  • Please join me and my friend, Matt, as we metal detect a civil war camp in the lower Shenandoah Valley. We find some really great civil war relics and Mike from GR8Finds even stops by to detect with us for a few.
    About Aquachigger:
    I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes 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 by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my TH-cam "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
    BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

    This was a fun metal detection. Matt finds a nice Virginia button and we both find our share of bullets and other relics. Hope to see some of you guys at Digstock at the end of March. Be sure to say "Hi" if you have a notion to. Digstock III: www.digstockevents.com/

    Is this in the Moorefield area? I met a nice farmer in that area that let me hunt his pasture field. I was there twice after working in the area, probably a few hours each time and got a nice little handful of bullets each time. I didn't find much other than bullets, but there was very little trash. I need to go see him again now that things are thawing out and see if I could pop something good out.

    I saw where you are going to stop doing the TH-cam thing,, OK, that is your right as a free person,but also heard it was because of what people are saying and your not getting the subscribers yet people are watching your videos. Now.Maybe I see things different than you but when you allow people who talk scrap dictate your moves it is called giving up, Did not think you had that in you. Anyway, If you want to stop because your tired and want to do other things it is cool and I get it but I really want you to understand that your real fans who have subscribed are many maybe not as many as you would like but, We do enjoy and will miss your cool videos that teach as well as entertain. Good luck.
