Metal Detecting River With Homeless Camp and Railroad Bridge
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2023
- Today we explore and metal detect a river that seems to be loaded with a lot of modern trash. We take a close look at an old railroad bridge and even get some video of a CSX coal train crossing it. Nearby exploring leads us to an abandoned homeless camp right next to the railroad. But things turn out okay, treasure-wise, and we find some good bottles and even some Civil War relics.
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.

Out and about again on the river exploring and looking for relics. It was a fun trip for me and I hope you enjoy tagging along.
Always!👍👍
👍🏻
Great vid as always chig..
Please could you let me know if the song at the end of your vids is a song you wrote and performed in ya younger days..! 😁
Thanx for the vids chigg..always so happy to see one pop up.i cNt believe it's been so many years on TH-cam already ❤❤❤😂
Always…
Thanks for dragging us around 😉
That train was carrying Electric Car Fuel!
Too bad so many don't really realize that. But you gave me a good chuckle. Thanks😊
Some of that black rock electricity.
@@jeffroth1731 It is Plant Based material, which should make the vegans happy 😊
😅
Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Is the old cave exploring motto. “You packed it in, you can carry it out”!
Aquachigger is on the river, makin a video to deliver on TH-cam.
He’s fired up and metal detectin’ his camera is on so I’m bettin he’s got something cool.
But when he tries to explain he hears the rumble of the train, every time he tries to talk he feels like he’s being stalked. He got the Troll Train Blues.
Troll Train blows him out his shoes he knows it’s no use, he got the Troll Train Blues.
There you go Chig thanks for sharing your adventures
The ceramic cone you found under the bridge was a pot we used to use to Butae weld the rails together to get rid of joints. back in the 70s I was a foreman on a welding gang in Iowa , We had bags of springs and old ball bearings with stuff like gun powder. We put a bag in the pot in a metal frame and put it over the two ends of the rail , we put a hard sand form on the rails and put a torch in the form and heated the rails cherry red, then lit the material in the pot . It would start boiling and turn into molten steel and melt a brass plug in the bottom of the pot and poor into the form. When it cooled we ground the top of the rail and no more joint. We laid quarter mile long rails and welded the ends for continual rail sometimes many mile long.
Good hunt Chigg. All that trash speaks volumes about people.
100% a bath tub . Cool video.
I've seen previous videos where you have come across more homeless camps. There are too many reasons for their existence and you have always shown compassion and understanding. There may be a lot of trash left behind, but most of us will never be in their shoes, and will never understand their stories. Thanks for making sure it was "only trash'. We realize it could have been so much worse.
If people would suddenly, and out of nowhere receive lashings for all the trash they leave behind... there'd be less trash on the river. Shame it don't magically happen.
There should at least be mind boggling fines when caught. Much harsher the current ones that haven’t kept up with inflation. If I were Governor I would raise the fines and strictly and enforce them. Then use the proceeds to clean up these places. Not to mention some mandatory community service time cleaning up the river to boot! This would make people think twice! Nobody now is afraid of a $500 fine. It should be 10x that!
Thanks for sharing another hunt with us. Stay safe pal 👍
Every year we have a beach clean-up. Folks come out and gather tons of ropes, plastic, etc. then there is a big cookout to celebrate at the various cleaned beaches. Maybe some people who would like to have their favorite places on this river could get together to do the same. I take part every year in beach cleanup and it’s fun!
GREAT idea! Communities could have weekend clean-ups!
If people would just be responsible for themselves that wouldn’t be necessary. That is what is really sad.
@@melw2100 People aren’t usually Responsible for themselves so things like this ARE necessary. Weeping and moaning and Wishing that it were different cleans no streams or beaches! So go spend a day with your family paddling your favorite water and take Home a few hefty bags of junk left over the past 50 years or so. Have hot dogs and S’mores and Pat yourselves on the back that you have done a good thing! Make it a yearly or so summer fling!
@@wandapease-gi8yo every time I walk along the creek by my house I clean up trash and fishing line so I do not need lectures from you. What the world needs is for people to clean up after themselves. That really is not too much to ask. PS…I don’t eat hotdogs because pigs suffer for them.
Great vid chig. Appreciate the amount of effort you put in to keep the content coming 👍🇺🇸
Much appreciated
Liked reference to stone henge as ironically passed there yesterday , amazing .!
Virginia Dare is a wine bottle, Chigg. I'm glad you found the Civil War artifacts!❤
“Sometimes I hate people.” Me too, man. Me too. 🙁
All your adventures bring smiles to our faces, Chigg!
awsome vid buddy...gotta say tho it makes me sick to my gut what we have done to our rivers and all other water on earth much less the land aswell its just sickening
I enjoy the metal detecting near the water.
Lol I'm with you on the people.. I do not like a crowd. I mentioned before, I love your exit song. Lyrics are true!
Still having fun watching your fun..keep safe...thanks for sharing 👍🤗🪶🍀
Virginia Dare wine bottle.....I guessed early 1900s machine made. Looked it up. Good condition! They have been made over a long time it seems. Judging the top it's probably early machine made. 1900-1920s, hehe.
Troll trains, samsquanch and Rickyyyyy ♥️
That cone looked a bit like a thermite cup to welt rails together, but could be my imagination.
Train tracks make really good anvils for us who are starting out in the bladesmithing realm
That was awesome!!!!!!! Such cool relics, those mini balls are awesome; I've seen quite a few of the 2& 3 ringers, never saw one like the first one, with no rings, very cool. That Coke bottle was a beauty, it all blew my mind, thank you Chigg!!!💖🤯
You got to the "choppuh".... 😂 thanks mate, good show
Love the steam punk plumbing thingy
I'm late! Enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for shareing.
Aloha Chigg, Chemtrails and all. The sound and feel of that train just rocked the memory banks. Thanks for the companionship!
Yellow Jacket Nest Frenzy. not the bullet that pierced the right testicle of one unfortunate Confederate soldier which then lodged itself in the womb off an equally unlucky union nurse wading beneath, what was: Bob's pool, all those year's ago... was it? mother and child did extremely well. bemused sacless Confederate wss certainly none the wiser.
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Thank you for taking us on the hunt. Respect from England. 🤝🏻
Yellow Jacket Nest Frenzy. Next tine's oy
That plumbing fixture looked like something the 3 Stooges put together.
Awesome video man!
Found a treasure trove on My favorite River yesterday.13 sunglasses 2 prescription, hand full of lighters, and 4 cellphones 2 were still on, all in fifteen minutes. the area is over 150 long 10 feet wide. going back in a couple off days. The Area is in a remote section and hard to get to, but very COOL!
Good stuff Elisha, happy hunting!
We Dont No If We Dont Go But You Did And Got Some Lead Cool. 😎👍✌.
Great video. Always a joy to watch your videos.
Gotta love finding a good bartle! lol. Thanks for the video Chigg!
Hi Chigg...Item @ 10:40 could be a Goat bell.
Huckleberry Chig at it again....
I enjoy your company on each trip! Thanks for bringing me along!
As always you take us along on another great adventure thank you 👍
Thanks for the video, sir.
very good video my friend,👍👍🇮🇩
Thank you for a great video. Have a great week.
STILL GOOD TO SEE US ON A RIVER HUNT BUT NOT SO MUCH TRASH JUST A REMINDER THERES A GREAT MANY OLD DUMPS ALONG THE RIVER WAYS , GOOD HUNTING FROM SCOTLAND CHEERS 🥂. 😊
Hello Scotland 🏴 from Florida USA 🇺🇸
hi beau, do you ever regret that by posting these videos you've introduced many people to the idea of metal detecting waterways, thus increasing competition for relics? either way, i'm grateful that you do post them.
That looks like a nice old watch maybe the @nekkid watchmaker/youtube can repair it for you. make it look brand new again and work again. He does amazing work with less of a watch. I could be wrong it could be just a cheap one but you never know if it's not a cheap one it's worth repairing probably.😎
Stay safe Chigg!
1940 Beau that is a strange twisted Rock left side of your hand !? Huh!!
Nice finds Mr chiggers thanks for sharing
That’s funny I thought you were saying soul train!! Lol
Good hunt
The Garrett Bottle would be nice cleaned up and displayed in the Garrett Factory Museum.
Awesome.
Nice one Chigg 👍
Great video. I like how you explain and teach as you explore along so we can know what you're seeing and doing. Besides that you're a funny likeable guy. No you're not old. You are very intertaining and fun to watch.
😃 👍 🦫
I used to find old homeless camps.,was always thinking of that.happening.
Awesome possum
100% a bathtub, the rectangular side was the part that you would step over to get in the tub. Just ripped one out! Thanks for the continued content! Happy hunting and best of luck in your search!!
the tub was upside down.
@@adamliles2809 correct, it would have been tough to put water in it the way it was 😆
Keep up the good work chigg
I used to look in those kinds of places.for different things. Find all kinds of things.mostly junk ,but sometimes I would find treasure.
Yep, that's what keeps us going. Good luck to ya!
I remember the troll train video , seemed like it knew when you were going to say something 😂, at least you got a couple relics out of that creek. Thanks Chigg
Nice assortment Chiggmeister!
Chiggs army now has a chopper....
That ceramic cone was used in thermite welding, to join two railway rails to make continuous rail.
Pure io a volte odio le persone 😅
Bel video, bravo👍
Nice hunt. Been watching your channel for about a year or so. Finally subscribed.
A video from Chigg..day made :)
Thats a hard creek to hunt beau thats for sure .
The plumber'bong...
At 21:28 is that a bayonet on the bank on the left side of the shot? "Honey, let's go to the river this weekend...it's so beautiful this time of year." " Sure, sounds great, you want me to bring our garbage to dump in the river." "Oh sure, great idea." WTH is wrong with people? Schools should teach ethics, responsibility, courtesy, social integration.....history can wait until they are first civilized.
Yes! Education about how to treat animals and our environment.
Schools are too busy teaching kids they can be a cat or a dog if they want to be! I want my country back!
@@VickieV1333 TRUMP?
Chig still found some bullets and a good bottle. Congrats! (even in a junky spot,you find some goodies.) Rk.
The world would be a better place without people. Words from a wise old man. 😂
Rabid beavers, smelly dead people, animal bones, trash and more trash…. The lengths Mr. Chigg goes to bring us real metal detecting adventures.
no skunks or beavers today! I would have kept that stove burner, it looked like a cool ouroboros type thing.
There is definitely a lot more detectorist's than there used to be. out there!
Bathtub insert to cover and make an old one look better cover the crud lol❤
Chigg hey 👋
The H shaped white metal pice is one half of a locking bolts for a Sentry safe.
Yeah you found quite a bit of stuff that one thing you found but you never mentioned that triangle is tooth off a sycamore for cutting hay or whatever side of the road. Yeah good stuff. Those bottles were nice too. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Mystery item at 10:55 is a burner / flat wick holder out of a RR lantern.
That crazy pipe thing looked like a homemade stoner pipe
That was simultaneously the worst but also most adorable Arnold impression ever.
That ceramic cone was probably used for thermite welding on the rails.
Give us a behind the scenes Chigg on how prepare and stay out there all day. Do you keep lunch on the Kayak ? That my biggest problem is I get wore down fast and get weak and got to get something to eat. I tried pack lunch at time but Sandwiches get old pretty quick.
rabid bever bite, like you could win the lottery twice, lol
We get a lot of coal trains coming through W Tennessee from the coal fields in Wyoming.
Another great video from chigg
Reminds me of a story about a homeless camp under a bridge here in Florida. They had built a rectangle fire pit to cook over and just to have a fire. It had been there for years. One day a guy was metal detecting and discovered that the bricks their fire pit was really silver bars. Nobody knows where they came from except for it being Spanish silver. Speculation was it was from a ship wreck but nobody knows how they got to be under the bridge.
You pronounced it right Chigg. It's sounds like Haver de Grace but is spelled Havre de Grace, MD. I used to work for the state n that was my area, all of Harford County n part of Baltimore County.
The train is delivering all of that coal to my house for the upcoming winter... 🤠🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
Pisses me off how much people litter. One of my biggest pet peeves.
So sad to see all the trash 🙁
I don't know if you read your comment this far back but I'm trying to get caught back up without skipping anything.
First the lead piece that was round with the flat side I bet that was the end of the toy ( I think ) it was called a cap bomb ya know the 1 you would tear a cap off the roll then put it in close it and then throw it. Next I once before commented about cleaning up the waters and you took it wrong ( a few years back ) remember 2 things 1 mans junk is another mans treasure. I've seen you collect a lot of treasures over the years and also seen you take out your share of garbage ( like the broken bottle top ). Of you take out even 1 piece of garbage your making a difference. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the id's.
I think that bathtub is really a fuel cell for a train. Cool video!
Nah. It's a bathtub. Glass fiber with a molded in front (the proper word for it escapes me).
Stamped steel bath tub ✔, cheap
You got it Havre De Grace. But it is up in the 'armpit' of The Bay, up in Harford County area.
Damn rocks on top of that logger probably from somebody using the screen and sifting through the stuff to see if they could find old relics Arrowhead stuff like that coins buttons
21:28 That branch looks kinda like a bayonet.
Never ceases to amaze me how no one seems to take any responsibility gif the rivers in the States. There are so many charities and environmental agencies looking after local rivers in the UK. Although I suppose there must be a thousand times the rivers and empty areas there.
Nice bullet finds 😁👍
Pewn pewn! 💥🔫
