Searching A Pre-Civil War Home In Virginia For Relics And Coins

Рет қаралды 43,626

Жыл бұрын

Please join me and RelicManMatt as we search an old home that dates back to the 1700's. This home was once owned by Matt and he lived there and metal detected the yard over the course of seven years. At that time he was using a Garrett Ace 150 and found many colonial coins, Spanish Reales, Civil War buckles, bullets, and buttons. We had hoped that he probably missed a lot that we would be able to hear with newer machines. You can check out Matt's KZfaq channel here: / @relicmanmatt
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.

Indeed that fuse did bring back memories. The one of few arguments I remember my parents getting into was over a fuse like that. We burnt a fuse something like that and my dad put a penny in it just until morning. (Most store back then closed at 8pm) My mother had a fit! Said he was trying to burn down the house lol. I didn't see the problem with it, it worked. I guess I'm a old timer 🤷‍♀️🤣 I've gone from vintage to antique a long time ago😂
