  • We are back on the river metal detecting with RelicManMatt. We returned to the relic honey hole and couldn't believe how many relics were left from our first trip. I was able to get some good underwater footage of relics and fish. It was a relic trip for the ages.
    As always this is a how to metal detecting outdoor adventure vlog that is family friendly and hopefully a fun video.
    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.
    I hope to see you guys out there!

    Hot dang! RelicManMatt and I got into some more fine relics. This was another trip to remember. I was surprised at how fast the patina (color) of the belt plate and cartridge box plate changed once they were out of the water and exposed to oxygen. I have included pictures of both patinas. Do you prefer the before or after color?

    Hi Chiggsley! Just wanted to take a moment to thank you. From the bottom of my heart, I want you to know your content has been bringing me happiness for years now. I really want to get into metal detecting because of you, but haven't pulled the trigger on buying a machine yet. I did however rescue an old Garrett detector from the 70s or 80s I think from my parents! It worked for about 6 minutes, and poorly I might add, before it went kapoot. Anyway, thanks for all the smiles and good humor. You truly are a joy to watch in all your adventures I wish I could share. Keep on truckin, I'm on a less adventurous quest now to taste a Paw Paw fruit.

    I would assume finding all those artifacts in the water might indicate` the possibility of some amount of mayhem that caused them to be left there. If anyone died on that spot long ago, well, God bless them and I hope they're resting in peace.

    So the artillery shell dropped in near a couple of (3?) soldiers that were riding in a wagon with cartridge boxes and rifles ect and the concussion broke the wagon spilling the contents and soldiers into the river and one soldier grabbed his buddy by the belt and almost had him to shore when the belt broke and he left it behind as he carried his friend to safety?…… I liked the original color of the red one the other didn’t change much but they both look great regardless comgrats guys what a day.
