Metal Detecting River With Homeless Camp and Railroad Bridge

Today we explore and metal detect a river that seems to be loaded with a lot of modern trash. We take a close look at an old railroad bridge and even get some video of a CSX coal train crossing it. Nearby exploring leads us to an abandoned homeless camp right next to the railroad. But things turn out okay, treasure-wise, and we find some good bottles and even some Civil War relics.
About Aquachigger:
I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes 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 by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my KZfaq "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

Aquachigger is on the river, makin a video to deliver on KZfaq. He’s fired up and metal detectin’ his camera is on so I’m bettin he’s got something cool. But when he tries to explain he hears the rumble of the train, every time he tries to talk he feels like he’s being stalked. He got the Troll Train Blues. Troll Train blows him out his shoes he knows it’s no use, he got the Troll Train Blues. There you go Chig thanks for sharing your adventures

The ceramic cone you found under the bridge was a pot we used to use to Butae weld the rails together to get rid of joints. back in the 70s I was a foreman on a welding gang in Iowa , We had bags of springs and old ball bearings with stuff like gun powder. We put a bag in the pot in a metal frame and put it over the two ends of the rail , we put a hard sand form on the rails and put a torch in the form and heated the rails cherry red, then lit the material in the pot . It would start boiling and turn into molten steel and melt a brass plug in the bottom of the pot and poor into the form. When it cooled we ground the top of the rail and no more joint. We laid quarter mile long rails and welded the ends for continual rail sometimes many mile long.

Every year we have a beach clean-up. Folks come out and gather tons of ropes, plastic, etc. then there is a big cookout to celebrate at the various cleaned beaches. Maybe some people who would like to have their favorite places on this river could get together to do the same. I take part every year in beach cleanup and it’s fun!

If people would suddenly, and out of nowhere receive lashings for all the trash they leave behind... there'd be less trash on the river. Shame it don't magically happen.

@restoreamerica1558 11 ай бұрын

There should at least be mind boggling fines when caught. Much harsher the current ones that haven’t kept up with inflation. If I were Governor I would raise the fines and strictly and enforce them. Then use the proceeds to clean up these places. Not to mention some mandatory community service time cleaning up the river to boot! This would make people think twice! Nobody now is afraid of a $500 fine. It should be 10x that!

I've seen previous videos where you have come across more homeless camps. There are too many reasons for their existence and you have always shown compassion and understanding. There may be a lot of trash left behind, but most of us will never be in their shoes, and will never understand their stories. Thanks for making sure it was "only trash'. We realize it could have been so much worse.

Reminds me of a story about a homeless camp under a bridge here in Florida. They had built a rectangle fire pit to cook over and just to have a fire. It had been there for years. One day a guy was metal detecting and discovered that the bricks their fire pit was really silver bars. Nobody knows where they came from except for it being Spanish silver. Speculation was it was from a ship wreck but nobody knows how they got to be under the bridge.
