I can’t say enough how I appreciate your content. You have motivated me to go out and buy my very first metal detector and start doing some local Hunt’s on my own. Hope I find some of that gold!!
@Chad Thompson a lockdown is the only thing that would help, herd immunity would cost 1.5 million lives + more with lasting health effects...this shit is going to be here for a couple years. should've locked down at the start and it wouldn't have been so bad
Chig, thanks for the detailed info you provide. Showing your detector settings before hand and the way you were teaching that young man..it's great to see. This is especially helpful, when your newer to the sport. I watch a lot of videos for pointers; they are fun to watch but they're not helping me. But you are genuinely interested in helping us, thanks again and I don't have to pay hundreds of dollars off someone's site to watch and learn.
Looks like a great find guys. Always exciting to find tons of oyster shells out on a hunt. Hurry to the top of the hill an retrieve all those gold an silver coins, an buttons. An civil war relics that have been waiting for you to discover. Great adventure chigg, thanks for taking us along. Looks like it could be very promising. Can't wait to see what you guys uncover at the top of the hill. As always safe an happy hunting/digging.😁👍👍
I live in mo. with alot of osage and missouri indians. Don't think they were eating oysters here though. Wonder besides the pottery what i should also look for.
I love your videos. I'm a beginner and I live in an historic area of the Battle of Baltimore War of 1812. I learned how to detect from watching you. The machines can be intimidating. I practiced in a yard found keys a tin thimble NAILS WIRE but I had so much fun! Keep it up!❤❤. Still working on permissions who to ask where to call.
Oyster dump-where we are in Australia-the oyster dumps were usually dumps from picnic areas from the late Victorian era (1880's) where the upper classes world picnic with champagne & oysters as the Victorians believed Oysters to be an aphrodisiac. Sunday afternoon picnic area: Oysters 7 Cmpagne there I believe; its good as there should be many sodas and Champagnes. picture the famous painting ":Sunday Afternoon." by Georges Seurat
This video was neat. I've never heard the term "midden", I had to look it up. When I was a kid we found something like this out in the woods and wondered how a big pile of shells got there. Super interesting, would have been even more interesting if it was an Indian midden.
Just found you after watching Chill Bill and you, great content and very pleasant to listen to someone who can speak without inserting any nasty language into your commentary. Will subscribe and keep watching
The oyster shells could also be from a foundation of an old colonial house. A lot of older houses in my area have oyster shells in their foundations. Just a thought.
Have you ever considered using Google Earth to scope a site out before you go there? Sometimes you can find depressions, or imprints of old buildings on flat land like that. It's a surprisingly useful way to check a site out before you check it out in person.
Chigg, This dig is wonderful and it is almost archaeology. Back home in New Jersey, in Double Trouble park, I was following an old fire cut through the woods and came upon a bank of oyster shells(Did you notice how big they are in these old sites), They were either colonial or Leni- Lenape Indian ones. Not too far from Bayville,where we lived ,in Tuckerton,NJ along the old road out to a marine station, there is an old midden composed of all kinds of shells, primarily clams and oysters. It was once thirty feet high, at least a thousand years ago, and goes down under the tidal marsh another four feet. It makes our colonial finds seem outright modern:) I explored a lot of areas around the state from the late fifties until I moved here to Ferndale, WA 7 years ago, never used a metal detector, most of my exploration was State land. Have you ever discovered Archaeology that you could report,or assist in any digs? Lots of memories, Thank you ever so much. Frederick"Rik" Spector
Just an idea, but maybe one of you bring a battery operated leaf blower with you so that when you go through the old creek gullies just blow a path as you go. Maybe find some more surface surprises.
What a beauty day! Looks like you fixed your shovel? There should be some oyster mushrooms out there now? Just wondered. Still, it was cool seeing actual oyster shells falling out of that bank. Wow! 😳 How cool is that? That ring guide reminded of a baby oar lock. LOL! 😉 Foil is such a pain huh? Annoying.... 🤨 Please tell us about your sniper coil? I would love to know which model it is etc. Thanks! 😊
I love the channel..I've learned alot...it's so funny to me when you detect with some guys I can tell you are trying to be nice and give points but sometimes they dnt listen..they dnt set discrimination and so on..I see your looks to the camera..lol..jst letting you know I get it... Sometimes you dnt have to say a word an I still know what your saying..I dream of shaking your hand..
In Indiana our 3rd state capital was almost built on and around a midden site. It was so big, First Nation people buried there dead in it. The shells made the area alkaline and the deceased didn’t decompose well. So here comes all these lawyer type people digging wells and getting sick as dogs, plus malaria from the river nearby. Nevertheless, they moved on to Indianapolis and left our friends to Rest In Peace.
I love these metal detecting videos and I tell myself every day I’m gonna go buy a metal detector and I never do it why is that? I just need to make the move and do it.
To be continued...HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND I hate cliff hangers I’d watch an hour vid of yours without batting an eye reckon I’ll have to wait sigh...see you on the next one 👍🏻👊🏻
Hey man thank you for the video I enjoyed it and I have a quick question I go to flea markets and people sell old buttons but I don't buy them because I'm not sure if they're old how can I tell if they are old because to me they seem to be two lights that's the only way I can figure it out
Hey Chig, I have the Max with the 5x8 as well, if you had to guess what is the depth loss with the 5x8 compared to the stock 8.5 x11? I have used both and not seeing much loss with the smaller coil.
Does every type of metal detector need to be ground balanced? What does ground balancing do? I have a very annoying metal detector that was given to me that a friend bought at good ol' Sears. It has a constant beep which is incredibly annoying but I heard that some metal detectors do this. I also can't find any information on this type of metal detector online. And....I only have the French instructions of which I can not read, lol!
Hey pard i was detecting behind a house i was remodeling in spotsylvania va several years ago near bull run. I found a cache of coins in a depression about the size of a silver dollar but they are ferrous i think. Would you be willing to look at a picture of them? With as much as you know maybe you could tell me what they are? Ive asked several relic hunters but nobody has ever been able to figure out what they are?
hey chigg, how do you ask for permission to dig? Do you just ring their doorbell or leave a flyer? I wanna ask but they always look busy and i feel weird asking, thanks
