Yes exactly, baby samsquanch are known to live in burrows until they grow big enough to fend for themselves, leaving the distinctive row of dirt stretching away from the burrow.
If you ever get around to visit be mindful of where you are. It is the Gettysburg National Battlefield; as a National Park it is a felony with up to $10,000 fines to detect or hunt for relics on park property. You can do it legally on private property surrounding the park, but you will need the permission of the landowner to do so.
I didn't know this was allowed!!!!! How neat to touch history!!!! I live in KY and the battlefield near me has several signs against metal detecting. I don't know if it's to be respectful of the battle field. It seems that it doesn't do any good in the dirt. I'm from AL and had ancestors fight for the South. I am enjoying this hunt and learning about these artifacts!
The 'pipe bowl' @ 4:50 looks like the housing for a drain plug, the threads are probably tapered (N.P.T.). Still used today to drain liqued or air from storage tanks. But tell your friend that it was used to inflate small hot air balloons after victorious battles.
Hi Chigg, some nice nice finds there, how crazy is this weather even here in the UK it's really warm here Xmas day. Hope you had a lovely day and have a great boxing day too. xx
Thanks beau! Merry Christmas. As always thanks for taking the time to make this video and I support this site. ~M~To you and yours I wish you a happy-Holiday and a blessed new year. thank you for what you do... Mike
You ever wonder what this stuff actually looked like when it was new? Like, generations have came and gone while that stuff was lost in the dirt. It's kinda like bringing the people back to life for a mere moment. You don't know who owned it, but someone touched it and they've been gone for a long time. Like, I bought a penny from 1862 the other day. You realize Abe Lincoln could have had that in his pocket. I think that shits cool.
Hey Beau, the cartridge you found that was solid looks to be a .410 ga shotgun shell. There were some made like that. I have a box somewhere, but cannot remember the manufacturer.
The 410 shot shell is ether a military survival cartridge or a military line throwing cartridge that the navy would have used refuel or pass mail and so on.
slow-moving Minie bullet used during the American Civil War caused catastophic injuries. The two minie bullets, for example, that struck John Bell Hood's leg at Chickamauga destroyed 5 inches of his upper thigh bone. This left surgeons no choice but to amputate shattered limbs.
I’m new to metal detecting. Most of the battlegrounds are parks now. So how the hell can I find anything cool if I can’t go on the battlefield? Please help with some advice
Merry Christmas to you and yours!I understand your feelings towards fired bullets as opposed to dropped ones, but in this case, being an old field hospital, what are the chances of some of those fired bullets having been removed from wounded soldiers?
Looks like a Rabbit/Hare/Jackrabbit warren to me. I'm from Australia so I'm not familiar with some of your wildlife but that's not like any fox den I've seen. Their holes are much bigger, almost as big as a wombat hole (14-18" across) and they tend to enlarge existing hollows and locate their dens near fallen logs or root balls where there is more hard cover. I don't think a fox would ever make a den in the open like that whereas it's typical for Rabbits and Hares.
oldfartatplay1320 From a book published in 1987 called Guide to the Mammals of PA.... Before 1900, there is only 1 documented occurrence of a badger in PA. And since 1946, there have only been 4 sightings of a badger in PA (2 of those being confirmed escapees). They don't exist here. A badger might stray across from Ohio, but Gettysburg isn't close to the border.
another awesome video...I have a question...when you show your finds...there is a ring shaped item in the lower left of the screen...kind of looks like something Ive seen dug....do you have an id on it?
AC - I was just thinking about civil war bullets. Does it make sense to assume that every bullet fired during the Civil War is still in the ground somewhere, with the exception of the ones that were lodged in someones body?
Could you give a run down on the settings and how you use them and ground balancing the T2. I see you haven't used the AT Pro on the last couple of hunts. Thankyou, love the videos, have a great Christmas.
@Andy Cyberleader 65 Interesting. Then say at Gettysburg, or any battlefield really, one could document by percussion cap finds where a regiment precisly stood in battle line and fired away. This would be interesting in front of Pickett's Charge. Where did Confederate regiments stand and fire? What was their closest approach by units? And so on. Find a Minnie ball and you never know where it was fired from precisly, but find a line of spent percussion caps and you have found the exact line of a Regiment that stood and fired away. I wonder how hard it would be to get approval for an archeological dig ahere Pickets charge was fought?
As an archeologist who works at the gettysburg Park i consider so lucky that everyday I can touch history. Nice hunting guys
That's a badger hole. We got em in our fields here in Colorado. Unmistakable!
We don't have badgers in Gettysburg
never sniff strange holes!!😂
Awesome post sir, thanks for bringing us along on your adventures!!
Really wish I saw this comment sooner…
Your videos are always down to earth. I like that. Good job...
Literally
I can't believe you sniffed that hole. You could have had the biggest shock of your life! Thanks for another great adventure.
That hole looks like a badger dug it as I've seen them do it out here in Az
I think the hole was from a baby samsquatch
Yes exactly, baby samsquanch are known to live in burrows until they grow big enough to fend for themselves, leaving the distinctive row of dirt stretching away from the burrow.
No, how many times do I have to tell people there are no baby samsquanches in Pa. Only growed up ones!
That small section of chain came from an Enfield nipple protector, which came off the trigger guard. It is missing the actual nipple cover portion.
Denis Degamon 100% what that is
Thank you so much for letting us, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge
@@andrewn3262 My thinking as well
Great old video Chig! I enjoy all your adventures! Rk.
I love seeing you using the T2 you have me wanting to get mine back out ! Good hunt
Omg i love a few hours from Gettysburg I've always wanted to metal detect there

Looks like an aromadillo hole. See plenty of those holes down south as they spread the dirt as their barwling down the hole .
Nice little dig, I enjoyed it . Thank you.

You have to go to private property
Thanks for all you do , your enthusiasm is awesome . Merry Christmas, from southern Idaho.
Nice hunt up in Gettysburg. You need to come and hunt around Chickamauga some day. Merry Christmas.
BE SURE TO JOIN CHIGG'S ARMY ON FACEBOOK FOR MOAR!
You are very fortunate to get to hunt the periphery of the battlefield!
Found a manure spreader link in my own yard a couple years back. Now i know what it was. thanks Chig!

I enjoyed the video Beau. Love to see all the civil war relics you find. Have a Merry Christmas and God Bless.
Coyotes me guess.
Otherwise another stellar hunt chigg ! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures
Hi Chigg, some nice nice finds there, how crazy is this weather even here in the UK it's really warm here Xmas day. Hope you had a lovely day and have a great boxing day too. xx
Merry christmas aquachigger and family. from steve in the uk love watching your videos keep them up
My kinda CW hunt. Thanks for sharing a G'burg hunt!
Thanks beau! Merry Christmas. As always thanks for taking the time to make this video and I support this site. ~M~To you and yours I wish you a happy-Holiday and a blessed new year. thank you for what you do... Mike
" Merry Christmas, Too You And Lindsey. "
Merry Christmas A year later
Very nice finds and video. Merry Christmas.
Great editing and continuous action! Thanks and Merry Christmas!
first part was a oil/grease part that went on horse drawn cutting harrow. went down by the disc shaft.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your wife Beau!! You are the BEST, from your greatest fan in Louisiana Kevin L.
The cartridge case is a 45-90 or 45-120, the Springfield conversion trapdoor rifles fired the 45-70, which were post civil war.
At least it’s an old pull tab
Ha ha
Love your videos
Merry Christmas Aquachigger and awesome vid as usual.

How did you get permits to metal detect a nation park? Thats awesome!!
Hey Beau, the cartridge you found that was solid looks to be a .410 ga shotgun shell. There were some made like that. I have a box somewhere, but cannot remember the manufacturer.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Brian
MERRY CHRISTMAS CHIGG! May the New Year find you in good health and on many more adventures.
Great Hunt Beau! Merry Christmas!!!!
It was an interesting hunt! Must've been shot before the blizzard up there.
I have seen metal cased bullets like you found for elephant guns. It also looks about the size of a 410 shot gun case.
Is it a Three legged groundhog? He could have a hitch in his giddy up! LOL
I live in gettysburg, PA area and I love scoring new permits!
The 410 shot shell is ether a military survival cartridge or a military line throwing cartridge that the navy would have used refuel or pass mail and so on.
I hope every one had a great Christmas.
Justt. Found this one.thanks chigg
great fine and Merry Christmas
slow-moving Minie bullet used during the American Civil War caused catastophic injuries. The two minie bullets, for example, that struck John Bell Hood's leg at Chickamauga destroyed 5 inches of his upper thigh bone. This left surgeons no choice but to amputate shattered limbs.
That’s an awesome video! Thx for sharing man.
Chigg cooler than the other side of the pillow
Good video, nice finds Beau.
Merry Christmas Aquachigger and family! Hopefully that is not a badger hole!
Good video Beau !
Another great video Chigg look forward to your videos keep them coming. Would love to hunt with you some day.
Amazing Video, Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year
Merry Christmas Chigg !
could the iron balls be canister shell balls? Could you tell whether the miniballs were dropped or fired?
Keep'em comming chigg!!!!!
I’m new to metal detecting. Most of the battlegrounds are parks now. So how the hell can I find anything cool if I can’t go on the battlefield? Please help with some advice
You can.
Just don't let anybody see you.
Eff the government!
The long cylinder with the # is a military 410 shotgun case.
The aluminum shell could be a 410 flare round..but I could be wrong..alit of launching rounds are aluminum..but I may b wrong
Aquachigger, where do you find these cool places to hunt. I can't find anywhere to hunt.
what kind of cut proof gloves do you use and has garrett asked you to try out a new pin pointer yet.
A very merry Christmas to you.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!I understand your feelings towards fired bullets as opposed to dropped ones, but in this case, being an old field hospital, what are the chances of some of those fired bullets having been removed from wounded soldiers?
Awesome finds chig
Always enjoy happy holidays
Glad to see I am not the only one to nick a Gardner....lol
Hey Chigg here is your AT Pro the last few hunts ?
Looks like a Rabbit/Hare/Jackrabbit warren to me. I'm from Australia so I'm not familiar with some of your wildlife but that's not like any fox den I've seen. Their holes are much bigger, almost as big as a wombat hole (14-18" across) and they tend to enlarge existing hollows and locate their dens near fallen logs or root balls where there is more hard cover. I don't think a fox would ever make a den in the open like that whereas it's typical for Rabbits and Hares.
A Rabbit hole will be 6-8", usually slightly taller than it is wide. A hare will be closer to 8-10".
That little object he found at 5:20 looks like a gas light fitting of some sort.
Brass thing at 5.34 is a Valve from a engine
That brass piece looks like a broken fuel shut off valve from a tractor.
Love the Flecktarn
Beau, I'm wondering if that was a badger hole, and thank goodness no one was home when you stuck yer snout in there.......
That brass piece at 5:20 looks like a compression release from a two cylinder John Deere.
Cool Relic hunt!
So I guess this is private property NEAR Gettysburg?
Another nice video from you. We wish you a nice christmess and a happy new year from Germany :o)
Grandy
It looks like a badger's den to me.
I was thinking that too. He stuck his face down by this hole. I thought this go REALLY bad.
the fields have been plowed / mowed ? so the ''finds would be moved from ''drop area
Can you please tell me where this was
That hole looks like a fox, dog or maybe even a coyote dug it out looking for a snack.
Maybe an errant badger?

...well I guess you told Him! lol
Muito bom amigo, parabéns pelos achado,um abraço aqui da Amazônia pra você. Brasil
I don't know what it is but an old digger told me to always detect around ground hog holes. Maybe relics already dug up for you.
I lost a W someplace . LOL Where is your AT Pro / Max the last few hunts ?
Could it be a canteen cap chain? Around the 4 minute mark....
another awesome video...I have a question...when you show your finds...there is a ring shaped item in the lower left of the screen...kind of looks like something Ive seen dug....do you have an id on it?
Thats a chain that was connected to a cap that went over the percussion nipple
Happy holidays
AC - I was just thinking about civil war bullets. Does it make sense to assume that every bullet fired during the Civil War is still in the ground somewhere, with the exception of the ones that were lodged in someones body?
Addendum: Where the hell else would they be???????????? My dumb.

Did you ever metal detect any percussion caps (brass) anywhere ar are they all rotted away?
@Andy Cyberleader 65 Interesting. Then say at Gettysburg, or any battlefield really, one could document by percussion cap finds where a regiment precisly stood in battle line and fired away.

Tie rod end off civil war wagon?😁
Do you have to get permission to search on the grounds? I know several areas do not allow it. Just curious where it is or isnt allowed
awesome stuff man!
nice finds Chigg
