That one guy was really knowledgeable about the area , interesting segment, thanks Chigg ✌️

I watch your videos all the time and at a time like this i Wanted to say thanks a lot for putting these videos out a lot of people are stuck at home with this virus stuff going on and it gives them something to keep their minds off of it something to smile about for sure . wish you good digging

Looks like Uwharrie. I see a lot of that up in those mountains.

American History is all Threw our Woodlands, love it that the Chigg brings it in Home...

Our family has a mica mine in western NC! There is a lot of gold in NC! NC Emeralds are worth a lot of money!

Stomping in Tar Heel country. Welcome Chigg!

Lol Chig fall and go boom! I can’t even !😂

Metal detecting in the woods with friends and relics is a great Social Distancing activity!

You said that forest burned around 1900, its it's fascinating to look at what stage of growth the forest is in 120 years later. Alot of light travels to forest floor so there is a ton of trees fighting their way to the top. Very cool opportunity to observe up close with your video. incredible.

My home state on North Carolina! Would love to see you come back here more!

Awesome job. Stay safe everyone. Take care.

"That's awesome. Looks like a death trap. Is it?" I feel like either answer is just going to encourage you. Thanks for another fun, and very informative, video. Can't wait for more!

I would have been totally searching for the morel mushrooms. Seeing that one just gave me to get out and look for them here, but it's a bit early, as the weather had been still cold. Nice hike in the woods with friends Chigg. Looking forward to your upcoming video's. YAY!!! Thar be gold in them thar hills!

Thanks for sharing watch out for any hidden holes. Stay safe and look forward to seeing more videos.

Thanks Chigg for bringing me along. Very interesting location and knowledgeable dudes, seems to me a great time. Maybe this is the time you make bank with your finds. Best of luck to you and your buddies!👍

Very intriguing area for sure Chigg!!! I look forward to watching the videos from this adventure. I thought i had a country(backwoods) accent but this guy most definitely has me beat. F5

Looking like a fun adventure, Chigg!

Classic NC accent!! Love it!

Awesome place to check out,love the history of places like that.

That is awesome. Jus5 don’t fall. I would love to check this place out. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video ! Really enjoyed it.

That gold is there Beau!!!; ) Samquiches too!!!

Such a cool video! We have a lot of old mines like these in my area. I’m also in NC. Love to see the old workings. Thanks for sharing.

Great adventure....can't wait for the follow ups

I’d so love to be running around those woods! Hearing a guy with a NC accent makes me think of home. I’ve mostly traded mine for a Texan one but I get it back when I hear someone else with it.

Looking forward to it Chigg. Stay safe and watch your step. Lol

One of your best...thks

Aquachigger! Goes offroad!🤣 Hold your breath!!

Good way to social distance! As long as you both have been LOL. Happy for the videos!!! Being stuck home is getting to me! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 LOL but glad to be healthy. I’ll take this any day instead of being sick. Everyone stay safe and healthy

Thanks for the video Chigg...

Best part of my day you give me hope keep it up well done. Stay safe America love from Australia.

Chigg fall go boom! Lol

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota

i really enjoy, thanks

very cool history..

This is going to be a good series.

Thank you for keeping my mind off of current events.

Woohoo new adventure!!!

It was a great trip, Chigg😉

Finally you’re in my neck of the woods!

agree with you there, those Morel mushrooms look tempting

Bacon quartz very cool

Really looking forward to this series of videos, especially that pit/cave. I don't know what I'd rather you find: gold or relics lol

Good one ☝️ Beau!

Hey man thank you for the video I enjoyed it and get down in those caves that's what I really want to see

My guess, you were near the old Argo or Portis mines. Argo would be my first guess. There used to be a RR track that ran from there over to around Cooper Road. Tim has opened up the place around the corner from the Old Portis Mine that's also opened to prospecting. Both have gold.

So much to explore. Your adrenaline gland must have grown like the Grinch's heart on that tour!

Can’t wait to start picking morels here in pa nice video guy really knows the history there

Looks like some of the area around Verdun in France, but those are mines and dugouts for War.

Very interesting area, nice to have such a knowledgeable guide. I hope you get a chance to see some of those mining tunnels, that could be cool! Please don't 'fall down go boom' like that, don't wanna see you hurt. 😏 Take care, travel safe, stay healthy, GL&HH! 💕

Facinating as well as hidden danger.

No telling how much gold they missed where they didn’t have the best mining equipment

The N.C. pre civil war#1, mining area super cool

Greetings from the international space station!

My family owned a gold mine in NC in the late 1800's. It was south east of Greensboro near Groometown NC.

Don't reappear down that mine shaft Mr chiggs 😜👍

IT'S Chigg ya hooooo

Chigg fall down go boom? You quack me up!

More gold from NC than ever came out of California..only a century earlier!

Thankya brother, watch your topknot

Your in my backyard!! Some of them holes are 300+ deep! I've found lots of gold dust here not lucky enough for a nugget but all well I will keep trying!! Love the video!

You should go to Hidnitte NC there is an old diamond mine there. Very interesting place.

I don't blame you for walking.. the rack on the rear of a 4 wheeler is really hard on the back side to sit on. Been there, not fun. Great vid though Chigg as always, thank you:)

"They could at least take the bottles" Same could be said about the guys from a hundred 20 years ago that you're trying to find! 😜😜

Chigg fall go boom! 🤣

Hey Chig,that fella must have thought you have a strong accent. (:

Love those mushrooms!

Prime area to use Lidar , use a magnetometer find hot spots.

Cool!

I know why you are there before the leaves come out. The Timber rattlers are huge!

I'm gonna guess that this is in the Uwharrie Mountain region of North Carolina? The Uwharries are an ancient chain of volcanic mountains in central NC that covers approx. 50,000 acres of land in Montgomery, Randolph and Davidson Counties. The images in this video resemble the area as the peaks although steep in some areas barely exceed 1,000' in elevation. Geologist say that millions of years ago that the Uwharries were many thousands of feet high but erosion and other factors left them as mostly large hills today. They are distinctive though as you see them off in the distance. The Uwharries were home to some of the earliest gold deposits in the US. After gold was discovered in nearby Cabarrus County at the Reed property in 1799, people began looking the surrounding area, mainly the creeks for what is known as "placer mining". As the easy surface gold became harder to find large investors formed mining companies ti dig for gold which was found to be locked in with the white quartz veins that dot the area. The first lode deposit mined in the state was at the Barringer Mine in adjacent Stanly County, NC. Montgomery County where most of the Uwharrie National Forest lies had several famous mines such as the Russel, Coggins, Saunders to name a few. I once stumbled across an old unnamed prospect while hiking there and there was an old German ore bucket still sitting onto a pile of ore beside a vertical shaft. Other minerals are also found in the Uwharries such as beautiful quartz crystals usually clear or milky but on rare occasions, smoky to amethyst tinted, pyrite, anatase, pyrophyllite, hematite, minor silver and copper minerals to name a few. There are several very nice campgrounds that the state manages that charge fees to camp some primitive with nothing but a bare spot maybe a porta-potty, fire pit and table but a couple others with very nice bath houses complete with showers, etc. Anyone who loves the outdoors and rockhounding certainly should visit this area.

Chigg down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to North Cackalacki Chig!

👍 Well I'm ready get Dagon so we can find some good stuff today

You would love the mines where I'm from,only a few are big enough for a vehicle but plenty of other smaller ones to see

Just got the Garrett catalog, awesome pic on the front

NC here also, pretty sure I've prospected in that area years ago.

I live in NC, about 45 minutes east of Raleigh in Johnston County. I'm about 5 minutes from Bentonville Battlefield.

I call NC home!!!

You was down around my old stomping grounds.

Aloha Chigg! At .06 whilst you are riding on the atv, there is a VERY TALL, DARK SASQUATCH STANDING AMONGST THE TREES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF SCREEN...👣😊, 3 secs later, theres a very tall, dark spirit with his back to the road holding onto a tree looking up, see what happens when I have a new laptop+ time to watch videos?🤔

Interesting 🤔

3rd Herd

Nice video! I live in Waxhaw NC close to howie mine. Where is this video taken?

Where is that in nc? It looks like the area I grew up in more than it does the mountains.

I know where you was! I've been there as a teenager & crawled into some of those old mines. NOT RECOMMENDED: HIGHLY UNSAFE. Make sure you stop thru Kernersville for some awesome BBQ: Prissy Polly's is the best!

Wow, looking forward to this series 👍

Clay county NC here

Hmmmmmm sugar coated bacon. Oh yeah morels are mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm rolled in corn meal and fried kinda crispy in butter wow 😳 be safe Chigg and GOD BLESS

Galdarned snake traps those holes 😳

MAN DOWN !!!!

I would like to know what mining property this is: I have snooped through a lot of them over time there in NC. By the way, I own 400 acres of valuable gold mining property in the Concord NC area.

that turned into a mushroom hunting vid real quick... :D
