I Found A Gun In The River While Kayaking

[@TC-bz9dz]

chigg: look i found a civil war musket😊 richard: look i found a can🤔

[@BrandanLee]

@RichInTheUSA We all know the real treasure is Chigg.

[@bubsrustyrestorations9593]

When you pulled that musket out the water my exact words were no frikin way 😂

[@johnwilson007]

It was in good shape to be that old.

[@Bearlake1624]

It’s amazing that in 2019 there are still muskets to be found 👍👍

[@jackhartzell6074]

there were tens of millions used in the war. when soldiers were captured their weapons were often just tossed in creeks. silt buried them and every now and then a good storm will bring one to the surface.

[@bo49685]

WOW!! I would be in heaven if I found something like that!! OMG, that is SO SO cool!!!!

[@perfid-deject2027]

@@jackhartzell6074 you think some died in the creek crossing or on its edge or sommmmsthni

[@WanderIndiana]

Beautiful scenery, historic mysteries, thunderstorms on the water and a USGS monitoring station! Yeah we're having fun! Thanks for sharing.

[@urbanairgunner6402]

Buggy step is a cool find for sure.

[@WayneTheSeine]

Wow..... awesome trip Chigg. The waterfall, the old timber and of course.... a freaking musket. The buggy step was an elegant little find as well. Loved it.

[@josephkerley363]

Oh wow!!! keep that musket wet and look into restoration! That is so cool!!! What a great river! You gotta go back ... so much beauty and the spring/cave ... back, you gotta go back. Several more trips.

[@furgy425]

The amount of knowledge that you freely share is astounding, I learn something from you every time I watch one of your vids, and they are very entertaining as well. Thank you, your efforts are appreciated.

[@jeannestevens8156]

Mr Beau is not average bear by any means.. I love watching his channel with my granddaughter.

[@lesahanners5057]

The buggy step and musket were to die for Chigg. I gotta say you must love the rain, or else you are a rain magnet, as you seem to be caught in it far too often. LOL This was wonderful to see and hope you go back soon for another adventure. That spring with its waterfalls and cave was so magical, it really drew me in. I don't know how you were able to keep yourself from going in deeper to check it out?! What a lovely place and so full of curious things, and beautiful too. Thanks for taking us along. Have a great day!

[@PioneerPauly]

Well done! I seem to only find bullets.. 😬

[@rondathiesen9317]

Awesome find of the musket! Does that make you a muske-teer??😂😂 cool beans Chigg! Have a great week! As always great video! Thanks 4 sharing!😁😁😁

[@tonymckee1944]

Thanks for another video Chigg. That musket was in great condition, good find! I just got off the river my self when I got your notification. I've been on the water the last 3 days and All I got was around 40 fish and to see 6 ladies kayaking topless. Keep up the good work Chigg. ;)

[@CatalinaThePirate]

Awesome, awesome, awesome! I most certainly mean the musket, but also the area where you are hunting. Gorgeous! And I learn things every time I watch your vids. I would love to see more of that mill area - You really got the archaeologist in me perked up. I guess that's one of the reasons why I've enjoyed your channel for so long. You're doing archaeology - Albeit it is a different kind of archaeology than I learned in college (I was studying prehistory), it is historic archaeology, and you make it FUN! 😸 Nice job. Thanks for doing this. I am unable to get out in it anymore, so I'm living it through you. 💗 Thank you again. 😊

[@jeannestevens8156]

That was the sweetest video.. thanks Beau Love you and your buddies.

[@its4electric]

The spring and the cave awesome

[@Raccoonmane]

Beau I don’t even know how long I’ve been watching you and you always give the same reaction when you’re excited😂

That ending was epic! Lol Thats the only thing i like about when i digg by myself sometimes, i can always leave whenever i want!

[@dakotagalvin4631]

I was never expecting to see anybody kayaking down the river let alone a person medal detecting but when it turns out you found a musket and allowed me to take a photo with it it was totally worth the sunburn

[@dragonflydigs658]

Love to watch you hunt! I’ve learned so much!! You’re awesome chigg💖💖

[@ianfallier6620]

Man, I’m jealous now. I love that musket! Congratulations on a cool find

[@reedsartofadventure]

I love how you just float up and are all like "look a musket" as if it's an everyday thing

[@americanrebel413]

Musket! What an awesome thing to find and Chigg's like, oh well, no excitement. I'd be like AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[@hooper4581]

Have you seen his collection vids ? He has amassed a plethora of relics over the years. No wonder he’s numb to finding such treasures that would send anyone else over the moon

[@paulbaker5085]

Glad to see the River Janitor has a helper . Keep up the good work cleaning our rivers and streams.

[@LightSoySauce]

The waterfall and giant spring were amazing, so unspoilt considering the locals have been using the river as a trash dump for so many centuries. The condition of the musket was unusually good, only just washed into the river from a dry burial place, only a few feet from someones new looking back yard fence ha ha. We love all your videos but there is something about a river hunt that is special, you have managed to train yourself to be able to hunt places most people will never be able to, respect for that, a natural curiosity and military trained tenacity. Thank you Mr Aquachigger :-)

[@harnesshorses]

Love it. I miss my eastern Pennsy...

[@thenovicewildcamper9192]

Love each and every one of your videos beau 😊 keep on chiggin

[@MikeMcInroe]

Gotta love your great attitude no matter what life throws at you Chigg! Love the thrill of exploring wild and beautiful places and thanks for allowing us to come along. Mike in sunny Florida

[@dannywilliams3516]

What an awesome find a musket I would be screaming if I found something that awesome. Awesome find c h i g g. And a beautiful River.

Thanks Chigg, sweet musket find never a dull moment. MOAR

[@briankesterson4365]

That musket find was fantastic! Glad that it got saved! Thanks for the hunt and H.H.

[@oldgoat7856]

Great find, eyeballing that musket. Thanks for sharing.

[@sowards66]

One of the better video's in most recent times, Thought that the, musket riffle, stirrup wagon pedal and wagon hammer, were pretty cool.,

[@jetgold]

Good old eagle eyed Chig real keen eye spotting the musket , dealing with weather element as well classic Aquachigger . Your KZbin journey has been epic .

[@shootthemoon6072]

The "swarm"also happens on fishing trips. Lol. First musket of the year though (unless I missed one somewhere); great find.

[@skyjammer]

That musket...what an amazing find! Hope you can show us what it looks like after some cleanup and preservation

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

The buggy step and musket were neat finds for sure. Good spot to look again.

[@akau1340]

Nice to see Rich wearing a PFD. Sets a good example for kids. And helps ensure he'll make it home today.

[@patriciadunn6602]

Omg !!!!! A musket !!!!.how thrilling..from SW Indiana we just don't find those...congratulations Chigg

[@greatzot]

At 18:01 when you moved the rock beside the tractor part, there was a nut (fastener) laying just to the right of it. It moved when you fanned the gravel away.

[@katherinedoughty839]

You just love those Leeches don't ya!😀 Pity you didn't find another ol gun.. minus the Leech! What an awesome spot you found with the waterfalls..definitely a nice spot to go back too! Thanks for sharing.👍

[@artistwo]

the falls are beautiful wow would like pic of that

[@SmallWonda]

Wow I've been waiting to see that musket - so where's the wrap-up, the striup was good along with the footplate, you could imagine some poor wagon coming to grief there in a wild storm...?!! Moar whacky weather, it seems. Keep safe & have fun, was a very lovely river worth exploring again in the fall perhaps, when the weather has calmed down...

[@advenzures]

Awesome video and nice finds. Thank you for sharing with us. Happy Hunting Everyone. Super adventure.

Hey man the video thank you so much for it I enjoyed this one and I enjoyed that waterfall 2 and I love that musket man if I had me my log cabin house already I would put it over my fireplace

[@RHinners1971]

Thank you once again for educating me on things I would've known about otherwise. I've learned so much about the civil war and relics from that time because of you! Our schools need people like you to teach our youth and get them excited about history!

[@geraldwise5378]

Thanks again for an awesome adventure Mr. Chigg! I could be mistaken, but I believe that the metal rings could be hub bands from carriage or small wagon wheels.

[@79personalities]

Those rings are for holding post and beam structures together. They are sandwiched between two timbers in circular grooves cut into both timbers and then a bolt is run thru both timbers inside the rings position to hold everything together. The rings are sort of anti-sheering rings. Salvaged tons of them tearing down old WWII air-force barracks.

[@dougalexander7204]

Beautiful float trip. Need to go back in the Mokai and poke around at the spring. Further, finding musket by sight was hard to believe until you pulled it up. And the mill. Too cool... You deserve to be standing in pouring down rain, grinning like a mule eat’n briars.

[@janetdoten4489]

Oh no! You forgot a flashlight! You must of gotten too water logged from the last river adventure out in that thunderstorm! Lol! Stay safe thanks for sharing!
