Old House / Old Memories: Metal Detecting My Past
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 фев 2019
- This old house is one I remember fondly from my childhood and now have the opportunity to reminisce of days gone by as I metal detect the yard, walls, and floor in search of ancient artifacts. I do find a really neat whiskey "pumpkin seed" bottle as well as some other interesting treasures.

The pumpkin bottle was amazing!
When my Dad changed out the old windows in our house back in the 60's I remember that he pulled out clothes that were stuffed between the walls, I guess for insulation. Also the original windows were with the weights. The stories that went with this house and 2 acres property was the old timers who live back in the day, when people would maybe stop there to water their horses &rest, that sometimes the buggies horses would be there but the people disappeared! There were several wells that were filled in so anytime I'd come home after dark I'd be afraid til I got into the house! We lived out in the country, the next house nearby was a couple of fields away, it was built in the 1800's lot of history around there. So when you find old things I recognize a lot of your finds. Thanks for sharing! Stay safe!
great video Beau!!!! I think the tool you found at about 21:55 is called a "Slick". It is like a large chisel with about a 18" handle and is used to take bark off logs and to flatten out the notch on the logs after the axe roughs it out. At least that is what this eastern Kentucky boy has always been told. Love your adventures brother!!!!
maybe Maw or Paw was hiding their sipping whisky inside the wall.. or maybe laudanum.?
cool find, love the pumpkin seed
I love old houses. I tried to get permission to look around an old house I lived in at Bonesteel, South Dakota but was denied. The owner was good enough to show me the inside. It sure brought back memories. Keep up the good work, I love your videos.
I am afraid to run into the same misfortune of being denied access to detecting around my parents and grandparents homes of years ago. It is the love of discovery though that keeps me hopeful. Happy hunting!

Hi Chig, I'm from the UK and I just saw an advert on TV for the show you're going to be on next month. I can't wait to watch it. I'm a huge fan. 👍
Would be cool to see you run some of the dirt from the "tool shed" though your screens.
Love those old home & barn sites! Great finds on the little flask bottle && the can.....a salve or balm....probably came in the can! But some spices came in those to! Yes a Great place to go back & hunt through! Love as Always! Still catching up! Wait for....MOAR!
Nice work Chig thanks for taking us along
The cut copper would have been used to patch holes in the exterior walls. My great grandfather had a homestead in Western Oklahoma back in the depression. The house was wood with copper patches on the exterior and tin cans were used to patch the interior walls.
Thanks for the instruction and education, Aquachigger! Looking forward to you new adventures!
Love the creepy aspects of abandoning old house , I love exploring old and abandon house videos from you
The Mr was hiding his drinking from the Mrs!
In the summer kitchen, the little metal container looks like a spice tin.🌷
My first inclination was that the chisel like tool is a "slick" but they are used for timber framing. As this was a log cabin I'm more inclined to say it is a "bark spud" used for peeling bark off of logs. You wouldn't leave the bark on logs as it would draw in bugs and start the decaying process, so bark was removed. Looks a bit short (blade) for a slick too.
That big flat beveled tool end that you found looks like what my dad called an ice spud. He used it to make ice fishing holes in the days before ice augers.
Thankyou for sharing.
Wow! Just scouting around like you did was fun to watch. That place looks like it was well constructed at one time. Very interesting! Thank for the share!✌️
Worth going back 2 over and over. Cant wait 4 u 2 unearth more rusty history.
Another great video Chig! You should probe for the old privy holes, usually great bottles in those!
At least I'm not the only one who gets excited about square nails.
That bottle is so cool! Love old bottles!
I have a hard time excepting someone would give you a thumbs down chiggs.Makes no sense to me love yah Chig
5,000 views in 5 hours?! Wwwooowww!!! I'm so glad ur videos helped u make it to TV! I can't wait to see you on TV!!! Stay safe my friend!!!! #4stateforever! CONGRATS BEAU!
Totally cool excellent job thank you
Hi Beau! Johnny says that the chisel looking thing could be just that or he says it could be called a “framing slick” for doing the mortises and tendons on the barn, or a “mortising chisel.” That big pottery piece looked like part of a crock. If you find the other pieces, it would be cool all glued up. I would love to see that. 😉
Sorry to see that you had a malfunction at the end. I kind of chuckled when you wrote about it being the end of the video. It reminded me of the time you were filming that flash light challenge video with us...”That’s the end of the video”....LOL! 😂
So exciting to learn and explore with you. X
Great video mr.chigg keep digging and stay safe!
That's pretty cool! The best thing about metal detecting is seeing cool places and just being outside!
That flask might have been hidden in the wall during prohibition..
Snarkapotamus Yes, that’s what I was thinking, too. Someone’s stash waiting for Mr. Chigg!
A man after my own heart. Boy, I love this stuff! Exploring abandoned properties and metal detecting! I love history and finding old things from the past. I love all of your videos Beau! I'm originally from Wisconsin, and this video, plus many others, really take me home. Take care. I sent you an email earlier.
i got that same exact pumpkin bottle... its a Whiskey bottle from early 1900s probably in the wall due to Prohibition. Awesome Hunt love old home digs!
Thanks for posting Chigg
That's nearly another half hours sleep iv lost to the Chigg.
Lol. Great video it was worth it!!
It's amazing how fast time flies when you are metal detecting. Doesn't matter if you don't find anything great.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Happy Hunting.
beautiful day for a hunt! thanks.
Loved this one
Love these videos. Been watching for ages.
How fun to go back to a childhood haunt. Stay awesome.
this is really cool!
I really like your videos. I've seen everything.
I have Ace 250 metal finder.
I will never be able to find a search engine.
Cool old place! I'd definately go back!
I so love your uploads. I am watching old and new. I first saw you with Si finds on the shores of the Thames in England I can definitely say that you looked like a fish out of water in comparison to your adventures back home. Keep them coming and never ever forget to KEEP ON SMILING.
How anyone could give a thumbs down really doesn't get it and doesn't need to be here!
Sandy, who gave him a thumb down? Yeah, that ain't cool. I love Chiggers video's.He has a cute smile.

Thanks Chig,!
I hate when your videos are over,not ready for the adventure to end
And love that pumpkinseed flask
Lot of times people would hide stuff in the chimney rocks. My granny used to keep stuff in the rock like that. I love old houses like that. Great places to look around so much fun to.
Awesome !
Great video , love to see those old rotting buildings, never know what you might find , brilliant 👍⛏
Sweet!!!
You got the saw 😁
LOVE the pumpkin seed bottle!
1:22 thats scary on the left side fell a piece of wood
Looks like there could be some cool stuff to pull outta there.
Some of the best junk is found in the old dump spots n under porches, and under the fireplace and in the wells
Shed walls
Nuggetnoggin would have that whole floor cleared to the dirt.
Mason jar lids ,lead to mason jars full of coins !!!!! Dig dig dig.
Remember to always check the fireplaces for hidden coins 😃
Still love your song!!!
Great bottle!
Chigg. Get u an iron probe rod when u look for bottles stick it in the ground and u will hear it hit the glass. Might work for that area especially. Fun hunt.
I love your videos so much
At--17:49. See the long thin stick? If you look up from your sleeve you can see a little bit of metal that looks gold in color, about in the middle of the thin stick in that dark part.
Just to let you know , the fill between the logs is called chinking . Usually mud mixed with straw .
Excellent video 👍🙋 🕊️👏👌
Cool bottle!
Wow never seen one of them bottles. Nice find.
Hanging out in an abandoned house in the 70s well that explains alot
Awesome video Beau and that is one real neat place to search around for sure.

I’d like to see one snow here not seen enough to cover the grass. We’ve had just this month of Feb 10 inches of rain. It’s rained for days here. Flooding everywhere.
That saw blade is awesome! I let my 12 year old niece swing my detector around some old foundations on my dad property and she found one too!
Glad there were still some old bottles to be found, even if some were newer. Hope you don't get too buried with snow, we are here, and it just keeps comin' down. I got out for a bit of thrifting and picked up a couple of small oil paintings from a local artist, who passed away in 2006 or thereabouts. While doing research I found a coincidence that her husband worked together in the same sawmill in this tiny town out in the boondocks, with my grt. grt. grandma's brother. The paintings are of places I rambled when I was a kid, and so I was happy to be able to get them both for under 20 bucks. Going outside and finding things is such fun in the good weather months here, but not so good or safe in the winter. Thrifting kinda helps pass the time until spring.
This was really an interesting prowl Chigg, I hope you get to go back and you take us along with you. Too bad the camera fouled up, but that's just typical of Murphy's Law. What can go wrong, will!
LOL At least it wasn't a leak in the new plumbing, done by a carpenter, that my hubby had to fix this morning. The dude put a flooring staple right through the water line. Had to cut the floor open and fix the mess. Right royal pain in the neck that was! We were just glad we caught it before it really got bad. At least our new construction doesn't look like that sad ruin you were crawling through. I was afraid it would come down on your head at any minute and was on the edge of my seat the entire time you were in there. Take care Chigg and watch out for rusty nails...ha ha ha
I loved the pumpkin seed bottle! Why did people always stuff bottles into the walls and under the floorboards of old houses though? I've watched several old houses (late 1800s early 1900s era ) around me be demolished and I would always find fragments of old medicine bottles and really old marbles under them. Found a super awesome old liquor bottle in the wall of one once.
In my neck of the woods, in the old days home owners would dig trash holes in their yards. We were digging these out mostly for bottles, One of our diggers came across a diamond ring about two foot down. It was valued at $1500. He gave it to his wife. You never know what you might find.
Awesome location!
Wow them logs are hand hewn to. I’d love to have them.
YAY!!! AQUACHIGGER!!
That's a real adventure playground you got there Chig. Hope you get something really cool next time. ATB MMMD
Those logs look exactly like giant Lincoln logs!
I think that wooden "paddle" was a cheese scraper from when cheese was made in a trough.
That small building looks more like a smoke house than a summer kitchen.
Really cool video!
I know of a few old bottle dumps that before that was an old car dump up in Cooktown down a road that cannot be driven anymore due to erosion, the road is basically a 2-3 metre deep ravine spanning from the road then to a path to the school and further ahead to the old car dump then bottle dump, if I was gonna start metal detecting in Australia that's where I would start, you find weird things there my mother as a kid found a ceramic dolls head that would of had a woven body that rotted away. I feel kinda jealous of America because compared to Australia you have way more history, our only cival war was eventually squashed by the government in a single town and wasn't as broad of a historical event but instead serves as piece of our rebellious nature as Aussies. What I mean is where I live I have to travel really far to find any land where something significant happened enough to metal detect, where as in America there were cival war camps all over the country and of course battlefields, we have hardly any, most of our battles were more of a scuffle anyway.
Looks like a Watkins salve box. I used to sell that stuff when I was a kid years ago many years ago.
1 million subs congrats
Seems like good sifting territory.
Lead fishing weight s used to come in those tins.
Thanks Beau we met in PA....quimette
The hawk sounded awesome.
Looks like that could be a chunk of a rim of a big storage jar, at the end.
I have found a lot of bottles, but never a pumpkin seed bottle! Hope it cleans up well.
Some good stuff will be coming from that homesite I bet.
I love Detteccion
Relics, coins ....
🇧🇷
That’s a “slick” aka a large chisel for wood. Primarily for large timber frame joinery. Cool find
What was that sound at 15:46?!?! I had to rewind it a few times to make sure I wasn’t tripping! Great vid Chigg I love these type with homes.
Now you got me wanting to skip ahead
It may have been beau not sure
It was Ching making a noise getting up and moving around
Yeah, “Doydee”
That’s a good one!
REECEDA I typed in Chigg the auto correct put Ching ( I HATE that auto correct)
I live outside of New Castle PA and work out of Austintown Ohio so I'm in your neck of the woods and I got to say watching your videos over the last year or so I'm very interested in trying out metal detecting. Wish me luck!
The bones are walking up the cellar stairs!
I never have found MORGANS before, and have been metal detecting since the 1990's and about two weeks ago I dug up a small metal box & two $10. 24CARAT Bank Notes, and 8 Silver Dollar Morgans all in near perfect to perfect (?!) condition. A Head was rated just by the man & his team by useing accupple of pictures rated the 1879 Head at 67 to 70. (70 rating being the best, I think he said) ( Walkers, Sitting & Heads Morgans )
Those log homes are cool fun memories Mr. Beau!!!!
