- We are back on the river metal detecting with RelicManMatt. We returned to the relic honey hole and couldn't believe how many relics were left from our first trip. I was able to get some good underwater footage of relics and fish. It was a relic trip for the ages.
As always this is a how to metal detecting outdoor adventure vlog that is family friendly and hopefully a fun video.
About Aquachigger:
I like to make videos that promote my lifestyle of 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. I keep my TH-cam "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
I hope to see you guys out there!

Hot dang! RelicManMatt and I got into some more fine relics. This was another trip to remember. I was surprised at how fast the patina (color) of the belt plate and cartridge box plate changed once they were out of the water and exposed to oxygen. I have included pictures of both patinas. Do you prefer the before or after color?

@aquachigger I prefer the "after" patina.
Hopefully you will give the box plate to the young man as they belong together with the bullets...Best nugget.

Oh my nenith Chigg, you're going to clean out the river out of all of the civil war relics dude.
Heinze 57 Varieties.
Congratulations to you and relicmanmike. You were due to find a treasure spot in the river. My sympathy to family and friends of the soldier(s )who may have been lost here.
Chigg, your simply the best!! Wouldnt watch anyone else. You rock sir congratulations
I appreciate that
You are absolutely the best relic hunter I've seen. I really enjoy your videos and I'm just amazed at the finds you produce. Stay safe and best of luck.
No doubt at all. 100% agree
CHIGG,
I haven't been on for a while, but I am back and really happy
you are OK, I did see that petroleum muck video and thought you had been beat up:)
You underplayed it, but it was a great Day for you and Matt and you
showed your class by giving him that Cartridge container plaque!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Once again....WOW!!! That is an incredible day.....I'd love to know the story behind all those artifacts.....whether it was a wagon tipped over (like you had mentioned) or another story. Very happy for you both and thanks for sharing!!!
What a day. The place to be in the heat of the day. Thanks for sharing.
I bet he is mot happy that you found 2 US PLATES ! you know how rare those are. They are very valued!
Another killer day. So many great finds.
Great hunt gentleman,outstanding...
All i can say is WOW.. You both had an amazing hunt with crazy super finds. All the best John
Nice day on the river. Awesome finds.
Wow. A very exciting day! Congratulations!
That’s incredible to find so many civil war artifacts in the same place!! So exciting!!
The air was hot, the water was hot, and the diggin' was HOT! Really nice finds, congrats to you both.
Simply Well Done!!! Plus the Blue Gill Have Some Fun As Well!!!; )
Another Great Adventure! Thanks, Beau.
Thanks again!
Hello Chigg, WOOOHOOO!!! Great finds for sure. Be safe and take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 😇🙏👊
Man! Y’all killed it again! Congrats to both of you!
Great finds and thanks for sharing.
Sick AF day
Just thinking that either two dudes defected and threw their stuff in the river, or you found where two dudes drowned... either way, the lore is amazing.
Exactly! And the best part about this hobby is you can make up a story if you wanted to 😂 because no one truly will know how those items got there.
The gold tooth they found on the other hand 😬
Especially when they found some grape shot next to the tooth
Superb finds! Thank you for sharing with all of us.
Awesome , great relics. Thanks Chigg.
Hi Chiggsley! Just wanted to take a moment to thank you. From the bottom of my heart, I want you to know your content has been bringing me happiness for years now. I really want to get into metal detecting because of you, but haven't pulled the trigger on buying a machine yet. I did however rescue an old Garrett detector from the 70s or 80s I think from my parents! It worked for about 6 minutes, and poorly I might add, before it went kapoot. Anyway, thanks for all the smiles and good humor. You truly are a joy to watch in all your adventures I wish I could share. Keep on truckin, I'm on a less adventurous quest now to taste a Paw Paw fruit.
This video reminded me of when my oldest son would sit with me on the sofa when he was little and he would always hold his breath when you told us to. Great finds!
Oooooh noooo ! Chigg is swimmin with the fishes🐟. Awesome finds today Chiggy!!!!! 🤪
some epic finds would love to detect America and gold hunt one day
Great finds
Nice Finds 👍
You were really upsetting those bluegills 😆
RelicManMatt never leave relics to find relics! Especially if your hunting with the Chigg! That's when he'll find all the good stuff! Great hunt guys!
That's some cool digging on a hot day. Incredible finds for sure. Thanks for sharing!!!
Figured there had to be more stuff in that area ! Part of the remainder of those 2 Infantry kits ! I was hoping you'd find the plates, and darn if you didn't !!! That's awesome. Pretty amazing those percussion caps were still intact. Great day for you guys.
We are still missing one box plate and one belt plate. ;)
@@aquachigger That'll be "Part 3" of the adventure, got my fingers crossed that you'll find the other Enfield butt plate too👍
I'm jealous. We hardly see any of this stuff in North Alabama.
Was there a known skirmish at that point ? Wonder how deep it was there 160 years ago ? GREAT FINDS...
Awesome CHIGG million dollar day so to speak. 👏👏congrats
👍Some one likes your videos!!
I hope so!
Hope you all are going back to that area...great stuff ❤
SIMPLY OUTSTANDING 👍🤠🤙✌️
Congrats dudes. I'm sure you had a lovely day
Keep your eyes open for the family of the angry, butt-biting beaver!!! They might be out for revenge!
I wonder if that exploded artillery shell directly contributed to your found relics.
Been relic hunting here in Virginia for 40+ years. A two-plate day is a rarity these days! Got to savor those moments! Guessing you were relic hunting Saturday as it hit near well 100° here in the Virginia Piedmont! Great hunt! Maybe it's time to switch to water hunting!
Holy crepe’!!! What a fantastic day guys. Two US plates, a butt plate, bayonet, bullets, and a cool looking stove piece.
Would it be possible to come in there with a chainsaw or winch to move those fallen trees out of the way? Or just too massive?
Watch out for that beaver. He may be kin to that rabid one you had to put out of his misery. Thanks for that awesome video. 🎉
I would be in there with a "Come Along" hooked to those trees and move them out of the way. No telling what is still laying under all those logs. And by the way I can't believe these youngsters haven't heard of Carly Simon!
What a great hunt!!
Do I see that the belt is still fastened? Is there a soldier in there too you think?
It's possible for sure.
Two soldiers ditched all that stuff and skeedaddled, or died there.
I think half the fun is just imagining how that stuff came to be there.
Great video, Chigg! Thanks for sharing
Awesome finds❤❤❤
Awesome video again sir, im down here in Wytheville. Thinking about searching the new river
That was excellent
man i really enjoy you vibe, its like i know you in real life. I wish you a good life man
Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
Wow great fine
It’s a good song
How exciting!!
Congratulations to you both on finding some amazing historical treasures 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great hunt
Awesome finds but thinking about it, it's sad to think how those wound up there. Between the fired bullets and the artillery shell base.
I prefer the before colours, brighter red and blue.
I've never found a water plate but always loved how beautiful they come out. However, even though they looked great coming out of the water I like how they morphed into the patina they now have. They still look fantastic and have that beautiful aged patina!
I caught one too many giant snapping tutrles as a kid to wade in fresh water....pools are the exception.
What an epic day. Congratulations to both of you.
Wow!
Love seeing that history being saved. awesome guys.
Cool!
NICE FINDS
This a great day you are the man if I'm not hunting the beaches I'm watching you
Chigg could find Civil War bullets in Antarctica.
Wish I could hear the story of how those ended up there. Congrats boys!
Love the US belt plate
One of your better days! You two are great….
Yay! A long one at a perfect time to grab a beverage & watch my favorite picture show!
I hope you enjoy!
@@aquachigger Enjoyed it very much, Professor. Thanks so much for sharing.
utterly love your vids and finds, watching from here in lancashire england where summer has very annoyingly missed us completley and wishing i was in your hot river fishing for luckies . congrats on the awesome finds guys
That's a WOW!!! episode! That was really fun to watch! Congrats you guys! Rk.
A belt buckle and a box plate. You two found a great area.
These kinds of days definitely got yours and my blood to pumping! I know we're a few potential places like this are around me and these videos develops an itch to go and investigate. Great video!
Thanks
You Boy's Are Being The Dog's Today. 😎👌👍✌
Amazing Civil War relics, Chigg. Congrats on your box plate and buckle, I like the patina after they dried. Great day!❤
Congrats to you both
Surprised you didn’t give him that plate. He was all over that.
Jackpot with those bullets. Nice finds!
Very awesome.
I would assume finding all those artifacts in the water might indicate` the possibility of some amount of mayhem that caused them to be left there. If anyone died on that spot long ago, well, God bless them and I hope they're resting in peace.
Excellent finds
Amazing how that stuff is out there to be found 🎉🎉🎉
Aloha Chigg & Matt, Dropped box of bullets, butt and stuff, the belt's still buckled, so the day was rough.
Another great day in the water
Wow what a Hot spot you guys found what great finds🎉
Awesome finds you guys
Wow! Outstanding
Your the GOAT!
EXCELLENT Finds guys!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Chiggs, you and Matt had an incredible day finding civil war relics. Mike missed out on that adventure. So excited for you on the US plates. Must be an incredible moment holding them in your hand. 👍👏😀
❤❤❤ I'd be hunting there all day, every day, all summer long!
Incredible!
Great hunt!!
I love your videos Chigg, out of cutiosity, with the buckles, do you clean them up, (polish them, get rid of the tarnish) or do you leave them as they are. Your videos make me want to go out and get a metal detector, but I live in NW Indiana, no civil war relics around here.
It's best to leave the original patina on them.
May I ask what that cartridge plate came up as on your detector? Great finds. Congratulations
Two soldiers dumped that stuff and skeedaddled, or died there. Keep going till you're sure it's all out!👍
