I Can't Believe I Survived This Treasure Hunt!

- This is a treasure-searching video in which I snorkel into a dump from the 1950s and search for goodies, including coins, military dog tags, bottles, and more. Sometime during the video, I accidentally uncovered an oily mess that coated me in a tarry substance like an Exxon Valdez shorebird. I am lucky I was able to clean up without lasting burns or worse.
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!

Oh boy, I think I am losing it. What a mess. But at least I found some cool stuff! (quietly sobbing)

oh, old oil is so stinky!! Well, that wasn't nearly as bad as what I invisioned. I thought you hid a sandbar and when flying out of the boat! Or a hill side bottle dump burried you.
The Chevy emblem looks like one mounted on the grill.
Yeah, google had some images for that brand of beer and their bottle openers and they were really odd looking.
And you even found a critter!
The artillery ordinance is drilled...remotely.
...try soaking your clothes in a solution of Cascade Dish Washing Detergent. That stuff works really great!!! I use it for a lot of cleaning. I use it to clean and reclaim microscope slides; wash the car; it rinses, drains, dries clean and clear with no water spots. I use it for a 'pre-soak' for tough to clean clothes, towels, utility cleaning rags; I'm always amazed at how clean it gets them!!!!...
You might want to google 1955 ddo penny
One jackass throwing an oil filter into the stream caused all this havoc. WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT!!!!!! Spark plugs?? Whatever, and I don't even understand why every stream in America is littered with spark plugs, but an OIL FILTER??? What a mess. Gasoline will get that off, but who wants to coat themselves with gasoline. Naphtha maybe, but I would not want to coast myself in that either.
That Chevrolet emblem at 12:47 is from the 1920s / 30s and would be soldered to the radiator shroud, nice find.
I'd love to have that thing.
@@Longbow-jt8jp we all would
Holy smokes, I've been on this planet for 64 years and spend a lot of time outdoors but I've never ever seen a squirrel swim before !!! 🤣
Chigg strikes oil!
🤣
Man, I've been waiting on this one. RACOON CHIIIG!
Dawn dish soap works well also.
Dawn is amazing stuff. Great recommendation.
Well Chig, sometimes there's a cost to recovering the spOILS of yesterday! lol!
Chigg, I'm sure you know the story about all the US silver reserve being used to make wire and tubing for the Manhattan Project. But the economy was pumping and we had to have coinage. So the silver mines operated at full capacity. Yes, WW2 silver is very special.
Good days can turn bad , and that oil situation was bad , but worse things could happen , When I first saw your face the other day I thought to myself Chigg fell face first into something , I'm glad that wasn't what happened, thanks for telling us what took place , either way I'm glad you were okay, Thanks Chigg.
I was so worried after seeing the short, thought maybe your engine had blown!!! Glad you're okay, but also YUCK!
Poor Chigg
You made it out with your shirt this time, so its a plus!
The things we do for fans 🤣
My wife and I absolutely love your videos. Sadly, we have binged them all and have to wait for your new videos drop to get our fix. Excellent work Sir! Thank you for your time
But that's the best though the anticipation of the next video
@skyblue_studios2991
Truth. The old days of waiting for the next episode of our favorite tv shows to drop
I think you’ll find that cup was commonly used in diners in the 50s and early 60s. And, try to stay safe. Love your videos.
That's the first time I've ever seen a squirrel swim! My sister took a picture of a turkey swimming!! Quite unique, too!!
You'll like this Beau. i was a mechanic . We ha a mobile drain trolley for draining oil. It has a basin on a tube with a one way valve in the bottom It has an inlet for the airline which normally has an adjustable pressure valve to drop the airline pressure down to 5 psi from a 120 psi and another drain hose to drain the oil into the waste oil tank. It uses the 5psi to drain the tank into the waste oil tank. What you do is open the valve on the drain hose and then open the other valve on the airline to pressurise and drain the tank. Some bastard took the pressure regulator off the drain tank to use elsewhere and didn't put it back So... Im talking to my boss and listening carefully to what he was saying and plugged the airline in with out the pressure regulator in line and wore the contents as it over came the one way valve in the bowl and i wore it all of the used engine oil at 120 psi. Not one of my best days . Nearly as bad as you encounter with the poison ivy while cutting your neighbours trees. LOL My day included a trip to the hospital to get my eyes flushed out. I didn't do that a second time. what a mess.
Glad you are ok. Thanks for the video!
I think your Chevrolet bowtie emblem is quite rare. Nice find...
I am so relieved to see that you are okay. First thought was that you had some kind of accident involving your face. It really looked like two black eyes. What a relief. Take care and God bless you.
My first thought was OH NO!! What happened this time!. Then I thought,, Wow, he looks like Batman's Joker!
Sorry for what you went through. Not fun but you did find some great stuff.. And you shared your bad and kept it real as you always do.
Due to a heart valve replacement, I have to take blood thinners. I was out treasure hunting the river and caught my cheek on a briar. I scratched me good, but I was bleeding like crazy. My shirt had blood all over it. I also had a shovel and backpack. Well, along comes the girls rowing team, going up the river. They seen me and I think they towed a lot faster. I bet they set a new record getting back. I looked pretty crazy when I got home. The scratch wasn’t even that bad, but it bled and bled
Probably though you killed someone and buried them nearby.
The BEAVER cam back to finish it, Chigg!!!
We're all just glad that you're ok! Reminded me of an old Tom and Jerry episode. Thought you'd found a bomb😂
OG my goodness Chigg. I pray no residual affects on you from the oil. You looked like you got into a fight. Prayers Chigg.❤
What a mess. Sad to see all the rivers edge dumps. You have to wonder what people were thinking back then to just dump everything in rivers abd streams. Guess they weren't. Loved watching the cat walk back and forth on the porch rail. This would of been a great video to insert linda blairs exorcist photo in while our eyes were glued on the creek bed looking for treasures. Have a good one.
"black gold, Texas tea!"😮
1955 cent look Chigg may be a double dye.. as lucky as you are:)
Dawn dish soap friend. Hope you are doing well. Good finds💪💪💪
The "Chevrolet" item appears to be a plate mounted on the sides of mid-1930's to pre-WWll Chevrolet trucks.
Thanks for the info!
Chigg: "let me just snorkel into a 1950s dump"
🎵First thing you know Old Beau's a Millionaire🎵
Yep, first thing I thought of too...lol.
@@aquachigger 🤣
Hello Chigg, I must apologize, when I saw you I had to laugh. Look forward to watching your future programs. Take care and stay safe 👍
No worries, I laughed too!
"The Original Old German Beer" something is a slider bottle opener from the 1930s. You'd push a button to slide out the bottle opener from the sheath like a box cutter. There's a couple examples online.
I shouldn't laugh, but that was funny. Enjoyed the video 👌🏻
OMG! You cleaned up nice.
Been waiting for this video since I saw your lovely mug in that condition on Instagram....
The Chigg struck oil!!! Glad you ok buddy
Chig…..I thought you were Ozzy Ozbourne for a moment….great imitation!
Chigg you look like you went 12 rounds with Mike Tyson lollllllllllllllll
Oh well... Oils well that ends well! Thanks Chigg. We will press on. LOL!!
"WD 40 It''s how the Chigg keeps a fresh face all day long" I think the beer thing was a church key.. Take care Buddy and glad you don't seem any worse for the wear.
Look at all the little fishies, Chigg is feeding by stirring up organic material. Happy lil fishies. lol
I’ve been waiting to see the full video on this. Glad you’re ok.
Hey river Tammy Faye!😂
The only thing missing was the tears.🤣😂
You da man!
Glad your OK.
Some days you’re the dog, some days your the hydrant. Today you looked like the dog who chased a parked car. I’m glad you’re ok ish. Great content as usual 😊
Hey Chigg,
If I’m not mistaken, the Chevy emblem is from the chrome radiator bezel! Teen’s to 20’s and or 30’s.
Glad you were able to get the oil cleaned up.
Stay safe Chigg, underwater oil deposits are a bacteria's favorite breading ground.
The pollution levels in this river are disconcerting.
Jeezum! Sometimes being careful isn't enough. 😉✌️
My brother lives near Falls Creek PA. And people for years after the company closed doors would go out there and dig there dump looking for stuff with flaws that was thrown out in there dump. We’ve drive by it dozens of times when I’d go over to visit. He’d always tell me about there China! He has whole sets he bought over the years.
Hey Chigg Dawn dish soap works great for removing grease from you and your clothes! But I suggest finding someone with garage shop rag washer for the first run cause you don’t want to use your washer at home! Leaves them a mess usually!! Great video!!
Chigg; it's always a surprise and adventure on your videos!!
I love watching your channel. I used to go metal detecting when I was a kid and loved it. These days not too many places to go where I live in NYC.
Thanks for the update. You found some good stuff. ❤LL
Aloha Chigg, Looks like petrified wood to the left of your hand 5:29ff, you banged the bolt on it! Old dump site. You clean up good! Mahalo!
Wow! That was a mess! Nothing like finding toxic river treasure! LOL
Hope you get better. Thank you for your time.
LOL I just couldnt stop laughing/Was a great hunt/
As previously said, use dawn dish soap to clean off oil. It is also good if pets get into oil. Keep a small bottle in the boat
They also use it to clean wildlife who get stuck in oil spills ... kinda like the wildlife in areas where there are oil filters tossed in the rivers. I can't believe the condition of the waterways back east. Here in Northern CA, that would be the rare exception, not the rule. So sad. But, I'm glad our Chigglet made it home in one piece! - Muddypaw 🐾
I thought you fell in a cesspool. But oil smear was not on my radar. Great pile of finds. Don't let a little oil deter you, remember the beaver didn't stop you from hunting.
Poor Chiggy! You look like The Bowman Body or Svengoolie!!!!!! 😹👀😮. Glad you're👌
Now that we know you're OK...you're finds are pretty good and you look good too 👋👍😁🐿
That cup reminds me of an old diner where when you ask for extra white gravy for your biscuits it come in that cup.
Dawn blue soap is my go to for grease and oil.
Chigg , your way too funny you remind me too much of myself if something horrible is going to happen , it would happen to me.
I'm sorry but I giggled. 😁 Heehee. Love the dog tag.
😮 oh dear! Looks like up you dug up part of an engine too there! Can see a spark plug I think! My hubby and I are really missing River Hunters here in the UK. Love that show! Missing Gary too 😊
You looked like Giuliani when his hair dye was running down his face at the press conference, except it was your eyebrows that were running.
At least it wasn't what i was thinking when i seen thw short video the other day. I was thinking you might have fallen into a septic tank or had a bad ordel digging into an old outhouse. Always entertaining Chigg!
Well Done Chig, happy you Survived!
❤❤❤We love you Chigg,God bless
Glad your ok!❤
Happy to know it was oil, Chigg, it looked like you went a couple of rounds with Rocky! Thank you, glad you're ok!!!
I thought your face was full of bruises from a jet boat accident at first
Well, the little fish didn't mind the oil. When you were home it was neat to see the cats walking back and forth in the window reflection. Until the next adventure, Chears now it's time for an adult beverage.
Hey Chigg,
I didn't see in the comments if this got answered here or on Facebook but ya the brass Old German Beer is an old bottle opener.
Found this:
Vintage 1930s Advertisement Bottle Opener The Original Old German Beer
These are called slider bottle openers made in the 1930s just after the Prohibition Era and has the advertisement for the “The Original Old German Beer” the German Brewing Co. Cumberland, MD.
Made from brass sheath with steel slide out opener.
I dug a bowtie identical to that accept in very good condition in a front yard in Carterville MO about three years ago . Very cool to see here !
Maybe it's time to spend a little more time at home amoungst your treasures?
I'm working on some conservative conservation work on an 1864 Union light cavalry sabre...maybe you could do something like this for awhile?
Curious as to your swords & sabres collection, would love to see them sometime!
Take care, Beau...
6:27 ohh that was satisfying.
If I had found that cup Chigg I'd be drinking coffee out of it the next morning😋
I'm so glad you didn't get skunked. It would give what you do new meaning. 😂
I'm glad you're okay as well.😉
Dang Chig, that thumbnail made me think the zombies got you😂
Waterbury buttons are still there! You are nice and shiny now!
Ain't no day like a Chigg day!
Oh my! Only you Chigg ❤
You mean "Oiley you Chigg! "😂 great video I'm sure you'll be ok.
Hello Chigg, ya really filtered your finds today!😊 Keep up the good work and vids... Be safe and take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 😇🙏👊
Jeez man we thought you took a tumble! Don't worry us like that Sir!
You poor man!! Break out the dawn Dish soap!!! 😂
Thanks Chigg
You reminded me of one of the critters from the Exxon Valdez disaster in 1989. I believe they used Dawn dish soap to clean up the oily otters 🦦 and birds 🦅.
I like the button Chig! Nice find. Your face looked like Alice Cooper concert fans. Yikes! Lol,Rk.
Great finds.
"thought i had a conglomerate of treasure" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 turns out it was an oil filter bwahahahaha
Chigg you will be happy to know that the Waterbury button company is still in operation and has a web site.they are in Cheshire CT.
Thanks Chigg'
That was slick !
Some nice finds Chigg
That oil filter wasn't a great one. But you clean up real good😅😅😅
Oh dang....
Hope it wasn't an artillery shell.. I'm chuckling at this comment, but it looks serious to get you out of your normal comfort zone presentation. Stay safe!
You looked like a sniper. Found some cool things glad the fish were still ok.
