Just a short video tonight. Jim and I had a great time but didn't find as much as we expected or hoped for. Dems the breaks. Maybe next time. Thanks for watching!
It's just good to see you back out. One of the reasons you are appreciated is you share your "not so good days" along with the great. You still always make it interesting by pointing out what most wouldn't notice or take the time to share. Thanks, Beau.
Thanks for making videos I’ve learned a lot watching ising my Garrett ace 300 hope to get AT Max one day when can afford it you inspired me to get out more since my blood clots after my neck surgeries given me something to look forward to, thank you
Hedge apple are from the Osage Orange tree. The wood makes great bows and were used by Native Americans. It is amazing how many harmonica reeds are found. Oh boy, a hamwench.
Yes, the formal name of the tree is "Maclura pomifera". The pomifera presumably referring to the apple-like (sort of) seed balls, which also are compared to oranges because of the bumpy outer texture of the seed balls and the citrus-like smell of the outer part of them. The interiors have a somewhat musky odor. The trees also are called "Bois d'Arc", with "bois" being the French word for wood and the "d'Arc" perhaps referring to curved shapes of the branches and the bows made from that wood by Native Americans. The heart wood of these trees is quite dark and tough. I've seen many of these trees growing in eastern Kansas and Oklahoma. I grew up in Virginia but wasn't aware that they also could be found in the mid-Atlantic region.
@@Hnry-Tudor Good info. Thanks. I had several in our pasture and we either called them horse apples or, as you say, Bois d'Arc, pronounced colloquially here in Louisana as bow dock. My Dad would tell me I had a head as hard as a bowdock stump. By the way, horses won't touch them. 😂
@@WayneTheSeine Hi Wayne. There may be some use for those large, green seedballs. But I haven't come up with one. I suppose that deer and small animals might nibble on them when they're hungry enough. Part of my dissertation involved collecting tree cores and analyzing them in northeast Oklahoma. One of my colleagues tried to core a Bois d'Arc tree for me...the steel coring bit snapped off after getting about 1 inch into the heartwood. They definitely have tough wood. 🙂
@@Hnry-Tudor Ha ha. I can imagine trying to take a core sample. When I was young I was a forestry technician for International Paper Company and took a many of core sample doing stand descriptions and can only imagine doing one. I have managed to be fail to retrieve one when boring into an oak that was hollow. We turned and pulled and finally just left it there. I loved that work. Those balls would cover the ground in our pasture and remain there until I bushhogged them. Never noticed anything eating them. I imagine there is a decent market for osage staves. Handmade osage bows fetch a hefty price.
Hey Chigg, I went detecting today for an hour after work and I found 2 colonial copper coins 2 buttons and a little lead goose toy but missing it’s head😮. Needless to say I am still excited it’s the best I’ve done in a while! Also I took your advice on how to clean the coins with your nail and some oil from your brow it worked great!!!
Yjat axe head was used to hammer in metal-timber splitting wedges. I used an axe for that in front of my great uncle he roared at me and it took me half an hour to get down off the shed because I jumped so high. Pipes hammered into the ground were common when radios first became available. They were used as earths for the radio to help with reception.
Definitely an ice cream churn I remember staying at my grandmas house and asking here to buy me some ice cream she said I’m not spending 50 cents on ice cream if you want some make it so I said ok (I was probably 6 years old) so she got out the churn crabbed the cream off the top of two gallons of milk added some sugar and ice and rock salt around the outside said start turning the handle I cranked and cranked and cranked until my arm wouldn’t work then switched arms until the other one didn’t work and then my older sister took over until her arms wouldn’t work so grandma finished it it was the best ice cream I’ve ever had (of course I was seven by the time it was made….😬😂 couple interesting finds and you didn’t get skunked thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼
Thumbs up for that really neat hamench...wrenmer...whatever it was. Maybe do a restoration and see if it works? Farmer might have been on to something! Loved the cow pic!
That smell/taste could be a Bigfoot fart...lol. Those hedgeapples are good to place around your house during boxelder bug season. Place them at all 4 corners, doorways, and windows and the bugs will leave the area.
Chigg I would like to speak with you about a site in Georgia. Once we speak, you may want to come out and take a look. According to the placards posted in the grace yard near the site, there wasn't much of a battle. It seems the defenders were surrounded and starved out during Sherman's campaign to the sea.
That was 🔥🔥🔥Chigg!!!!!!! I have never seen anything like that ball peen hammer/wrench combo, congrats on that one!!! Great hunt & explore, and I just love your still pics at the end!!!!!!! Thank you, Chigg 💖
Certain types of fertilizers gas off and give almost a methane or sulfur odor.That stone home from the 1700’s would’ve been a great place if you’re given permission.
Nice hunt chigg! Nothing like an IHP to star the day! Some great history coming up! Thanks for sharing! That old wagon rool or cannon tool was awesome 😎
Hey Chig !! Great video. I'm very interested in a pair of wireless headphones and I noticed yours. If you don't mind can you tell me about them. I have the ATpro

We used to called those monkeybrains back in school. We had a school farm that connected to the elementary school and had a lot of those trees.

That thing you found that you thought might be part of a shoe buckle looked more like the handle off an old fishing reel.
Nice Indian head penny find!

Osage apples seed are edible. You toast them before eating.
good date on the penny
Crescent hammer used to be a joke implying the improper use of a wrench, but, there it is....
The way you are describing the smell sounds a lot like turkey crap. They use it as fertilizer here in California
