Yeah Baby! Five Extraordinary Finds In One Day!

This was an adventure to remember. While out scouting a new area I discovered a site that yielded five really cool Civil War artillery shells in afternoon. I will definitely return to this fantastic and relic rich site to metal detect and even SCUBA dive in the near future. Stayed tuned!

When is head leaf getting its own channel?

[@martinfrylink4252]

Head leaf is working out how to monetize his channel before launching. Stay tuned.

[@swbottles]

@@martinfrylink4252 I thought you were supposed to start a channel and get a following, then monitize it.

[@CHAD-RYAN]

I came across the leafs channel the other day. It wasnt very interesting tho.

[@monicaparnell]

I am so glad you finally went back under and got rid of that leaf...lol....I couldn't keep my eyes off of it.

[@shimmeronfoxclaw5549]

Holy! Awesome finds 👊🏼

[@littlejimmy2855]

Moar videos please love this stuff. Lol thanks chigg

[@p165ter]

Does anybody know what kind of 'boat' that is? I've seen a canoe that is similar, it has an engine in the back. But i don't know the name of it.

[@p165ter]

Thanks for the reply. Awesome videos.

[@jdog1297]

Plz....the leaf...omg wipe your forehead...wtf FOREHEAD LEAF. haha...great video, severely traumatized by the leaf !

[@thurin84]

tired of artillery shells?!?!?!?!? never!!! what about the gun barrel?

[@davefox1857]

I LOVE THE LEAF ON YOUR HEAD! ARE YOU TRYING OUT A NEW LOOK?

[@josegalopez]

Brushing my forehead the entire length of this video... I can feel it

[@monabale8263]

i wip my leef bak an' forth...

[@davefox1857]

LEAF ME ALONE.

[@annieg7440]

Lol.. I was trying to zoom in to see what the hell it was.

[@millsey223boi7]

DAVE FOX seriously good pun i gotta axe you a question And knife to meet you I have a lot more jokes

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

great sharing and thanks for that. Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter

[@kurtsoderberg]

You two on a hunt, nice,

[@starkw0w967]

Am i the Only one that got triggered by the darn leaf on his head?!

[@Project2013B]

30 years ago it would of just been considered funny.

[@IratePuffin]

I think they’re using the word triggered to just say it was annoying them. I had the urge to pick it off his head the whole time too.

[@jimkey920]

I waqs concerned abou the , "Flesh Wound" on your forehead, maybe a leech? Nope it was a leaf. Oh the hazards of your craft!

[@SolodaSorte]

One more video with interesting finds. So many things 👍 (from Japan)

[@WayaWolf]

Aquachigger would you count yourself as a archeologist, not professional but in the field of your history and knowledge you sure could be one...

[@hygrometer]

i lik3 your pet leaf

[@secotioid]

Yeah i thought it was some insect attacking him at first.

[@MrAtrophy]

I am constantly afraid one day he will put the magnet down and then we hear a big thwump as it blows up

[@carolv8450]

Could that happen?

[@brandonzack9872]

No

[@rrhodes4433]

yes! me too! arent they live shells??

[@brandonzack9872]

Yes but the gunpowder is so old that there isn't any risk of it going off

[@jimmyroberts3]

Theyre live. But theyve been in the water for 150. And chances are, the reason they are there is because they were defective or were wet in the first place. Still somewhat dangerous i guess.

[@scottlund4562]

Beautiful finds! Ever worry about Bull sharks in that type of water??

[@jeffnelson9420]

AWESOME !!! DUDE !!! AWESOME !!! 5 SHELLS and a frag! Thanks for sharing.

[@thekingsilverado9004]

Those shells do not appear to have been fired. I wonder how they got in the river there. I often heard stories from my friends about people using old civil war ordnance as Ballast for House Boats and small skiffs. During storms they often either tried to escape up those little inlets or storm blew em in little channels where boats sometimes sank and or got stuck after the storms sometimes left as quick as they came.... I would love to hear theories about how that stuff got there. Interesting the reason I watch your videos. Some of em are just dern fascinating..

[@luckykat4551]

Sorry, everytime you put the camera on you. All I could see is that leaf stuck on your forehead! Haha

[@RobbWilliams11]

Heather Andrews I feel your pain... Me too 😩

[@budtheamerican.4063]

It's killing me

[@christineberry3076]

Pretty cool you’re removing old artillery stuff, for your collection.

[@anotherdayinparadise8992]

He puts a ton of effort into his hobby

[@imdrunken]

Roger Wooley detecting becomes a crazy addiction. It's like gambling, but better odds.

[@ronfox2900]

I think it's his full time job. With the views he gets.

[@omotn61]

Nah, Dude, he said that he'd built a business , sold it, comfortably retired, and this is his hobby that he gets to do all the time! Dude, the man has 3 degrees!

[@celestecoleman5154]

Wow you were hunting in brackish water..... hope you didn't find any bull sharks..

[@robotslug]

What a beautiful shell! Too bad I drowned because I didnt hold my breath!

[@thekingsilverado9004]

That's a sail weight used to raise and lower sails on sail boats along with half a dozen other uses and in the 1990's at my store I sold em as RIVER ANCHORS. (At the end of your video you asked what's this?) A sail weight combination sailor item congradulations I sold em around here for 35 bucks a piece.. That one looks authentic though not the chinese crappers I sold in the store..

[@lynnreem8900]

The part that you are wondering about is part of a stamp mill.

[@markrehs2912]

I admit I do not know anything about artillery shells but are those un-fired shells explosive? Could they be lethal? Nice finds.

[@paparude7724]

Some have been killed by civil war ordinance, yes. But if powder gets wet at all, it's becomes harmless.

[@colind5092]

Good afternoon Mr. Chigg! Can't wait to finish this video! Thanks for continuing to put out awesome content, you are truly living the dream!

[@brendaprice7686]

Your videos are fantastic no matter what you find. I'm a big fan if you can't tell and live in south central Virginia. I'm curious if relics have been found in my area. Anyway, be safe & happy hunting.

[@durn863]

Youre not a strong swimmer? I think your selling yourself short, you basically live in the river Chigg!! XD

[@Serega_Krokodil]

Excellent video with good finds, you're the best! Good luck my friend!

[@MikeeVee]

Man, I'd love to go hunting with you at some point, I wouldn't mind adding some decent, personally found relics to my civil war collection.

[@Opioids00]

Great day for you and a very good video. Enjoy all your vids no matter what you find..

[@tonyf8358]

WOW Thanks for posting this! AND Thanks for not posting spoilers in title. I love the anticipation of waiting for the find!

[@willykanos1044]

The maul with the cutting edge is the head of a splitting maul. They are used to split firewood that is too tough for an axe.

[@zettle2345]

The weight of it, makes it perfect for splitting big logs and stumps. The hammer head end is so you can drive it thru, if it gets stuck lol used one for years, did all my splitting in the winter, so I could work up some warmth. keep these great videos coming, Chig. and thanks for all your hard work in making them

[@MrKmoconne]

I used a 12 pound version of one of those when I was a 14 year old kid. My neighbor, who was a "hoss" had a 22 pound "monster maul" that he used to destroy logs that would not split with the lighter (16lbs) version maul. Beau could probably put a new handle on that one he found and keep using it.

[@samueljames9342]

You should number your sites, that way you can refer to it on any follow up videos

[@jaybales3160]

I enjoy seeing you discovering and finding a home for relics. Saving history one episode at a time. Enjoyed watching and learning. Thanks for sharing.

[@jthreeb]

WANT MOAR????? CHECK OUT AQUACHIGGERS OFFICIAL FACEBOOK PAGE "CHIGG'S ARMY"

[@solosearcher]

did anyone else notice this video was posted 2 weeks ago???? hold ur Breath lol

[@solosearcher]

oh I thought that was to see extra video's not show on the tube

[@jthreeb]

there is extra on patreon, as well as his facebook group Chigg's Army

[@Parker_rules]

did you know know there were a leaf on your head?

[@carolv8450]

Looked like a bug

[@bill2339]

Of course he knew... it's camouflage.

[@christopherball7937]

I have a Question Do you keep these Civil War Relics. Or do you sell or donate to museum's. Can you veiwers buy these relics ?

[@carolv8450]

Do u find anything from the Revolutionary War?

[@judylutz1702]

I don't know how you do it, Beau. Your video's just keep getting better and better. I learn so much from you. Keep it up. You should have a tv show.

[@valiantwarrior4517]

I’d watch it! He really does have the charisma for it.

[@Aluminata]

Great show..but maybe not much longer- dude - you are going blow your self to Kingdom Come!

[@raphaelb2901]

LeafyIsHere for sure

[@AnsaLupina]

I’d love to see follow up videos for these finds after they’ve had their baths and been cleaned up a bit

[@leemcginnis738]

Anything Civil War related is good. Awesome finds for sure!

[@jimgriffiths9071]

Great finds Beau. So fun to see you pumped up. I must tell you that I was looking for the mask. I think you left it in the truck again......

[@TreasureTracker]

Artillery shells look like big bullets!

[@jerseydemon4134]

Treasure Tracker they essentially are...

[@danielmccurry4745]

When you find big shells like these will you give an approximate value for them. Ike bullet values, but big shells are less common. A little history about them would be nice too! Thanks.

[@The_rusty_corner.]

You could find the holy grail, all I'm seeing is that leaf on your forehead

[@lindanwfirefighter4973]

Chigg that one thing looked like a bayonet!

[@jordanhudson9383]

I wonder what that was

[@PirateSixActual]

Chig, have you ever found Civil War items (or ones of similar age) where you were able to figure out the exact story behind them? Like ID discs or personal items, and found out how they were lost or whatever?

[@asentimentalman6655]

Nice finds...i want thank you for changing my speech paterns. I find myself saying things like. I suspect.....i suppose...or im sure....guess ive been watching to many your videos lol

[@chrisgandy1260]

Hello Aquachigger i am replying to a question you had on the Quick Cleaning Iron Civil War Relics From A Recent Adventure video about the black powder in the shells its similar to a dead blow hammer they work off of the same principle if you look it up it will explain it

[@Azmodai34]

chris gandy thanks for that

[@jimmyroberts3]

Chigs still got it! 5 shells in one day. Ive only found 4 in my life. Lol. All on land, but still. Great to see ya doin what u do best. 5 in one day....arrrrrrr. epic!

[@austindavid7675]

Me. Beau I swear you are the luckiest man to in the metal detecting water finding business, busisedies chill bill and his gold coin

[@thebatzinator]

Loved this!! Not all of us are here just for the sparklies. 😉Those are nice too, though..lol.

[@HeartbreakerRelics]

Cool finds there Beau but that leaf on your head was driving me crazy lol. I'm a little OCD.

[@stinkycatz]

That leaf was driving me MAD ! I wanted to reach into the screen and thump it off your head . Great video . Congrats on your finds .

[@dianefeltner4084]

I am a beginner at metal detecting what is the best detector for a beginner and I can't seem to find anything , so discouraged And I live in north east Alabama and there's no old war relics for my area Any suggestions where to look But love all your different videos

[@janetthurston852]

Don't be discouraged, it's probably good exercise and fresh air. Consider any find a good one😎

[@richardbaumeister466]

That skeeter at 3'20 second was draining your brain!

[@keithjohnson6352]

Hello Aquachigger, Have You Ever Found A Cannon, And Do You Give TOUR'S Too Your Collection At Home.!!

[@mhollman8650]

3:27 4head fishing lure??? LOL

[@MrLeonardh1956]

looks like you had a good time thanks for showing us hope you have many more like it

[@5280Adventures]

Amazing hunt! I love those shells. Great job.

Youre awesome' :)

[@darlene1187]

In Canada, I don't think you are technically permitted to have WW1 or WW2 shells and artillery related artifacts, in your home. We called the military for help identifying ours. They sent a disposal team and explained the artifacts were legally the property of the Canadian Military. Hmm! I don't have enough knowledge about the artillery to feel comfortable touching any of it. You found some great stuff!!!

[@christopher81018]

I'm from Canada and don't do much river hunting. Why do you find so many shells in rivers. How did they get in they in the rivers.

[@Finimonji]

christopher81018 there was a civil war camp next to the river.

[@zettle2345]

Plus river crossings are important places to hold. Bridges were key in WW2.

[@magpiefrogfrom2556]

I think the chigg said that some of the shells had a paper mache clasp to fit the cannon rifling if it got wet its an instant throw away.

[@christopher81018]

Thanks. That sounds more likely.

[@TravelBackroads]

Wow! Another epic hunt. Thanks for sharing it.

[@LadyTressa]

You have great equipment! Do you ever take a metal detector on land?

[@ChillBill1]

Great hunt Beau, congratulations.

[@johnmotzenbecker1268]

ten min , and twenty sec in , who! It's gone !

[@Highstranger951]

Dude, your forehead cracks me up. There's always something hitching a ride. Be it mosquito, mud, or leaf!

[@normawinton6832]

Wow! Exciting finds! Thanks for showing the way it was fired, im learning something new everyday.

[@ericastoll1006]

Woohoo exploring with mr chiggles cool finds.

[@GoneDiggin]

Dream hunt I'd love to find one in the water

[@carolyngaulin7822]

Watching your videos Hold your breath. You got awesome content! From Massachusetts!

[@carolcampbell5623]

Just watched this video. Great finds and as always lots of laughs. I really wanted to jump through the screen and pick that leaf off you 😂

[@Ridgeroader]

Isn't there a detonation risk with those artillery shells?

[@RBPx1]

Wow Chig, This was another Awesome hunt Great Finds GL/HH Bryan

[@KD0LRG]

Not a strong swimmer. That was funny

[@steveroush4147]

Hey Beau, do you keep everything you find, or do you donate some things to museums?

[@brandonnorton6647]

Chigg, that piston shaped item you thought was an artillery shell was a maste weight off of an old sail boat or pirate ship!!! HOLD YOUR BREATH!!!!

[@rrhodes4433]

Ahhh Chigg, you are driving my ocd crazy lol!! How do you not feel that leaf on your forehead?!

[@wolfsmith2865]

Excellent finds! I would kill to get out and actually find shells like those in my collection.

[@passionspersuades]

Missouri and Arkansas has way too many caves and rivers are extraordinary for what you do...just saying..thousands of sink holes..also the state of Nevada and Blyth California..lots to explore...so many rivers..soooo much history...you want river relics..Missouri and Mississippi river. In Louisianna, you'll find lots of relics in the water byways of historic sites...I'm feeling you're limiting yourself.

[@nycollasyoutube1241]

Mosso pfv adoro coisas antigas tu é tau mais o que eu mais gosto é de telefone esse telefone que vc acha pfv te enploro de eles para mim eu sou do Brasil Minas Gerais pfv emtra entre encontato comigo

[@James-lj7rm]

Your comment about not knowing if you are still allergic to poison ivy was proven wrong by "Mr. Winky's" tragic run-in with Mr. Ivy in "An Ash Tree Catastrophe And A Chigger Disaster" LOL

[@ToddEWalnuts]

Leaf Beau's head alone..

[@passionspersuades]

check out Tennessee, Kentucky if you enjoy civil war relics...Missouri is the hot spot for everything you love..just saying..after 5 videos..you got boring..love your site and adventures..

[@starraustin9363]

Chigg , love your show. Come to sc and check Indian mounds and ft Moultry revolution sights and a few civil warsights . Santee,Elloree. Hwy 261 kings hwy. trace Tarlton on his trip down hwy 261. ( and then later , Sherman in his ride down kings hwy burning plantation after plantation. How the “Swamp Fox” gave the British hell. Many great sights in 1.5 hr radeous. I love the civil war but an old friend that passed ( an expert) said you got the start at the revolution. That’s when great men were greater! Come see us! Help teach our children their heritage . Help kids remember who true American are and what we went through to get this far!

[@rustyaxelrod]

Explosive ordinances don’t get more stable over time, they get less stable. As an Aircraft Armament Tech for 30years, I can tell you, for certain, those things can take your life. Old UXO (unexplored ordinance) are simply not safe. We don’t wanna lose ya man. Get some training if you are going to handle that stuff. I had a class just a few months ago and one of the examples was a fella in your line of work. After poppin one off trying to “safe” it (yup, dead) the bomb squad found several more on display in his home. It’s all good until it ain’t.

[@tomseadon9965]

This guy is world’s better than Marlin Perkins Was! Goin back a few years here, like the early to latter 60’s! The heavy object with the eyelet at the end of this video may be a “sounding weight”, used for checking water depth. They would attach lines with knots every 6’( 1 Fathom”) to check the water depth to keep from running aground.

[@keithr.4735]

Great finds Beau! Really enjoy watching you find those shells.

[@theloudamerican2193]

Good score! I’m glad there’s guys like you keeping our nations history alive.

[@adventureislife7793]

always love the water hunts :)

[@steveculbert4039]

I WISH YOU WOULD EXPLAIN WHY ARTILLERY SHELLS ARE FOUND UNEXPLODED IN A CREEK. Please do that.

[@UrbanDKaye]

Wow Chigg, spectacular finds! Nice variety too.

[@dennismorrison8070]

Wonder how many of your videos I can watch in one night Beau, LOL Nice Shells, I have a Shenkle Shell Sabot, found it near Culpeper.

[@aldenunion]

I find goodies in my region,but wish was more shell lobbing.lol..Or maybe not.lol...Those flame Fuller grooves to ignite fused was new one for me...Never heard of them...I wonder if steam engine types had off center counter weights.?? That one apparatus may be of some sort? The side pin may have been to control wagging out of consistency..Awesome there, would enjoy even getting skunked in those places.lol...Just the chance because sun cannot shine if you are in the shade...Nice hunt..
