  • Today, Grizz and I met for the first time to explore and metal-detect an old farmstead near a major battlefield. That didn't pan out, so we journeyed to another site and started finding some great colonial relics and copper coins.
    About Aquachigger:
    I like to make videos that promote my lifestyle of 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. I keep my RUclips "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.

      Chigg, I would love to run some of those flat buttons through electrolysis for a minute of two. I have seen a guy do it and you would swear it's flat and a pattern appears. Worn and stuff, but you van make something out.

    The piece of copper pipe as you called it. The pattern kind of reminds me of the pieces of pipe on the old wind chimes.
    Your modern bullets made me wonder if youhave ever been asked to help in an investigation? Just random thought.
    Lastly think it's time maybe you should design a Chigg's Army metal detectors vest.

    I really like the addition of the text explaining what the items are during the photo montage at the end! On a random note, I've always wondered what the permission agreements are like with property owners when it comes to finds. Do Chigg and friends get to keep everything they find, no matter what it is? What happens if they find something truly valuable like a cache of gold coins, a diamond ring or a treasure chest of valuables and the owner says "hey, you found it but it's on my property so it belongs to me"?

    • @aquachigger
      @aquachigger  2 месяца назад +1

      Permissions vary. Usually it's keep what you find or go to the next place, but I do make exceptions for special properties where I feel it's good the let the artifacts stay with the property. I have a series coming up like that.

    • @BoshiYoshi
      @BoshiYoshi 2 месяца назад

      A bit is 12 1/2 cents (one eighth of a dollar coin). That coin would be a 1/2 of one cent/penny.
