Can You Gig It? Searching For Coins In The River

The river was clear, a little high, and we were determined to get in, get wet, and find some treasures.
We heard the weirdest amberlamps and saw a blimp!

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 YouTube "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.

I hope to see you guys out there!

I hope you check out Mike's and my newest river adventure. We had a blast, and things were weird at times.

Suzanne: I watch all your videos. I got a Minelab about six months ago, then I found out I had breast cancer, got a lumpectomy, went through radiation, so swinging a metal detector is not in the immediate future. But I do get a kick watching your videos. You find some interesting things and I really enjoy watching. I live in NC in New Bern, there were several civil war battles here.

I have a couple ideas for the household finds, I believe the lid with stars is the top to a sugar muffineer. The milk glass top with the line may be from a jar with a wire closure used for canning jam or fruit.

For what it's worth, I appreciate the picture in a picture close ups.

between the siren and blimp, this videos taken a turn for the surreal!
3:16 kinda looks like a throat to some sort of ceremonial scabbard.
4:50 barn door or hayloft truck pully.
5:10 thats how a bunch of our less popular matchbox cars ended up after trying to recreate the spectacular car pileups from the tv show "CHIPS". i can still hear the themesong in my head!
5:42 yep GM product. the oval ones were for the doors/trunk/glovebox.
6:18 maybe a more decorative top to some kind of powder can like foot powder.
7:45 probably some kind of paste tube.
another great river adventure!

That was fun. I liked how you put a picture of the piece that you found, all
cleaned up, at the bottom, left side of the screen!

Thanks for bringing us along on this adventure Chigg!!

[calliecooke]

Frog gig is too cool !!! The milk glass lid is from a spring seal, like a Grotsch Beer top. The slot is for the wire that goes across and holds the lid tight.

You two make a great team. Cleaning up the waters and removing the lead is a good thing for the environment. Nice relic and coins finds.👍👏😀

Wow. 9th. Never been faster than high 20s before. But that doesn't matter. What does is another adventure with Beau and Mike. Thanks as I pause this to go get my beverage!

[grfinds]

Had a GR8 time as always. That siren was hilarious..

[StoriesFromTheSignal]

It’s funny you mentioned getting an eel with that gig you found. The last time I was there we were trying to film an eel hiding under some brush. If you back there be sure to keep you eyes open for arrowheads.

Definitely a trap tag and the pulley is actually part of a rolling barn door, it’s the piece that attaches to the door and the roller rides on the track attached to the barn above the door so it can be pushed/slid open either to the left or right. Some people pay good money for some of those old barn door hardware items in good shape for the ornate castings for the wheels

Any day out is an adventure, Thanks Chigg.

[garyhackenson]

Awesome Adventure Chigg, nice gig spear tip also!! 👍🏻😎

[artsimpson]

Aloha Chigg, Nice assortment of treasures. Mahalo for the relaxation and chemtrails! Hold your breath!

The copper alloy item at 6:44 is a tap connector for joining wires using a crimp tool or a Neanderthal with a hammer. You mostly see them on poles, but can be used almost anywhere. The ASCR stands for aluminum conductor steel reinforced which is the overhead wiring along the roads.

[jamesbarisitz]

I believe the milk glass is a jar lid. The flat screw driver slit is actually a receiver for a wire bale that attached to the neck of the jar. Like a swing top beer bottle with the rubber gasket.

[nathansmith]

Mike seems like a cool dude, I've seen him quite a few of your videos now. 15-20 years ago I spent a lot of money on a nice Whites metal detector, I let someone borrow it on a vacation to the beach, and we'll it was destroyed. I've been following you for a very long time now, I think you have motivated me to start saying for another nice metal detector, one that I will not let anyone borrow. Your enthusiasm is so infectious

[joanhawkins]

I think Mikes milk glass round thing is a lid and the cut across the top was for a wire swing type bale to hold the lid on.
