About Aquachigger:
I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my TH-cam "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

This was an awesome detection with Mike of Gr8Finds. We find some very interesting things. Do you recognize the old silver coin Mike finds and the old hammered coin I found? Really interesting! I hope you enjoy the video and please don't forget to give it a like and subscribe! Thanks... Chigg

Beau, that was a pretty cool river hunt. Loved the coins and artillery shell.
the foreign silver coin is a 1 mohar from Nepal 1789-1798
@@tylerjames2714thanks James for that. This is Mike. Appreciate ya helping.
Thanks Beau. Had a wonderful time that day. 😊 Look forward to the next GR8 adventure!
@@tylerjames2714I guess you could say, it’s one mohar silver coin for the collection 😬
The silver coin is 1 mohar , girvan yuddha vikrama from Nepal it's aged between 1771 and 1816 great find plus it's upsidedown
That elephant is gorgeous! Four hours in and I’m over 8000th in the queue….. I’ve been trying conscientiously to “like” my favourite videos now as I realise it affects your algorithm. Anything to help. I’m sitting on a sunny New Zealand winter afternoon, drinking tea and munching a muffin after gardening. I do enjoy your videos, always fun, always interesting. Today I learned how to identify inert military anti aircraft shells. Always useful. 😊 the RANGE of things you find is amazing. I’ve watched you for years now, definitely one of my bestest 20, my hubs thinks I’m mad, but I’ve learned so much. Here’s to many more fun years tagging along on your adventures 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, Mike
That wasn't Miss New Zealand muffin was it?
That ring looks like..a..ring!
That toy car is a tootsie toy that came with Crest toothpaste back in the day!
I like that pic at end of you & your friend. Smile!
That “token” might just be the find of the trip Chigg. It is also a Nepalese coin like the silver one but the only examples I could find remotely like it were from the Lichavvi Kingdom and hammered in the 600s AD. The animal on the coin is a lion.
Unless it is some sort of reproduction, which I doubt, that may just be the oldest coin I have ever even heard of being found in the U.S.
That coin is obviously not hammered lol, 1 Mohur 1884 Nepal Silver looks pretty similar to this one
@@alvarinhos Yeah that looks spot on
@@alvarinhos Im referring to the copper coin not the silver coin, which is obviously the one you stated
@@alvarinhos Good spot, looks like his is older, 1802-1825. The symbol L with the little half 8 on the right in the circle matches these years.
You always keep me waiting on the edge of my seat!!!
Cool Some Thing Old And Some Thing New. 😎👍✌.
Aloha Chigg, Hey Mike! Great day and thanks so much for the companionship! Just get tired looking at the size of that sledgehammer.
Awesome day for you guys outdoors in the water chigger stay blessed 👍🙋♂️🙏🍺
The wrench is a SPUD wrench and they’re used by Ironworkers Probably dropped during construction of that bridge.
That coin us from Nepal I think. The elephant ties in too I think. Maybe a prayer offering or tribute to a dead ancestor.
I think you're right about Nepal. My guess it's a 1 Mohar, possibly from the 1700s!
The elephant, head was from a saltshaker. Take a look at the ending closeups.
@@AdamosDad dead people need salt too, Dad.
@@treepotato9273 BAH-Ha ha ha haha🎈✨ ( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ✨🎈 that's some funny💩 right there!
@@AdamosDad hey true. That elephant only ties in to some thief at a roadside diner.
Awesome treasure for 1 day!
Thanks Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE
Really enjoy watching you videos..
Great finds guys! I really like that elephant head shaker top. Mike.
Thanks, Mike 😊
According to other replies here the 2 coins/tokens were from Nepal and I was thinking that the elephant head may also be an antique and from that area of Asia(Nepal).
Take Care All
Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
Awesome finds , thank you for letting us tag along.
Thank you for a great video. Very interesting and the pictures at the end make a good bonus. Y'all have a good weekend.
Now that was a hunt full of interesting finds!❤
Quite the finds.
amazing my friend thanks for sharing.🤝👍🇮🇩💪
Congrats on the silver coin from Nepal! What a great but bizarre find. Strange how that ended up there.
Google image search says that silver coin is an early 1800s Mohar from Nepal. How unusual!
I would say it was thrown in the river with the elephant with someone's ashes as a death memorial.
@@laker3 yikes
Aquachigger it’s is a coin from Nepal or Tibet great find for Mike
Thank you, Mike😊
Chiggs 👌🤙🍺👍🏼
Hey Chigg and your friend
Hello. 👋
Awesome video, so many cool finds. You always bring each other good luck and lots of laughs.👍👏😀
Nice find, an Ironworkers best friend, the Spud Wrench and one more thing I love when you say....... Hold your breath 🤣🤣 Keep up the great work

Wow cool finds
Cool find's, thanks Chigg
Totally Awesome! Great job!
😊👍Thanks!!
Awesome day. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome hunt thank you so very much for sharing hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend 👍👍❤️
A lot of great finds today thanks for taking me along
Another great adventure,,I still want to see you find a Cannon 🎉
Holy cow! This hunt had quite the finds!
@1:15 Someone's lost Birthday present? Very precious it seems.
I believe the coin and elephant are connected in some way.. maybe a offering
Both coins are from Nepal and I think you may be correct.
Thinking the wrench & sledgehammer are railroad relics
Some kid probably used his Dad's WWII relic from Burma as a fishing weight. "Son, have you seen my salt shaker elephant head or my plumb bob." Son. "A what?" Some very awesome finds.
Awesome finds!! You two were killing it! Love Mikes elephant!
This was a great little outing!!! nice finds
You rule, my friend.
GR8 FINDS GUYS!!!
Thanks Steve
@@gr8finds196 No problem at all. I really enjoy You & the Chigg
Awesome video guys!
That was a fun one!
Crushing it today!
Awesomely weird finds! I found a large brass token when i was kid living in Hawaii, of all places, in a play ground. The token has the enscription; 'GOOD FOR ONE SCREW MADAME RUTH JACOBS PROP which is encircled by SILVER DOLLAR HOTEL DENVER, COLO
Nice little adventure. Quite a range of finds.
Fantastic finds on the river.
Nice Video Chigg
Nice finds Beau!!!
Very cool finds guys
Legendary
Nice hunt guys, assortment of finds 🇺🇸
Wow what a selection of finds. congrats on the shineys 🙂
Every time he says hold your breath I feel the urge to pop my ears. Divers? 😂
The bigger question is who’s getting rid of 30mm AA rounds off a bridge.
Those are sold in army surplus stores as souvenirs. That's why the primer was already dented in
Keep up the great stuff! ❤️
There’s no ID or anything on the inside of that ring? Nice river hunt Chigg👍
37mm artillery shell!
That Plumb Bob can be refurbished. They were used in surveying but not so much anymore.
Hey Chigg, what kind of metal detector do you use? I think i have the exact same on! The coil on yours looks identical to mine. I think mine a garret AT Pro possibly, i can be bothered to get off the toilet and go look lol. Also I was wondering if you have any tips for beginners... I keep finding just aluminum tabs and trash. I have headphones and I've tried to use the technique that people have done on videos of hunting in and listening to the tone but even when it seems like it's a good tone it's always just trash like aluminum or a rusty bolt. If you haven't already do you think you could do a video on how to listen to the tone to find good stuff? Or maybe just listening to the tone to filter out at least some of the trash? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! I've had my detector for at least about 8 months and taking it out a handful of times but it's getting very frustrating... I don't want to give up on because it seems like a very fun sport, but after finding the 256th Pop can tab im about to lose my marbles lol!!!
Would love a follow-up of that silver coin and the token
The tag with 21 could be for a key to a hotel room or cabin
T
You need to bring a flat head screw driver or a pick to get in the cracks with.
Great finds, missed Booby Wobs and Fiona at the end today.
The elephant head looks like the top of a walking cane
👍😁
😁👍
At 2:14, appears to be the end of a duck decoy weight. Would have had a stem around 8 inches long the diameter of the spot in the middle of the piece you found. There was a hole for line to be attached on the opposite end. The stem was very soft lead and could be wrapped around the decoy’s head for storage. Sorry to say, not an old piece.
Thanks for the id.
The wobbly kitten and Fiona are going to be proud of these finds.
It’s probably a 30mm I got a 40mm dummy round that came from WW1 I think.
You forgot the hammer head and the wrench.
Hey, apologies for losing you for a while but I'm back 😂❤
@1:05, tungsten
That ranch is for lining up bolt holes on that bridge
It looks like a sheared off rivet from the side rail of a semi trailer
That elephant head looks to be quite old, that style of elephant representation with the short trunk could be from around 1850 to 1900. If it was lead , it might have been a child's toy where just the head remains.
Thanks for the information. I was wrong. It's actually cast iron.
@@gr8finds196 That's interesting, I wonder if it was part of a mechanical piggy bank, where you put a coin on a spot and the character moves and puts it in the bank. They were all made out of cast iron.
You forgot the spud wrench and giant sledgehammer head
RARE 641-680 NEPAL "LICCHAVI KINGDOM"
Might be the coin you have or something close to it
Thanks for the info.
I'm curious mr chigg is the sunglasses fence still a thing?
Nah, it got overgrown....
@@aquachigger You may have to start a museum at some point, do you have plans for your collection in the future? You have a small Smithsonian Civil War exhibit!
Was that an arrow head with the ring?
Any updates on the cannon round?
I think it's a training round for a 25mm or 30mm.🇺🇸👍😎
It's a training round. 30mm I believe.
@@aquachigger Yeah it looks the right size. Totally inert and safe to keep. Probably from an Apache
@@justdustino1371
No, actually Navajo.
@@KevinSmith-yh6tl The AH-64 Apache attack helicopter has a 30mm cannon, as does the A-10 Warthog attack plane. So, tell me, what's the joke again?
@@justdustino1371well, now the joke is your poor sense of humor.
Silver coin might be 1 Mohur 1884 Nepal Silver coin but im not 100%
The wrench you found we used on the railroad. it was called a spanner wrench . The pointed end was used to align hole up for either bolts or pins such as grab irons or brake rigging. The wrench end was used to tighten up square nuts.
👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Is that the Monocacy river near Frederick?
Have you ever taken home a talisman????
10:22, tibetan coin, tangka dkarpo sa rpa, ND 1953
That is a bullet from a warhug
Yeah, or Apache! 30mm
Yes my friend
*warthog
Yes my friend that was my guess also
How much for the bullet chigg?
The coin looks to be from Nepal. Could be a 4 Mohar coin from 1914. How that got there is a mystery....
SILVER COIN FOUND BY GREAT FINDS, NEPAL, mohar, 1692 SE (1770 AD) VALUE $35.00... SADLY! AND YES ITS A GREAT FIND, MOST AWESOME!! LOL
NEPAL, Prithvi Narayan, 1768-1775, mohar, 1692 SE (1770 AD), Reverse: sword in 3 sectioned circle, silver, 30mm, 5.47g, KM454.2, toned VF
could that dome shaped lead piece be part of a drawer pull?
It's a salt water fishing weight. You can still buy them today.
what detector was mike using?
