A River Metal Detecting And Camping Adventure : Pt. 2

Ойын-сауық

Camping and metal detecting on the river is tonight's adventure. This is part 2 of 3 of this metal detecting on the river journey that I went on recently where I was searching for relics like coins, bottles, gold bars, and other treasures. But mostly, I was searching for some time alone and a peaceful, joyful memory.

    The 'fence' is more than likely a pioneer path. Especially on muddy sand, they lay down sticks first, then line it over with path stones for walking. That was probably a homestead, worksite or maybe that civil war camp.

    Hey! Just wanted to drop a note, unsure if it will be read or not. I'm a writer, and have been working at home during this COVID debacle. I've been running your videos in the corner of my laptop while I work. Never metal detected before. Actually, I'm not even sure how I stumbled upon your page. But, you should know that your adventures have provided me with a much-needed outlet over the past few months. I've enjoyed watching you amble through the rivers, streams, timber and fields in search of history and "relics." I appreciate you taking the time to educate as well - be it civil war history or simply a lesson on nature and wildlife. I am now fascinated by metal detecting, am looking at punching a ":starter" machine...though there isn't much in the line of civil war relics here in Michigan. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing and remember, you're taking all of us along with you on your adventures. And the catharsis they provide is something we all need it right now. Peace.

    I am thinking that it was an old loading zone for boats...like a pier. During the civil war it might have been a stretch of the river that was accessible and easy to load supplies from wagons to rafts or boats. Glad you’re wearing gloves! 🙌🏻 That’s way better! 😁👍🏻 Sorry to hear about the holes in your boat. 🛶 That sucks. At least you were prepared to help fix them. It was like a McGyver/Survivorman moment there at the campsite. 🧰 Looked like a nice campfire you were having Beau. Nice and relaxing. ☺️🔥🏕

There were still a few logs you were able to see before the bridge. This was about 8-10 miles se of Decatur, MS. He was almost killed while sleeping in Decatur as “Feds” rode by the place he was sleeping. Great find!!!!

    Hi Chigg! Glad you made it through the night! I'm a suburban girl and that much nature would have kept me awake even without the racoons fighting, which we have in my back yard, too. In a pathetic attempt to share some of the excitement of mudlarkers, metal detectors, and adventurists like you, I've started magnet fishing in the community parks around my house. I pulled a bike out of a lake on my first time out! I recently magnet fished under an old railroad bridge and pulled up several rusty spikes. That was exciting. I also pulled out a 1/2 inch round shot. The bridge is in a subdivision now, so I'm thinking the shot dates back at least 30 years. Any idea how I might be able to figure out how old it is?

    The horizontal logs could be an old corderoy road. Logs are layed side by side across a roadway where it is muddy or boggy. It makes for rough driving but it makes for a crossing where it otherwise would be impossible.

    Mr. Chigg... One ''survival item'' that I always carry when out camping, etc., is a piece of hot glue stick (about 6'') and a disposable lighter or three. Always comes in handy in situations such as a cracked snorkel tube, in your rain jacket, or even a hole in your boat. Might help to keep a small, water tight bag with a few ''just in case'' items. Kind of like insurance...Doesn't hurt to have it but hope you don't need it. Always enjoy your adventures. Thanks.

    Another great video on the water chigg man. I hate that you got a hole in the boat. Those darn rocks can be brutal on a kayak. A little chigg-giver an shes as good as new. Lol. Now the wood in the bank; you think that it may have been a ferry landing/crossing at some point. You know where they would let the ferry gate down to let the wagons an or the horses exit off the ferry. We still have a operating ferry here in my town in Richmond,ky. It takes you across the Kentucky river at the point of valley view here in Madison, county. Then you depart into jessamine, county/nicholasville,ky. ? Looked like it was another awesome day on the river. Even though, we didn't find lots of treasures. The bullets were a great find and we'll take them any day.Belt buckles, gold coins, and we can't forget those civil war muskets or the artillery shells. Those would have been an awesome find for the day an you would have been a happy happy little chigg man. Although unfortunately more so then most people know, there's alot of times we go out detecting an all we dig or find is not so good treasures. So that being said, we have to have those days to make up for all the great days we have when we do hit the mother load of relics. Great video chigg. Thanks for taking us along on the river exploration. What a way to spend independents day hunting civil war treasures. As always safe an happy hunting.👍😁😁
