месяцев назад

Some Vaseline on those hands Chigg, then rinse under hot water and rub it in, will do wonders. Your hands look so chapped and painful 😬☹️❤️

@TomFromMN 7 месяцев назад

It looked like you two were having some fun. Of course, it's always fun to see you pull Mike's chain. For Mikes's info, gilt is considered a heavier layer than plate. Where did you learn so much about farm equipment? I'm always amazed (shouldn't be) when you can identify an item like that spring. Thanks for a longer adventure. Of course, you know they are never long enough for me! 😊

@hardyakka6200 7 месяцев назад

They prevent steel to steel contact up the barrels.Sabots peel away on exiting the barrel they allow small calibre projectiles to be fired from larger guns with larger charges. Copper bands used to on shells made of steel to engage the rifling are called firing bands.

It's hard to imagine removing and leaving those musket parts in the field.

@solotraveler6025 7 месяцев назад

4;35 is a bushing from the beater bar shaft out of a Smith Mfg Co Great Western horse drawn manure spreader. How do I know you ask, I have replaced them when I worked for my great uncle who owned a horse draw farm implement shop and tac shop in Greenville Michigan, Amish Country. When the end of the spreader box would rot out from the wet acidic manure, it would finally give way while you were spreading manure and parts would go missing in the field, same with those chain links you always find. Of course we would turn new ones on a metal lathe because you couldn't get replacement parts for a 100 year old manure spreader. The one you have there is cast making it an original one.

Chigg, whats happening with access to your property? Any luck in court or have you given up after hearing what legal fees could cost you as a minimum?

@aquachigger 7 месяцев назад

No much. Just waiting until the old guy "moves on" and then the estate will have to take care of it if they want to sell the property without a lawsuit attached.
