- Join me as I display many of the ax heads I have found over the years while metal detecting. I'm not real knowledgeable about them, but try to give a few tidbits of knowledge that I think is probably right.
Here is the book I mention in the video: amzn.to/2kvaUwD

your vids are very therapeutic for me. I suffer from PTSD due to war trauma, and watching your videos helps me focus on other things. Thanks so much.
Thank you, Paul, for your service. I also find the content of his videos a nice distraction from daily stress. He's so entertaining and informative. Take care!
downtonviewer Thanks for your support!
Thank you for your service and I'm sorry you suffer so.
Paul Troiani thank you for serving

Loved this video. I come from a lumber and logging family and have really gotten into metal detecting. Finding old broke crosscut saws and axes is so cool.
Huh, now I see why I've never found an axe head... you've found them all lol.
I take that back! I've dug 3 axe heads since that comment lol. Pretty exciting!
I've never found an ax head but i have found a complete cross cut saw.
I found 4 axe heads buried in my yard. Maybe they break a lot. It’s a acre in Oklahoma where no history at all took place. I wasn’t using a metal detector, this was just gardening. Also 3 shovel heads, a whole wheel and tire, a large 4’ x2’ steel grate, and about 2,000 lbs of floor tiles. Lol. I guess people just burry trash.
The largest is a "goose wing" broad axe for squaring logs into timbers. That style is rather old, and it looks to be in really good shape!
good eye. broad ax had an offset handle too
It's a breitbeil not a goosewing that is another type of broad axe. Common mistake. The axe is probably from germany or austria.
This is by far one of my favorite videos of yours. Would love to see an updated video on axes
You never cease to amaze me! You have an out standing collection which every time you show them off truly blows my mind! Ive metal detected now for 25-30 years and all I ever find is coins, cans, tabs, toy cars, bottle tops, and scrap iron! Nothing to brag about to say the least. But of course Im still a slave to the work force and have limited time to explore! I love your vids and your collections. You are a metal detecting icon!!!
Lizzy Borden would be impressed with that collection.
I'd really like for you to take us on a tour of your entire collection. I love your videos Chigg. Keep it up.
This is one of my favorite channels ever and I've been with you for the journey a while now and I just want to say thank you for entertaining me all this time
Me too he is good company and the scenery is also wonderful :)
Found my first Ax head and found this video... didn't see an exact match but gives me an idea of styles... thanks!
when the smith draws out the blade { makes it longer and wider} they use a cross pein hammer that alignes the grain .....nice collection
Wow, very cool. a lot of intersting history on that table. Thanks for sharing👍
Beautiful collection. I love ax heads. They have hard work written all over them. There is something very satisfying about splitting wood.
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing your collection with us.
thanks for sharing your collection. Very cool finds. I check your channel every day for a new video. Thanks Bo
Interesting recording Chigg, always wondered about all the ax heads you collect, thanks 👍🙂
Awesome video, Please do a coin collection video! and or a American Indian artifact collection. Also civil war tokens and counterstamps haha.
That was fascinating. You wouldn't think that there would be so many variations for such a utilitarian tool. Thank you
That really big axe in the middle is a Hewing axe. They are used to flatten out a log to make straight sides on them.
your videos are really informative aquachigger, thanks.
OMG!!! I love love love the huge one in the middle (reminds me of an executioners ax) and the other large one to the left!!! Very impressive collection!! I LOVE old tools of any kind.
I was really looking forward to this video. Great Vid Chigg.
Super cool - thanks for the upload. I love a nice axe - some of the double bits are nice, and the hatchets.
I love the big ax....how awesome. All your videos are so informative and I really enjoy them. Can't wait for you to get out in the water again.....
Had to share this with my brother, he's an avid axe collector. He'll be stoked to see this.
Good one. Enjoyed the history and goodies.
Thanks for sharing your collection. I for one find it interesting and hope to see more collections in future videos.
Finally someone who does not consider big iron targets as trash!
Beautiful collection. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! Never thought I'd enjoy seeing someone's axe-head collection. Absolutely superb too! You must have done a lot of detecting to get that many axe-heads and I see that you really look after them too. Thanks for showing us.
absolutely beautiful collection worthy of many museums. the steel axe allowed for the making of many things that advanced our civilization very fast.
Not boring sir... absolutely interesting and unique. Cheers brother!
awesome video, very cool!!! Thank you, Beau.
thanks for the great video, really enjoy what you do.
Very cool! A very valuable tool back then and today. Thank you for the video.
I forgot to say just how beautiful the axe heads are! Thanks for sharing.
It doesn't matter to me what you put in your videos, it's always educational and entertaining! Keep it up & thanks!
Great axe head collection. Thanks for showing them
Great video!! I just found my first axe head and this video was very educational.
thoroughly enjoyed this video. I have been watching all of your videos while recovering from major heart surgery.
I would enjoy more videos such as this one - for example uniform buttons.
that was cool I've never really thought much about axes before now, thanks for that!
Went to Gettysburg last week. The tour guid and my friends on the museum tour were very surprised with all of the knowledge I had about the artillery. I told them they have to checkout your videos. Thanks for the knowledge!
I think your channel is great.
Positive and clean. You make me feel proud know I was born in the USA.
very nice collection. would love to hear the conversations wile they were being used
Thank you I did find that interesting I worked out the oilfield and did a lot of digging and pipeline repair and I found very interesting stuff to numerous to talk about
Wranglerstar may be a person who has tool info if you need it
Chris Estabon I agree
Chris Estabon Wranglerstar is the man!!
Chris Estabon I love his videos, but I had to unsub when he started using clickbait, on principle. Every time I clicked on a video, it felt as though it'd make him feel it was the clickbait and not the content that made me watch. That made me feel like I'd fallen for a trick.
So does the book he showed us
Love these kinds of videos!
Love all your videos please keep up the great work.
Awesome. Love the passion man.....
Very interesting. I have a small collection of my own i've put together over the years here on my family farm. Always finding an ax head in the most random places.
Nothing like the collection you have but i like the fact each one has a story.
Thanks for sharing.
TN.
Chigg you have such a smooth voice, we could hear you talk all day
Very very cool stuff ! I collect old wood tools but only the ones from flea markets and yard sales. I’ve never have done metal detecting before but that axe collection of yours sure has got me thinking about it .
I would love to see your war outfit doodats, like the belt buckles, buttons and anything else they wore on their clothes as a part of their uniform! Thanks so much, I love all your videos!
Love that crazy sense of humor.
That is an awesome collection you got there Beau. I have found pieces of axes but not a single whole one. I did find today a piece to one of mine that makes it whole it's just in 2 pieces. I think finding old tools is great. I'm near some woods I can hunt one day so who knows maybe i'll get lucky and find a whole one! Keep up the great video's!
glad you answered the questions I would ax myself about
chug you are one decent human being. your a giant dork, or geek, I'm not sure but it's meant to be a term of affection. I am amazed at how cool it is to listen to you.
nice video. I'm looking forward to see what's next!!!
I would love to see the guns and the coins all laid out! Now that would be awesome,hold your breath, LOL.
As a blacksmith & a fan of tool restoration, that tableau makes me drool. Like 80% of these could be brought back to perfect working condition. And screw people who hate the idea of "ruining the patina" (But that's just my opinion).
I really really enjoyed this vid.
verdatum I agree I'm drooling over some of those axe heads
Same. Looking at this table i just want all of them to restore and polish them up
My drool is drooling drool.
they cannae be restored , because they are archaeology ,
nice job sir.... have a few myself...all found in fields....definitely going to pick up a copy of that book...
These show and tell videos are great.
Awesome collection Mr, Chiggles
I love this kind of stuff, I live in a small town called Fort Erie, Ontario Canada along the shores of the Niagara River at the end of Lake Erie. Over the years I have found many many Indian Arrowheads, 1 8kg Cannon ball, a few small round I guess musket balls all about marble size. I found all of these by eye, I'm actually looking to buy my first detector this spring and have some fun hunting.
GREAT COLLECTION!!
I think they are great ! i have also found a couple, to think of all the people who used them is amazing and all the important purposes back in a time when fire wood was essential. Nothing like finding a big hunk of metal you can easily recognize either. Wonderful collection i enjoyed the share also :)
That is amazing. Many of them can be restored and used beautifully. There is a lot of money sitting on that table.
Really impressive collection!!👍😊⚒❣
Hope you do MOAR videos like this
I love to see your "collection" videos. It really is amazing the things you find. I learn so much and remember things8:10 I have learned over my years of exploring this great world. Please show us more collection videos. we love all the things.

This will not be a popular comment but this might be one of my favorite videos you have done!!! Take care my friend!!
Very impressive collection. Great video.
I watch your videos and I was looking at old vids to see what I missed before I subscribed and I about died seeing this vid, my fiancé started restoring axes, he has become fascinated and has also started building with wood, he also collects old tools and wants to save old tools and axes. He is loving your vids now!

Nice collection!!
Nice video....I'd like to see a tour of your relic room and all of your finds worth putting on display.
Very nice l have never seen that big axe and never knew they welded edges on axe heads thank always enjoy your vids
Thanks again for sharing, quite the history you have in front of you and your videos never disappoint! Very nice collection and look at all the relics skirting your walls 😁 🤙 Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter
I like the comment about iron turning to graphite. ..just found a 1755 French Canon ball (24 so far ). I can scrape the iron off, and really look like graphite, also, magnet barely stick to the cannon ball.. if you move the ball slightly, the magnet fall. I have one broken, magnet work well on the core..but not on the edge. Have a good week.
Hey there, love the axe video. That's quite a collection. One thing I thought might be of interest. When you find a piece of iron and it shows the wood grain like lines in it. There's a good chance it's wrought iron. Which is bloomer iron made in a big smelting furnace somewhere. They build a fire and add iron ore, more wood, more ore and so on. As the iron melts out of the ore it strings down toward the bottom, picture candle wax effect. Then when the firing is done it's pulled out and broke up and hammered into rods for the blacksmith. That is where the grain like structure comes in. Blah, blah kind of long winded I know. Thanks for sharing
Very cool video. Thank you.
Dude, you need your own museum. AMAZING Collection. I got to meet Aud & Rach a few times this year. Maybe you one day. Wish I was going to PTG now.
