Metal Detecting A Pre-Civil War House

- Please join me as I explore and metal detect this old home that was built long before the Civil War and actually housed several wounded Southern soldiers during the war. I search for any evidence of that but surprisingly find mostly coins and other items dating around the World War Two era and also some pre-Civil War civilian artifacts.

I hope you guys enjoy the video.
I like how you explain telling a story that nobody else could tell. Really makes me want to go out and pick a tector up and talk to folks around here about digging their properties.
Always an adventure with You!
Will do, always do!!
Your videos are always amazing and your knowledge and personality are spot on. Always entertaining 👌🏼👏🏼
Aquachigger The Road Kill Cave and Property look Awesome. Never really noticed the big house before.
Your videos are never bad no matter if you're finding targets, junk, or relics. I like the story of the hunt and your stories that accompany the videos. So keep filming and showing us everything!
That silver half egg shaped thing with a bunch of holes looks like it was used to steep tea leaves
That was my thought and came to comment the same.
Yep, that's what it was. My mother had one.
Yep, spoon type tea infuser. Probably not that old.
exactly my thought
Yes i believe it is my mom and dad have a couple different ones
One of the many of reasons I love your videos is your sharing your finds as you uncover them. We would frequently have mallards nest close to the house and enjoyed "hatching day" as mama would lead a trail of ducklings to the nearest water which was almost 2 blocks away. Thanks for the memories.
This is NOT a terrible video. It shows your normal hunt, your regular method, which is fun to see.
Thanks for posting. Keeping it real. I appreciate that.
That spoon bowl with holes in was half of a tea making device. The missing half had a second bowl which had a sprung hinge. The spoon was filled with tea and used for making an individual cup of tea. I think they were sold in Woolworths stores in the UK. My mother had one 65 years ago.
That's how I make my loose tea! It's just a perforated spoon, but the handle and the other half of the bowl portion are missing there!
Found it on ebay for $20. If you want to see what it looks like, it's item 293537264856
The original "Church Key" was a bottle opener, that kind of looked like an ornate church-key. Think of a skeleton key with a big loop for the keyring. Lots of guys carried them to open bottles of beer. Then later when beer cans become more common, the triangle opener was added to the other end. Then they eventually replaced the ring with the bent pry bar because they were cheaper and easier to stamp manufacture. The old name just stayed with them, even though they no longer resembled a church-key.
The spoon with the holes looks like it's for making tea.
As always better than anything on tv. Thanks Chigg 😀👍
No Chigg we enjoy watching everything you find. We learn the different sounds the detector makes on different types of metals.
That bottle opener was just like the one my grandpa used in the military (1950 era)
The brass nut with the piece threaded into it looks like a split bolt connector missing it's top half. One company that makes them is Burndy. It's a connector commonly used to connect power to houses from the pole. The black balls at the top of the service entry on most homes have one of these inside.
31:23 is a split bolt (missing 1/2) used as a ground clamp by utility company's for over 50 years, still used today
That brass nut with piece inside is part split bolt electrical connector. Great show, thanks 😎
Great video Chigg nice to see you swinging and singing again!
Always like your detecting video's best, thanks chig
FYI None of your videos are terrible. I love the stories of old places like that and that hedge...😂🤣
Chigg referring to dogs as doggos gives me joy
That brass nut is actually an electrical silica bronze split bolt. Linesmen used them and can could be explained by the u shaped nail found nearby. Guy most likely had it fall from his bag when servicing the power lines.
The nail or big steeple was used on wooden U guards. That's where I've run across them anyhow, and explains some of the other related finds.
Happy New Year we watch ALL your videos!
That rectangular piece with the solder marks just looks like metal strapping used for holding lumber together and the like
Love the house and video keep it up Mr Chigg can't wait for the next one!!!!!
I am crazy about these videos, great job ,thank you very much !
your big old sinker could be a weight for an antique clock too
greetings from bavaria
I like the pre digging
Forced to listen to song to see the round up, now I'll have that in my head all night long.
I like that song, kind of like Andy Griffith Show Song. A warm and fussy song!!!!
I really like the new camera angles and slow zoom! It's neat to see your detecting technique from a distance. AAA+
Olde Chigg is full of surprises . Nobody knew he could speak fluent duck.
“Road......KILL”!🤣. Love ya Chigg!
Haha yes i do recognize that bush!👍👍
Somebody was practicing casting in the yard with that big sinker.
We call it 'Yard Fishin' here in Georgia. :)
first thing i thought of too scott.
Great video it was like a lot of my hunts. thanks for keeping it real.
Yards been cleaned out !!!
maybe the fence wire wad was to keep the lawn from sifting into road Kill cave ; )
Chigg's Army!!!
Hello! We enjoy watching your videos very much! It's very interesting to see the things you find in the USA as opposed to what we find here in the UK. Maybe our paths will cross sometime in the future =) Gail & Alex xx
Great job Beau!!
Brilliant video as always keep up the amazing work
Awesome!! Chiggs!!😊👍
Some of the old lead type didn’t have letters or numbers as they were for spacing, like between sentences. A narrow space was an ‘en’ space and a wider space was an ‘em’ space. We used a Heidelberg press to create the lead type. The thing was old and huge and loud. It had a fire in its bowels that would melt the lead. It had a brass looking keyboard that would form the lines of type as quick as you could type. As long as you typed slow and steady. Oh crap... I’m that guy. The old and boring guy. Let’s talk more about Bacardi 151! Thanks, Chig!🙋🏻♂️
I didn't know the underground railroad was that small. Thanks for the history lesson chigg!
Chiggs RR joke had me in stitches haha
We call those big sinkers Kerplunkers. When they hit the water they go kerplunk!
I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.
Those church keys were wicked bad in a bar fight. 🤕
Your sure saved us a lot of time with digging off camera , realistic finds
I love watching all your videos
Waiting on the next video from this one be safe out there and GOD BLESS you and your family Chigg Amen 🙏
Nice touch with the clips at the end of the video! Always look forward to watching your vids as you never fail to educate us on some little thing. Blessing from Mike Mc in sunny Florida
Enjoy watching your videos old civil war artifacts.On my property ive always wondered whats in the ground around me use to be part of a farm over 9 acres but what ive found in and around my building is 3 civil war cannon balls another been in the weather so long that it's crumbling that's makes 4 cannonballs and also found some grape fruit shot the cannonballs are alittle over 3 inches in diameter
Knew it had to be a war nickel. ;) well done, Beau. ;) atb
Chig's epitaph: "I really should have had gloves on."
Top 10:D Keep up the great work Chig!
Grats on the 43 silver war nickel! SF mint too 👍
Tonight I prayed for you to find something really big!
KEEP IT GOING !!!!!
Sweet '43 Silver War Nickel!!!
Love your new permission. The half spoon thing with perforations is half of a tea ball thing. It's used to hold loose tea for steeping. I have one in my kitchen I still use.
Reminds me of a Clint Eastwood movie the Beguiled. Nice segment Chigg 👍
loved this one chigg
THATS ROAD KILL CAVE I SAW SANTA THERE
Yep you sure did!
@Stepping On Thru mm we thinks we see it mmm yesss
Sweet cave by road house. Great hunt bro, like the big tree area by road. Find the privy area, is also g spot. Great hunt bro, enjoyed.
Super, interesting inspection on the garden, house owner will be pleased with the history you unearthed, some nice pieces for sure👍
That at max would drive me crazy. Too much of a chatterbox. Beau you need a PI machine like Garrett ATX :)
Niiice! 43-S silver War Nickel!
Always makes my day!
I can't wait to see what ya found out back.
Instead of for potpourri, that may have been used for tea
big fan from algeria
The nut looking thing is half of an electrical wire splice used mostly for solid wire
Is that Road Kill Cave before you dug it out? P.s. Glad you cleared up the little gold coin mystery! :)
Few minutes in,,looks like house with the cave on the edge of the road.
Good video friend!
Something tells me there is some really good stuff down deep. Neat finds anyway. The old pewter spoon bowl is awesome.
I knew you was at the Road Kill Cave as soon as I saw the bush Chigg 👍
That's like my day in the field. Least I see the chigg has days like mine.
AquaLand Relics
Nice!👍
Please Chig, tell me you re-checked your holes! I thought I saw MOAR treasures! :) As always- great video! Love watching your adventures! :) Thanks for taking me with!!
The thing with all the holes is for steeping tea
Nice war nickel. I never dig them looking that good around me
The nut that you dug by the road ,was half of what is called a spit bolt ,used in the electrical connections of two wires, prob by the electric company
Awesome finds out there. Great advice, dig it all you never know what cool relics you might leave behind if you leave the iffy signals!
That's cool, you were hoping for a war Nickel then you found one. I was surprised to see a mint mark from the left coast, I would have bet money that it was going to be a P.
It is always surprising what you find! 😁👍🏻
I laughed when you said “a gold coin”...and later “an underground railroad rail”
Nice bit of history there.
Thanks for showing us the settings. I struggle with the noise on the Max sometimes and the settings don’t always work for me, but you know that because of the event last year ;).
That mallard hen was a nice surprise. 😊
Big sinker maybe someone just put new line on his fishing reel and was working it in.
and then the cat attacked it
This is across the street from your inlaws old home with the spring you crawled into
Round silver thing looks like the back of a pocket watch.
Yep 👍
I know that bush
Looks like road kill cave?
Love ya man
I've never heard of that kind of can/bottle opener called a church key. What I've always heard referred to that way was the little folding can/bottle opener that came in C-rations and K-rations.
P-38
4:11 dirt fishing lol.
I used to practice casting with a sinker in the yard. There's probably dozens of those things buried out front
Hey Chigg, the spoon bowl that was flatten looks like it has sliver plate. The War Nickel you thought was silver is during the war the nickels were made of silver. Sense this is an old farm the thing you think is a piece of rail could be a scale weight.
Search for the privy hole in the back, servants would throw things they accidentally broke in the out house.
Somebody most likely dectected this property before. Probably in the 70s with a whites machine. Should be more there
The brass "nut" thing you picked up is a sprayer tip for chemical spraying.
That's a tea ball spoon for loose tea. I have one in my kitchen.
Chig great CIV finds I just got a complete soldiers boot dug from Virginia trash pit that was cut off his leg- near the hospital in City Point
Wow that's pretty cool 👍. What else did you find
Wow!
Travis Callahan I got it indirectly from digger. I’m not on Chig level to find something like that myself!
Another great one! Thanks for sharing!
Great improvement with the wooly bear microphone! You can be heard clearly
I want a hat like the one your wearing!
I suppose in another 100 years, people will be like : "wow, I found a pull tab"
great video , nice war nickel !
3:17 I think it’s the back to a pocket watch.
