Searching A Pre-Civil War Home In Virginia For Relics And Coins
Searching A Pre-Civil War Home In Virginia For Relics And Coins
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 Youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWpvEqBZXVo6Si_Oonv4kYQ
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 Youtube “Aquachigger” channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
BTW, you can also catch me here, https://www.facebook.com/chiggsarmy/ ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn’t a place for kids anyway…lol.

Yes. 1
We were using those fuses in the 80s – house from the 30s. I hope the new owners have upgraded the box since then.
Wheel weights?
I love the outro song.. Sometimes I stop by just to give it a listen ..
~M~
Maybe the penny was behind the fuse in a fuse block! 😁😁
I got to melal detected my back year and found little metal army men. I found out that they were my Uncles toys when he was a kid. Back story I live in the home my Grandfather built. I hope you have a blessed day.
is that the chigger chirping along with a band?!? oh wow…….. 😉
Waiting on the good stuff
16:34 My Grandfather would put copper pennies under some of those in the fuse box. Not sure why.
Chiggs due for a really great relic ❤
Your diggen holes for gold and silver. I’m digging holes to plant trees. Been here from the start, love ya bro.
I enjoyed this video ❤
The 3 section thing you found mentioning ingots, looks like more modern wheel weights to me. Especially with the weight stamp on it.
You’re first item is a fleshing knife or a joint knife for motor. Can’t tell if it’s been sharpened.
Bo, were not all that different, bout the same age, couple of old infantry guys! Thanks for another Awesome Video !
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😂
Big foot small feet 😂😂😂
what’s with the gloves? 😉
We are finding so much trash on our farm, wish it was easier to find goodies
My grandmother has a farm between Stephens City and Winchester, Virginia. They used to find stuff every year when they plowed in the Spring. She used to have a wooden crate that she kept everything they would find. There must’ve been 30+ belt buckles with "CS" stamped in the center.

Hi chigg that lead you found with the numbers on them is a weight to balance your alloy wheels with
That root was pretty cool
As always thank you for taking us along 👍
Actually… it is a fusestat. It’s a little different than a fuse.
You know that you can put a penny behind that 30amp fuse and make the system work. Not safe but it works.
the "lead solder ingot" is a stick on wheel weight for balancing wheels, goes on the inside barrel of the wheel. each segment is a pre determined amount so you can break off what you need.
A poor neighborhood now never got richer a 150 years earlier is my take.
awesome!
7:09 very large fusible link?
A little metal detecting somewhere in Virginia. I hope you enjoy the video!
Wheel weights off a inside of a truck rim ?
I hear the road traffic in the background, modern times, and here is Chigg enveloped in history. Chigg the bridge.
Good to see some normal Chigg video. (Got so involved in cave videos that I quit watching & subsequently my interest has waned.).
The extended stay on his smile after saying it’s too good to be true got me.
Some great finds. Keep up sharing this great hobby
Got a question Chig. What is the biggest coil I can use on an Ace 400,
Fun dig & explore ! Love seeing the old building ruins. You guys made some nice finds too. Take care & best regards !
Super cool!
And we are searching the interweb for a relic and coin hunting video by Mr. Aquachigger.
Cheers Chigg 👍🏻💚💨
Not bad day chigger after all the fines are not bad today 👍🐈
So the Yankees wouldn’t find them 😂 that’s funny. Thx for the video!!!
That first thing you found looked a lot like an older Pointing tool for Brickwork.
Bo when are you going to go in that cave/sink hole that’s by the side of that road and leads under that house. You were stopped by rocks and you said you were going to go back sometime with a hammer and chisel and make hole so you can continue your exploration.
What I wonder is how much of this stuff goes for scrap.
I believe the lead object that said 26 grams was a wheel weight.
I think the first item you found could be the tool masons used for pointing mortar in brick. Nice finds, Bo. Thanks for sharing !
You ever think of using a waterpik for cleaning some of these things? I shiver every time you rub them on your pants..
Go Chigger!
