Metal Detecting And Exploring: French And Indian War River Site

Please join us as we metal detect and explore a cool, clear river in the mountains of West Virginia. We start at a modern bridge that was also the site of several other bridges dating back to the early 1800s. After not having much luck metal detecting there, we move to a nearby fording area and start finding lots of cool relics to include colonial-era buttons and even an American issue large cent. The most interesting find was a Spanish coin cufflink that I found that was worn by American colonials to show their disdain with Great Britain.

Nice little river , I think a land hunt just above the spot you found the buttons and coin would be a good place to detect. Thanks Chigg

The dial indicator on the paddle was so that you can adjust the pitch of the blade on the fly. Instead of changing hand position, you just keep it the same and increase or decrease your pitch to increase or decrease how much water the blade bites.

Thanks for this interesting video. I was born and grew up in SW Pa near Fort Necessity, later Fort Ligonier and what is now known as Fort Bouquet. My grandparents were very much interested in history and heritage, igniting my lifetime of research and collecting. I feel more grateful now more than ever in that history and heritage are two things very much discouraged by educators. Please continue with your valuable hobby and know that there are people quite interested!

Great videos chigg. What a beautiful day to be out in the creeks. Why can't these days last forever ? If only they would. We know what awaits us in the coming months. Good old mother nature will bless us with snow white ground covering. Then not long till it all starts all over again. You guys had a day of great finds too. That's a day maker when you get to find those war relics an buttons an coins etc.. What a wonderful feeling it is when you reach down in that water an bring up a true piece of history.The best thing out of it all is you guys had a great day out as friends doing what we love to do. An that is hunting for the rewards the creeks are saving for us until we get to that spot. Well guys get out in the water as many times as you can before it's to cold to do it. An find those gold an silver coins an as many bullets an cannon balls as you can before it all freezes over. Chigg an Todd, as always safe an happy/hunting an good luck in the coming days.😁👍👍

So was there a a battle spot right there at that spot? You sure found a few things to add to your tackle box. Since it was the French and Indian War I was hoping you might find some arrowheads or spear points, I know not with a metal detector of course, but that water was sure clear enough to see them if they were there. Thanks for sharing I do enjoy your videos God bless
