Underwater Treasure : A Mysterious Discovery

Ойын-сауық

In this video, I snorkel in the river and search an old submerged dump. I find some really interesting silver objects and many other artifacts. But the coolest thing I found was a large blob of cemented jewelry and other mysterious items.
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 KZread "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
I hope to see you guys out there!

    In the second half of this video, I examine the finds from this underwater hunt. I really like the blob of artifacts I show at the end and would like to know what you guys think I should do with it. Should I X-ray it? Break it apart? Keep it as-is? Let me know what you think.

    your spoon and forks from left to right. the first spoon is an oyster spoon, these were used to remove the oyster without the liquid so that they could be fried. the second is a cutting fork that was used to cut pieces of meat from a large roast. the last fork is a serving fork to put the meat on people's plates. These used to be expensive sets, often sold in a case with a knife and a bone clamp. Many of these sets were made in England, France and the Netherlands, see if you can find a makers mark. these sets were in use from the late sixteen hundred to the early nineteen hundred

    Hi Chig, JMK FROM THE UK here, the long silver fork with the tines close together is almost certainly a pickle fork, Victorian to Edwardian, I have a couple myself 😂 don't know why they were so popular, and I never realised that people ate so many pickles, hope this helps 👌

    Some pretty cool finds Chigg. That strange long spoon I would say is an olive spoon and the larger pronged fork is a meat fork. It stunned me when I saw it because when I was young I took one of my mothers sterling silver forks, flattened it out and spread the prongs, sharpened them and filed barbs on the ends. I had the fanciest frog gig ever. Yea, I got a few whacks with a belt when she found it strapped to the end of a pole. I had no clue about silver and such. I just needed a frog gig. Years later she sent it back to Rogers in the UK and had it restored and till the day she died she regretted not keeping it as it was because of the memory of our childhood. I will take it off your hands.....I need a gig. 😂

    Ohhhh, a really interesting video and some crackin’ good finds. The mysterious blob, if it was mine would be X-rayed and then broken apart. It could be part of a metal lamp with crystal danglies adorning it. But I wouldn’t be able to sleep until I’d deconstructed it. Really nice to see you back in the water sir. Take care and maybe more dump digging in the future?🤞🏼💐

    The video quality was fine. It is a Chinese Duck on the plate. It is a Salad Fork and the Spoon with hole that lets the dressing through. The big blob with the white enamel button and mechanism looks like a Servant's Call Bell. You pull the lever down or pull it out and it rings a bell downstairs or in the kitchen / butler pantry. Popular in the UK in 1800s, Dining rooms in large houses.
