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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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. 😊
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. ;)
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
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 :-)
Good old eagle eyed Chig real keen eye spotting the musket , dealing with weather element as well classic Aquachigger . Your RUclips journey has been epic .
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.👍
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!
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
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
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!
WOW !!!! DUDE..... congrats on the Musket. great eyeball. .. to bad y'all didn't get on a stretch that was " PAVED WITH BULLETS " .... definitely go back and hit the cave... looked real interesting. Thanx Chigg. see ya on the next
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.
I like that pick of your's Beau, did you modify it yourself? now that waterfall/spring was very awesome now that musket find was so very cool... Thanks for sharing Beau...
It's amazing you eyeballed that! I'm surprised the wood is still in good condition! Amazing that in 2019 muskets still just sitting on the bottom of rivers
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...
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.
Watching your channel for year and u always come up with something like this rifle for all your hard work from civil war l love it l am Australian we don’t have anything like this l am blown away cheers
It’s amazing that in 2019 there are still muskets to be found 👍👍
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.
WOW!! I would be in heaven if I found something like that!! OMG, that is SO SO cool!!!!
@@jackhartzell6074 you think some died in the creek crossing or on its edge or sommmmsthni
When you pulled that musket out the water my exact words were no frikin way 😂
It was in good shape to be that old.
chigg: look i found a civil war musket😊
richard: look i found a can🤔
@RichInTheUSA We all know the real treasure is Chigg.
Beautiful scenery, historic mysteries, thunderstorms on the water and a USGS monitoring station! Yeah we're having fun! Thanks for sharing.
Buggy step is a cool find for sure.
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.
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.
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!😁😁😁

Mr Beau is not average bear by any means.. I love watching his channel with my granddaughter.
I love how you just float up and are all like "look a musket" as if it's an everyday thing

Musket! What an awesome thing to find and Chigg's like, oh well, no excitement. I'd be like AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
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
@@hooper4581 I haven't seen them so maybe I should look them up.
AMERICANREBEL ! Absolutely
I know there are some good shots scattered around in a bunch of vids. Guy has museum quality collection
He has actually found treasure so..
@@blushingbunny3074 👍✌
The spring and the cave awesome

Great find, eyeballing that musket. Thanks for sharing.
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 buggy step is awesome. So many cool things to implement that in to show
Nice to see Rich wearing a PFD. Sets a good example for kids. And helps ensure he'll make it home today.
That musket find was fantastic! Glad that it got saved! Thanks for the hunt and H.H.
Awesome video and nice finds. Thank you for sharing with us. Happy Hunting Everyone. Super adventure.
Awww what a good guy. He gave his friend the musket (he prob has a ton of them 😂)

Monsieur Chig finds a whole musket! What a lovely find!! Thanks for the video!!
One of the better video's in most recent times, Thought that the, musket riffle, stirrup wagon pedal and wagon hammer, were pretty cool.,
Omg !!!!! A musket !!!!.how thrilling..from SW Indiana we just don't find those...congratulations Chigg
The "swarm"also happens on fishing trips. Lol. First musket of the year though (unless I missed one somewhere); great find.
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.👍

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!
That musket was in excellent shape! Must have been recently exposed! Rich is the man, MOAR hunting damn the rainstorm 😂😂😂 Thanks👍
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

Well done! I seem to only find bullets.. 😬
Great job as usual......thank you for the entertainment! Onwards and Upwards!!
Beautiful creek. And loved the waterfall

Chigg eyeballs a dang musket. Serious how good is this guy
That little fall is beautiful
Thanks for another great adventure.
Love it. I miss my eastern Pennsy...
That musket...what an amazing find! Hope you can show us what it looks like after some cleanup and preservation
Can't believe the musket was so visible and had not been found yet. Great find Chigg !

That's crazy that it was so close to the bank!!! Guess I gotta start keeping my eyes more open while in the river
That Musket was a brilliant find Beau mate and in amazing condition to 😀👍...good work guys on the hunt

That is a great find! A musket, nice!

That rain didn't bother you one bit sitting there with your musket. Lol. Way to go Chigg.
Such a big adventure I had to cast it to my 60 inch TV today!!
Try VR
Thanks again for an awesome adventure Mr. Chigg!

Awesome Chigg! A civil war musket, just there to eyeball. Congratulations! You be the Man!
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...
What a cool musket. That is really special.
I truly love your videos keep up the good work!!! The best on RUclips.😁😁😁
That was amazing Chigg!
i wish you'd get that underwater stuff out faster. I CANT HOLD MY BREATH THAT LONG!
Only Beau can eye ball a musket while floating along and blow it off like finding a clad.
Congrats on the awesome find!
Incredible find! Plus I like Rich’s shirt.
Amazing find, really happy for you man :)
Hey chig how about you put up some good quality photos of the extra cool stuff like that musket at the end of your videos? Such an awesome find!
Wow! Congrats on the awesome musket eyeball!!!
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.
I can't believe you found a gun. I thought it was a branch or a grass cutting tool. Damn, you have too much fun out there. Great video.
Watching your channel for year and u always come up with something like this rifle for all your hard work from civil war l love it l am Australian we don’t have anything like this l am blown away cheers
