We Couldn't Believe What We Found Metal Detecting!

Matt and I took a kayaking trip to metal detect a Civil War battle site. The day started with us finding relics with our metal detectors and ended with us finding a fantastic little honeyhole of battlefield relics. We think a wagon was pushed into the river at that spot because we found many of the heavy iron parts and hardware from a Civil War-era wagon there and immediately downstream.
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 KZbin "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
I hope to see you guys out there!

That was certainly an awesome day out with those finds Chigg,..definitely a place worth returning to. I'd always be wondering,..who was it that carried those muskets,..did they get through the war and live to old age. Hidden treasures that'll always hold a secret. If only they could talk !!!

[@papaguche]

Congrats chig haven't seen you have a day that good for about five years

[@richnet12]

What a day!

[@BrianRandolph-jt5vp]

What a day!

[@Vault57]

So Chigg? How much cheaper in implementation do you think the Civil War would have been if the combined armies of the north and south hadn't dropped any bullets? Is there an estimate on the number of found dropped bullets? I suppose it could include (or not) the ones used for starting campfires and making game tokens and sinkers.

[@johnwillis12454]

I simply cannot tell you how happy I am for the both of you ! I'm bedfast now and live vicariously through you guy's, THANK YOU !

[@ThelifeandtimesofBarneyTaylor]

I hope you get better

[@julielumsden5184]

I can relate. I just finally was able to get out of hospital after nearly a month

[@ThelifeandtimesofBarneyTaylor]

@@julielumsden5184 I spent 25 day in the hospital it's crazy how fast you lose muscle . It's been almost 2 years and I haven't got it all the way back 🤬

[@BlueEyedColonizer]

That backpack is definitely a "shake and bake" meth making kit, pipe cutter to open batteries along with pliers. The old bottle is what they make it in, the campfuel is what they use in it. 100% meth making

[@TPPMetalDetecting]

Never take cough syrup and mix it up with iodine and lye Never take the strike pads off a matchbook Or go to a hardware store and then look Near the paint thinners for muriatric acid Or go bring a pot into a rapid boil Or get hydrogen peroxide Never go to a farming store and then buy ​pH strips and PVC pipes Those fuel cans that make outdoor grills light

[@scottwagner6838]

As soon as I saw it I thought the same. I’ve lived near the Ozarks long enough to know meth material (and I worked at a hardware store, so I saw what they purchased)

[@BornIn1500]

@@TPPMetalDetecting cause that's how you make CRYSTAL MEEEEEEEEETH! Love a WKUK reference

[@ThePWNDR]

Ironically pharma companies have made the entire sudafed/shake and bake methods incredibly dangerous and it’s not a viable way anymore.

[@itzcaseykc]

Incredible finds. Congrats to both of you guys.

Haven't seen a haul like that for ages. Great detecting Chigg😁 I'm not even American and I still get excited every time you dig a bullet!

Awesome possum!

[@rickyb2200]

Wow , Congratulations Chigg and Matt. Great finds and great video. Thanks Chigg

[@johnjamieson6368]

Use the funnel to put camp fuel in your stove or lamp. The bottle with the hose would have been hooked up to a water purifier pump or gravity bag system

[@BarberBobDetecting]

Incredible finds! So many channels exaggerate their thumbnail headline about “epic” “historic” “unbelievable” finds which prove to be just meh. Tremendous hunt.

[@JustPlainSteve5372]

🏅CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!!🏅

[@DavidIreland-um8pg]

Looks like you found a Ozarks Chemistry Set. It's a Meth Lab

[@GeorgeKennedy-p8b]

Bla bla bla

Rifle to me is the coolest wonder who he got with and how many people the history behind would be amazing 👏great finds chiggers 🎉💯💥💥💥

[@Scalihoo]

1826 eagle breast plates used on the baldric of 1840.NCO swords., nice finds

[@BlaineO]

Great finds! Gotta ask… Where did the song at the end come from?

[@earlt.7573]

Two Enfield rifled muskets, and an Enfield bayonet, 2 scabbard tips, 2 cartridge box sling eagle plates, and enough bullets to fill two cartridge boxes, and a canteen spout, you found almost two complete Infantry rigs right in that one spot, man that's amazing. That Schenkl round and time fuse was awesome !! There has to be more stuff there, what a day !!!

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

I was expecting a skeleton in a uniform! What a day! That cannon on a wagon is just around the corner, Chig.

[@aserta]

Probably wouldn't see that episode.

[@BobL84]

unfortunately for them I did just that 5 years ago only a few hundred yards up stream from this location .

[@mrben6573]

I love how Chig stays realistic and can experience joy from both huge finds and tiny finds. He spends an entire day and finds one nice button, he's happy. He spends an entire day digging and finds a musket, an artillery shell, and more, he's happy. As long as he's not skunked, he's happy. And even if he is skunked, he might still be happy cause it was a good adventure.

[@AnthonyKendrick-pn2bc]

Gurgle! Gurgle! Cough! Cough! Darn it, you forgot to tell us hold our breath. 😂😂😂

[@Langonica]

For anyone else these are lifers! Chigg, thanks for doing this when we can't!

Congratulations on the fantastic finds Beau!! You boys found a honey hole.

[@bulletbob5102]

Incredible finds! Congratulations!

[@artsimpson3670]

Aloha Chigg & Matt! 2024-1864=160. That's how many years ago a crushed man bled to death in that spot; leaving behind all valued possessions. The blast was felt, the river turned red, friends couldn't stop but yelled and fled. Now forever later and his name forgotten, his rifle and buttons and bayonet rotten, as he stands in heaven with his loved ones, says "whew what a day!" I'd almost forgotten.

[@pastuh]

exactly.. imagine real x-ray through earth..

[@jerryhorstick3109]

That's an awesome river hunt. I've been watching for years, and this video is why. It's just matter of time. Congratulations

[@chuckjenkins4348]

Chigg Master! When those rivers have been scanned over time after time over 160 years and many bullets found the man with the Golden ear for the sounds of certain irons! We’ve all heard him say it! Keeping the detector on all metal cause he’s looking for possible iron cause there will be muskets and shells and today was the day!! Most excellent ear Chigg!! That’s why you are the master!!!

[@scornell66]

OH GEEZ.....all i can say is "I'm happy for both of ya"!!!!! Congratulations....

[@grant6165]

Excellent hunt! Congrats on the awesome finds!

[@ladywisewolf3942]

Wow you can just let your imagination run wild with what might have happened. You can see a whole unit of soldiers desperately trying to cross the river while undergoing a barrage of shelling and gunfire. Suddenly a shell exploads near a heavily laden wagon, the horses spook and the entire wagon overturns in the river. And 160 years later, Chigg comes along. Congrats Chigg. 😄👍

That bag was a meth cook set. It's called the shake and bake method. Just look it up take to long to explain here.

Whenever I see those bullets I think how hideously painful it must have been to get shot by one.

[@normagrimstad8869]

It’s odd to think that a bunch of soldiers likely died right there.

He found a portable meth making kit 😂

"what do you think they were doing with that" meth probably lol
