We are back on the river metal detecting with RelicManMatt. We returned to the relic honey hole and couldn't believe how many relics were left from our first trip. I was able to get some good underwater footage of relics and fish. It was a relic trip for the ages.
As always this is a how to metal detecting outdoor adventure vlog that is family friendly and hopefully a fun video.
About Aquachigger:
I like to make videos that promote my lifestyle of 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. I keep my KZfaq "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
I hope to see you guys out there!

Hot dang! RelicManMatt and I got into some more fine relics. This was another trip to remember. I was surprised at how fast the patina (color) of the belt plate and cartridge box plate changed once they were out of the water and exposed to oxygen. I have included pictures of both patinas. Do you prefer the before or after color? Follow the Chigg! My Patreon: www.patreon.com/aquachigger Instagram: instagram.com/aquachigger/ Facebook: facebook.com/chiggsarmy/

@aquachigger I prefer the "after" patina.

Hopefully you will give the box plate to the young man as they belong together with the bullets...Best nugget.

Exactly! And the best part about this hobby is you can make up a story if you wanted to 😂 because no one truly will know how those items got there. The gold tooth they found on the other hand 😬 Especially when they found some grape shot next to the tooth

Hi Chiggsley! Just wanted to take a moment to thank you. From the bottom of my heart, I want you to know your content has been bringing me happiness for years now. I really want to get into metal detecting because of you, but haven't pulled the trigger on buying a machine yet. I did however rescue an old Garrett detector from the 70s or 80s I think from my parents! It worked for about 6 minutes, and poorly I might add, before it went kapoot. Anyway, thanks for all the smiles and good humor. You truly are a joy to watch in all your adventures I wish I could share. Keep on truckin, I'm on a less adventurous quest now to taste a Paw Paw fruit.

Would it be possible to come in there with a chainsaw or winch to move those fallen trees out of the way? Or just too massive? Watch out for that beaver. He may be kin to that rabid one you had to put out of his misery. Thanks for that awesome video. 🎉

Been relic hunting here in Virginia for 40+ years. A two-plate day is a rarity these days! Got to savor those moments! Guessing you were relic hunting Saturday as it hit near well 100° here in the Virginia Piedmont! Great hunt! Maybe it's time to switch to water hunting!
