Today finds us in the low county of South Carolina preparing to dig out a colonial-era trash pit that Billy discovered the day before. This is the first video in a series of videos I recently made while on a camping and metal detecting trip way down south.

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, www.facebook.com/chiggsarmy/ ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

  • Southern Capt. Billy is “a top pocket find.” I’m enjoying this collaboration.

    “Hey look there, broken glass” immediately starts digging with bare hand… lol 😂 I got a good chuckle out of that

    fyi from the colonial sites here in southern North Carolina, the first things the settlers would do is to try to locate clay beds. They needed them to make pottery and bricks if they were going to build anything substantial. Maybe you got onto a site that they harvested clay and used the holes for trash pits.

    Good vid, Beau and Southern Captain Billy. Thanks for calling us gals gentle Ladies, even though I'm acting like a cry baby because it ended too soon. ( : Looking forward.

  • I'm thinking it was built on a flood plane way back and thats why the sand deposits are there , looks like you are down 20 inches +......great video
  • @hardyakka6200
    that pit may have been used to get the clay for the homemade bricks.
