You should do a video where you clean up the things that you find! I think that'd be interesting, but maybe that's just me :)
A friend of mine from years ago was telling me about a graveyard his grandfather was buried in. It was a smaller, family style graveyard and had fallen into disrepair while my friend was in the military. Well, after he finished his twenty years in the military and moved back home, he decided to do some repairs around the graveyard. So, he went out there to start working and saw there was a very large hole in the ground where his grandfather's grave was. While he was walking toward the grave, a fox came up out of the hole with a bone in his mouth, and the bone was obviously a human leg bone. Cripes!!!My friend left, got several bags of concrete, some water and supplies and returned to the graveyard to fill the hole with concrete. He never told his family about it.
fox returns, digs next to his old hole and steals the rest...he accomplished nothing by using concrete except for ruining the grave more. lol
Wow, what a great comment. Maybe you will win an award for it or something.
+John Brown maybe you will too!
really sad but interesting
I want the iron pile. Im a blacksmith... I love using. old.. rusty. dirty metal. cleaned up and forged into a knife. it gives the blade or tool more character and possible story.
The "caster" is for a sliding barn door, it goes between a race and a track. One on each end of the door.
Great hunt and nice assortment of finds. You do a great job with your videos, always enjoy watching them.
What are the names of the headstones? People doing genealogy research are always looking for their ancestors, please tell the names.
Beau, the hunk of metel your holding at 11:52 is the front split plate to a civil war gatling gun. This was used to keep the barrels from changing pitch during open fire.
I really enjoy your videos. I am learning as much as I can because I am moving to Vicksburg Mississippi. Bought a Garrett AT/Pro and plan to do a lot of hunting in the area. You inspire and motivate me quite a bit!
he took the guys deer mineral block lolololololololol
The knobby looking thing is part of a mule or horse harness. The flanges are for sewing into the harness body, while the knob accepts a slotted piece of leather like a trace or rein. Nice find!
My thought exactly.
Great finds in a neat location Beau.Like the coin. Keep the great video's coming.
GL & HH
What a great site! Graveyard?! That's really neat. I have a property that was inhabited from the mid 1800's and am un-patiently waiting for the weather to break so I can get out and detect.
How nice and calm your speaking voice is in these older videos. Much more enjoyable to listen to, IMO! :)
You put out some good videos man.some of the best in this category.keep up the good work.
that feed thing is a salt block put in a deer lick. A deer lick is a place where deer lick the mud to get the minerals.
I had fun!!!! I have an brass swan thing from 1800's and I think it goes in a potted plant.
+Aquachigger -- I am not familiar with all the ins and outs of RUclips - but for new subscribers who want to binge on your older videos ... it would be REALLY nice if you could create playlists by year so we could jump right to what we wanted to watch ... just an idea...
That's one cool site and it was a very interesting video too. looking forward to seeing what else you find there.
Merry Christmas!!!.
John.
Nice videos Beau, the narration is great and the camera is steady- no motion headache! Keep up the good work!
Real nice finds and another great video. I should have my T2 SE around Christmas.
Keep um coming.
Thanks, David
As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video! And I support this site. ~M~
that has to be one of the coolest button dig up reveals ive ever seen at 9:10
love watching these because you know its not fake or set up
Hi Beau.
From what I remember , a penny in the ground (especially in a damp area) will build a circle of oxidation around the coin in kind of a ball in the dirt that can give off a strange sound.. Saw a drawing of the once, made sense , the reading is faultered because of the dirt built up with oxidized materials .. Loved the video.. Eugene
Another great video Beau..thanks for the T2 tips..see you at DIV in march.
Good variety of finds there Beau!!! The water must be pretty cold. You're having to resort to dirt diggin'. Good practice for DIV !!!
That was a very exciting hunt with some amazing results. I'd say that the civil war breast plate, the swan-necked spur and the baggage tag are the finds of the day, but the coins are always welcome I'm sure. It looks like you have a great site to explore, so I hope you uncover some more juicy nuggets of treasure. Thanks for sharing. GL & HH :D
Nice Vid AC,
I saw the swan head in preview, thought it was gonna be a hood ornament
like one I found LOL...
keep up the great digs :) Herbie
the round thing with 8 edge holes and a central hole is the front part of a minigun
AWESOME MENAGERIE HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!! VERY INFORMATIVE THANKS!!!
Circular iron with circular holes all around it may be part of a planter. For seeds to drop in timing to cause an even planting group. Maybe. Don
Great video. Need to see more field hunts from you!
Thank you for showing how you set up the detector. I have a teknetics and I need to learn how to use it
Man, what a great place to hunt!! I love my T2! I did not know you had one.Really cool reveal on that button! Really cool large cent!! I found one today myself. Coins are my favorite. Great to see the T2 in action.
Jim
I enjoyed this video sooooo much. I love ole homesteads. Thank you!
That brass ball thinger that you found looks like a decorative dress spur. Was a common thing after the civil war for retired soldiers to wear them with their uniforms during special events.
I've really injoyed your hunts. I have been hunting for years off and on. I've never done all that well. Keep it up. I would like to have just one day as good as some of your bad days. I live in chattanooga TN.
like when you explain as you detect. always learn things from watching your videos!
Hey Beau, I'm just throwing this out there...but could you possibly write in the description what all you find in each dig? I know it would somewhat spoil the surprise, but I thought it would be cool if there were a list of the artifacts found...especially after you clean them and research what each piece actually is. Just a thought. Love your videos!
Well I am a woodworker and a student of history so I tend to love old tools...lol... Thanks for the vids. You do what I can only dream of...Not many areas out here to find good military relics in Montana...Someday though I hope to make it back East.
Thanks. I'm really looking forward to seeing a recap! Also, I love this sudden stream of content! Hopefully you'll be able to scavenge all the good stuff from this site before others find it.
At 11:53 I'm pretty sure is part of a Gatling gun big hole in the middle for the thing that spins in the middle and smaller holes for the barrels
That is a real neat swan spur--wow!
I know several old old homesteads holler at me one day I’ll go and watch while you run the detector I’m goin to try to get me a detector soon
is that a ghost in the top right corner of the screen?it looks like a little head.oooooh!
Great video.Look forward to seeing more.
It is difficult to say the least when faced with an abundance of iron. Vandals torched the old home on the family farm. A metal flashing used on the roof melted resulting in slag of various shapes and sizes. Don't know it's composition but it fools every machine I've tried, add the iron to that......If you come south I have an opportunity
In the fire places there were metal grates that lifted the logs off the brick. I think that you found a foot off of one of those grates.
love your videos and I am 11! I think it is entertainment for all ages!! Keep making awesome videos!!!
New property owners some times will not allow ingress or egress to cemetery on their land. In our family case new owner took down stones and used them for landfill.
the thing at 1:32 is a mineral salt luck for animals. A hunter could have put it out since the salt will draw the animals - not too much is available naturally in the wild.
I like the way you clean the things :)
I have been detecting around our property in the Eastern Sierra for years. Since everything tends to look the same in the forest soil, I use a rare earth magnet on a stick, or tool head, to quickly recover iron objects in the soil. Any find is interesting up there, at 9400 feet in elevation, be it an artifact or just junk. Great videos!
That last thing you found looks like a receiver hook aka the piece of the phone you hold against your ear would hang from it when your not using the phone. And I also believe that other thing with all the holes were also used with phones to separate the wires. Remember the first phones had a hand crank which operated a small generator which would ring the bell at the switchboard operators station.
its called a bluetooth
That first thing with the knob on it looked just like the swan spur you found later. Just appeared to have 1/2 broken off.
Nice hunt and good coins found. Enjoyed video.
That is the kind of place that I really like to hunt! Enjoyed it!
Nice hunt! Loved the large cent! I'm hoping I may get lucky enough one day to find one... at this point, i'd settle for an indian...! Close, just not close enough... thanks for sharing and keep swinging...!
My right ear loved this!
Colebug99 Same! ;)
Ikr
😄👍🏼
Great finds!! that swan spur is cool.
Nice finds!! I would be thrilled with that.
Looking at that round plate with equally spaced holes reminds me of the plates that held the barrels of a gattling gun in alignment.
That's what I said
awesome stuff...cool place love to see more findfs from there
Dang AC, great way to start the day with an Eagle Breast plate. The swan Kids (?) spur is really neat to. Nice site, I'm sure there is going to a few more killers in there! Thanks for sharing your dig....
Thanks for destroying my life. I stayed home from work for 2 days just to watch all your videos. I can not get enough of them. Please post more videos :P
Great video, Aqua!!!
Nice finds. I have to admit that I did cringe a little while you wiped the large cent off. lol... Great video :)
That brass thing looked like a piece to a decorative piece of furniture
At 6:31 I believe that to be a pacifier
kinda feel sorry for the farmer working his tail off back in the day plowing with his draft animals, and the meager earnings he has , he drops in the field. a few cents to us, maybe a few days wage for him. OUCH!
thats the part of an old musket, the part that you put over the gunpowder when you shoot
Enjoying your videos. I have been intrested in this since I was a kid. I may get a detector this summer.
Thanks for sharing your hunts with us. And thanks for using a good camera. Its a bummer when we get to watch a good relic hunt on You Tube through the eyes of a crappy camera. Thanks again, Geologyjohn
Beau . Great finds . Breast plate , spur , coins , well done ! I can understand not rubbing silver coins , but old pennies ? How can it hurt their value ? Well done , thanks for sharing !
OK for the Gatling Gun folks. Most Gatlings were made of BRASS and had 5 or 10 barrels. Could not believe that I just looked at a video where the guy was asking for opinions as to whether he should metal detect/dig a grave yard! I know Chigg has more respect.
Im so jealous of that soil. I dirt fish in Arkansas, or a better name would be Rockansas. So much rock here, in yards it's very difficult to cut a clean plug.
The piece you said looks like a part of a hoe looks more like a broken adz, there are several variety of adzes, if it's curved it would be a Cooper's adz they are for making barrels and bowls. The straight variety were used more in standard construction, like when you had a let in brace, sometimes called a cut in brace.
Also your fancy button with the off set hole, many decorative buttons ( this side up) would have a second eyelet to fasten it in a manner in which it would not rotate. If you go far enough back in time all buttons were only decorative... The button hole was a relatively new invention.
11:52 it seems a piece of an old Gatling gun
When young I had lived in Asia and people there used to have their relatives buried in their front garden - strange custom...
nice, so there was a civil war camp near the (use to be) house?..Just Love History and to know these things ..so Interesting..thanks for sharing..
The round disk with the 10 or so holes looks like it's part to a Gatlin gun.
Yea. it does
Love your videos!
Very nice first find!
that one piece that had all the holes in a circle and one hole in the center looks like it could be off a gatlin gun
Nice video ! I've had the T2 for 4 years, very good machine ! had some nice finds with it. I'm swinging a white's DFX 300 right now. Ever been in Europe metaldetecting ? You should ! Keep up the good work and happy hunting. Greetz from the Netherlands. John
after seeing that swan spur im inclined to believe that brass ball thing you found earlier is also a spur
oh cool
happy hunting
chigger did you check out the dates on any of those headstones ? I'm a major history buff and just love those family graveyards and old home sites.
I know this video is kinda old but that thing you found with the ball and kind of cradle stuck together looks like a guide of of a wagon set up for the reins to go thru. Am I right?
Did it look like to you some suspicious holes covered by tree scraps near the hd stones IMO some one dug them up for ??
Nice finds!!!
I knew of a family cemetery when I was younger that had civil war vets & war KIA buried there and the owner did not care and let cattle destroy it.I did document it by photo's eons ago the youngest KIA was just 16 yrs old.It's a shame people do not care enough to fence around these old cemeteries and protect them.But good video's you post enjoy them a lot !
Getting caught up on all the Chigg I can "dig" today!! Saturday, August 11, 2018 8:36am LOL
did you find out what the round thing was with the 8 hole around and one in the middle was? I think it may actually be a Gatling gun barrel mount if you look closely at the business end of one it looks like the bracket that holds the barrels together
Hey Chigg, just wanted to drop a comment, I recently got a metal detector after watching you religiously for about 2 years its a really cheap model, a bounty hunter tracker IV but I hope to get a Minelab or Teknetics soon, but until then I'm stuck with what I got, I was just curious on how to look for good spots, the few that I think are good have a good bit of trash, like old pull tabs, cans, farm equipment, etc though one spot that I only started to dig for about 15 mins I got like 3 square nails so maybe that's where all the old treasures are haha........ happy hunting.
+Aquachigger I think the block you found is a salt block its used for deer hunting
how disgusting that owner of that property should keep the trees off of the grave area at. least . sad
Maybe they felt it was best to let nature take its course, bc they didn't want to disturb the graves?
That don't make sense girly
you don't know the owner of this property is at fault for the run down cemetery! That's a judgment. Perhaps he's elderly? Disabled or in bad health....You can't assume nothing is known until you at least check with findagrave to see if it's been censused and photos taken. If not, lets not trash someone for not taking care of an obviously pioneer cemetery plot please.
your not alone man your with us
On that brass item........was there a hole in the bottom of the ball? I'm thinking maybe this might be the top of a pole to rest a rifle muzzle on to take a shot. Hope you can figure it out.
for the anchor button it could be one of these.... U. S. Lighthouse Service Insignia button, coast guard button and some army transports used anchors on there buttons. and the little hole looks to be someone had them made into earrings it looks like post holes. and the swan head looks like a pot hook, i have an old fire pot with something like that just not as nice
At 11:53 in the vid, your holding a piece of iron, at first glance I thought it may have been off of a CW gatling gun, but not enough holes, anyway, great stuff you found, hope to see more from this site!
Great videos! You have inspired me to buy a metal detector! :)
