  • Mike and I metal detect a large encampment area and find many treasures and relics.
    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.

    The thing you thought was a Clevis is a piece that hooks onto the hames on a mule or horse that the trace chain was attached to to pull a load . The hames had several different locations for them to hook into. The hames fitted onto the collar of the mule or horse

    Another Aquachigger Adventure appreciated. The Williams cleaner reminded me that a good friend recently gave me one and of course I had to learn more and discover there are 3 types. It's a different experience to actually hold a bullet (he gave me a few others) to feel the weight and know a soldier had to carry a significant load. It helped me understand why you always love finding bullets. Thanks, Beau, for another day of looking for and finding some great artifacts.
    Edit: I'll never come close to being first as the notice "dinged" 19 minutes after you posted. Just happy to be able to watch your videos.

    Chigg..the small spikes are likely from narrow gauge logging track's..there line's were often moved and relocated as the timber petered out in one area..

    • @taxesdeathandtrouble.1886
      @taxesdeathandtrouble.1886 2 месяца назад +1

      Yup. The logging outfits didn’t use plates either, they would just roll up the rail behind them.

    • @Gonzobuddy
      @Gonzobuddy 2 месяца назад +1

      Here in northern Michigan, from the 1870"s, the railbeds are loaded with mostly damaged spikes, nuts, bolts and sometimes joiner plates that held the ends of the rails together. After 25 years I'm convinced the loggers either didn't carry money to work or just didn't have any.

    Hello Aquachigger, I'm moving to your area, soon, and I'm currently here until the first week in April. Do you have any pointers on how one could find places to go metal detecting in this area? I'm currently staying in Waynesboro, PA, at my mom's house. However, when I move, I'll be living in Jefferson, MD. Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated.
    Also, I, truly, enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for showing us what you've found over the years.

    • @aquachigger
      @aquachigger  2 месяца назад +1

      You will have to ask permission from someone whether it's friends, family, neighbors or strangers. Jefferson is a great place for CW relics.

    • @BearVine
      @BearVine 2 месяца назад

      Thank you for your help. I suppose I'll have to ask strangers because my sister is the only one I know, here. I detected part of my sister's yard, but, I only found trash. The part of her yard that she would let me metal detect, I think may have been fill dirt from when they dug her basement when the house was built. There's a dairy farmer right behind her house, so, I think I'll ask him if I can metal detect his fields. Also, across the road from the dairy farmer, there's a house that was a Civil War hospital, and, it is currently being restored by an historical society to be used as a museum. So, the dairy farmer's field should have relics.

      @taxesdeathandtrouble.1886 You are right. Metallic cartridges were very common even by the end of the war. It seems many were cut down to make poorman's shotguns for bunnies though.
