I know that boat ride back to your truck was probably not too much fun. I DO appreciate the trouble you go to to bring these adventures to us. Your river hunts over the years have been nothing short of amazing and fascinating. Keep up the good work Chigg!
You posted you'r video just a 12'o clock at nigh over here in norway, love your lifestyle man keep it up, been a sub from the early start, all and loooong before your Discovery TV-Show, back in the old days, that's the thing i like with you 2, you havent change your channel or behaviour becouse you got fame and all, still the same old down 2 earth and a real man✌ Not many of us people left in this dog eat dog world that it has come 2.. Stay healty, we need you☺
Don't know if it's the right word, 11:30 tool was used to hue logs for buildings, my grandpa had one when I was younger. Great video as always! Thank you Sir!
Quality stuff Beau, really enjoyed this camping trip to Beefcake and Potato, some great relics along the way too. Happy Fossicking mate! Warren and Colleen.
Great video , thanks for uploading it. The bright side of the rain .... you weren't going to get any wetter 😆 Might have gotten a couple lumps from hail though....🤕
Hay chigg man. Great video as always. We just can't get enough of the river scenes and finds. Well looks like we found the rain or it found you. Hay, at least it didn't rain you out at your camps. It held off till it was about time to head out. That's alaways good. If it would have just held off till you made it to the truck. The old axe head looks like a tree splitting axe. They used them for several different types of tree splitting. Quite different from one that you would use to chop down a tree. They were used to split timbers for all kinds of different reasons. Just depending on what they were making or building. At least you didnt get skunked. Always a great day on the water no matter what. We'll have yourself a great week. An as always safe an happy hunting.😁👍👍
yay part 3 i hate when i get done watching your videos because then im all out of your videos to watch. i have watched them all from day1. such awesome content.
Nothing like ending this with a bang, well a super storm anyway. Are you sure you weren't wet enough?! That sky was cracking open like Hilo, Hawaii. Bet you were glad to get in out of that and get dry! Just seeing you on the river made my day!
That axe is for splitting rails for split rail fences. You would get it started and hit the back with a hammer or a wooden maul to split the trees into long sections they called rails. The edge is far away from the handle so you could sink it the tree and then use metal wedges to finish the job.
The axe is the kind used for the hollowing out of logs for canoes,pontoons,etc. I think......kool relics anyway.....GL and HH Beau....Say hello to Bobby Wobbles...lol.....and Fiona of course...
He went over it in a video a longgg time ago. It was really cool. I believe it was a subaru engine (not a boxer, just a small engine like a briggs?) it has been a long time but it was really cool
It's a Suzuki with inboard propulsion. Which is why it can go in such shallow water. I think on the newer models they moved the propulsion jet outside the body making it not as good for the shallows...
You always amaze me how that every time you go out in a adventure the elements creep up and bite your bum and you're still ahead of the game! Oh I really dig that canoe boat your driving it reminds me of a amphibious vehicle (truck) my ex owned that dated in the 40's he sold. Keep up the smile!!
The thing about axe heads is that many shapes have many uses, but the most common use for an axe shaped that way was for cutting joinery. That doesn't mean that's what it was intended for when it was made, sold, bought, but it is shaped that way for being more nimble.
Fine looking axe. Look up Collins Legitimus Axe single bit...almost a tomahawk style. It would be great if there is a makers mark on there....might show up after you clean it up.
Aquachigger: Love your vids... been following for years. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, do a segment on that awesome boat! I've seen you explore so many places in it, running rapids; going with the flow; carrying all your needs. Just wanting to know what is the make.. and model... and customizations. I'm Holding My Breath... LOL
Who cares what metal it is, not all cool finds are precious metal. A 150ish year old horse shoe is awesome. I love your videos. If you are ever down by the NY PA border my son and I would love to meet you or watch you detecting stuff. Stay safe.. I look forward to your videos.
I assumed it's his way of involving the viewers. That way when he finds something it's not just "look what I found" it's "look what WE found" making the viewer feel like they're right along with him.
Any recommendations for Garrett Ace Apex vs. Nokta Makro Simplex for first detector? My dad has an AT Max and I like it but I was looking for a little cheaper machine.
I believe that axe you found is called a turpentine axe. that was the type of Axe that they use specifically for splitting trees making turpentine. You can look it up but I honestly believe that's what it is.
Johnny says, “Cool! A trigger and a tang!” That item shortly after looked like a weight holder for the weights on a large weight scales? It always amazes me how many horse shoes and axe heads you find! Johnny thinks it might have been a framing axe? Sorry you got caught in the rain. Glad you got out of there safely. 😁
You found a corduroy road, which according to Wikipedia is "A corduroy road or log road is a type of road or timber trackway made by placing logs, perpendicular to the direction of the road over a low or swampy area. The result is an improvement over impassable mud or dirt roads, yet rough in the best of conditions and a hazard to horses due to shifting loose logs."
Could the canon that isn't a canon actually be a canon? I understand the south had very poor equipment. Is it possible someone did them a terrible big gun and it broke apart either transporting it or when it was being fired? That wire type thing reminded me of an old leg snare my x used to do for small critters but I can't picture it anyone, its been years. Just ideas.
Surprised any wood from that bridge survived that long. The crossing must’ve been used for decades after the Civil War. Also, that must be black locust wood, which lasts a long time.
I know that boat ride back to your truck was probably not too much fun. I DO appreciate the trouble you go to to bring these adventures to us. Your river hunts over the years have been nothing short of amazing and fascinating. Keep up the good work Chigg!
You truly are a modern day adventurer, thank you so much for taking us with you!
You posted you'r video just a 12'o clock at nigh over here in norway, love your lifestyle man keep it up, been a sub from the early start, all and loooong before your Discovery TV-Show, back in the old days, that's the thing i like with you 2, you havent change your channel or behaviour becouse you got fame and all, still the same old down 2 earth and a real man✌ Not many of us people left in this dog eat dog world that it has come 2..

Thanks - I love the videos where we get to go on the boat ride with you! Some cool finds too!
Great video as always
I always enjoy these rainy videos! Just something about storms I've always enjoyed. Keep the videos coming! I enjoy them all!
Love it love it!! Relics and the Chigg in a rain storm!!! Now where talking 👍🏻👍🏻 Classic Beau on the River! Thanks for the adventure! Be safe and HH🎧⛏
Don't know if it's the right word, 11:30 tool was used to hue logs for buildings, my grandpa had one when I was younger. Great video as always! Thank you Sir!

Oh! Mister Chigg that rain was awfully cold on our backs! We were soaked to the gills by the time we got back!
Great video! Some nice finds!😃
Love sitting on the front of your Mokai when you are in the river .. great view. 😀
I love rain storm chigg bits. Makes me feel all cozy to be warm and dry while watching.
Great video Chigg be safe and GOD BLESS you and your family Amen 🙏
I believe the wire bent in the middle and hooked at both ends is used to hold chain link fence to the post
Marvin Rowland Or a T-post.
Or Fred Flintstones TV antenna
I used similar for attaching fence to T-post
I think its actually to scribe wood...
Just as good of an ending as expected, Chigg your one dedicated relic hunter. Awesome
I think your axe 11:10 is a mortise axe, used in to make timber frames.
You the man Chigg and a good one. Thanks for sharing.
Best Find...Each and Every bullet
👍😁👍😎👍😁👍
Thank you! Loved it.
hey chigg if you don't know already that little hanger at 12:27 is a fence tie like you would use for barbed wire
Loved it all..but the ride up was beautiful..thanks!
Glad you made it home to Bobbi Wobbles and Fiona!
12:10 the hook thing is a wire tie to tie your fence wire to a t-post.
Great video , thanks for uploading it.
The bright side of the rain .... you weren't going to get any wetter 😆
Might have gotten a couple lumps from hail though....🤕
12:04 That "U" shaped hanger is for holding wire to a "T" post fence. Modern.
Chigg the rainmaker.... AGAIN! 😁 That wire thing looked like a soldered battery electrode.
Nice relics chigg. The mimi ball sinker and the ax head.👍
I think that thing you called a "hanger" is to tie fencing. That axe was cool.
Hay chigg man. Great video as always. We just can't get enough of the river scenes and finds. Well looks like we found the rain or it found you. Hay, at least it didn't rain you out at your camps.

Chigg you love the water🤜🏻🤛🏻enjoyed watching
beautiful nature.
That axe is for splitting rails for split rail fences. You would get it started and hit the back with a hammer or a wooden maul to split the trees into long sections they called rails. The edge is far away from the handle so you could sink it the tree and then use metal wedges to finish the job.
that rain on the river, very relaxing to view.
the axehead might be a mortising axe for rough cutting mortise joints in timber framing logs
It’s great to see you back in your element
It was so satisfying to see you kayaking in the rain. Ive always enjoyed doing that
Wondering if what you found around 9min in is a snare of some sort.
Great video love all the videos you are the best hope you keep the great videos coming
Is the axe perhaps a type of mortising axe, used to cut a mortise in a joint? Could possibly have been used in the bridge construction?
@Aquachigger What kind of snake at 5:11? It looks like a Kuhli loach--a nonnative eel-like fish from Asia.
The axe is the kind used for the hollowing out of logs for canoes,pontoons,etc. I think......kool relics anyway.....GL and HH Beau....Say hello to Bobby Wobbles...lol.....and Fiona of course...
Metalican 67 I believe that would be a Adz not Axe.
@@rockhunter6260 I am speaking of the kind used by native Americans....which are Axes...
The barb wire thing I think is a worm gig hook it to a batery and stick the nail in the ground and worms come out the ground??
Aquachigger’s a honey-badger on the water. That dude’s so tough and relic savoy he should invited into the Explorers Club.
That load of timber sticking out of the riverbank looks like a corduroy road.
I'm curious about that motor propulsion system in a boat
me aswell.
It's a motorized Mokai kayak.
He went over it in a video a longgg time ago. It was really cool. I believe it was a subaru engine (not a boxer, just a small engine like a briggs?) it has been a long time but it was really cool
Mokai are made in NY. 7 hp Subaru engine, jet drive impeller. Not fast at all, but can go in very shallow water. I have the same year as Chigg
It's a Suzuki with inboard propulsion. Which is why it can go in such shallow water. I think on the newer models they moved the propulsion jet outside the body making it not as good for the shallows...
You always amaze me how that every time you go out in a adventure the elements creep up and bite your bum and you're still ahead of the game! Oh I really dig that canoe boat your driving it reminds me of a amphibious vehicle (truck) my ex owned that dated in the 40's he sold. Keep up the smile!!
Man love your videos, glad you are able to do what you enjoy. Take care and keep safe.
Wow..look at you run that mokai. You're like the " captain Billy" of mokais.😁😁😁😁
Another successful hunt.
Always great videos. I love the history.
The thing about axe heads is that many shapes have many uses, but the most common use for an axe shaped that way was for cutting joinery. That doesn't mean that's what it was intended for when it was made, sold, bought, but it is shaped that way for being more nimble.

Thanks chigg
Another amazing video I hope that their going to be loads of river videos and treasure
Great adventure!
Gotta get me one of those boats!
5,600 bucks. Trying to talk my gf into a couple. They're really sweet!
@@mikehunt8375 good luck! Ummm... Mike.
great adventure!
Looks like a dowsing rod; they were looking for water. Haha ;)
I watched last night (yet again) the movie Deliverance, and now I see you canoeing down a remote river. If you hear banjos, run for it!
He can outrun them! I’ll put money on the Chig being very prepared in the event of evil doers.
you are in Germays History Channe a new TV Show... gratulation and greetings from Germany Bavaria
Rain rain go away, follow Chigg another day!!!! MOAR 😁🇺🇸

Hey man thank you for another good video
Man I wish I was out there digging around, just imagine how much stuff is buried that might never be found. Beautiful area too. 🤿🛶⛏🏴☠️👨🦯
Who cares what metal it is, not all cool finds are precious metal. A 150ish year old horse shoe is awesome. I love your videos. If you are ever down by the NY PA border my son and I would love to meet you or watch you detecting stuff. Stay safe.. I look forward to your videos.
You didn't say hold your breath, I nearly drowned!
Nice trip, and laughing at the hail storm ⛈:)
The copper wire with a pin looks like part of a snare trap
The Chig says “We” a lot but it’s just him on many of these trips. Keeps evil doers guessing I’m guessing. Love his videos! For years now.
I assumed it's his way of involving the viewers. That way when he finds something it's not just "look what I found" it's "look what WE found" making the viewer feel like they're right along with him.
That's is one thing i like so good about him he includes the viewers in his videos, by the way he is talking, good man that chigg.
We meaning you and i.
He means us and him.
8:00 I think that's a piece of a Civil War exploded artillery shell. That's an awesome find, shame if u left it, understandable though.
Good finds Chig !!!
9:00 I'm thinking some kind of trap trigger.
my thoughts too, especially if there are little furry things like beavers swimming around in there
Chigg getting wiped out by a storm 😂
Would like to see an update of your relic collection.
Interesting. You came up with a pin pointer at the last of the video.
That wire hook is probably for fencing with steel posts
Great adventure
Hi. What happened to the cave you was digging out. iv been waiting and waiting to se if you go back down.
8:10 Looks like a weight from the cable of a crane but it might be to old.
That metal hanger is what keeps barbed wire on a tee post
What metal detector would you recommend for a beginner? Thinking a Garrett 400. What kinda boat is that? Thanks. Enjoyed the video.
Any recommendations for Garrett Ace Apex vs. Nokta Makro Simplex for first detector? My dad has an AT Max and I like it but I was looking for a little cheaper machine.
I believe that axe you found is called a turpentine axe.
that was the type of Axe that they use specifically for splitting trees making turpentine. You can look it up but I honestly believe that's what it is.
You are correct, I collect vintage tools and came to comment the same thing.
that piece at 8:00 could possibly be a bearing from a wagon wheel ??
The wire thing maybe a snare????
9:04 a snare? 11:24 just a guess but could be an early splitting maul.
The beginning was like a James Bond movie!
Good hunt. What brand of boat is that?
That wire looks like a type of snare for trapping
keep it comin beau
Safety first!
the wire was a trigger for a snare trap...
Johnny says, “Cool! A trigger and a tang!”
That item shortly after looked like a weight holder for the weights on a large weight scales?
It always amazes me how many horse shoes and axe heads you find!
Johnny thinks it might have been a framing axe?
Sorry you got caught in the rain. Glad you got out of there safely. 😁
how do you charge your batteries during these long solo trips ?
You found a corduroy road, which according to Wikipedia is "A corduroy road or log road is a type of road or timber trackway made by placing logs, perpendicular to the direction of the road over a low or swampy area.

The James Bond boat...
Is back
Surprised any wood from that bridge survived that long. The crossing must’ve been used for decades after the Civil War. Also, that must be black locust wood, which lasts a long time.
