WOW! First Day Metal Detecting For Artillery And I Found FOUR!

[@Shadetreejr1967]

The round object with holes around the outside is a brake rotor from an automobile, alot of people use them for anchors since they're so heavy and easy to find!

[@obtucewillie]

Its a brake rotor - a modern one

[@randomconstructions4513]

Relitively modern anyway.

[@eriksimca9409]

the whole wheelhub with brakerotor since the wheelstuds are still on there, could probably be from the 90sich since its a vented rotor

[@vicsmotos3702]

Erik Simca they've been doing vented rotors since the 70's

[@kamdynkating7914]

obtucewillie thanks for telling me

[@JJ-xj3vi]

Really depends on the term modern. Hub and rotor combos havent been used in about 20 years.

[@hooper4581]

Yayyy !! An ol school civil war artillery river adventure from chiggs !!! My favorite vids. Outstanding adventure need more civil war relic hunts chiggs. Thanks for taking us along pal

[@chadrhode779]

At 18:42, darn near drowned, you didn't tell me to hold my breath!!!

[@lalutz4604]

So glad you are back in the water relic hunting! Love the longer videos too! Thank you for always sharing!

[@andyshriner5443]

I'm not the only one who notes the first cicada of the year!

[@RHinners1971]

I swear, "HOLD YOUR BREEAATH" never gets old! ROFL!! Love it!!

[@leenorthcutt8421]

YAAAAAY, glad to see/hear you back in the water...HOLD YOUR BREATH!

[@TheIrishTexan]

Love how half the time when ya point the camera back, the boat is floating away, doin' it's own thing.

[@livewithnick]

Classic Aqua Chigger videos we all love! Nobody is an entertaining at water hunting as the Chig.

[@robotslug]

Hey Beau! I love your videos, I'm confident I have seen 90% of them. I appreciate you sharing your adventures with us! Now, I do have an idea to throw by you, have you considered a camera on the bow of your kayak for when you tow it and dive? I think it would be a cool perspective to view your recovery of these relics, especially in situations where it may be a bit more difficult for you to film such as this one. Thanks mate.

[@brettdman2908]

You didnt tell me to hold my breath at 12:40, I almost drown

[@ShotofWry]

If you hold one of those shells to your ear, I'm told you can hear the Civil War. Great hunt, congrats on the finds!

[@nanachick05]

😂

[@38kari]

Nice shells, Beau! Cute Snap Turtle 🐢, too!

[@jackalriding6309]

You sir are one of my new favorite KZbinrs. Not only do you post quality videos, but you also make your titles 100% accurate to what you post. Keep it up!

[@slackerstacker6274]

glad you are adding videos and getting back to the river treasure.

[@khammar6081]

[@Tammyfromspringhill]

[@craftylittlerthings]

I’m watching this on the 1st January 2019, so it’s the first time this year for me seeing these shells, this year anyway lol Happy New Year, May you have many good finds this year.

[@jeffnelson9420]

AWESOME!!! Very well done. Thats so cool to look down and see those shells just laying there, waiting 150 years for somebody to recover and document. Thanks for the experience.

[@mcdigsbmore6531]

Congrats on your river hunt. Thanks for taking us along!

[@deborahjaniak7531]

Great day!

[@GoldenGummybear]

[@lesahanners5057]

[@bvs9631]

Love your videos! I get so excited. Catch myself smiling. Fantastic finds!!! Wow!!!

[@colind5092]

Thank you so much Aquachigger for sharing your adventures with us! I'm in college right now so I don't have the time or money to go metal detecting, and your videos are the next best thing! Keep up the great work my friend!!!

[@sperryjt1]

I would be happy to just have the opportunity to fine one piece of civil war history.

[@ryansmith9847]

You find shells like others find bullets! Amazing video, thanks.

[@dirkayala5812]

Oh Ya!...Great Hunt & variety! looks like the MAX is working...

[@tommyvinson6]

Very nice finds on the shells Beau.

[@samc705]

Nice to see you back on the rivers again Beau,love your water hunts.

[@andrewwilson8317]

Thanks for a great video,very interesting. A bad day out hunting and in the river is still better than a good day shut in an office!

[@pyrofuzz1428]

I just love watching your channel. It's so casual and fun! Keep it up.

[@TomFromMN]

What a great day! Thanks for sharing.

[@kwyorman]

Every time you pull up a vehicle rotor, you ask what it is. Too funny Beau!

[@joef9803]

Great hunt! Thanks as always.

[@HealthyFamilyVarietyChannel]

Wow!!! 3 different shells, vastly diff sizes! What a good day indeed!!

[@whoolph]

Great finds and a turtle!! lol :) Rog

[@maryhelen1011]

Another awesome vlog! Love the finds! All the very best to you!

[@BobSaget-et6ln]

Congrats on passing the 3/4 of a million subscriber mark!

[@heehaw8401]

Must have been a massive cannon to fling that 20 pounder. Wow

[@davestelling]

What's more; can you imagine getting hit with that thing? Yikes... (!)

[@dawnlindgron5570]

What a great day,you make it so interesting by pointing out other nature things along the way. I am disabled so you make me feel like I'm right there with you. My hubby bought me an old bounty hunter I couldn't wait to try out,but can't dig and get up and down myself. He says doesn't interest him so will have to find someone else. Also my O2 tank raises cane with detector. So I'll watch you and nuggetnoggen ,! You are the best thing for me in the last 3 yrs . Loved the Alaska series,my parents lived in Fairbanks during Korean War ,dad was stationed there mom loved it. That was before it was a state ! In MN we don't have relics like you have tho😕. You keep making them and I will watch,hello to Lindsey your lovely bride.

[@colleenposadas8415]

Dawn Lindgron 😃

Dawn Lindgron god bless you, dear!

[@bruceyochim9698]

The round car part is definitely a brake rotor. It still has the lugs where the Tire goes and lug nuts.

[@samilt13]

Love the river relic search videos. Awesome.

[@bentleejbf3440]

from a sash window, the ones that are vertical with an upper and a lower, and yes definitely a brake rotor, c/w hub and bearings........cool vid Chig, as always.....

[@wolfsmith2865]

what a thrill to find USCW artillery projectiles, I own quite a few, but have never been where I could find any.

[@colarisaka]

I read that Parrott shells and Hotchkiss shells were very dangerous to advancing infantry if friendly artillery was firing over your head... they shed pieces. The Schenkl shell was preferred for for firing over the heads of friendly infantry because the sabot was made of paper mache.

[@gregwright392]

Man, they would make my bucket list.

[@berea919]

These are the Chigg videos I like to see!

[@cherylmatthews7172]

Thanks for the awesome video. Love finding relics. Let's find some more! Relic Hungary!

[@star91425]

That's some kinda rotor might be a truck rotor or maybe a car not sure, it's pretty big though that's all I know. But on another note I love your videos. I've been watching you for a while now I'm not even sure how long. I just wanted to thank you for all you do and for sharing it with us I love stuff like this from the bottom of my heart. I know your probably not gonna see this but if you do "keep doing what your doing and always look ahead... you never know what your gonna find." Also if you are reading this sorry it's so long. But for now HOLD YOUR BREATH!!! lol I love that saying I really do.

[@JGAC300]

@10:20- brake rotor

[@oigeeeni]

Great hunt! Congrats on those gorgeous shells!!

[@sparrowgodschild150]

Congratulations on your first day finds :) . I really enjoyed watching you find those. Thank you!

[@mattskiba25]

Moar!!!

[@davidmtwigg]

Four is a good start but you need to find MOAR!

[@bradosbourne587]

Awesome beau!

[@halfnhalfwithsage3416]

I was out at the river yesterday. I went to the Antietam today. Just looked around a bit. Didn't find anything but old pottery fragments, an old whistle, and a turtle shell.

[@colleenposadas8415]

Half n Half with Sage still cool though and you got outside!

[@muddycoils6947]

Wow what a hunt!! That rock looked exactly like a shell!

[@pmk-es1rw]

Hi aquachigger, big fan and love to see all the civil war relics you find and I was wondering if you ever considered opening up your collection to the public, I'd love to learn more about the stuff you've found.

[@socalmx255]

5:55...i thought your kayak had a mind of its own!!! then i saw your line. haha happy hunting ! also its a brake rotor from a car!

[@jamesdisney325]

Great video and some awesome saves.

[@slymancollector4157]

so happy to see you back in the river!

[@thebatzinator]

Great finds!!!!

[@siberiandaddy6065]

at 10:41, its a rotor for a disc brake. its what the brake shoes squez on to slow or stop the vehicle. you can see the bolt studs where the lug nuts would be tightning to hold the wheel on.

[@keithpeverill8521]

Chig, you should fabricate and weld a go-pro holder to one of those old boat anchors you keep finding. Then you could set it in the sand pointed at the hole you are fanning and have both hands free!

[@richardgrumpywelsh2485]

I injoy all of your videos, Keep up the good work, Most of us know very little about the Civil war.

[@joet7698]

Hurray for Mr. Chigg, great video. The artillery shaped object that was silent was a Rock Hotchkiss. I believe the B-52s wrote a song about it in the 80's. :-)

[@DonPablo2011]

Woohoo, Chigg's back on the river. That lump of metal looked like a rear brake disk to a vehicle.

[@Wwally]

What an incredible day. Great job Chig

[@Ravenghunter]

Got ya a rotor I see...lol Awesome video Beau :) I love when you find artillery shells, cannonballs, muskets etc...wish I could go out and do that...

[@coinucopia]

That was a "shell" of a hunt! Good job Beau!

[@Emptypockets51]

Nicely done Sir. Thank you.

[@thespecialmekhanhiks7432]

AquaChigger you should go to linenville caverns in the nc mountains its so cool and there is a old civil war firepit in the cave and you should go to morrow mountain nc there is a historic house love vids keep it up

[@AK-AR--el5yi]

Nice vid chigg keep up the great work best luck

[@whotknots]

Soo well done bud. I really enjoy the adventures and all the fascinating stuff you have to share. As I am Australian you might imagine we have lots more smaller shallower streams than decent rivers as folks in the US probably think of them. Although our history does not span as far back as the US, we do have some extensive gold mining regions here and more than a few are in almost inaccessibly mountainous places best reached by water via long shallow waterways. Consequently I have looked at the Mokai website and it appears as though the latest models may well now incorporate all the best features of the older boats you spoke of in one of your clips. Prior to chronic injury I served as a police officer for more than a decade in some of the most remote parts of Australia and due to a deep love for remote regions have visited many more. In my youth I also used to scuba dive and as such on more than one occasion I have wondered why you don't use one of those small, compact, lightweight and exceptionally quiet, battery powered Hookah units when snuffling about in deeper water. I also noticed that you don't appear to magnet fish using a lightweight rope on a strong magnet in some of the deeper holes. Are there some sort of local laws or other factors preventing us of hookah gear on inland waterways?

[@adventuresunknown1013]

Aquachigger, That was a great day for you to find 4 shells! I hope that you find a lot more!

[@frankiehall2585]

That's a brake rotor that you found. Awesome finds.

[@cartridgegamegeeks]

doing good man. keep the seasons high

[@deborah6550]

Around 1820, free-reed designs began being created in Europe. Christian Friedrich Ludwig Buschmann is often cited as the inventor of the harmonica in 1821, but other inventors developed similar instruments at the same time.

[@07zx14White]

I used to remodel houses in an old neighborhood. I saved all the window weights to use in my jon boats and to give to my friends for the same thing.

[@K0ester]

Kevin Ball Jon boat? What's that.

[@07zx14White]

K0ester A common nickname (where I'm from) for a small flat bottom boat.

[@K0ester]

Kevin Ball ah! Thanks, learn something new everyday. Do you use the weights as an anchor or some sort or what for? Thanks, I just like learning everything

[@07zx14White]

K0ester Yes sir we used them as anchors because they are made of heavy cast iron and they already had a hole molded on one side for the rope. Well, and they were free and that helps when you lose them often in certain places. I generally use actual purpose built anchors nowadays but they actually worked fairly well. I may need to test them next to actual anchors and see how they hold up comparatively. If so I'll just use them again. It doesn't hurt the wallet when you tangle one up in deep water and have to cut the rope to move.

[@randyedmonson3385]

Chigg, that's a disc brake rotor off a car or truck.really enjoying this video.have a great hunt.

[@justicews]

Always interesting and informative. Thanks!

[@theterrynisbet4650]

well done chigg

[@crazystuw6969]
