I Found A Gun In The River While Kayaking

I found a gun while I was floating along in my kayak looking for stuff in the river without using my metal detector. But I was metal detecting and searching the river for treasure throughout most of the day. It was a great outdoor adventure and my friend Rich and I had a blast. Plus we get caught in a nasty thunderstorm while detecting and it wouldn't be a Chigg video without some springs and CAVES!

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

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.

[@urbanairgunner6402]

Buggy step is a cool find for sure.

[@WanderIndiana]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@PioneerPauly]

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

[@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.

[@its4electric]

The spring and the cave awesome

[@akau1340]

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

[@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😂

[@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

[@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 :-)

[@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!

[@garywright5556]

That is an awesome find i would have been exclaiming with excitement

You're fricking kidding! Great find, beautiful area and more interesting "stuff". The Master of Tease & Anticipation!

[@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. 😊

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

Incredible find! Plus I like Rich’s shirt.

[@rickseifert1677]

That is a great find! A musket, nice!

[@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.

[@skyjammer]

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

[@kerrymidkiff2072]

Hi aquachigger the fresh water spring is absolutely beautiful.

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!
