Just wanted to say thank you. My husband 2020 going into 2021 was quite ill. He required months of inhouse rehab therapy. He had often been ill with one thing or another but this was the first time I couldn't bring him home after his hospital stays. The house was to quiet and for once I had the remote. I started playing all of your videos from start to finish. I enjoyed them when I payed attention and they were a pleasant noise when I was distracted. I made it thru almost all of them and he finally came home for about 8 months. I got behind. He got pneumonia again and went into the hospital. I started again. He passed on Feb 8th and I have watched, listened, slept thru all of them. Thanks foe being there even though you didn't know it. Lol
This was a fun hunt. We search for Mikes's missing half of a buckle and I try to make sense of the homesite we are searching.

The Chigg
I found the same CS tongue without the female part. I have looked pretty hard for the other half but no luck yet. I am going to keep trying. Even without the female part, I consider it to be my best find and I have quite a few buckles and nice things.
I love the education that you provide with your videos which I always find entertaining, but most important, very educational. You explain in detail, not only your finds, but the location and topography of the areas that you hunt. Your explanation of old home foundations and road traces are the things that most detectorists don't talk about on their videos. Thanks for taking us along!
It's Fun Being The Old Man The Kid's Dont Get To Pisse For Picking At Thim. It's All In Part Of Haveing Fun Like Today. And I think You Like It To LOL.
I love those blue coloured lightning rod insulators! Congrats to Mike for that nice find! I hope he finds the other half 🍀 Pretty coloured bottle too! 😍 It was nice seeing some items from your collection inserted into the video. 🙂
Great video with more history. That glass you dug was an insulator. Had the same notch like the one on the rod. Glad you and Mike are hanging together.
Thank you Mr. B. !!! That other part could have iron on top of it. Or mabe not! Lol. I still have the black smith on my mind. The hay fork are ausome. You can't even buy one it seems. Great video.
Hey Chigg if your ever around the Pittsburgh area let me know, I live mi Utes away from Meadow Croft Rock Shelter in Avella Pa. I have several areas to detect n search with old wells, mines, ect.... All from 1800s. Meadow Croft is definitely worth a visit to anyone who likes Native American and Pioneer life. Happy Trails my friend!
I was just reading the other day that some old clear glass would turn purple with age because of manganese in the glass, or something like that. So maybe that one started out as clear glass and later turned purple, or maybe not.
That little piece with the little legs may have been for an old iron. My Granny had one and I mean the old sit it by the fire solid iron shirt iron. Haha no plug in.
Mr. Chigg... Great video, as always. Not sure but I think that "trivet" item that you found might be used to rest a "flat iron" on when ironing clothes. Especially if it was too hot.
I found the U half US box plate and about a year later found the S part about 40 yards from the first part, probably about as far as they could have thrown it! Cool video Thanks for sharing.
I remember watching a program and they were putting in a parking lot on Monday and a archologist lady got permission to do one last check over the weekend, because there was reason to believe it was an important archeological spot. They came back and found her digging out a skeleton with a massive hole in the skull, when they asked her what weapon would have caused that, she said , oh , I did that with the pick!. So much for a college education in archeology, you could go to 3rd grade and know you were not supposed to destroy the find as you take it out. He just refused to move back a few inches no matter how much you coached him. I'm surprised the half he found isn't whacked.
Sorry about the buckle still hiding from Mike. Next time rub the wobbly kitten for good luck. Something else, Chigg has my respect for his concern of disturbing a microcosm living in a bottle. It’s like being thankful for what Mother Earth provides.
The area you think was a root celler reminds me of the root celler that the property that I grew up on. Ours was about the same size has shelves along tw p walls were we stored canned goods and then we stored our potatoes on the at the back. There was a storage shed built over the top of the celle. We stored our crocks of pickles in the shep along with the overflow of our potatoes and surplusof canned goods.
At 19:55. That is a glass insulator from a house. From the pole to the house , alot of people ( usually people who collect glass insulators) also collect those as well,, they are less likely to be found and saved.
Do you remember we met 3 years ago at a UK Rally . I was the English guy living in Austria right ontop of a Roman settlement. You gave me your mail address and asked me to contact you with regard to coming over . I wrote with an invite but never heard back . Did you get the mail ?
Congrats on the new TV show on I think the History Channel, something like River hunters? Your natural personality is better than most of the canned actors!
Lightning rods really work. Most people don't need them. I have a friend that lives on a hill in NH. Until he had a system installed, he got blasted by lightning pretty regularly. Luckily no extreme damage. worst a basement window blown out. Nothing he knows of for the last thirty years. Ben Franklin was a genius, you know.
We had that twisted metal lighting rods on the house when I was born. House was early 1900s . Lighting rod ran down side of the house to ground. I always thought the added metal was counter productive. The lighting rod itself had a large thin glass globe on it so if lighting did strike the house the glass would turn black or even shatter confirming a strike.
Some lightning rods were made of platinum I've heard,I found a roundish glob ,at an old home cite in the old part of town ,it rang up high on a metal detector on gold settings
Brother look inside that room area and in the end of its walls . Also brother I tried to contact you before but hopefully that being not answering it have nothing to do with the Saudi's guy . Remember I am An American. And served and love my country and my people.. my messages was very very important , I am not and won't be ever anybody's back climber, but sometimes it's good sharing the goodness with good people . Thank you brother.
Thanks Beau for helping me try to find it. I think it's there somewhere. See ya on the next one buddy.

Thank you for your cheerfulness, it does one the world of good
I'll have to get out there and help him continue the search!
I see those lightning rod insulators dated to the 1850's-60's they're pretty good finds

Thanks for taking us along on another great adventure 👍
I love those blue coloured lightning rod insulators!
Congrats to Mike for that nice find! I hope he finds the other half 🍀
Pretty coloured bottle too! 😍
It was nice seeing some items from your collection inserted into the video. 🙂
Great find Chigg be safe and GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏
Was hoping you guys would find the other half.
Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE
Beau, I thought you were going to snatch that shovel out of his hand! 🤣🤣🤣
always looking forward to your adventures!!!!
Thanks
Such fun times always
Great video Chigg, keep them coming. Always enjoy your program. 👍
Love it
Nice hunt, I liked that strap hinge the best. I just love sweet handmade items like that.👊👍
Great video and finds. Even though you didn't find what you were looking for it was still a fantastic hunt.
Hey Chigg and your friend
Hello Randle. 😎
Great video with more history. That glass you dug was an insulator. Had the same notch like the one on the rod. Glad you and Mike are hanging together.
Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
Informative video. Love learning with yin’s.
Good vid. Thanks
It's motivation to keep looking for it. Good luck and God bless.
I can't be bothered watching someone who won't listen to sense. They don't deserve to find something good. I love watching you Chig.
Thanls Chigg!
Hope you enjoy it.
Thank you Mr. B. !!! That other part could have iron on top of it. Or mabe not! Lol. I still have the black smith on my mind. The hay fork are ausome. You can't even buy one it seems. Great video.

Awesome day out there chigger Great adventure I enjoyed it as usual you're the best👍
Thanks again sir 👍
Love the bottle. Sorry you didn't find the other half of his buckle.
Nice hunt guys I really enjoyed the video, catch you on the next one. 🇺🇸
Luck !!! 👍👍👍😁
The low and lousy signals always finds the best finds! You have my permission to record every find!
You teach and expand minds like mine with metal detecting. We just Love your expressions.
That place definitely seems to have some potential for sure. Happy hunting and be well
Always educational.
My son Mike, I call him Todd his middle name. I love watching your guys videos.
I was having a heart attack right there with you when he was digging 🤣
Great video! Thanks!
that bike crank is worth more than anything u found ,keep it MIKE WOLF my want it for sure .
Awesome
He was scaring me Chigg digging that close
Really enjoyed this!
That bottle’s purple, how unusual, love it!
I was just reading the other day that some old clear glass would turn purple with age because of manganese in the glass, or something like that. So maybe that one started out as clear glass and later turned purple, or maybe not.
I guess they stopped using manganese in bottles around 1915, then switched to selenium as a clarifying agent? Those purple bottles are cool!
Good stuff Chigg ya should’ve held up that insulator base and got Mike all worked up .
"Be careful Mike, you don't want to hit it" meanwhile Beau digs like he's killing a zombie with a toothbrush. Haha.... j/k Chigg
Almost time to get back on the River Chigg.
That little piece with the little legs may have been for an old iron. My Granny had one and I mean the old sit it by the fire solid iron shirt iron. Haha no plug in.
The spiral rod that supported the green glass insulator would make a cool repurposed towel rack in the shop. ✌
Mr. Chigg... Great video, as always. Not sure but I think that "trivet" item that you found might be used to rest a "flat iron" on when ironing clothes. Especially if it was too hot.
Nice Job Buddy!! REGARDS JJ
Benjamin Franklin his invention 🌩 lightning Protection Beau !!!; ) fun Fact!!
I found the U half US box plate and about a year later found the S part about 40 yards from the first part, probably about as far as they could have thrown it! Cool video Thanks for sharing.
Chigg makes me want to go out and dig up my yard.
I remember watching a program and they were putting in a parking lot on Monday and a archologist lady got permission to do one last check over the weekend, because there was reason to believe it was an important archeological spot. They came back and found her digging out a skeleton with a massive hole in the skull, when they asked her what weapon would have caused that, she said , oh , I did that with the pick!.

Reporting in!

Really, at 5:10 I'd have slapped him upside the head... seriously DON'T DO THAT. LMAO
👍 O well, it's still cool 👍
That belt buckle your buddy found was a Confederate Sword belt buckle good job
The round brass item goes around the glass insulator for attachment to building .
The area you think was a root celler reminds me of the root celler that the property that I grew up on. Ours was about the same size has shelves along tw p walls were we stored canned goods and then we stored our potatoes on the at the back. There was a storage shed built over the top of the celle. We stored our crocks of pickles in the shep along with the overflow of our potatoes and surplusof canned goods.
The oval goes with the glass insulator. It is what held the glass flat to the house, and then the lighting rod is wired to it with the wire.
that ring object with opposing holes could be the outer face of a gauge..but idk. ❤the hunt!
2:02 BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH, ''I'M GONNA LET MIKE GET STARTED''....... GEE, YOU'RE SO CONSIDERATE!
Man, the sound of that Garrett makes my skin crawl!
The small trivet you found, I have seen similar pieces on older Ben Franklin stoves as a decoration and may have been nickel plated at one time.
The one oval peace you found looks like a base for a clothes iron
That is my guess as well. A trivet for a sad iron.
good site found some things not what you went for but still interesting thanks sandman in fla
I never see the links to other channels you say you'll add in the description.
Their in a pinned comment.
The little trivet thing you found at 18:30 looks like a holder for a bar of soap.
When are you going to do another cave?
❤️
Just a quick note Chig. The Roman's were using concrete 5,000 years ago.
At 19:55. That is a glass insulator from a house. From the pole to the house , alot of people ( usually people who collect glass insulators) also collect those as well,, they are less likely to be found and saved.

The trivet you found looks like a trivet for an iron … for ironing clothes. I’ve seen a few.
I have found two wreaths, but no tongues.
Congrats on the new TV show on I think the History Channel, something like River hunters? Your natural personality is better than most of the canned actors!
I would not want to leave after I find something like that
Yes
That’s why I dig by tones. Numbers are secondary.
Lightning rods really work. Most people don't need them. I have a friend that lives on a hill in NH.
Until he had a system installed, he got blasted by lightning pretty regularly.
Luckily no extreme damage. worst a basement window blown out.
Nothing he knows of for the last thirty years. Ben Franklin was a genius, you know.
I can just smell that good earth.
He will find it sooner or later😁😉
The door hinge is identical to most at Colonial Williamsburg.
Dang shame y’all didn’t find the other part of the buckle.
21:09 is hinge pin for a barn door or gate. Your piece is static and the door has a pin that goes into it.
Looks like a hot iron trivet for cloths .
Great video and channel, down to earth. Do you have any channel decals?

@ 18:22 is that not a sad iron trivet?
👊🤩👊
Awesome job.
Im babysitting right now can someone remind me to watch this in 2 hours please.
Sure.np
Watch this in 2 hours.
@@lucasdog1 I meant when two hours passed but thanks I'm not gonna forget now😄
It's been 2 hours Chigg is on😃😆😂🤣
Brother look inside that room area and in the end of its walls . Also brother I tried to contact you before but hopefully that being not answering it have nothing to do with the Saudi's guy . Remember I am An American. And served and love my country and my people.. my messages was very very important , I am not and won't be ever anybody's back climber, but sometimes it's good sharing the goodness with good people . Thank you brother.
Hell, who needs a detector with all that awesome free stuff laid out? Ripe for the pickin
The ring at 23:44 is a fastening ring that held the insulator in position.
You should use small throwels like the archeologs are using?
Ben Franklin invented the Lighting arrested
