  • Rob and I head out to explore a section of the Shenandoah river in search of a couple river crossing areas and we are hoping to find some evidence of a battle that was fought in this area during the American Civil War of the 1860s.
    About Aquachigger:
    I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
    metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my RUclips "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
    BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

    It never ceases to amaze me all of the crap human beings will throw into the rivers - course, in the 19th century and before, they probably didn't think twice about it. But with moderns, it sure does piss me off!!!
