Old Abandoned Log House Exploration: Hidden Fireplace In Basement
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- Today we explore an old log cabin that was abandoned sometime in the last century. The house was a mess, but it was interesting to see the old and varied construction of the home that included a fireplace in the basement. The limestone and brick chimney was also a pleasant surprise for me to see.
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.

This was a fun old exploration. If you have any questions about what you see, let me know. Thanks for watching!
@@chasmcl42 nobody's entitled to likes lol
No metal detector? And what's up with the clothes throughout the house, pretty bizarre huh? The old house was cool.
You should have grabbed that stuffed "l love you" doll Beau!🤣🤣. Nice old log home though. 👍
@@PabloDiablo682 1190 = 833 years ago 😂 Lol
Chigg....hat thing on the porch you said "was not a computer," was a...."kapitchulator," (ka*pitch*u*later; a device used to surrender a persons asperations and/or their auras) from or to the astral plane of the, "wow man, cool, groovy, far out and solid type" existence, of the psychedelic plane in the 1960's to the early1970's, crazed mind-bending, drug induced, love and groovy experience type thingy, that nobody understands or remembers to this day! Except, maybe a few real, die-hard old hippies! I dough know!
Always amazing that a family home with so much history, something that would have been a luxury for so many generations could ever fall to ruin.
We are watching that happen in America now!
Sad watching old log homes just rotting away. We're never going to see timbers like those again. Thanks for recording it for history Beau.👍
Why is this sad, it’s progress, that’s the way it goes, round and round, out with the old, in with the new.
I love these longer wanders with Chigg! Always a fun time.
The basement of that house is very interesting, Beau. The old cistern was obviously well-built! Thanks for the explore. If that old home could talk, the stories it could tell!❤️
What an incredible view they had. So sad to see it all go to ruin.
I always enjoy your old house explorations. We live in an old farmhouse, the oldest part dating to the 1890's. Another part dating to 1909. There's a cistern under the side porch. I need to rebuild the filter basin that caught the water from the troughs and downspouts. We also have a shallow well lined with clay tile pipe, in the 'Mudroom' of the house. Our main water supply though is a 400 foot deep, drilled well. Great water, but high calcium. It always makes me a bit sad to see those old homesteads lost and forgotten.
What was once taken is now being reclaimed.
Thanks Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE
LOL reminds me of the Daffy Duck/Porky Pig cartoon "Why go upstairs if we can bring the upstairs down stairs!" and the upstairs collapses to the downstairs. LOL
That was a really fun explore!!! The ring mounted on the wall @ 7:44 would have held a kerosine lamp. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us the details on this property!!
I would have to disagree as it’s not a complete circle and the lamp would be at risk of falling out. I would say it’s a fire extinguisher holder which are open for quick removal of the extinguisher. It looks like there used to be a countertop underneath it so that may have been the kitchen possibly (outlet at counter height for a toaster?…)
@@48thstateprospecting that was my guess too!
Loved that door with the chain pull on it. Could see a beautiful table there. 😊. Thank you so much. A great adventure.
This was So Cool seeing you go through this old House !! 🤗 Thanks so much for sharing your video of it. ☺
Thanks
@@aquachigger Did you kill the #spottedlanternfly then report it to the #DEC
Love these tours of classic old homes and that gorgeous chimney especially!* Gezundheit! Aw, that poor old typewriter! As a writer, that's a travesty. Thank you for recording these things for history, for all of us, Beau !
Fantastic explore!! I love peeking into old homes, I can imagine the families that have lived there.
Thanks for checking out everything. So much more fun when all the staircases, cellars, attics, outbuildings are explored.
Thank you for taking us along on another great adventure 👍
Another great episode. Thank you for sharing with us 👊🤩👍
Thanks for the visit
Love ur vids! Thank you for making them for us!! ❤
A friend of mine bought a pre-civil war home. They took the front porch off to rebuild it and there were two marked graves of the original homesteaders. Somewhere near this home there are probably graves too.
I hope your wife was very understanding about missing Valentine’s Day. Thank you for taking us along on your little adventure.
I love finding these old places. I always look for News Papers! You found em Right in the doorway too LOL!
Appreciate your general knowledge of things, and how you talk us through your adventures 😎👍🏼
🙋♀THANKS!!👍
That is an amazing old house, in my country it would be an historic site because the oldest cottage here is maybe 1840s. Glad you got out of there alive.
2:08 1990? That’s 33 years. Time flies when you are having fun
Another interesting place!
This is the first time that I've written to you. I've watched your videos for several years, and I generally enjoy what you do. I'm writing in regards to one of the still photos that were at the end of the video. You showed a Lanternfly. Although it is probably futile, please tell me that you squished it. They are highly invasive and are spreading across the eastern US.
They were introduced in a shipment of landscape materials to Eastern Pennsylvania from SE Asia. I saw them in Pittsburgh last summer, so I'm not surprised that you're seeing them along the Potomac.
Anyway, take care and have fun exploring.
Thanks. It's too late to do anything about the laternflies. They are here to stay for better or worse I'm afraid. Just like the stinkbugs.
I drank beer on the porch of that place when I was 15. I'm 48 now. Good memories
Did anyone live there then?
You do a nice job explaining everything as you walk along.
Love the history of the old log house chigger 👍
This is fantastic upload my friend, everything is done masterfully here. Simply professionally edited and narrated 🔥🔥
Much appreciated!
Cool old place for sure!!
I agree, thanks.
Thanks Chigg for the cool ass adventure in history! Keep em coming please and thank you
Bless you!
Yep, you better get home mister, and don't forget the flowers...and the chocolates....and the diamond ring 😉 🌹💍💎
Despite all the debris that would be an awesome place to metal detect. Around here every ancient place we`ve found has yielded a few old coins or so.
Chiggs I hope you are going to metal detect that property. The house was creepy, so sad it went to heck. Nice tour.👏👍😀
Hope ya made it out! Gotta keep those Chig videos going. Enjoyed!
You should have held your phone in through the thimbal in the basement fireplace and taken a photo of what might have been hidden behind the cement wall. That could have been where they put all their gold coins but died off before telling anyone about it. Didn't you teach us anything, Beau?😁
Awe I want a baby buzzard! And of course some Paw Paw’s!
When I can't go out, the Chig does it for me. Thanks
Excellent video thank you 👍
Bless you.
0:38 bless you chiggles
Hope you got Home 🏡 ❤️ Thanks again for the adventure
I did. Not in to much trouble.
This is the second time I've heard you mention that going up the stairs and peeking over the top is the scariest part of exploring abandoned places because something or someone might be standing there waiting for you. I hadn't ever thought about it, but you're certainly right, and I think even if I hadn't heard it, i'd still subconsciously be worried as I went up stairs, and I bet most people have that fear without knowing it.
So all that being said, I suggest that from now on during these building explorations you should take abandoned clothes that always seem to be in these places and use a bit of junk to hold the clothes up in a human shape that people don't see until they peek over that top step. You'll give the next explorer the thrill of a lifetime and a great story by spending 5 minutes making a scarecrow lol
I dig Chigg. And, maybe that bracket was for a fire extinguisher. IDK
Wow! Alot of storys/ history from that house! I always feel kind of sad when going into houses, like that.I have to have a really good reason! I do not know ,how you do it Chic! Interesting ,to see how the house was heated.Pretty neat!👌Thank you!
Fascinating tour! Did they probably live in the basement originally, hence the fireplace at that level, long long ago, and then built stories over top later on?
I've never seen vertical lathe under the plaster before.. interesting.
And i'm always amazed at the amount/way trash manages to end up spread across abandoned houses like that. It's almost guaranteed in every instance. Weird. Just the course of various stages until it's totally abandoned I guess :/ Thanks for sharing as always!
SUPER cool place thanks for showing us 👍🏼
Nothing but love my chigga..sry buddy couldn't help my self
It sort of pulls on the heart strings a bit, knowing that home will either rot to the ground or be torn apart and dumped in a landfill. There are some awesome original wood beams in it and that fireplace is beautiful.
That was one old wood covered cold storage box in that root cellar there may have been a door laying around somewhere. I think that other one that was just galvanized was a cold storage box as well. Thank you sir I love these videos.
1990 was 33 years ago, not 23 years ago, if I heard you correctly. New Sub, good stuff. Happy trails.
Love the wood cabinet in the entrance be careful in there
Spooky old house.
Bless you. Remember the baby buzzards in the attic? Be careful chigg
What a Beautiful piece of property right on the River! I would LOVE to fix/restore up that place - (impossible I know), but a girl can dream!
Thanks for cool trip to a log building with a history that's probably interesting. 👍
Love the video what an old house. How do you find these old home stead’s. That’s so cool
I thought the place was AMAZING. Nice find.
Man that’s a old one Bet it was nice 100 years ago. Thanks. Gig from. Sc
Great video of a very old house. I think that metal holder on the wall was for fire extinguisher. Just guessing
Love these type of videos Chigg.
Cool old house. Love the chimmy
You are correct,think on the wall held a kerosene lamp,we had them in a hunting cabin we had in the Ozarks
That was cool Chigg! Those old Outhouses sometimes have some nice old bottles, etc.
The ole place must have nice in it's day. Sad to see such houses collapsing into ruin. I miss the sounds of barn swallows! Amazing the cistern still has water! It would be cool to metal detect the place and drop a camera into the cistern. The one foundation reminds me of a spring house, but the land curve is wrong, any signs of a spring near by?
I didn't see any springs but ran out of daylight so didn't get it thoroughly explored.
@@aquachigger ahh true..I kept thinking to myself as you were going up the 2nd floor stairs, remember to watch out for those buzzards! lol Like in your one video where a baby was hissing at you.
Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
Chigg typewriter, 👍
Bless you
Here in Scandinavia - mostly Denmark did we white-wash the old farms and houses with lime :-) Great video
The clamp attached to the wall could have been for a fire extinguisher!
Thanks for your video!
There must be a lot of mold in an old house like that….. not good for the lungs!
I remember another of your ventures in an old homestead. You let out a scream when a buzzard in the attic made its presence known!😂
I remember. Spring will be here soon and new baby buzzard jumpscares too....lol.
@@aquachigger 😂
Yeah @Gregory Barr I thought the same thing, that was before they started using Plastic for everything.
Enjoyed the video
Interesting! 👍
Fascinating as usual. Stop for a heart shaped pizza on the way home.
Bless you Chigg twice since you sneezed twice
enjoyed tagging along
Happy wife happy life for the chigg
Awesome
Great explore. Hope Valentines Day went well
Was that a RECORD at 3:00 ? Some of these things should be rescued ... and love the old wallpaper too .
@aquachigger I think the thing on the wall used to hold the old glass fire extinguishers that you would throw into the fire.
I'm sneezing just watching ya ;)
Probably just buzzard dander.
Used to be a barn with a Mail Pouch ad on the entire side of it close to my house. Collapsed about ten years ago. Then about 2 miles away there used to be a huge old octagon barn. That collapsed long ago but I remember riding my bike through it. There's another one not far from that one which has been kept up - looks like new. You don't see those too often.
A haunted house - excellent. :D
Scary thought is going in and having the floor give way, and now you're in the basement.
The wooden slats on the walls are lath (a short “a”, not a long “a”.). A lathe (long “a”) is a machine for turning down wood or metal into specific shapes.

My husband was replacing a window in a house his grandparents bought in 1915. The original house was built in the 1850’s or 60’s. Like what happens in projects of older homes he needed to pull more old boards off and could see something in the wall. It turned out to be a draft size horseshoe someone had placed there for luck. It worked! The house never burned. I now have it displayed and wonder what year it was placed in the wall.
Pretty cool !!
It’s sad to see those old houses left to fall apart
This is creeping me out, man, expellshelly when i found out. 40 yrs is old.
Last century!
I hope you did something about that spotted lanternfly you showed at the end!
This place has a very sad feel. And it seems that the last people to live here just took what they could carry and just left everything else behind !
Interesting you said this as I was just thinking the same. Beautiful but Sad.
Why so many clothes all over the place?
It would hold a fire extinguisher I bet. We had one in the 100 year old house I grew up in
I found your videos on TH-cam recently and I’m bing watching them all!! I’m getting a metal detector soon!
Welcome aboard!
The way the housing market was it could of been sold for a nice sum lol.
I love using the typewriter. Curious on the record on the floor?
Id say the hanger on the wall is not for a lantern but for a fire extinguisher!
