      Chigger is a good guy, but he has definitely changed over the past fews years or so. He went from a guy that shared his amazing ability to find civil relics, to more of an adventurous guy that makes videos based on RUclips views. I don't really blame him because I would chase the money to, but Beau is definitely different than he was in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016,

    The drills or Jumper marks would be to blast local stone to work with and build the bridge. Bridge looks to be made of same stone as the bank.

    Nice old bridge, I do love those arches. Any day being outside with the Chigg is better than staring at the four walls, even if you don't find anything. It is snow on the ground socked in winter here, so it is always nice to see a Chigg vid post, it takes my mind off of having cabin fever and going stir crazy. ha ha ha ...actually we are in the middle of a new house build, and the house sits just ten feet from our present back door, so it's been busy, busy, busy. Cabinets are supposed to come in this next week, as the interior painter just got done. Then it's on to the flooring. I am so looking forward to moving day, as this under 850 sq. ft. space were are in now has me just about climbing the walls. There are just thirteen steps from the back to the front, but I am thankful for the roof over my head, as it sure beats living under a bridge. Glad you chose to scoot on out of there. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

  • @CatalinaThePirate
    @CatalinaThePirate 5 лет назад +28

    Halfway through this 'adventure' I was sitting here wondering whether we (you too, 'Chigg!) had all lost our minds, us watching this guy attempting to magnet fish under a neat old bridge, and the guy just not having any luck but doggedly soldiering on... And it came to me that the guy with the magnet at the very LEAST (even if he was finding nothing) was doing something *interesting*! Even if you aren't inclined to take the word of some nutcase (calling herself a pirate), we are all OKAY. 😁
    So the guy with the magnet didn't catch anything but rust. He got out to do something! And ya never know, he mighta found a small iron chest full of gold! Heh! We're here doing what we are doing (watching, fishing) because we have hope that gold will be there...
    Nothin's wrong with dreaming... 😎

    I went with the 200lbs white nylon anchor rope. It's pretty snag resistant and easy to toss with which is nice. Being from Walmart it's OK as far as strength. I use a small 120 lbs Neo magnet so I don't end up ripping it, stretches pretty good near it's limit.

    The flooding may have caused blockages that the city. State, or county may have had to clean out taking many older finds out in the process.
    Also the blasting may have been done to enlarge the river basin to reduce the chance of flooding.
