  • Mega awesome river metal detecting adventure searching for Civil war relics, coins and other treasure. This was a great but long adventure and I had to drive my boat for several hours in the pitch black downriver without a flashlight. BUT I found Confederate relics!

    Nice video Beau as usual. Always makes my day since for health reasons I can't get out much. I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in may which has matastisized to my hip. But believe it or not , I still metal detect quite a bit for someone who was given 6 months to live. I refused all treatment. Just wanted you to know how your videos are always a joy to watch. I've been following you about a year or so. Enjoy life while you can. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

    Aquaghagger , you know what's really the best about you . you don't just medal detect but you make it an adventure and explain about what you have found . My son and I been watching you for along time . He lives in NY the last ten years so he texts me every night the videos that you post . Sean's been wanting a new medal detector water proof and was just under 600.00 so I decided to buy that for him . he's had it about 3 weeks and has found some really neat things . He's trying to get his wife interested in doing medal detecting . the first one my wife and I gave him around 2 years he has found a ton of old coins and other things . Sean and I watch your show every day . we still live in the North Woods of Wisconsin so are son is about 1200 miles from here .

    The reason for the big holes in the muzzle loader bullets is so the pressure from the burning powder will make the back part of the bullet to spread out and grab the rifling in the barrel. Made them a lot more accurate to.

      If he is in maryland on the potomac river the c and o runs parallel with the river with a toe path in between them which was where the mules would walk that would pull the boats along the canal which was used for transportation during this era because of all the dams and creeks running into the river.

    Quick suggestion for your foggy goggles, a tiny bit of toothpaste and water, wipe over the inside and dry with a cloth, should get a milky powder residue, wipe off to clear and i think its the flouride stops fogging. I use it snorkeling and on the mirror in the bathroom.
    Some nice finds, enjoying the history lesson.👍👍

    That is really cool. I have watched your videos for quite some time but south Arkansas isn't known for much activity. I have been detecting since 89 but what it was known here has been detected for 50 years now. So finding stuff is slim. but I have to wonder how many Indian artifacts do you run across? I would think quite a few arrowheads being rivers were life sustaining to the natives.

    I really enjoy the bits where we hang on and go whizzing up the river on the Pigrig, sorry Chiggrig, ( misheard once and it tickled me) with you. Some of it looks a bit like our river entrances to the sea. I can almost smell the air. And the water. I really enjoy the water hunts. The way the cloud of wafting ground cover clears and......there it is....uncovered after 160years. It amazes me that more of these sites are not protected. I suppose there are so many of them it’s impossible. Or they are just everywhere. The American Civil war was such a sad, tragic war. The more I read, the sadder it makes me. A whole generation of beautiful young men. Just like WWI in Europe. So wasteful. Ah well.

    Thanks for sharing this. I am wondering why shell casings are so rare?
