Your videos are so much more than metal detecting. You are great at explaining to us what you see, why you pick certain spots, and of course, proper detecting etiquette. Thank you.
Oh, I'm watching him dig the flashlight reflector (not), and then wiping stuff off on his pants (but missed the seam), and then, and then..... he finds the p. mantis egg mass and teaches us all about it. You just gotta love this guy!
A special silver-plated spoon you found Harry M. Stephens 1856-1934. In 1887 he founded H.M.Stephens Inc. was a food ballpark concessionaire, He sold German Sausages known as dachshund sausages at the New York Giants game April 1901 he ran out of wax paper had one of his employees buy some buns..Place the hot dogs in the buns Today know as the hot dog A cartoonist who was at the game didn't know how to spell Dachshund, so wrote hot dogs instead. Resources from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_M._Stevens
Beau, I feel honored to have been watching your channel for 2 years now. You are one neat guy and as a metal detectorist myself I owe a big thanks to you as you've taught me a lot. #HoldYourBreath -Julia
We hated badgers almost as much. When I was growing up on the ranch, We had a badger dig into the side of our biggest irrigation ditch, it wound up blowing out and ruining several acre of wheat field. We called the game warden who came and live trapped it and moved it to another location. In the old days gramps would have just shot it.
I'm so excited to find this channel, I've learned so much in this one video. You truly are a teacher; and your wisdom is flowing so much I don't even think you realize it lol. Seriously, thank you!
You probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any tips you can give me.
@Cristian Jadiel I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I've already found two egg sacks this year and have marked them because once the babies come out I like to encourage them by moving them to my plants I mean to eat the other bugs
The worst thing about groundhog and gopher holes is in the spring when the calves are running around like goof balls playing with each other and put their foot in one. Then you have a calf that cant walk very well that you have to catch and try and find out whats wrong etc etc
I tell you Beau if you were out West near eastern Washington, I would swear you were finding my grt. grandpa's twin brothers wood stove. Maybe the poor fellow lost his stove the very same way?! I put the newspaper article below. This truly happened! The Dalles times-mountaineer (newspaper) The Dalles, Oregon December 17, 1892 Walla Walla, Washington Dec. 10 James O'Donnell, residing on Upper Dry creek, 10 miles from the city, had an unpleasant experience with giant powder. He was using tbe powder to dig a well. Thursday morning he found tbe powder was frozen up. Placing a stick on the stove to thaw, he sat down by the stove to read, when suddenly there was a terrific explosion, which knocked him off the chair onto the floor. When he recovered from his dazed condition he found the stove scattered all over a 10 acre field, no piece being larger than his hand, and the cabin almost as badly demolished. O'Donnell escaped injury.
Sadly no, I was born in 1959, before the Pern saga's came out. My Dad named me after my identical twin sister. Her name is Linda Lee, she was born first. He was stumped as to what to name me so took the first two letters of her middle name, and the first three letters of her first name, and I became Lesa Lin. He thought he was a comedian. Bullies in school used to chant at us, Linda Lesa, Linda Lesa, Linda Lesa, until I beat them up. LOL I love science fiction tho, so maybe I should just fib and say I am from the The Dragon Riders of Pern. It would make for a much better story. ; - )
Well that name has certainly added interest to it. LOL I think bad comedians ran in the family. My grt. grandpa's name was John, together with his identical twin brother James, they were known as the, "Sons of Thunder", much like the Biblical brothers. However, their father was so wealthy back in the day, he was known as, "King James." Too bad the money evaporated somewhere along the line before I was born. LOL This same bunch were rather wild, which is why they had a cemetery for horse thieves on their property. I kid you not!
Hi Aquachigger! I'm Ed and I just wanted to say that I am a huge fan and I have loved watching your videos for quite a few years:) If ever you fancy doing some ww2 metal detecting in Hong Kong (I know it's far away) please let me know it would be awesome to have you over here and to take you out on some of our local detecting spots. Cheers! Ed.
Love your commentary on people leaving trash they dig up, don't do it folks or someday soon there will not be anywhere to hunt! Regarding ground hogs; they have to live somewhere and I'm pretty sure they were living there before people inhabited the area.
I admire the fact that you're able to live where CW Camps are accessible. Unfortunately living in Illinois (Chicago) really old cool places are nearly impossible to find.
Remember Chigger you are showing the Kids the safe way to dig, so please wear your gloves all the time. So, tired of them saying Chigger doesn't always wear his gloves. Thanks !!!
That looks like an old Ronson lighter! I'm a collector and that is a good find, could be around mid-fifties or so(so not really your wheelhouse, but still neat!). If you don't want that one I'd be glad to have it, I could try and restore it to be able to light again. I've done it before!
True the train follows you wherever you go, , I think that was a great treasure day!, thats my kind of hunting, it not always about the coin.,,,,,, would be sweet though. Tag was awesome, yah buddy.
Hold your breff. I thought your coat said Nugget. Ahahaha I found a valve stem end too. You're gonna have perfect pants minus the seams except at 22:00.
Vin- R yup, waiting on a beautiful butterfly to emerge in my bedroom (I was 6), only to wake up to ten thousand tiny mantii I love the creature ... outside, where it belongs
On my soapbox now regarding leaving metal behind, even small pieces, that could get baled in the hay. It's not good, and can be fatal, not to mention costly for the vet call. So take all the can slaw you dig or see and let the farmer know you're helping.
Okay Beau here's the skinny on your spoon, Harry M Steven was a concessionaire Who is credited with inventing the hotdog and the baseball scorecard, his concession company supplied a large number ballparks in the United States from 1884 to 1994 when it was taken over by Aramark. Harry Stevens died in 1934 and was one of the foremost ballpark concessionaires in the United States. P.s he emigrated from England to Ohio in the 1880s.
Love the sound of them trains that keep finding you... LOL... Every night around 2am or so I can hear the faint sound of the train horn about 4 miles away... Love that sound. As a kid up in the N/w sticks of Missouri on a nice clear quite night if the wind was blowing just right you could hear the lonely sound of a train whistle some 10 or so miles away in the middle of a hot summer's night, We would seek out and sleep on the roof because it was to hot to sleep inside... That was back in the early 60's... Ain't nothing there today but a pile of aches some punks went through the country side sitting all the old houses on fire in the 90's they never caught the punks...
That sounds like a lot of fun sleeping on the roof. Stupid idiots always have to ruin somebody's property. They will get caught someday. Karma is a bitch. 😡
Harry Mozley Stevens (1856-1934) was a food concessionaire from Derby, England who has been variously attributed[1][2] [3] as the inventor of the hot dog, but has nevertheless been credited with being America's foremost ballpark concessionaire.[3] In 1887 he founded Harry M Stevens Inc., a stadium concessions company which was based in Cranbury, New Jersey until it was acquired by Aramark on December 12, 1994.[4]. Possibly the maker of that spoon?
Not only farmers hate them. Ground hog dug huge hole at the edge of my flower garden. Not realizing it was there i stepped in it & almost broke my ankle. If i could have caught that beast it would have been his last day on earth. Unfortunately i couldn't shoot him due to many houses close by
try to find the family of that dog tag--wow so awesome--and to think of the person who walked with it around his neck at war--unreal--great find and hope you track the family to that person.
I just noticed That camloc fastener with the mickey mouse ears is a fastener typically found on quick access panels usually military helicopters.. Maybe that is a dogtag? Not the way I remember them but I retired in 97...
That Rob guy, he's o.k. The heart-topped brass item is probably a canteen or water bottle stopper made at the turn of the previous century. Might have a patent date on it.
Beau, there is a new audio artifact in the video that sounds very similar to the clicking of an 8mm film projector. Did notice the sound stopped when closely examining the spoon. It's just loud enough to be distracting. Thought you should know.
A chick that louder come out in the thirties and forties and I just wanted to compliment you you are a very very educated man you know a lot about everything or a little about alot everything and that's that's one of the reasons I like watching this channel if you don't know what it is you can kind of make it up but it sounds good God bless you and keep up the good work oh by the way I'm from Arkansas
Like the Dog tag find, by its shape, not knowing if you are a Vet or not I would like to share the following, I would say that is a post Viet Nam War issue. My first issue had a tooth notch in one end. When we went to using the SSN as our serial numbers I was issued the new style, which is the same shape as the one you found. There are usually 5 lines of text on the newer ones or at least on mine. The Navy tags are 1) Last Name 2) first and middle name 3) service number 4) blood type and gas mask size 5) religion or N/A for those who do not practice a religion. The Army tags were the same except it did not include on line 2) middle name, Initial only, and on line 5) no gas mask size. //es// A Veteran, 1965-1994 USN, USAR & USA
Don't feel bad Chigg, I invited a buddy to detect a new property and he found a Civil War Era Belgian boot Derringer...... I was happy for him, but disappointed that I missed it.
That's an interesting old red house in the last scene. Hope the fender bender folks are okay and have INSURANCE! Would those gopher holes be made by badgers maybe? A few of them sure look big for gophers.
Wow that was a civil War bulit i never knew thats what they looked like but i know a spot where there everywhere i might be on a battle ground idk but i found little metal balls before i think there musket balls
Hey chigg, that thing that looks like Mickey Mouse ears is a petcock drain from an old radiator. Btw, what came of the thing a viewer sent to strap to your leg and wipe relics on?

That train in the background is just chiggin' along...

VERY good point about detecting etiquette, Beau! It's good to see you laughing!
I'm so excited to find this channel, I've learned so much in this one video. You truly are a teacher; and your wisdom is flowing so much I don't even think you realize it lol. Seriously, thank you!

@Cristian Jadiel it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Gannon Jedidiah Happy to help :D
I've already found two egg sacks this year and have marked them because once the babies come out I like to encourage them by moving them to my plants I mean to eat the other bugs
Good example of troubleshooting a difficult field. Thanks for taking me along!
Willy on the railroad track, the engine gave a squeal! The engine driver took a spade and scraped him off the wheel. Poor Willy!
I like it when you git on yer soap box! People need to HEAR the good word of Aquachigger! :)
I always enjoy your videos as they are very knowledgable and entertaining thank you for sharing
Great hunting Mr chigger ! Love the videos! I am so impressed by how much you upload!
There's that train again. Lol
whhoooo whooooooo!!!
Yeah those trains sure love Mr Aquachigger !
Wasn’t s treasure trove but a good day to be alive and outdoors. Stay awesome,
You are the man!!! Love your videos! Just recently found your channel and have been binge watching😂 great stuff!!!
The worst thing about groundhog and gopher holes is in the spring when the calves are running around like goof balls playing with each other and put their foot in one. Then you have a calf that cant walk very well that you have to catch and try and find out whats wrong etc etc
Good hunt Beau. bullets,tag,lighter and spoon, skink free. ;)) Bring him to the creek when it begins..;)) ATB
Love watching you dig for civil war relics but I have to say, I do miss your bottle hunting videos.
I tell you Beau if you were out West near eastern Washington, I would swear you were finding my grt. grandpa's twin brothers wood stove. Maybe the poor fellow lost his stove the very same way?! I put the newspaper article below. This truly happened!

Lesa Hanners, awesome story!
btw, were you named after the character of the same name in the book The Dragon Riders Of Pern, by Anne McCaffrey?
Sadly no, I was born in 1959, before the Pern saga's came out. My Dad named me after my identical twin sister. Her name is Linda Lee, she was born first. He was stumped as to what to name me so took the first two letters of her middle name, and the first three letters of her first name, and I became Lesa Lin. He thought he was a comedian.

It sounds like you are having an interesting life! 🙂
Well that name has certainly added interest to it. LOL

This same bunch were rather wild, which is why they had a cemetery for horse thieves on their property. I kid you not!
Wow, that's so cool. You should write a book about the adventures of the Hanners clan! I would read it 😀
Thanks for another video! Snow is finally melting for me so I can go find some treasures myself. Keep finding them relics!
You go Rob,keeping things safe👍🙋 Good job
Where did you get your shovel? I'm looking for a narrow one with a foot step and a curved scoop .
Hi Aquachigger! I'm Ed and I just wanted to say that I am a huge fan and I have loved watching your videos for quite a few years:) If ever you fancy doing some ww2 metal detecting in Hong Kong (I know it's far away) please let me know it would be awesome to have you over here and to take you out on some of our local detecting spots.

We used to fill groundhog holes with a liquid manure spreader..And wait for then to come up and use there livers for Catfish bait,,,
Love your commentary on people leaving trash they dig up, don't do it folks or someday soon there will not be anywhere to hunt! Regarding ground hogs; they have to live somewhere and I'm pretty sure they were living there before people inhabited the area.

Train train train !!! DING DING DING!!! BOOO BOOO hihihi :) Good vidéo :)
Even The masters have to work hard at it, but still come out with good stuff,
Beau you better remember to start using that seam to clean those bullets.its to early in the year to be going through pants lol.great video as always
Remember Chigger you are showing the Kids the safe way to dig, so please wear your gloves all the time. So, tired of them saying Chigger doesn't always wear his gloves. Thanks !!!
That looks like an old Ronson lighter! I'm a collector and that is a good find, could be around mid-fifties or so(so not really your wheelhouse, but still neat!).

Don't forget you got that lead at beginning too. 😊
True the train follows you wherever you go, , I think that was a great treasure day!, thats my kind of hunting, it not always about the coin.,,,,,, would be sweet though. Tag was awesome, yah buddy.
Hold your breff. I thought your coat said Nugget. Ahahaha I found a valve stem end too. You're gonna have perfect pants minus the seams except at 22:00.
It's an old Out-House! If you dig any deeper, you'll find some real burred treasure. Lol, Hold your breath!
I loved finding the toy revolvers!!!
😊😆👍👍👍
Never ever take a mantis eggmass home... and yes, that hasn't hatched, you'd see a billion openings.... a billion!
I speak from experience.
CD 1 been there done that!
Vin- R yup, waiting on a beautiful butterfly to emerge in my bedroom (I was 6), only to wake up to ten thousand tiny mantii
I love the creature ... outside, where it belongs
Beau, dude . Look at the pic at the beginning of your video. You’re glove is in the hole and it looks like someone is reaching up out of a grave.😆
On my soapbox now regarding leaving metal behind, even small pieces, that could get baled in the hay. It's not good, and can be fatal, not to mention costly for the vet call. So take all the can slaw you dig or see and let the farmer know you're helping.
Yay u didn’t get Skunked! Happy Happy Happy

Aqua, you might want to make a checklist. As a pilot, I have a ton of checklists, in the car after getting to dig site, one at home before I leave.
Not part of a flashllight, but a finish cover for a door knob , nice video.
Really like the dog tag cool find 😊
Harry Mozley Stevens (1856-1934) was a food concessionaire from Derby, England who has been variously attributed[1][2] [3] as the inventor of the hot dog, but has nevertheless been credited with being America's foremost ballpark concessionaire.[3] In 1887 he founded Harry M Stevens Inc., a stadium concessions company which was based in Cranbury, New Jersey until it was acquired by Aramark on December 12, 1994.[4]. Possibly the maker of that spoon?
That first piece you found was the top of s periscope! There may be a civil war submarine out there somewhere!!
A. Bad day of hunting better then a good at work🤣
awseome adventure today aqua! I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND A CIVIL WAR BULLET AND I REALLY WANT ONE.
Not only farmers hate them. Ground hog dug huge hole at the edge of my flower garden. Not realizing it was there i stepped in it & almost broke my ankle. If i could have caught that beast it would have been his last day on earth. Unfortunately i couldn't shoot him due to many houses close by
Another great video from the Master.
try to find the family of that dog tag--wow so awesome--and to think of the person who walked with it around his neck at war--unreal--great find and hope you track the family to that person.
H.M. Stevens spoon could be worth something! He invented the hot dog.
Rob is using the same sling bag I have!
That spoon is silver it was made 1900-1909. I looked it up by the name you gave me.
Nice Jacket 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hey, Chigg! Glad to be here early for another amazing video!
H.M. Stevens was the name of the owner. The little writing on the other side was manufacturer.
I just noticed That camloc fastener with the mickey mouse ears is a fastener typically found on quick access panels usually military helicopters.. Maybe that is a dogtag? Not the way I remember them but I retired in 97...
Dig around those foundations they are more recent then the civil war camp but no one has ever looked under them For relics .
The bits was a brass corner pipe
Makes me angry too when a few spoil it for all.
That is not a flashlight part. It looks like an escutcheon plate for a lamp, which is usually held on by a finial.
That Rob guy, he's o.k. The heart-topped brass item is probably a canteen or water bottle stopper made at the turn of the previous century. Might have a patent date on it.
that stevens spoon is from 1900-1909 and they sell for like 30$ per spoon
Enjoyed the video ... thanks
Beau, there is a new audio artifact in the video that sounds very similar to the clicking of an 8mm film projector. Did notice the sound stopped when closely examining the spoon. It's just loud enough to be distracting. Thought you should know.
Nice vid Chigg thanks!!!
Trrooollllll train!!!
You never know what your going to find but you won't know until you go.
That’s probably a Civil War Era copper pipe fitting 😁. Or, maybe, not.
A chick that louder come out in the thirties and forties and I just wanted to compliment you you are a very very educated man you know a lot about everything or a little about alot everything and that's that's one of the reasons I like watching this channel if you don't know what it is you can kind of make it up but it sounds good God bless you and keep up the good work oh by the way I'm from Arkansas
Think your first find was a Hash pipe from the Rock concert back in 69!

Hi I love your channel can u do more of these videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What machine were you using 30 years ago?
Sweet dog tag find Chigg
Hi Chigg frim the UK, south shields. That modern thing you said looks like a hot water bottle screw lid
Please tell me how Oyster Shells come into the picture with old settlements. Just starting out. Thank-you!
The screw stopper is identical to an early boy scouts nickel plated canteen I have so keep it.
Don't feel bad Chigg, I invited a buddy to detect a new property and he found a Civil War Era Belgian boot Derringer...... I was happy for him, but disappointed that I missed it.
That lighter looks like a Ronson Standard. I have my grandparents' Ronsons that are from the 1940's, so yours could have some age to it.
That's an interesting old red house in the last scene. Hope the fender bender folks are okay and have INSURANCE! Would those gopher holes be made by badgers maybe? A few of them sure look big for gophers.
I have a friend in Shenandoah Junction. Shenandoah Junction~~~ What's your function? (Couldn't resist)
60% of the time you forget something every time! 😁
Another good video i learn alot from these 😊
Great video!
Noticed that old abandoned house in the background at the end, have you hunted around that?
Thanks Emma
Wow that was a civil War bulit i never knew thats what they looked like but i know a spot where there everywhere i might be on a battle ground idk but i found little metal balls before i think there musket balls
Nice Led Zeppelin reference.
Hey chigg, that thing that looks like Mickey Mouse ears is a petcock drain from an old radiator. Btw, what came of the thing a viewer sent to strap to your leg and wipe relics on?
It's a top off an aerosol can ,nor a flashlight reflector .
