This was an adventure to remember. While out scouting a new area I discovered a site that yielded five really cool Civil War artillery shells in afternoon. I will definitely return to this fantastic and relic rich site to metal detect and even SCUBA dive in the near future. Stayed tuned!

When is head leaf getting its own channel?

@martinfrylink4252 4 года назад

Head leaf is working out how to monetize his channel before launching. Stay tuned.

@swbottles 4 года назад

@@martinfrylink4252 I thought you were supposed to start a channel and get a following, then monitize it.

I came across the leafs channel the other day. It wasnt very interesting tho.

@judylutz1702 7 лет назад

I don't know how you do it, Beau. Your video's just keep getting better and better. I learn so much from you. Keep it up. You should have a tv show.

@monicaparnell 7 лет назад

I am so glad you finally went back under and got rid of that leaf...lol....I couldn't keep my eyes off of it.

@thekingsilverado9004 6 лет назад

That's a sail weight used to raise and lower sails on sail boats along with half a dozen other uses and in the 1990's at my store I sold em as RIVER ANCHORS. (At the end of your video you asked what's this?) A sail weight combination sailor item congradulations I sold em around here for 35 bucks a piece.. That one looks authentic though not the chinese crappers I sold in the store..

@tonyf8358 7 лет назад

WOW Thanks for posting this! AND Thanks for not posting spoilers in title. I love the anticipation of waiting for the find!

@willykanos1044 7 лет назад

The maul with the cutting edge is the head of a splitting maul. They are used to split firewood that is too tough for an axe.

@zettle2345 7 лет назад

The weight of it, makes it perfect for splitting big logs and stumps. The hammer head end is so you can drive it thru, if it gets stuck lol used one for years, did all my splitting in the winter, so I could work up some warmth. keep these great videos coming, Chig. and thanks for all your hard work in making them

@MrKmoconne 7 лет назад

I used a 12 pound version of one of those when I was a 14 year old kid. My neighbor, who was a "hoss" had a 22 pound "monster maul" that he used to destroy logs that would not split with the lighter (16lbs) version maul. Beau could probably put a new handle on that one he found and keep using it.

@colind5092 7 лет назад

Good afternoon Mr. Chigg! Can't wait to finish this video! Thanks for continuing to put out awesome content, you are truly living the dream!

@MrLeonardh1956 7 лет назад

looks like you had a good time thanks for showing us hope you have many more like it

@tonylatham5915 Год назад

I was scratching my head over your claim the Hotchkiss shell was unfired... those grooves sure looked like land impressions but after reading up on the projectile, you're right of course. Great video.

@secotioid 7 лет назад

Yeah i thought it was some insect attacking him at first.

@thekingsilverado9004 6 лет назад

Those shells do not appear to have been fired. I wonder how they got in the river there. I often heard stories from my friends about people using old civil war ordnance as Ballast for House Boats and small skiffs. During storms they often either tried to escape up those little inlets or storm blew em in little channels where boats sometimes sank and or got stuck after the storms sometimes left as quick as they came.... I would love to hear theories about how that stuff got there. Interesting the reason I watch your videos. Some of em are just dern fascinating..

@curiousone2940 2 года назад

Love your humble attitude and casual presentation style!

@jimmyroberts3 7 лет назад

Chigs still got it! 5 shells in one day. Ive only found 4 in my life. Lol. All on land, but still. Great to see ya doin what u do best. 5 in one day....arrrrrrr. epic!

@richardklapka5147 Год назад

Congrats Chig! I love your excitement on finding artillery shells! They are really cool! Another great older adventure! Rk.

@brandonnorton6647 6 лет назад

Chigg, that piston shaped item you thought was an artillery shell was a maste weight off of an old sail boat or pirate ship!!! HOLD YOUR BREATH!!!!

@normawinton6832 7 лет назад

Wow! Exciting finds! Thanks for showing the way it was fired, im learning something new everyday.

@scottlund4562 7 лет назад

@lynnreem8900 7 лет назад

@TravelBackroads 7 лет назад

@darlene1187 6 лет назад

In Canada, I don't think you are technically permitted to have WW1 or WW2 shells and artillery related artifacts, in your home. We called the military for help identifying ours. They sent a disposal team and explained the artifacts were legally the property of the Canadian Military. Hmm! I don't have enough knowledge about the artillery to feel comfortable touching any of it. You found some great stuff!!!

@jimjustice581 3 года назад

Great finds! You find Civil War relics. Half the time I can’t find my car keys. Maybe I need a metal detector.

@keithr.4735 7 лет назад

Great finds Beau! Really enjoy watching you find those shells.

@PirateSixActual 7 лет назад

Chig, have you ever found Civil War items (or ones of similar age) where you were able to figure out the exact story behind them? Like ID discs or personal items, and found out how they were lost or whatever?

@carolyngaulin7822 7 лет назад

Watching your videos Hold your breath. You got awesome content! From Massachusetts!

@worldchronicles4818 5 лет назад

That heavy Ax like thing with the blade is a log splitter, not meant to be swung. You put the blade in the center of the log then hit the blunt end with a hammer of some kind.

@brendaprice7686 7 лет назад

Your videos are fantastic no matter what you find. I'm a big fan if you can't tell and live in south central Virginia. I'm curious if relics have been found in my area. Anyway, be safe & happy hunting.

@adventureislife7793 7 лет назад

always love the water hunts :)

@jusdafax1 6 лет назад

The tool with the sledge on one end and the blade on the other looks very much like a long log splitter that my grandfather had. The blade started the split which then had a wedge inserted. Then he would move down the log and start another split on the same side, inserting another wedge, and so on. Then the sledge side of the tool was used to drive the wedges into the log. Done properly, you ended up with the raw materials for a split rail fence.

@UrbanDKaye 7 лет назад

Wow Chigg, spectacular finds! Nice variety too.

@njther2649 7 лет назад

I did not read all the comments so this may have been mentioned but the item you thought was a counter weight looks like a projectile from a Lyles Gun. I think they are narrower but that is the first thing that came to mind. If the river was bigger back in the day they may have used one to get a line across. Great hunt...thanks for the videos. NJ

@whitelsc 6 лет назад

I “watch” the full ad$ on your videos. Please keep them coming. Very cool!

@tommyvinson6 7 лет назад

Nice group of shells and musket barrel.

@tomseadon9965 4 года назад

This guy is world’s better than Marlin Perkins Was! Goin back a few years here, like the early to latter 60’s! The heavy object with the eyelet at the end of this video may be a “sounding weight”, used for checking water depth. They would attach lines with knots every 6’( 1 Fathom”) to check the water depth to keep from running aground.

@chrisgandy1260 7 лет назад

Hello Aquachigger i am replying to a question you had on the Quick Cleaning Iron Civil War Relics From A Recent Adventure video about the black powder in the shells its similar to a dead blow hammer they work off of the same principle if you look it up it will explain it

@brandonzack9872 7 лет назад

Yes but the gunpowder is so old that there isn't any risk of it going off

@jimmyroberts3 7 лет назад

Theyre live. But theyve been in the water for 150. And chances are, the reason they are there is because they were defective or were wet in the first place. Still somewhat dangerous i guess.

Seeing the poison ivy before you mentioned it, and I’m almost yelling at my phone “don’t touch it!” I’m insanely allergic. I’ll even get it if I just think about it too long. 😆

@theloudamerican2193 7 лет назад

The large piece of iron you dug containing two holes wss most likely a railroad track side bracing plate. These are used wherever two pieces of jointed rail meet. Just a guess.... thank you for another great video sir!
