Please join us as we start the day looking for a new metal detecting location and after wandering around the woods exploring, decide to go back to a nearby pre-Civil War homesite where I had earlier found a Yankee Sword Belt plat. On this trip I find a beautiful lined Block I Confederate Infantry button and many more interesting relics and artifacts.

Never know what you will find. I went out in the desert in a remote place and just started detecting around a rock about 10 feet high, just thinking maybe people in the past climbed on it. I was right, about 7 in. Down under a couple of little rocks i found a coin. Yeah you guessed it, it was a 1999 chucky cheese token. Really? Out in the middle of a desert with no one around. Go figure. Great video.

Mr Chigg Sir !! I am Rob Martin. I live in the mountains of NC . I need help figuring out my property. There are old mines...several home sites 1700-1800's as well as the property was a re-tooling spot during the archaic and woodland periods so tons of quartz chips and half made stuff everywhere. I am also 6th generation on my moms side here locally. Her family was into everything here...hardware stores, mica mining you name it. I would love to put you on at least 8 ancient sites around here plus some really other cool stuff. please correspond and we can get you over here!

Sorry you lost some of your footage Chigg, that's a tough one, but still, it was fun to see the things you did get, and always a pleasure to see you out diggin' with Todd. Horses while beautiful can sure be a right royal pain in the neck. I'm just glad they didn't step in the holes or knock you over by nosing your back when you weren't lookin'. Looks like you were having a really nice time in spite of everything. Just think, you didn't cut you fingers on glass, or get poked in the face, just got dirt in your eyes this time. ...ha ha ha... Always a good time watching your adventures! Have a great day guys it's been fun!

Those horses are beautiful. A horse trainer I knew told me how horses show ur emotion. And to get a horse to even go near you or to like you isn’t easy. They have to be comfortable with you. So if your nervous anxious angry they won’t want to be near you. That’s pretty amazing. She did work with autistic children with the horses. I thought that was awesome. Such curious animals. It’s a compliment that they like to be near you. Even if it is a bit of a pain LOL 😂 the brown one looks playful you better watch out lol he wants your mason jar lids. lol

Chigg, got my first Garrett Metal Detector just today because of watching your Vids so Garrett owes you a big thanks. I'm more into Native American artifacts but when looking for those slows down during the summer I'm sure I'm going to have a good time scratching around with my machine. Keep the videos coming man. I like them all. Oh yeah, you keep wondering why most of your viewers aren't subscribers. In my situation I'm not signed into KZfaq on my phone and that's where I watch most of everyone's videos.

Some of the selection cuts you see are highgrading - taking all of the very best wood which is bad and some are shelterwoods where some of the good trees are left as a high quality genetic seed source. The young seedlings grow under the shelter of the trees that are left. Tops and branches on the ground provide shaded microclimates for the young trees, environments for wildlife big and small and eventually slowly return nutrients into the ground. One of the biggest problems with clearcuts is erosion and siltation of nearby streams. Good video as always!

@mikeblair2594 4 жыл бұрын

As a custom maker of flintlocks, I would say that's a rifle ball which is much rarer. You don't use a cloth patch on muskets, just rifled barrels and a musket has a smooth bore and rifled muskets used minie balls as you walk know. Thanx for the video.

I live in maine where 85% of the old growth forests have been logged so we cut tons of wood, and honestly either method is great if the crew cutting, takes the time to clean up the tops and branches. A clear cut also will go from nothing to, trees, in 2 yrs or less. See it all the time here

Sorry chigg, but clearcuts ARE extremely beneficial to the environment. That was not selective cutting. It’s called “high grading” where they only take the biggest and most expensive species and leave the junk for the “future forest”.

Hey Chig, I was sitting here thinking to myself and you know what would be a cool experiment?? If you gathered 10 different kinds of soil then buried 1 copper 1 nickel and 1 silver in each pot to see how different soils effect coin toning and patina.. kind of a long process.. but it may be worth it in the long run. I thought long and hard about which channel I wanted to present this idea to.. and without a doubt, your excitement level, sense of humor, and mindful insight would offer the best experience.. what do you think?
