Please join me, Billy and Thor as we journey offshore by boat to explore an island that once contained a booming granite quarry over 100 years ago. When they left the work, they left everything behind. It was an amazing place and so very interesting to explore.

After listening to that song at half speed I feel like I’m dying! 🤣

What a cool place.. Captain Billy has the best story time voice, love to listen him talk!

@erikjgreen 4 года назад

I've been diving quarries in MN for years... they're mostly quite nice, especially if they're spring fed. Clear water, interesting structure, lots of equipment.

@VickieV1333 4 года назад

I loved everything about this adventure!

@sabbathz 4 года назад

Makes me so happy to see you enjoying my home state! There’s nothing like living in Maine. I wouldn’t trade it for all the gold in the world.

Very cool. Thanks for taking me along on the adventure.

@brandonhadley4898 4 года назад

You should make challenge and see how long you can stay at the isolation house on the island off the coast of Maine by simply catching all your food. That would be a great videos

@dragonflydigs658 4 года назад

I love exploring 💖 I could just imagine all the men working there and all those loud machines running! Very cool place! Thanks for the adventure! Be safe and HH⛏🎧

I've not been on RU-vid for ages, great to see you have smashed the 1 million subs! Your river hunting back in the day was the best and got me into metal detecting. Keep up the great content. 👍

Captain Billy is very knowledgeable about all these little areas and Islands

@ih3047 4 года назад

love the chigg and billy shows - you two are great together!

@zw5509 4 года назад

Use the cables to cut the granite. Probably a death trap down in the water.

@sailingavocet 4 года назад

It's been a while since we have watched one of your vids! My husband and I live on our sailboat, sailing around the world... maybe we will cross paths out there someday. Cheers~

@Natasha___. 2 года назад

What a cool life, but I bet it can be tough too. are you still sailing? You guys are lucky, must be no better feeling than knowing you can just zip off to your next destination in the blink of an eye. I'm jealous!

@gilabird75 4 года назад

I just can't get enough of Billy's accent and Beau's response. Kinda like Martin and Lewis.

@yankeefred01 4 года назад

Dang, Chigg .... What's the deal with your music in this video!???

@nhcheyenne7919 4 года назад

I agree with you, but I have a feelings that Aquachigger doesn't look at the comments of his videos anymore. Has he replied to any videos recently? Don't think so.

@mathewyager6657 4 года назад

Playing in slow motion 😂

@AndrexT 4 года назад

Sounds very different, old Rick needs his key winding up. And no, Beau said in an earlier video that he gets so many replies for even 5 year old videos, he can't cope with the notifications. He is open to comments to some videos for 5 minutes and then turns off notifications.

@redgarcia1427 4 года назад

Awesome!! Thanks for taking us along!!! ✌🐢

@pawpatrolnews 4 года назад

Noo!!! I always play the videos at 2X speed so as the song he plays at the end sounds better. You tricked me!!!

@loukashareangas4420 4 года назад

You made me realize it... Beau was talking at 2x while the music sounded slow and I didn't think twice about it!

I could spend a week there taking photos. Very cool place and history. Thanks for the tour Chig and Billy.

@irenefitzkee535 4 года назад

Love these different adventures. A lot of history where you are. Thanks for the adventures.

@pumpupjam9648 4 года назад

There is a quarry here where I live, but no one is allowed to swim in the quarry. Divers went down there and one died. He got caught in a cable line and his partner tried to help him but he couldn't. He drowned. So please stay above ground. Quarries are very dangerous.

@michaelnevanssr206 4 года назад

As usually expected, an entertaining and educational video from The Chigg, Thank You.

@ruthiewrangler9864 4 года назад

We swim in the quarry's here in Minnesota. They are clear, cold, and DEEP. 60 70 feet or more. You get on the ledge and jump. Some even have trout in them. Fun to see one in another part of the country. Thanks Chigg.

Howdy, did enjoy the hike. Thank you. It's cool to see how the ocean air is totally cleaning the place up. Just like the Titanic. Its returning to nature also.

@randyscj429 4 года назад

Hello A.C., sorry I'm late getting back to you since your "finally". Glad you kicked that idea into the alley🤗!!! Will we see more pinging and splashing🤔?? Love the pinging in the dinging (sorry, had to make dingey work!)...🤣 Hope all's well with everyone/thing! Have fun and be safe. Take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 👍👍🙏😇👊

@richardhawkins1952 4 года назад

Awsome find

@brucewestoby 4 года назад

Wow neat historical place. Always glad to see unusual locations where a mine or a granite quarry like this... on a island no less! Thanks ;

@richardperkins6132 4 года назад

Awesome granite island adventure. It would have been awesome if you had a go-pro an your kayak, to drop in the black waters. Might have seen a sam squench. Lol. All that old equipment was really neat to see of a time period that has been long gone for some time now. An for it to just be out on an island all by its self. One can only imagine seeing all the guys putting in a hard days work, cutting the granite an getting it ready to ship out to its final destination. I'd say maybe go back an do some bottle hunting an detecting up in the woods. You just never know what's hiding in them there woods. Great video chigg. As always safe an happy hunting guys. Thanks for taking us along for the adventure. 😁👍👍

You should have dropped your magnet into that black water to see how deep it was.

@jeffhallel8211 4 года назад

11:30 That looks like the pictograph boat.I keep telling Bigfoot to paint it.He won't listen.

@Day1onDay1 Год назад

My family once owned and ran the Chase Granite Company out of Blue Hill, Maine.. Although it is no longer in operation my family still owns the land & the leftover relics from the days the quarry was still operational there are absolutely amazing to see! Thanks for a great video!

@aquachigger Год назад

Thanks for commenting.

@wickerman9569 4 года назад

You get to see some cool places. I’ve been to Colorado a couple of times. We go up around Leadville in the mountains. Look at the mines I get to. Run into few people around there. I love it , hard to find places anymore away from all the people. Good luck on your future adventures .

@SheepDogActual 4 года назад

Great one. I want to live there!!

@RichardWatsonboltspinner 4 года назад

Don't usually comment, but that place is awsome. Would love to see that history, thanks for sharing, B.C. Canada.

@davideo1954 4 года назад

Look up “dank” in the dictionary and there’s a picture of that old black water. Ask Billy if the coins were next to a box of snipes. 🙋🏻‍♂️

@Jupitermustangmike 4 года назад

Deep dark dank cellars

@vixendoe2545 4 года назад

Some one should offer to take him snipe hunting.

@hikerx9366 4 года назад

You should try magnet fishing those waters Chigg.

@timbuck27 4 года назад

Thanks for mentioning the 1934 carving. I love finding old monikers carved in brick buildings out West here. Any old town will have them especially if there was a railroad

@SmallWonda 4 года назад

Great cast of Characters - I'd be wanting to drain the quarry! Certainly shows how quickly Mother Nature can reclaim, when you think it's only be abandoned in Chigg's lifetime... 🤿🛶💰😉🐾👍🦘

@MikeL-vu7jo 4 года назад

this a very interesting place ,the affect of years and years of rain and wind and winter seasons especially that old boat , some year in the future the island will totaly consume every thing that was left there .
