Fun hunt. A few years ago, I found a silver thimble and a gold cap in a pile of trash. The shell pile is unreal. Thank you for all you do to bring us along.
That’s a huge field makes me tired just looking at it let alone walking it for 3 hours. interesting finds, crazy to find a gold cap. Maybe there was a dentist there back in the day… thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
Hey! When I was a kid in the late 50's early 60's we lived in Delaware and would go to my aunt and uncle's place in Maryland, I think near Salsbury? Not sure. But as kids, we all played and collected buttons that were the material that made up their driveway. I mean thousands of them. Thier driveway could fix 3 cars at least. All paved with buttons. And back then, I don't think they were made from plastic, maybe some type of shell? I asked my uncle how they got them, and he said they were rejects from the button factory and they would sell them to folks for whatever reason. Every hear of this??? Just one of those childhood memories that stick in one's mind. A driveway made of buttons!
Oyster shells by themselves work great for a septic drain field in place of stone.. Clam shells d not as they can nest and not allow water to flow through as well.
Chig, they say when John Smith explored the Chesapeake, he picked good settlement places, in part, by the oyster shell piles. I've been told there where 30' tall piles until the early 20th century. All gone now. They made cement out of them. Old Baltimore, D.C., and Annapolis were all built, supposedly, with oyster shell mortar. Peace.
A “Doo-Dad”. 😂. We say that too sometimes. Looks cold there. Brrrr….. Wow! I wonder if someone was into fisty cuffs and lost their tooth that way. 🤔 I remember when Dad used to buy oyster shells for the chickens, but not like that pile! 😳 Interesting finds. 1882 LC Queen Victoria! Awesome! Nice ! Joe Pesci ! 🤣
The brass piece could it possibly b part of a pick set so the soldiers had a way to clear the breach plug if they had to a lot of times they were attached with a small chain idk just a guess tho
Interesting finds , I've heard at one time the farmers would crush up the shells and spread it out over fields they say it adds calcium and something I can't remember into the soil .
The crumbly thing looks like a two piece tarp grommet. Shells can also be ground up and added to the soil. It provides calcium and in tomato crops, prevents Blossom End Rot.
There's a town in southern N.J., called Bivalve, where they harvested shellfish, Oysters etc. I visited it years ago and they had piles of shucked oysters and they Reeked.!!!!! It was so bad the my car tires still smelled horrible a week later. Aren't you lucky that the shell pile wasn't fresh... yikes! There is a midden or shell mound on the tidal flats near Little Egg Harbor , Tuckerton, N.J. It is the largest in the North Atlantic and was the result of many, many years of Oyster and Quahog foraging by Native Americans like the Leni Lenape . At one time it was estimated to have been at least 20 or 30 feet high and there is still 2 to 4 feet below the present water/marsh line. 100 feet long, 15 to 20 feet wide and presently 12 feet above the marsh.

If there is a DB in the key number of the Clum key you found it is for an early Dodge Brothers. There may even be a patent date on it? I have one for Dodge brothers that has a 1916 patent date.
Hey Chigg In your opening interview of the fellas about there finds is that a white hair we see flapping in the breeze to the right stuck by your camera lens? Great hunt, as usual!
If you took that pile of seashells, and ground it up with some lava rock and pieces of terra cotta planting pot.... you'd have a pretty good imitation of Roman concrete.
This was a great hunt. I hope you enjoy it and don't miss the gold toof!
Fun day.
Awsome I'm in VT your rhe man ..inneed to get out more..

Thank you Mr. Chigg.
Fun hunt. A few years ago, I found a silver thimble and a gold cap in a pile of trash. The shell pile is unreal. Thank you for all you do to bring us along.
It’s amazing what is still just a few inches under the surface of the dirt.
So jealous of all these videos, to be in the cradle of our great nation metal detecting is so cool! Keep up collecting and saving our history
Glad to hear you are enjoying them.
Great to see you in the fields chig,though I do enjoy your river hunts
Me too
Nice founds 👍
That's my first time seeing a gold toof find😉♥.
It's quite beautiful there ! and the ocean there in the background ! What a fun trip !

Aloha Chigg, shells are for lime. egg shells also. Thanks for the friendship.
Thanks. They also use them to paved the roads on this farm. That's why I included the picture of the barn at the end.
@@aquachigger Thanks Chigg, sure beats mud. A blessed Resurrection Day!

I believe it.
I think shells repel slugs..... Mary Contrary story tells how the garden grows.
well i think they use the shells to build up the soil. I have seen shells used as part of an organic soil base in organic garden beds on the coast.
some nice finds well done 😊

I've heard that, but on this farm they are putting them on the roads.
I guess it would work once it's broken up and packed that's cool. Thanks Chigg
Calcium would raise the pH of the soil and make other nutrients available for plant uptake.
Those oyster shells are ground up & given to chickens to strengthen egg shell at laying so chicken don't die.
The crumbly thing looks like a two piece tarp grommet. Shells can also be ground up and added to the soil. It provides calcium and in tomato crops, prevents Blossom End Rot.
Nice catch. Thanks
Thanks
Be safe and GOD BLESS

Yep, dead sea life smells worse than about anything in my book.

It's a tie off for my mic.
The Ending 😂😂😂
That claw bronze thingy you found looks like a hook for a belt buckle

Texas pattern gascock , hook rubber tubing to gas lights
I didn’t find anything ever but lost my KAA at Fenway Park and my kids on Cape Kad !
The piece that fell apart in your hands resembles a drum brake spring retainer
Seashells are a source a slow-release lime

Possibly a bull nose ring
