Metal Detecting And Exploring A Freedman's Home 

Wow, you've been spoiling us lately with all the uploads! Your videos are really relaxing and informative - super enjoyable for us history nuts. Keep at it!

I kinda want to privately commission a set of plaques for this place. One for the house, the others for the cemetery. Would ensure this place’s history would never be forgotten. Love these civil war-era and post-war detects, Chigg!

A 94 yr olde asked me what I was looking for with my detector once in the 1980.s When I said coins he gave me a pitying look and said your looking for something they never had.

I Love all these metal detecting channel’s but by far Aquachigger is my favourite hands down!

Chigg’s” that is what you call A Doo Dad!” 💕😂👍🏻🤣💕

Chigg's Army!!! My favourite time of day is when Chigg posts a video. Chigg o'clock 👌

The 2 tone green car was a 56 or so Hudson Hornet, then I saw a 4 door mid 50's AMC there too, cool cars!

Honeydippers. I feel much better going to work tomorrow

Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE see ya on the next

Might have found more coins underneath the seats of those old cars.

17:25 is definitely a large pocket watch plate. Specifically the lower plate that attaches to the face.

Thanks for the interesting tidbits of history.💕

Juat another good look at beautiful countryside and history all wrapped up in one. Thanks for the break from Day 21 on self Quarantine.

At the 18:44 mark the "rivet" you pulled up looks like a brass saw nut. If one end is domed and has a slot in it, that's what you got. That type of saw nut was widely used by saw makers like Disston and Simmonds in the early 1920s all the way up to the 1970s. Around near the 70s they were chromed instead of brass

At 21:40 looks like a pull button from a older car for a manual choke.

My uncle filled up old wells with old antiques and things he called junk at his homestead in Gallingertown in Ingleside Ontario Canada. He sold his farm ( Grandpa Gallingers)in 1976 for $45,000 and got married at his age of 60...he died a year later before exmas. He bought a house in Cornwall Ontario Canada ...still there too. Anyway just filling holes up with junk was a normal

Thanks for the great videos.

"sorry about the wind noises" as Chiggs about to enter the wc out house😳😂😂

what a nice historical property! too funny when you found your own finds...hahaha!

Another great video and finds. Keep up the fantastic hunting!

Hey Chig, back where I am originally from Moonshiners used to hide their stashes, both coin(in mason jars) and shine in those outhouses

Lol...Don't ya just love those senior moments?!😁😄😂👍

love the history of your digs

I would live there.

Love the videos Chigg I always learn a lot!

I started watching ur videos because I love caves. But I watch them all now.

It’s great Chigg that you fill the holes back in like that

Hey Chig have a great next hunt!

Love ya Beau. Every tried hooking up with the Hoover Boys to hunt in their stomping grounds with them? That would be fun to watch.

Cool video always enjoying watching from over here in England 😁

Another day detecting! I look forward to your videos no matter what, if you find wheat pennies or iphones or just get skunked, it's just nice to be along for the ride and learn random facts from old Beau.

Thanks for the video Chigg.

Hahaha really loud!! about finding the wheat pennies twice. That's something I would do and laugh hard about it!

Great permission! Can't wait to see what beeps. ...no spoilers 😉

When I was a kid I helped dad dig 2 privy holes before we got indoor plumbing. We had a fancy one on a concrete slab, that we would drag over the new hole and Chigg is right you would throw trash in what was left of the hole and cover it with a mound of dirt from the new one.

good to see you are using a trowel instead of that shovel all the time. I always worry that you'll damage a good target

New Sub and I am glad to have found you !

Hey man thanks for the video you really didn't find that much today but just keep digging and you will find seek and you will find

Great information!!!!

Very interesting.

👍Really Enjoyed the video👍

Ps love when you talk l learn a lot😉😉😉😉

Great video!

The white car is a 1967 Chrysler Newport. My first car was a Newport.

When did they use a lot of harmonicas? I find a lot at home sites. Also a lot of pump organ reeds. The organ reeds are fun, they have numbers or maybe the notes. I don't know but they do give great signals

It's a fun hobby but most importantly is that history is being saved.

Lotta miles on that Max!

👍 Why was a good trip janma scared there for man and find those 2 pennies

Thanks for the laugh. At least I’m not the only one.

Hi Chigg Hi Tod you guys are both Awsome 😉

The spouty thing and the thing after was a broken valve and the other was a motor mount.

wow clean shaved chig. looks nice

Jeez Beau, wouldn't there be seepage from the newer outhouse where you were probing?

Aahahahaha....Chigg had a moment.

I'm curious to know what settings you have your machine on as well as which coil you're using? Please share and thanks for the video!!

Am I the only one getting that warm Bob Ross vibe from Chigg..?

Mr. Chigger you have inspired me to purchase a metal detector. You should be a professor of the wild.

Chigg.... question. Why do we not find pipe stems and bowls, like Nikola does mud larking the foreshore of the River Thames? Surely those American whippersnappers smoked as soon as they got off the boat. Hey Todd. Much respect fellows.

Haha you found the wheats twice lol

In the beginning with the penny's l think that you were following the old clothes line.

Funny you should mention Dusk to Dawn I just watched the movie again on DVD the other day. lol

Wow

Cool old cars! Did you get the Chiggmobile that you liked in the video a few weeks ago! That place sure looked promising! ATB Chigg! HH🎧⛏

Thanks Beau for being a Mole Champion - I always thought they did lots of good & thought it sad people turned them into hats and coats... Shame you didn't find too much - next time... 👍😎🦘🐾

Hello everyone

The crunchies are the baby bones! Hope not!

Hahahahaha My Uncle said when he was a little boy he would chase the "Honey Dipper" around his patch.

"Privy" not an outhouse LOL. My family always refereed to them as "The Privy", we had a 3 seater and a 2 seater.

I mark my pet graves with the same flowers.

Couple of years back Bunch of us went camping, and one of the girls asked "why would there be an outhouse out here?" We all looked at each other and laughed. Then she asks "and why the fu*k is it out of order" to which I reply, "shitters full" she asks "why dont they get someone to fix it?" I say "its a literal hole in the ground that you are shitting in pissing in, if its full, they need to move the outhouse and dig another hole" she wanted to leave immediately.

at 18:54, rivetty thing is a hand saw handle screw..

I learned a lot about out houses

Dearest frost, thank you. Lol

Thank for the laugh u are so funny I could not stop laughing about the 2 penny's I do learn a lot from u I have a old old home in wv that's need metal detecting it go's back in the 17th hundreds

I love everything you do. I have watched and liked every video .the chigg is as good as river monsters. I really hope you come out of retirement and make more content.

Living it

Chigg you ain't been home in days, wife lock you out?

Chigg, Coming from a long line of farmers, I have to disagree with you on the honey hole. Before commercial fertilizer, or before it was affordable, farmers used dried manure from chickens, cattle, horses, or some other animal. In living and working in the third world (pc - developing countries) I found that many farmers use human excrement, or piped from a sewer line. The caused the fruits and vegetables needing to be cleansed with bleach or other chemicals to reduce the risk of getting parasites, which would make you very sick. This still goes on in many countries.

Wow a chig blooper lol

What was the odd hollow sound around 6:24 as you were tamping the hole?

i found my 1st gold this year, 3.3 gram 14k gold ring. then 10 feet away i find another ring, it was a 14k electro plated ring. the funny thing about that, i was there looking for a lost ring for my grandmother and neither of those were her ring. it must be the land of lost rings because i know there is atleast a 3rd ring there.

well, seeing all the derelict cars i understand all the pull tabs.

Be sure to have your Wheaties every day!

What kind of strategy do you suggest for relic hunting after finding a silver coin from the 1800's by chance 2 feet down?

25:01 looks like the screw on holder from some kind of badge, maybe military.

Do you buy those probes or make them out of automobile hood props?

There was a W.F. Young who was the inventor of Absorbine Jr. Made in Springfield Massachusetts. Not sure if that's part of a Bottle cap.

Just been on a live steam with LA Beast he’s just bought a Garret at 300 ?? I think would be awesome if you both did a video would be extremely funny i asked him in the stream pleeeeease 👍👍👍👍👍👍

And by the way see if you can get in touch with the owner there and save those cars even if you don't want them for yourself Byam off the guy fix him a little bit and then resale that way you could make yourself a little money and you be doing good you be saving those old vehicles

Howdy from Maine . Dose rechargeable Battery's work in your metal detector and pin pointer ? Happy Hunting.

At my home, I dig a lot of pull tabs that have the “blade” wrapped around the pull ring for safety. Like the one at around 5:00 . Why take the time to do that just to toss it in the grass?

😀😀

Hey Chigg and Todd

Why do you get a hollow sound when digging with your shovel?

Take a penny, leave a penny...hahhahha

My birth year is 1951, I need that penny!

Someone should put some markers for the children that were buried there!😢better luck next time!

I miss the solo videos

The outhouse thing is wrong. They didn't have rows of outhouses. They just dug another hole and lifted the old outhouse up and moved it over to the new hole and used the dirt from that new hole to fill the old hole. I remember that from my youth. Four or five uncles, sons and cousins had no trouble helping with it. On top of that, I distinctly remember accidently dropping things down the whole, like little metal cars or even coins. I remember my oldest brother rolling Georgia red clay into marbles and baking them in the sun on top of the corrugated tin roof of the Johnny House. No doubt some archaeologist will someday excavate them and think they were antebellum entertainment for poor unfortunate children. Our little brother Johnny was probably traumatized a little bit whenever we called it by that name. My grandmother named her outhouse "Miss Noblet" after a girlfriend she knew when she lived in the city. When strangers were visiting we called it Twin Pines. The grownups would occasionally ask us kids if we needed to visit Twin Pines.

At 25:28 you can see a Samsquantch head peeking up over the rise in the background - look just above his left shoulder it then moves to the right behind that rise.
