It's amazing, that probably 1000 people have rummaged around that old house, and you are the only one that found the musket barrel hiding in plain sight

It seems that Mr. Todd loses quite a few things when he's waffle stomping around in the woods. Great video! Thanks for taking us with you!!

That thing is most certainly restorable you should see the rust buckets that get restored here in pa, if that truck was in pa it would be a pile of rust by now.

@SlimPickins_07 3 года назад

Yeah definently not beyond restoring, but you would never get your money back. They are awesome trucks and very collectable, but don't bring muscle car kind of money. I want it though lol

Well most people aren’t as smart as the Chigg! A musket barrel sitting in plain site and only the Chigg knows what it is👍🏻👍🏻 Well done Beau! I believe the place is worth another search! If something civil war related is there the Chigg will find it!! Thanks for sharing! Be safe and HH 🎧⛏

@timelordmagnums357 3 года назад

We just dug around an old log cabin from the early 1800s and dug so much random stuff - car parts, rusty bits, old hammers, etc. Enough to fill 5 5 gallon buckets and all we found was a thimble and a Dandy button worth mentioning. So I so totally feel you my man. LOL I think I lost 3 lbs from digging today so at least got that :) LOL Hope you are enjoying WV. I'm from Logan (coal country). I'm related to Devil Anse Hatfield and the McCoys also LOL.

@415s30 3 года назад

I don't think the doors etc.. are reproduced, I have an M37 which has the benefit of more stockpiled parts. I'm pretty sure you would have to see what Vintage Power Wagons has in their used stock for body parts.

@district9detector56 3 года назад

Another good adventure guys, I’ll probably bring both my AtMax and Apex out this weekend. That power wagon was neat as well. We still use those in the fire service. We have 2 that are active brush trucks and are in pristine condition. They literally can climb and comb through any terrain over our modern trucks.

Since youre knowledgeable about them; any idea what model Beau was looking at there? And if its restore-able or if its rotted beyond repair? Im not much of a car guy or maybe id know the answers to these questions lol.

Used to drive a Dodge Power Wagon. Top speed 35 MPH, would drive over anything, every trip ended at the chiropractor (and that was when I was 21!). Forest Service used them for fire fighting for some period.

Saw this Dodge Power Wagon type around the Air Base at Tuy Hoa where our HQ for the 101st was. The Air Force had that type. I was there only a few times but I remembered how cool the truck looked. Amazed I remembered this part of the bad movie I was in called " The adventures of a reluctant Draftee " filmed in the Central Highlands Republic of South Vietnam MMCLXVI.

That would be worth a look see under the floor. Woodworking guys would like to salvage the logs though. Now, as to the Power Wagon, it is still very restorable. It’d take work but not beyond saving and restoring.

@tomfrazier1103 3 года назад

Those compacts are all over a huge WWII era dump. In the summer of 1941 the Honolulu municipal incinerator broke down, so all the trash was taken past Makaha & burnt. I even dug up a small 14kt wedding ring, a friend eyeballed a Walking Liberty on the surface. During the War years if you cleaned out Auntie's old room & rented to a war worker for a good rate. Honolulu was an oversized honky-tonk town "For the duration" so a lot of careless loss? "Wartime" Coke bottles are a common find. It covers acres and gets fifteen feet in places. Metal detectors are not recommended, all sorts of machine shop scrap.

@getin3949 3 года назад

My brother has restored 6 model A's and T's so far. I can't remember the models but one of them was a Torpedo and believe you me, they didn't look half as good as that Dodge. He sold one of them to a guy in England for $86,000.00 and one for $65,000.00. I don't know about the other ones but he will only use original parts, no finagling of anything.

That gun barrel in the fireplace was something else Chigg, and here we thought our generation were the inventor's of up-cycling. We've got nothin' on those folks. Thanks for another fine adventure in the weeds with Todd. It seems like there's nothing like the West Virginia brush for swiping your accoutrements. It has to be annoying to him to spend so much time looking for his tools. I hope he found some relics, seems like the barrel was a good one for you. I hope you figure out and tell us what gun it came from, and hope you can return to investigate under the floor, and the rattlesnakes haven't holed up under it for the winter.

@richardperkins6132 3 года назад

Another couple awesome places to check out an see what's hidden in the dirt. Wasn't the best day of finds but still nice places to go back an check out another day. The musket barrel was really cool find an the copper compact. I found one just like about six months ago on an old site that dates back to the 1780's. No mirror but a complete compact. We just never know what well find until we are out there digging it up. Great video chigg. As always safe an happy hunting/digging.😁👍👍

Interesting to see how deer season is in other parts of the country. Yours appears much later and longer. Ours in the PNW starts much sooner, it actually already ended nearly 2 weeks ago. (Modern rifle anyway idk about blackpowder). Must have to do with the mountain ranges and fast season change out here or something?...

@JS-wc4xs 3 года назад

Don't know if it'd helpful out where you are, but I've been using US TOPO Maps app for finding old homes, ruins, cemeteries, settlements, etc. The app is pricey at $14.99, but it's well worth it imo. The best map/overlay is "US topo traditional DRGs", it offers older maps showing you what used to be in a certain location. I hope this helps someone
