Okay, guys... I'm going to keep running these Fort Upper Track videos until they run out and that will be a while yet. I know some of you may be getting tired of the series, but I feel it important to get the videos out and published. As I said at the beginning of the series, we may have or may not have found the fort. The proof is entirely in finding the remnants of the palisade wall. Without that, we may only have discovered an early colonial-era home that burned. Follow Chigg’s Army!

Your videos are truly inspiring to me. Thank you so much for you and Todd’s hard work trying to locate the fort. Hopefully people will be more respectful.
Major props to the farmer who owns this land and is letting you continue amid the idiots trying to gain access. This is all our history and needs to be known. We trust you to do this.
No problem with me watching, it certainly has me intrigued. My thank you goes out to the owner of this property, for trusting you enough to let you detect on it. Happy to see Todd, and son along with you, a history teller in his own right.
While I always enjoy your detecting videos this series is fantastic! I have learned allot of history in this series and wanted to say thank you. I had never heard of Fort Upper Tract before this. Great work Chigg and crew!
Fantastic! Awesome series and the historic significants of the site needs to be addressed, you and Todd are the ones to do it. Keep it coming boys! 👍✌ "Dirty hands are happy hands"
I enjoy watching you unearth history! While others are destroying our past you are preserving it. Keep up the interesting videos and educational content.
@@nicolemegyeri5267 That's easy! "They" are the woke crowd, the statue vandals, The NYT Project 1619 and The most divisive curriculum of all, Critical Race Theory! And THAT'S what is destroying our distinctly American history, tradition and culture! Like it or not you are seeing the Balkanization of America right before your very eyes! I'm Andy not Annmarie and I wrote this post not her! Please direct all comments to me not Annmarie!
I will never tire of this series. Before you and Todd started detecting here, I had never heard of this fort. I am learning so much from these videos! Keep up the great work and keep the other jacka**’s off that farmer’s back! If you and Todd aren’t able to finish digging here, we may not fully know what happened or know how big the fort was.
@@ronwatson4287 we did move the boat at the very end. I found some pewter buttons there but everything is deep and to the edge of my coils ability. The farmer was open to having an Archaeologist come in there but so many charlatans have stopped there asking to detect it, the farmer may not even allow us back.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives That is so sad. I really don't understand some people. Just want the fame with no hard work. Great finds, great history.
Aquachigger, I hope you do find the Fort, I'm a descendent of people that were taken at Fort Sibert. Good luck and if you need any help I'm only twenty miles away in Cabins. Where I live there was an old Fort a few hundred yards from my house and the barn beside my house is built with the logsfrom the Fort. It was called Fort Power's for the family that owned the land writes of the time. But where the Fort set the area was destroyed back in 1985 when the flood happened.
Thank you for putting their souls to rest and telling their story, Beau! They can rest easy knowing we know they fought with everything they could. RIP
Woah, the artifact @ 11:30 looks to have a skull 💀 impression. It's probably just the patina. Still kinda cool what being buried in the ground for a few centuries will do. Awesome work Chiggster!
This is one of the best series of videos you have done, if you have more on this then bring it ON. More videos ? ------Run 'em, this is awesome stuff !!!
Wow, Chigg... I am so happy for you and your discovery. You guys deserve credit if this is the verified location. I'm talking name-in-the-history-books stuff!
These better keep coming Chigg I'm invested in this Fort Upperanaltract shit now. These videos keep me sane after a 13 hour shift and help me sleep. Can't doze off without watching one of your vids. Been loving the daily uploads recently on the Fort and cannot wait for the next. You have no idea how much your helping me out in life. Been watching for years. Please do more bottle videos. Have had to search elsewhere for them. Should do a collab with Wildkyle that lad knows where to find them and I think its something your channel is missing. Get in on it with him and his fossils and bottles. God speed Chigg and thank you very much for the escape away from mundane life on a daily basis. Just watched a video where you found a musket and goddammit as an Irish man who doesn't give many fucks in life that video had me intrigued. Your an ace in the game been almost 5 years or more since I've been watching you and never got tired of your videos. Wish I could afford a decent metal detector and join you on some adventures!
Howdy😃 at @5:41 regarding finding charcoal and the rocks in same space. On archaeological digs, when they find charcoal and rocks, a fire was there. If you know someone you can take the charcoal and have it analyzed and dated. Find out if you can rent a Ground Penetrating Radar? You'll be able to find where the stumps of the wood Fort was built. Considering most forts back then were built of wood. Or if you have a friend with a plane and Lidar that's even better. Good luck on future digs, history and archaeology has always fascinated me.
Chig. Speaking for myself, I think archeological evidence gathered that helps give fact and truth to America's history is never boring. I look forward to the recognition of this event in the history at at least the State level. Bored, not a chance - facinated!
Some of those flattened pieces of brass really look to me, at least, to possibly be holder pieces for ram rods on muskets, and one or 2 look to be parts of trigger guards.
I have been a meat cutter for over 26 years and that type of knife is used for skinning. Here in north central Texas the Comanche Indians were very fond of them. They were known to be used for scalping
Thank you for the update! Digging history.I wonder if there were any prisoners, ( woman, children) who were traded prisoners or escaped.There might be a record some where in family historys.I have read and watched storys of woman who survived Indian captivity from the mid to late 1800, s.There is a record some where!A lot of research! Where would a person start?
I’m inthralled by this series. Please find the holes for the palisades wall and as many artifacts in the plow line as you can. Further, you are a skid mark if you knock on the farmers door or trespass on the property. Please do your own research and find your own site.
Bloody claim Jumpers Chigg! Anyway, that being said I feel like this is an Important series. We honor these early settlers by remembering them and their fight to survive. Thanks for sharing the story.
Great job Chig! Would be nice to get the ground penetrating unit so you can find skeletons. Here in Buffalo we had the war of 1812 and in the cemetery they use the ground penetrating x-ray machine that’s on wheels the square box, and they found exactly how many people were buried there which was not very deep and they were stacked one on top of another British was in there too as well with the Americans. Obviously the British were in a corner of the cemetery
Hey Chigg - You're really keeping us on the end of our seats for that fort wall boundary! Are you currently offering your, "Chigg's Army" hats for sale? Can't seem to find a link to shop.
The smaller musket balls would be from the French 69 cal Charleville musket and the larger ones from the English 75 cal Brown Bess. Both balls for these muskets would be considerably smaller as to accommodate the common paper wrapped military cartridges of the day. There may have also been fowlers, trade guns and pistols of various calibers. Great hunt!
Are the drill hole buttons as you call them, solid metal? Or are they two pieces put together? Just from the looks of the second one in the video that you showed, it looked like it was a solid piece of metal which would be significantly heavy for a button on a garment from that time, or any time actually.
Hey im in with you chig this is a story ive not heard of i love history and like what you are doing in trying to find the fort that was burnd something lose to 300 years ago
What is the best guess why there no remains of teeth or some bones. Who cleaned up would be a recorded event if the military was involved. The tension to this story is building nicely Beau.👍
Will you report any of this so it could have a professional crew come and survey for archeology, or do the land owners not want anyone really there? Great you are finding it, now to really dig into the story would be awesome!
Nope nope nope nope. You found the site I know it because I'm an armchair expert! All of the evidence is too strong. Great find keep it up, keep the videos coming, your loyal fans won't mind because we don't F*** around and find out stuff! We sit back and watch a pro!
Have you come across any teeth or weapons and will the owner allow you to dig a perimeter to screen and search for bones and teeth belt buckles anything to say 100 percent that's it? and to showcase in the future and maybe set up a donation?

Thanks for watching…. The Chigg
who could be tired of seeing relics unearthed? isnt that kind of the point lol? and i guess some folks have trouble with the word "EXCLUSIVE".
I love this series. I wait anxiously each day for the video upload.
Your videos are truly inspiring to me. Thank you so much for you and Todd’s hard work trying to locate the fort. Hopefully people will be more respectful.
Hey chigg what's under the boat...
@@ronwatson4287 probably 263 year old palisades and a herd of colonial ghosts.
Major props to the farmer who owns this land and is letting you continue amid the idiots trying to gain access. This is all our history and needs to be known.
We trust you to do this.
Nope not tired. Love listening to you tell the story.
No problem with me watching, it certainly has me intrigued. My thank you goes out to the owner of this property, for trusting you enough to let you detect on it. Happy to see Todd, and son along with you, a history teller in his own right.

Just found your channel, lots of interesting finds. Thank you for sharing!

Amen
What past are they destroying and who are "They"?
It is destruction. This is not archaeology in any shape or form. Its looting.
@@napalmholocaust9093 are you a Archeologist?

People never cease to amaze me 🙄not sure why they would be so rude. Thank you for the videos Beau, hope your trip is going well! Stay safe!!
@Janis Joplin read his pinned post.
Really enjoying this series!! Thanks!
Man we found a lot of stuff there. Everyday like this....
Hey Todd chigg probably won't see my comment beat him to what's under the boat..

No!!!!?
I suggest showing the farmer your footage to prove your position as a legitimate history enthusiast
Keep them coming ! This reminds me of my favorite books the Leatherstocking series.
I've really enjoyed this series. I love the history as well as the hunt
I love history and I love what you're doing in this series. Very exciting. I'm subscribed to many TH-camrs. This one is priority number 1.
Love the series. Keep detecting and posting
First........great series, never heard of upper tract until this
Thanks

Sounds great Chigg y’all be safe out there and GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏
Keep running them. This series of videos is straight up awesome. So historically important and entertaining.👍👍☮️
I really like that you show pictures of what you find at the end of your videos! This was an interesting historical account!
I’m never tired of your videos very interesting and learning more of older US history even thought I’m a Canadian history is for everyone.
I'll hang in there to the end! History lovers are always trying to figure out the 5 W's. Very cool to watch you all work. Thanks Chigg.
Thank you for putting their souls to rest and telling their story, Beau! They can rest easy knowing we know they fought with everything they could. RIP
Chiggs it's history getting uncovered take your time buddy we be watching and following 🤘👍🍺
Woah, the artifact @ 11:30 looks to have a skull 💀 impression. It's probably just the patina. Still kinda cool what being buried in the ground for a few centuries will do. Awesome work Chiggster!
I am enjoying learning bits of history from all this. Keep up all the good work.
This is one of the best series of videos you have done, if you have more on this then bring it ON. More videos ? ------Run 'em, this is awesome stuff !!!
Getting closer! Can’t wait until the next time
Wow, Chigg... I am so happy for you and your discovery. You guys deserve credit if this is the verified location. I'm talking name-in-the-history-books stuff!
You got me hooked on this series Mr Chigg 👍🏽 im bustin for the next vid 🤗. Good luck from UK 😎.
This is a riveting series. Thanks!
Great job ! So many pieces of the past, exciting to watch!
Thoroughly enjoying this series. Amazing finds.

Love the metal detecting! Thanks! Makes me wanna get out and record!
You've inspired me into buying a Metal Detector!
@@ScottyPimpinATL I wish!
He inspired us to buy one some years ago. We haven't found anything too amazing but if you never done it before, it's alot of fun!
I have learned a lot from your videos, never get tired of them. You are very knowledgeable!

Good stuff Chigg, gotta few to catch up👍 thankya
It looks like the finds keep getting better.

Wow! Quite a hoard! Looking forward to the development of this site!!
Excellent job Beau!!
Thanks for the videos!
Possibly rewriting history. Soooo exciting!
Great Vidio My friend 🙏 thank for sharing dear 🙏 greeting from Indonesian traditional gold finder ⛏️⚒️🇺🇸🇮🇩🌸🌼✋👍
Some of those flattened pieces of brass really look to me, at least, to possibly be holder pieces for ram rods on muskets, and one or 2 look to be parts of trigger guards.
Thank you for preserving history, one squeaker at a time.
Beau.. I've been enjoying you over in the UK!
Thanks for watching!

keep them coming and thank you..... any captain bobby this season, those were also classic
At 3:40 it looks like some decayed cloth was still attached to the stem of that button. That didn’t look like dirt.

Amen!
Bloody claim Jumpers Chigg! Anyway, that being said I feel like this is an Important series. We honor these early settlers by remembering them and their fight to survive. Thanks for sharing the story.
Time to call in the archeologists. It's looking like you found the fort. Now you need confirmation. Good job.
your song chigg takes on a more and deeper meaning dont it.
Great job Chig! Would be nice to get the ground penetrating unit so you can find skeletons.

Is this really archaeology?
Hey Chigg - You're really keeping us on the end of our seats for that fort wall boundary! Are you currently offering your, "Chigg's Army" hats for sale? Can't seem to find a link to shop.
I'd love to see a lay out of where everything was gathered.
The smaller musket balls would be from the French 69 cal Charleville musket and the larger ones from the English 75 cal Brown Bess. Both balls for these muskets would be considerably smaller as to accommodate the common paper wrapped military cartridges of the day. There may have also been fowlers, trade guns and pistols of various calibers. Great hunt!
Chigg, you do a wonderful job, but singing the Mother Earth song is Awesome! I know your voice! Your Videos arent bad either!
Tell me about the song...?? Please..
Are the drill hole buttons as you call them, solid metal? Or are they two pieces put together? Just from the looks of the second one in the video that you showed, it looked like it was a solid piece of metal which would be significantly heavy for a button on a garment from that time, or any time actually.
A mass of Treasure's Beau!!!; )👍👍👍👍👍💯
Thanks, doc ... really appreciate your documentation, sir
Hey im in with you chig this is a story ive not heard of i love history and like what you are doing in trying to find the fort that was burnd something lose to 300 years ago
Good video, hard to date the finds to the fort but colonial for sure.
What is the best guess why there no remains of teeth or some bones. Who cleaned up would be a recorded event if the military was involved. The tension to this story is building nicely Beau.👍
He's only on the surface everything else is deeper
I just feel like those larger spikes/nails were used to secure the palisade planks to the other supports.
I think it's very interesting just think what those poor folks went through in the end
Will you have someone examine all your finds?
Chigg drops an F-bomb! Love it
I love the theme song. It is all you
Were the buttons on the clothes the people were wearing at the time of the massacre? It just seems so sad.
This reminds me of Al Capone’s vault. Please look for the timber’s already
Will you report any of this so it could have a professional crew come and survey for archeology, or do the land owners not want anyone really there? Great you are finding it, now to really dig into the story would be awesome!
We have reached out and I have contacted WVU School of Archaeology to several professors and nobody seems interested
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives Such a shame, I am glad to hear you presented them with the offer. Love your shows.
I've been watching you for many years why did it quit 3/4 away of the video?
Thanks Chigg. Bring it on
Can the site be excavated properly to reveal the actual site?
Those big odd nails. I would think those were from hinges of a big heavy door
Hey Chigg and Todd and whoever else is there
Did any of the bone fragments test to be human?
Nope nope nope nope. You found the site I know it because I'm an armchair expert! All of the evidence is too strong. Great find keep it up, keep the videos coming, your loyal fans won't mind because we don't F*** around and find out stuff! We sit back and watch a pro!
Have you come across any teeth or weapons and will the owner allow you to dig a perimeter to screen and search for bones and teeth belt buckles anything to say 100 percent that's it? and to showcase in the future and maybe set up a donation?
Please some one tell me who wrote that song. Was it chigger ?
have you found any burnt tiles/pottery?
That would be a better indicator than musket.balls that could've been used for target practice.
Didn't you mention that you were going to get in the water and investigate, "Chigg style?"
The lather musket balls may have been from Capt Dunlop’s weapon since he was the only military man there.
The end of that knife blade looks like a typical beaver skinning knife, all rounded like that.
Workin' Hard Chigg !
If they fought to the end. Why is an excavation needed?
