  • Join me as I explore a creek in search of American Civil War relics and especially artillery rounds or cannonballs from a battle site that I had researched and wanted to search with a metal detector. I found four on this first day looking for them this year. Included in my finds are two 3 inch Hotchkiss shells, one 2.9 inch and one 3.67 inch Parrott artillery shells. None of them had fuses and are perfectly safe to find and handle.

    Its a brake rotor - a modern one

    • @randomconstructions4513
      @randomconstructions4513 7 лет назад +2

      Relitively modern anyway.

    • @eriksimca9409
      @eriksimca9409 7 лет назад +1

      the whole wheelhub with brakerotor since the wheelstuds are still on there, could probably be from the 90sich since its a vented rotor

      Erik Simca they've been doing vented rotors since the 70's

      Really depends on the term modern. Hub and rotor combos havent been used in about 20 years.

    The round object with holes around the outside is a brake rotor from an automobile, alot of people use them for anchors since they're so heavy and easy to find!

    Hey Beau! I love your videos, I'm confident I have seen 90% of them. I appreciate you sharing your adventures with us! Now, I do have an idea to throw by you, have you considered a camera on the bow of your kayak for when you tow it and dive? I think it would be a cool perspective to view your recovery of these relics, especially in situations where it may be a bit more difficult for you to film such as this one. Thanks mate.

    @colarisaka 7 лет назад +1

    I read that Parrott shells and Hotchkiss shells were very dangerous to advancing infantry if friendly artillery was firing over your head... they shed pieces. The Schenkl shell was preferred for for firing over the heads of friendly infantry because the sabot was made of paper mache.
