The stirrup!! So exciting! My mind goes everywhere with it, imagining how it came to be there! The straw I. Your camera, priceless ❣️

My dog Daisy went nuts just now when you said on the video "look at that" with the deer bones. She knows your voice and I guess she remembers the good times she had with you. LOL

I hope you kept the sickle bar part and tooth, they might not be so old but they are fast becoming a piece of history. We had those on both a plain bar for grass cutting on an old tractor, and on our swather for doing the alfalfa fields. Of course our old wheat combine had the very same teeth. Dad and I knocked out the rivets on many a broken tooth to replace them on those bars and boy was it hot hard work. We had stacks of replacement teeth in the shop and a pile of old broken ones in a fifty gallon drum, which we threw all of our old scrap into, then hauled it off when it was full to the scrap yard for pin money. This hunt really brought back childhood memories. Even the cow pasture full of patties...so watch where you walk! LOL You didn't get skunked, even if you had to work so hard for it. That Civil War era stirrup was a good history lesson, even if it wasn't in one piece. I can imagine the rider being broadsided by an exploding shell which took his foot and broke his stirrup to pieces. The horse of course probably didn't survive, but maybe the man who lost his foot and stirrup did?! Of course it could have just been a case where the leather to the stirrup broke and a heavy wagon ran over it a few times. Time and farm equipment could have displaced the pieces. At any rate it makes for interesting speculation and possible story line. If you had found more tack I might have thought the whole horse and rider were lost. Too bad about your camera, if you take it to a good camera repair shop they should be able to clean it up for you. The only thing worse than dirt in a camera is salt, sand, or water. Four years in Hawaii taught me how bad that place can be on camera's, so I really can sympathize. Have a great day Chigg and better hunting next time.

Barn door roller! I specifically remember from the time my brother shut the barn door on my foot and my dad had to take it off so I could get my foot out...

Barn door roller. Rides in a track mounted on the side of the barn

It just makes me smile to see you hunt down the parts of a sturrip. You’re so cool!

Barn door rollers. Go at top of barn doors to help you roll it open. Thanks again for the videos. Love them

So exciting.. Loved our hunt...

I noticed the image quality was greatly improved in this video..... I see why now with the 2 second reveal. Great improvement. Just remember if you just find junk.. we will still watch. Detecting is detecting and just part of the game.

Thank you for the Chigg's Army stickers.

Fascinating detector /detective work watching you piece together the stirrup. And thanks for the Chigg's Army stickers, Chigg!

Hey there Beau. 😊 Fantastic video and I was so glad you showed us that piece of straw holding your shutter even though it's unfortunate. Love that stirrup as well. ❤

I’m just lovin you and your videos. I dunno what I’m gonna do when I’m finish watching ALL of your past videos.

I love detecting..even if I DNT find treasure I find adventure and history...it's awesome 👍

At 7:11 that is a roller assembly for hanging a sliding barn door.

Thank you for the stickers!

Nice stirrup, its cool finding those pieces like that. Once I found half a box plate, two years later I went back and found the other half about 50 feet from the first!

1:05 I believe it is just a splitting maul

Kudos for knowing the rest of the stirrup was around. I thought the bottom broke off leaving the rest hanging. 👍🏻

Nice to see you are easily amused Beau.

Hey, finding the missing pieces of the stirrup was quite interesting. Good one beau.

Hi, nice stirup! And yes you said that,HH!

Thank you Chigg.

A nice surprise ! I think I haven’t seen this video before. 😁

Yeah, the roller fits in the track mounted on a barn for sliding barn doors. The hole in the center is threaded for a rod to help adjust the door height to the track. I bought a new set about 10 years ago for our front barn sliding doors.

Really enjoyed seeing you collected the stirrup pieces. Enjoyed your investigation techniques to locate as much of the stirrup as you did. All discoveries were interesting and you descriptions excellent. Thank you very much for sharing your treasure hunting knowledge.

Another fun video! Got my Chiggs stickers this past week, super cool, thank you!!!

The curly hook thing at 3:43 is part of an old harrow that was drug through the field to break up clods of dirt. A chain attached to the harrow was attached to that hook which was part of a pipe or beam. 2 of those hooks to every section for the harrow.

Aquachigger Thanks I just got my CHIGG'S ARMY stickers yesterday

Great stirrup find ! You da man thanks for sharing your great knowledge with us

Blacksmiths hammer for notching metal or cutting metal when they pull it out of the forge.

Great hunt. Not all can be cannon balls and gold coins lol. Loved the stirrup and the work you put into finding most the pieces. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

Beau, the pulley is for a sliding door. A track would have been on the barn side.

Thanks really enjoyed.

thumbs up my friend, I watch you all the time. keep up the good work!

That hammer that you showed is a special hammer for barrel rings. You put that tiny part on the edge of the ring and then hit the flat part with another hammer. By hitting it, you go around the barrel for equal tightness on wood and to prevent leakage.

The thing you showed at 3:31 looks to be half of what was used on horses and cows to control them. It would have had leather to hold it as a unit and fit the animals head. The little ball at the end, (there would be two naturally) fit into the nostrils of the animal and when a rope attached was pulled to lead it would pinch together and prompt the horse or cow to follow you. The roller thing is what barn doors rolled on, on a track.

Another great video, thank you for sharing with us. Happy Hunting Everyone. 👊🏻😊👍🏻

The specialized hammer at the beginning is a maul. It splits wood

Man that was so relaxing. Cheers beau.

Thank you for the stickers, I received them 2 or 3 days ago :-) ...as always another awesome video.

I dont have the time to put into metal detecting like you do, but i enjoy every moment i do it. Havent found anything of value but i have found a few old stuff worthless but cool. Love your vids.

Awesome place Chigg.

Way to stick it to the camera! 🙋🏻‍♂️

I received your stickers thank you very much I gave some to my son he was very excited

The wheel looking thing is a barn door hanger, they wheels went into a pipe or a metal track there were generally stops at the ends of the track to keep the door from jumping the track

All of your videos are a good watch

good hunt Beau, you almost got it all, well done atb

That stirrup, very smart digging. Ted from Connecticut

It’s that cow Patty laying there lollllll

Agree on barn door roller and cool job tracking the other parts of the stirrup, thanks for the video.

22.51... Definitely a ringer

the hammer head is probably a millwrights stone dressing hammer, they are usually narrow faced with a sharp edge on the reverse for sharpening up the grooves in millstones.

Hey Chigger glad to see more videos buddy.

Pretty cool finds you almost got the whole stirrup see you at the next hunt Happy Hunting good luck. Don

Oh boy..... a new Chigg video. So glad I cut the cable and get to see such great stuff. Love your channel. BTW..... the little wheel thing I think is actually the wheels to a sliding barn door that work on the same principal you described. I have also seen them on old sliding stall doors. That would have been fairly high end for back in the day though. Hay trolleys are usually much heavier and larger. Note I said "I think"... you may be correct.

i would say it a barn door roller ,allowing a barn door to roll open and close. THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS

Great hunt aquachigger. You don't guess that a cannonball might hit that Stirrup and broke it do you. And they were who was riding his leg to imagine. Keep digging in your your videos you have a good year. Bill Johnson North Carolina

Great "my cousin vinny" reference

Imagining a fallen soldier dragged by the stirrup until it broke.

This man makes me smile people..hard task for me these days lol

I love history! Thank you for sharing your adventures.

I love the outtro song 😉

Great detective work, NICE video. Moorrrr.

Finally 1 Million! Congrats man! I’ve been watching since 2012, and I’ve watched nearly every video. So many memories of this man. Definitely a mentor of my childhood. I can’t wait for MOAR videos!!!!

Chigg is the man

So glad you're using the tripod.

Stirrup is cool.

good job. good hunt.

Keep on digging chigg 😉😉😉

As always, informative and interesting. Fine!

Loved the video again. You are a very nice man.

I see a lot of people saying that that hammer is a splitting maul. But that didnt seem right to me. Not only is it too small, but the narrow striking edge is far too blunt to be of much use for splitting wood. Its actually a simple, and quite old, straight-peen hammer. Also known as a fuller hammer. A blacksmiths tool.

3:20 part of a trace chain.....we had them on the harness of our mules

Good video you were close on that roller that's the roller for the sliding doors on the barn that go into a track and a bolt would go through the middle of it and you could open and close the barn doors the big sliding months and that Stirrup that was good too.

Wow, the stirrup find was great! Love old equestrian stuff.

The third thing maybe can be part of the brakes? Cool video. I like to watch.

AWESOME VIDEO CHIGG!

Cool finds

Got my Chigg’s Army stickers today. Thank you!!!

Interesting hunt. stirrup was cool. Nice to see you getting out there again and digging.

absolutly love your videos beau they teach me so much thank you;];];]

that was fun

Another awesome video.

Best way to chill out after a hard is watching these videos

The hay teeth are about th e strongest metal made in the old days ! I have put them on backhoe bucket for cutting through sand stone materiel , they are still mounted there and have served for years ! your wheels where used on sliding doors , hay hooks , blacksmiths used them on tail to load heavy items to kil and also to load in wagons on swingarms ! Looks like Fun dig !

Sliding barn door rollers

The iron piece that resembles a Rams horn is a rein guide or stanchion

Great video buddy, look forward to seeing more 👍

7:20 Those are the wheels for the track of a hanging barn door.

Great one again Beau! Lone Oak, Texas

Nice boots!

If that stirrup could talk!

thx

great vid chigg, enjoyed it,

I would rather watch this type of video and the ones in the river than any of the rest. Keep it up.

I enjoyed this hunt Chigg. Wish you could have reunited the entire stirrup but 80% of it (and the good 80%) is still awesome. Happy Hunting!

Yes!

ive got castors like thos on my barn door!
