Eureka Chigg! I think you've uncovered the proverbial brick s**t house! LOL

@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756 5 лет назад

In my Great Great Grandfather's journal he wrote about digging waist high holes for wintering in and in his description's they "Made due with field stones first fired out of harm's way for a hearth. And eventually traded some black strap for a dozen and a half of clay brick. To which was fashioned a fine hearth for the present moment. So my guess is that they burned on the ground until they came across the bricks. Funny how they always have a black market in every war. I'm going to use the information in his journal to try and locate the encampments and battlefield's he was in.

I swear, the same 26 - 29 people keep following Chiggs videos just to click the 'dislike' button. Every new video always has the same number of dislikes. What is wrong with people that they feel the need to do that? If you don't like it, just don't watch. that simple. Keep em coming Chigg!!

If you get yourself a geophysics machine (I have) you'll be able to make an image of whats underground and scan to see if your sink-holes have caverns.

That soft stuff is the soldiers poop That hole is a septic tank They used to bury the poop it with burnt charcoal and ash from the campfire as a natural deodorizer and drop mud on top

@phillipcudd5712 5 лет назад

Great that you were able to detect that area Chigg! As you got down to that first brick floor layer which appears almost perfectly preserved I started thinking that you may have a Valley Forge type situation here. I would guess that there are almost no remaining winter camp remnants left. They really need to do an archaeological survey and dig on that whole site don't you think? Might be worth preserving...

@lindaxwrenoh 5 лет назад

i’ve been watching your videos for years now, and will never not have chills go up my back watching you dig with your fingernails, hahaha. it hurts me down to my soul

@MichaelClaridaArts 5 лет назад

Happy new year! Great video. Do you think that was a burn site for the deceased? Bone...high heat...uniforms...buttons? Interesting finds.

@xaviercamacho7888 5 лет назад

Ok so they use the charcoal well they burn wood or whatever they can and then they get all the ashes and they get a lot of ashes and they put a little bit of water and then they mix it around and put it in between the bricks so I kind of stays hard like concrete well it keeps that breaks together FYI

@chriss8206 5 лет назад

Hi I know you have a ton of knowledge on the civil war and these huts. Maybe you should remove all the bricks and do a recreation of a civil war camp hut. I would love to see what one looks like with authentic materials. I love detecting but I can't do much anymore. I live vicariously through the chig.

Hope you know your my metal detector mentor haha. I have learned so much from watching you. I'm enjoying my new Garrett AT Maxx here in South Carolina. Civil War Relics is my passion! I have detailed 1862 maps of my area and im not far from where the CSS PEE DEE was. would love to have you here for a hunt/video

@jeffbow5780 4 года назад

Great vids! Been watching for several months now and you have the best of the relic hunting site vids! I just have one thing that I wish you could or would do. I wish you could find a way to put your vids into a location type context. I was a relic hunter from 72 to 96 so I understand the protection of your sites and I have no personal interest for digging now living in AZ but I would really love to know even in general terms. Such as Stafford, VA digging a Union winter camp or Wichester hunting a ford on the Opequon etc. That's just me. I feel like it adds more excitement knowing where you are and what you're digging. A relic or a hunt without some context loses the connection imo. Just saying from my perspective. Thanks for sharing these vids!!!

@viperbroncoalmasty 5 лет назад

You digging up crematorium, there were so many dead that they burned the bodies. You found bone fragments and melted lead. No, I am just kidding. Made you think though didn't it. Keep the video's coming, started watching yours and got me old metal detector out, no civil war sites here. But plenty other places to check. Cheers Aquachigger

@honey5bucket 5 лет назад

Decades from now, a group of archeology students on a summer semester dig will be bored stiff by the lack of artifacts found in this encampment site when one of them finds a metal plate inscribed "Aquachigger was here. Jan 2019".

@TS-bn7zt 5 лет назад

It's an old crematorium with HUMAN bones right there!!!

@MrKmoconne 5 лет назад

Hey Beau. This was one of those times I sort of wanted you stop digging and maybe call in an archaeological team. I don't know how hard that would be to do, but this brick oven really needs to be dug and questions need to be answered. There was a remarkable British TV series called Time Team in which they took three days to uncover suspected archaeological sites and uncover the history. You can easily find episodes on RU-vid. Maybe there is a local college that would be willing to dig it? I know you want to uncover cool stuff to take home for your collection, but sometimes the most valuable treasure is the story of the history.

@markholbrook3949 5 лет назад

With the bricks over the charcoal could it of been some kind of oven? Maybe a beehive oven? That collapsed of course...

@WeldersOnly 5 лет назад

Your the man! I took a few years break from metal detecting but after watching your videos I've been back at it big time.

@Rig0rm0rtis1 5 лет назад

Hi Aquachigger, that could be just underground oven, or earth oven for cooking meat and such. Those are on use even on today. How it works is that you dig a hole and , on modern days, you use bricks to lay a oven like formation. You then burn alot of wood inside , until it renders to hot charcoal. You then take the hot coals aside, and prepare the food, wrapping the meat for example with wet newspaper or such, and lay it on the pit, adding few inches of dirt on top of all that. When that's done, you put the hot charcoals inside that pit and keep it up for few to quite a few hours, depending on the amount of food inside. Food will be cooked and delicious , after you dig it back up. most often those pits are built on open spaces, like that field to keep the firehazard low.

@SambarMoose 5 лет назад

New to your channel.. What do you do with all the stuff you find? Bullets and buttons and such? We don’t have this kind of history in Australia so I find it all very interesting!

@BeagleLove13 5 лет назад

With the brick and how the ground was affected by heat I would assume you found the camp forge. It would also explain all the bullets as they would be molding new ones while in camp.

@joshuataft5541 3 года назад

Man I love your channel.the only guy I can watch without getting jealous lol..if u got kids they must love you.. such a great funny guy..they dnt make em like you anymore

@jaybales3160 5 лет назад

Very nice discoveries. Hard work for you and educational for me, thank you.

@sahia4 5 лет назад

Maybe they burned the area vegetatiin and surface roots before they laid the bricks? It would be a quick way to make a clean, more level surface.

@JustJ. 5 лет назад

Why don't you have some archeologists help you out? This definitely qualifies as a site of historical interest.

@lizayers4597 5 лет назад

Could the camp originally been temporary when it started, but progressed into something more long-term?

@AdventuresInDirt 5 лет назад

Interesting digging there ...

@josephkerley363 5 лет назад

Id really like to see some archaeologists survey that with ground penetrating radar and expose some of the huts.

@xavierjacques73 5 лет назад

So when the soldiers used to pull their pants down and squat to lay a brick Some bullets used to fall from their pockets

@DirtDynasty 5 лет назад

Charcoal possibly was used to level the brick. Ive seen this older homes in place if wood shims.

@troyfranson9897 5 лет назад

pizza oven? j/k maybe they burned the area of vegetation before building on it?

@trying2hard1019 5 лет назад

Can not wait to see the road kill cave and see if it opened up any. So far that is my fav cave because it’s so Strange and I think it’s going to end up being huge.

Examine a sample brick to find when it was fired.

You could throw a layer of cellophane around it if you wanted as well.

@lesahanners5057 5 лет назад

That was really interesting Beau. Is it possible this is a winter quarters site for the Union Army? When they built their winter quarters, they certainly built huts and would have had fire pits like that. I have only read about it, but have never actually seen one, so this was really exciting to me, to think you may have come across an actual winter encampment. I know you don't disclose your locations and I don't need that, but giving a bit of a talk on what Civil War winter quarters were like would be very interesting. Great finds with the bullet and the button, but just getting to sift your hands through the very ashes of a fire-pit that hasn't seen daylight since the 1860's, is priceless! Thanks for showing us all of this. Don't worry about the yapping, it's why a lot of us show up to watch, listen, and learn.
