@TempoDrift1480 6 лет назад

Dude, fantastic video. At 35, I've been rather interested in civil war era history and equipment but this is beyond anything I've seen before. I can only imagine the joy of finding stuff like that. Thanks for spending the time to post this, I will most definitely be subscribing.

Wow Chigg! Retired armored cavalry officer and I had little understanding of the Civil War artillery. Thanks for the education.

@mike03a3 4 года назад

A great video explaining the fuses!! One minor nit, Jeff Davis was not Secretary of War (not defense) immediately prior to the war, he was a US Senator for Mississippi and giving speeches against Secession. He became Secretary of war in 1853 under Pierce and did a lot to improve the US Army, increasing its size and replacing the M1842 smooth bore muskets with Rifle-Muskets based on his experiences with rifles in the Mexican war. He returned to the Senate in 1857.

@stevexray6253 8 лет назад

That was very educational. You had my attention so much that I looked and listened instead of looking at all of the relics on the wall. 👍😆

@daveschuetrum576 8 лет назад

Well...That was really exciting for me!

@joewood9307 8 лет назад

@GeorgiaRidgerunner 8 лет назад

wow i never knew those fuses were that complex back then .....thanks for the lesson chiggg

@Rottingboards 8 месяцев назад

As a US Air Force Weapons Specialist. That was a fascinating video. I thought they were just round balls shot through the air. They were so much more deadly. Thanks for your time and knowledge.

@Tennesseeman20 8 лет назад

I watch for the entertainment and i like your character. but also i have learned much more about the civil war from your videos than i was ever taught in school , and i just want to say . Thank you . Sincerely . Thank you .

@garygerkin9988 8 лет назад

thanks for teaching me something new today and that appears to be a nice collection behind you keep the great videos coming and God bless

@user-jb3gi4pk2q 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much..! Visited Gettysburg today, had a good knowledge of the cannon balls and canisters working. Needed some in depth explanation of the fuses...and you came through with style...

@gregorym9591 8 лет назад

You said not exciting? You went over the top with information. Your the best! Very very cool indeed. I would love to hear more.

@jjtman49 8 лет назад

it's always a good day when you learn something new !!!....Thanks!!!!

@adventuresunknown1013 8 лет назад

Thanks Beau! I really hated history when I was young and in school. But now I find it more interesting I guess a little more hands on or more videos showing things like you do is more exciting than a text book. At least to me.

@bnemmie 8 лет назад

Interesting video. I'm not even a civil war buff and I still watched until the end. Thanks!

@Hylanda11800 8 лет назад

@StarlightEater 4 года назад

I like his level of shot outness. With the cannonballs n all.

@hooper4581 8 лет назад

Outstanding! Thanks beau.

@glenpierce777 8 лет назад

Fantastic Beau, a great lesson. You should go into schools and teach the 'Young uns' about the Civil War, I sure they would enjoy it. Your style is very easy to follow and your enthusiasm is evident, great stuff mate. Keep up the good work, peace out from the UK.

@WayneTheSeine 5 лет назад

What fantastic finds on those fuses you found in the water. They look brand new. Very interesting video.

@11bravo47 8 лет назад

@michaelkullas2031 3 года назад

Thank you. Keep doing more of these. Different bullets would be perfect. Thank you

@depleteduraniumcowboy3516 5 лет назад

Was searching for information on engagements a relative participated in and when you came up in the search, knew I had to check out what the chig had to say. Learned about the various fuses he may have handled. Thanks for sharing!

@DonaldKing23 8 лет назад

Very cool, what an impressive collection You have as well as a wealth of knowledge .

@tomservo5347 4 года назад

Even with the advance in technology the fuses were problematic at best. Both sides were instructed to never, ever fire case shot over the heads of their own infantry unless it was a true emergency. The percussion ones would typically burrow into the ground and not go off. Even the Borman fuses remained a wild guess so artillery preferred the old reliable stand-by of solid shot and canister. I started detecting not long ago on a purely amateur level. I envy you guys out East because you have so much history in the ground. Here in Missouri the pickings aren't as great unless you luck out and find a spot not recorded in history anywhere.

@cliffcox7643 4 года назад

Excellent. Imagine some people wanting to suppress the US past, forgetting the classic saying, that those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.

Wow!!! I had no idea about any of this history! Thanks so much for the video Chigg! My hubby was even into it! :-) very cool and informative! Great job!

@edwardcnnell2853 5 лет назад

Year ago I saw a documentary on the battle of Gettysburg. It told of how the Confederate artillery barrage was intense but largely ineffective. They gave as example Pickett's charge. An artillery barrage was supposed to suppress the Union artillery crews on Cemetery Ridge. The Confederates used paper fuses that were trimmed to set their timing. The problem they had was the fuses were made by three different factories. There was poor enforcement of standards and the fuses from these factories burned at different rates. The templates to trim the fuses were all the same. Instead of bursting in the air sending shrapnel into the heads of the Union troops one third of the shells burst harmlessly in the air short of the target while another third burrowed into the ground with most of the shrapnel absorbed by the earth.

@digginny2823 8 лет назад

All I can say is great video very informative kept my interest from start to finish. im definitely going to add it to my favorites and with your permission put a link to it on my facebook page. nice job!

@tonykirkpatrick8239 8 лет назад

Very informative and enjoyable! I would be interested in seeing more videos like this about other relics you find, like other weapons, transportation, food, etc. If you find it interesting I am sure that many others will too. Just keep 'em coming and I will be glued to the computer. Thanks
