I Found A Cannon! (...axle...again)

Please join me as I metal detect this site I found a few weeks ago. I do a thorough search this time and find some more Civil War relics and a button. I also decide to carry out the cannon axle and hope to go back for the wheel soon. BTW, it is called a "cannon axle" because it looks like a baby cannon. It would go to a fam wagon and not a cannon. I get quite a few "tips" about cannons in rivers and they are usually just these. Audio is a little shaky in this one too...

I always get excited when I see the Chig posted a new video. I can't imagine how much time it takes to get that good at this!

[@David-yh5po]

Glad to see you on the trail again. I honestly think you will find a lot of good people places and great sights to remember.

[@debbiebissel50]

These and bottle/detecting videos are my favorite. Thank you Jake.

[@hardluckclub7271]

just gotta say chigg, i’ve been a fan for some time and just so ya know i like your vids b4 i even watch them! what i would give to spend a day in your neck of the woods swinging a detector. for now i’ll live vicariously through you! your a class act, thanks for being a great stewart of the hobby and sharing your love of history to all of us on the tube!!!!

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Hey, Beau, I always love the Civil War finds! Awesome find of the bayonet, I'd have been speechless! Great bullet finds and bullets. Lovin' it!

[@jessiepayne737]

Nice finds, cool bayonet, looking forward to your next trip there. Enjoyed your video and as always Be Safe and HH.

[@Chasing_The_Dream]

How about some preservation videos? Or have I somehow missed those? Even with the audio issues, we are all here hooked.

[@ashmaybe9634]

He did them years ago, look at his early videos :)

[@rondathiesen9317]

Very cool finds! Have a diggin good day to you and the Mrs. Chigg!!😁😁

[@alabamadixiediggers4714]

Another great civil war relic hunt... Thanx Chigg see ya on the next

[@donaldbrown7878]

As always a great informative video. Love seeing all the history come to lite again. Regards Teri

[@chrisjordan4574]

Dude love the bayonet!! The wagon wheel and axle would make a great display! Definitely worth going back for a longer hunt! Thanks Chigg👍👍👍

[@BrokeMoFo]

The axle and that "wheel" are from two different eras.... That axle was typical of a wooden hub and spoke style wheel banded with iron rings, while the other would have been of a much smaller iron axle type.

[@bottlecapbryan7497]

Classic Aquachigger !!!! I love it ! Thanks for sharing. Hope you get the audio fixed soooon !

[@UrbanDKaye]

That bayonet is an excellent find!

[@zps272]

One of my favorite KZbinrs. I appreciate the videos man.

[@advenzures]

Very nice video and great adventure. Happy Hunting. Thank you for sharing.

[@SJsmixedAdventures]

I just love watching your hunts. I have to live vicariously through you, we don’t have cool places like that in San Diego. Thank you for putting out amazing videos! 👏👏👏

[@jacktownsend8260]

Good information in your videos Beau, thanks for sharing.

[@rebelking7302]

Man I tell at, if there is ever a man to step in crap and come out smellin like roses its you sir. I've tried to get into metal detecting and have been discourage, there's SSSSOOOOO much garbage where I go it's extremely difficult to come out a winner at all. Great job!

[@Kwkeaton]

Watching while eating breakfast. As always, can't wait to see the next.

[@hsbrooks]

You know, there’s always a self proclaimed expert who really knows just enough to be dangerous. RE: bayonet. You go Chigg

[@patriciadunn6602]

Love your "side stories"..lol...I don't know what you job use to be..but you would have made an awesome History teacher....Thanks Beau

[@ML-gx9rp]

Really love these video's,always learn something new with each upload 😀

[@nanachick05]

The wheel and axle would definitely go home with me. Nice find Beau!!

[@nickhighland799]

Noice, you've been doing really good with the civil war relics lately. Maybe another update vid on the collection soon?

[@jchestnutoutdoors9033]

You are a hell of a guy. I love your videos they are so fun and you make them educational. Will probably never happen but would love to meet you one day, shake your hand and maybe even look for some treasures. Keep it up!

[@selzasteve837]

Seriously love you 💕 Not in a creepy way 🤣 I love everything that you show us. I am an Aussie 🇦🇺 and this is just so unbelievable to see.

[@VickieV1333]

Fun in the water with Chigg!

[@emiliomorterapiorno4961]

Good work...again! Hello from Spain. You are my favorite Channel...

[@aserta]

The wheel and axle ain't a match, that's a considerably larger axle than the wheel can accept. There's this amazing fella that does old school cool restorations and rebuilds (or scratch builds) of old wagons, canon mounts, so on. EngelsCoachShop is the channel name. Maybe shoot him an email so he can give in some insights on that axle, he know his is stuff.

[@kenbush3434]

Congrats on the finds, especially the bayonet. It would be hard for me to hide the excitement!

[@MrRobingilliam]

time for some audio equipment you keep fading in and out love your videos ty for taking us along

[@user-sr7dp2wc9h]

Great guys! Keep up the good work! Good luck to you!

[@danielbrewer6528]

We love your videos! Keep up the good work.

[@richardklapka5147]

Always like what you find! Its amazing! Your videos are awesome! Rk.

[@will-da-beast4628]

Love your knowledge and stories keep them coming

[@tonymckee1944]

Thanks for another video Chigg.

[@tonymckee1944]

Yay a cannon!!! (Axle). ;) it's all good. Love the bayonet.

[@tillmansomethinrother296]

Cool finds as always. You may need to hit that go-pro every now and then like an old 1950's TV

[@randlerichardson5826]

Hey great find Chigg. Congratulations buddy.

[@courtneesdad]

Very cool. I bet it was hard to leave that place. You found good targets

[@SilverSaxon]

Man, I think I'd try to find a way to take that wheel home. I love these videos where you find civil war artifacts.

[@tommyglasgowphd9242]

There was a huge Union Camp close to where I live. The area was by several re-doubts. From where their Camp was, they must have set up targets across the river on to a Hugh field. A friend of mine said he found bullets in the ground by the pocket full!

[@lesahanners5057]

Sweet finds today Chigg, this was super cool. Just made me nervous when you said, "I'm going to put you under." Sounded way too much like my surgeon. ...ha ha ha... I think, "Hold your breath", is a little more doable. ...ha ha ha... As for the sound, if it failed completely I would take a class on how to read lips, because I wouldn't miss you being up the creek for the world. LOL I don't think all guns carried in the Civil War had bayonets. I own a 1856 Over & Under Tennessee Long Rifle, made by my hubbies 2nd grt. grandpa. He carried it during the Civil War as a Southern Confederate. It never had a bayonet.

[@JanVafa]

That type of bit is a curb bit for horses ... a solid piece with a jump in the middle ... not jointed like a snaffle!

[@respectanimals2]

Love these vids 😎👍⛏

[@Thehuntinghillbilly2]

Bummer I was hoping you would find the sword. Lol. Thanks chigg

[@dawnlindgron5570]

How interesting and fun!

[@jefffisher6120]

Much more enjoyable than the cave videos

[@shawnb4938]

Chig, you never load a muzzleloader by pushing on the ram rod with the palm of your hand. You use a finger(s) or palm under the pinky finger. If it is hot it may discharge sending tge ram rod through your hand. That way you can also load with tge bayonet on. Did this thousands of times with out a problem.

[@staceya6683]

I almost drown, I wasnt ready and you didn't say "hold your breath" ☹ Nice finds!

[@limesmd3573]

Very cool finds.

[@billbly1691]

Great video always learning thank you

[@brandonparker1448]

Awesome video!

[@randlerichardson5826]

Staying in that spot will be worth it I say Chigg. Be safe GOD BLESS.

[@bobpace5464]

A great video handsome great find I enjoy your videos

[@WatchDutchMD]

Love all video’s , ! Greetings from Holland Brian

[@dougalexander7204]

It’s amazing to think that where Chigg is digging a hundred and fifty some years ago Americans were fighting for a way of life they believed in. The industrialist and the agriculturalists. Everyone stay awesome.

[@mercedithcompala8148]

Great finds...

[@americanrebel413]

Thanks Chigg!

[@scottsmith4111]

Hey man thanks for the video yeah the audio has up and down a little bit there but that's fine cuz you know what I like watching you you just keep being who you are not worried about the trolls and what they have to say about you you just keep being yourself don't change a thing because that's the way God Made You

[@codycrawford2059]

what an awesome little spot please go back ill hold my breath until you do

[@bumpy9024]

Hello from Washington State 🇺🇸 please get another Camara so we can really hear what your saying!!!!

[@christopherrobin3111]

And the wizard has struck again nice video bro..

[@billparker987]

Do a video on the things you find, after the have been cleaned as much as you dare to !! "Way down on the ???? river " Good work!! Glued to youtube !! keep it up !! Bill.

[@timthetoolmanofenc8892]

Hey Chig, I happened to catch one of you yak vids and you have lit a fire in me, I live here on the southern outer banks of NC and I have a buddy that love to mud dive as much as I do so we are back at the detecting and mud diving. I have never thought about river diving, we have a few rivers inland a few hrs drive from the coast. I also have some inlaws the live in the great state of Va. in the Yorktown area and also to the west around Richmond area, I will be in Goochland near the James river. I hope to do some river diving/mudlarking detecting or bottle hunting while I am there, wish me luck!!!! Keep up the good work I am so envious I wish I could play in the mud and make money.LOL

[@joet7698]

I saw the bayonet :-) Thanks, Chigg

[@FOUNDITBURIED]

It's a amazing how you can read the ground around you, If i could learn some of them skills, I would be a-lot better at Metal Detecting. Gona have to keep watching you If i want to learn more. And That's the best part of learning form the CHIGG.

[@Pantherman63]

Nice bayonet. My father had one from the Korean War. He was there as a MASH nurse/assistant.

[@killjoy987987]

History lessons are a must have

[@WayneTheSeine]

Nice finds Chigg. COME ON GOPRO. DONATE THE CHIGG A CAMERA...THE BEST ONE YA GOT....WE ARE ALL WATCHING WHAT YOU DO.

[@gameoverlord8012]

Get the Wheel!

[@victoriajean586]

Couldn't remember what type of gopro you had, but I guess they're having audio issues with the gopro 5 through 7. A few youtubers loaded up some videos of a fix or two on how to adjust it.

[@louisaziz1235]

Hey Mr. Chubb... You have found so many bullets. Have you counted and categorized them according to Calibre I and type of weapon? I think that would be very interesting. I have heard that some soldiers bought Henry rifles using their own money. Is that true, and how did they re-supply with cartridge's? Really like your channel. So much was not taught in school. (Even worse now). Keep it coming. History should never be forgotten.

[@joshuataft5541]

Omg that eyeballed bayonet. Man chigg

[@gavinargabright4487]

Seen an arrow head when you was using the pen pointer finding horse shoe

[@richardwarnock2789]

Beau there's MORE for SURE!!!; )

[@turtle08s]

Now that is cool stuff.

[@turtle08s]

Then I got to the bayonet and I yelled “THAT’S AWESOOMMMEEE!!!!!”

[@Lornor1]

Go back with a 1/4 inch mesh screen, I saw what looks like several arrow heads and some brokes while you were digging!

[@roguerebel2023]

At 6:14, do ya see it? Well, do ya? Bottom just right of center, probably just a rock, but looks flat and round standing on edge. Probably would have found it with the pin pointer if it were a coin/button, but you never know...

[@roguerebel2023]

Tami S. Oh yeah, I see what you mean!

[@chrisarnold5154]

No more videos for me guy, until the audio /video problems I loved watching.

[@Euragone68]

Thank god for CC!

[@williamburdon6993]

It's amazing that you found that bayonet just sticking up like that, I wonder how many people in the last 150 years have walked right past it?

[@z4zuse]

Chigg’s gloves are rated 4342 on the EN 388 norm.

[@carpdude73]

I hope GoPro is helping you fix this problem! I have heard about other folks having issues with the latest GoPros!

[@aserta]

This time around it seems the case is at fault.

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Cool to watch and educational as always Chigg, when ya coming back to hunt gold again?

[@garymaris9471]

I'm thinkin', ole mr. Beaver probably (in his day), stashed all the gold coins in his lodge, they can be sneaky ya know!

[@Maverickjs74]

just watched "OMG! I Found A Huge Silver Treasure Hoard Metal Detecting!" after this one and was wondering, do you sell some of your finds or keep them all. Would love a video showing your most treasured finds. Thanks

[@stubs1227]

He does not sell his relics.

[@MrFlames01]

Hi there. I bet the cannon must be buried close to that place. You will need a more powerful machine so that it’ll pick it up. I saw you using a CTX once, that will pick it up at 1.2 meters easily, maybe even if it’s deeper than that but you’ll need to clear the area of all signals first. Good luck!

[@jdraver]

looks like a wagoon may of got lost there with you finding so much including horse shoes

[@davidjeter6042]

Takes money to make money. Glad for your good fortune

[@erikglad9975]

I found a bayonet that had remnants of a bees wax candle in the hub. We believe it was used by a soldier while incamped as a light within his tent. Was neet to imagine thethings that was going threw his mind while using it.

[@cambarry5253]

What was that thing with the hole in it that came in to view just above your AT-Pro at minute (5:19) just below the surface of the water?

[@leannkennedy6568]

With all the bullets you've found you could arm every one of your chiggs army soldiers for battle. 🤭

[@deerhunter7482]

Chig I thought I found a cannon but it turned out to be a shaft from a grist mill all 500 lbs of it .

[@erinnmutz1152]

That stream is a treasure trove.

[@411NOW]

6:00 mark you forgot to tell me to hold my breath. damn near drowned sir :-)

[@lynnlopez3274]

If it is an axle, how many more parts and pieces will it take to reconstruct the wagon?😁. The bayonet probably had DNA on it! That root ball needs poking. Swishing for relics.

[@bangjanu2415]

Woww amazing...🇮🇩👍👍👍🙏😊🤝

[@garycarter961]

I did see it! but...didn't know what It was.
