    Isn't it awesome to find things just as they were left so long ago in American history! You are the first person to touch those items in 160 years. Looks like a lot was going on in that spot on that last day! Great video.

    Thanks for the mega vid Beau, and the rest of your detecting vids. Much appreciated! Got my 1'st detector (Ace 350) a week ago, and studying up on technique, etc. Ladd, noggin, and others too.
    Watched your shovel vid this morning, and did a trip to Cheapo Depot to grab a few items, including a fiberglass trenching shovel. That is the ticket for sure.
    This is in prep for an out of the blue invite Saturday to poke around a stone cellar hole on private property in the hills of CT while a buddy checks his cameras. I'm jazzed to say the least!

    Been watching your videos over a year now but have not seen all of them....your last video you said one of your older ones talked about Colonial sites and oysters.....it really grabbed my attention because I live in Salisbury, Md and at a few months into detecting last year I literally stumbled across an old homesite with no visible traces that has produced some very old items...not in great numbers and the age has a wide range but at this site I have definately dug oyster shells up and some very deep...I read they were a big deal for food and trading sometimes even for gold in Colonial times....this site has given me an 1899 barber dime, 1857 flying eagle in pretty nice shape, horseshoes and tack and a wicked flatbutton with design that forum guys date 1750's-1770's a small Colonial buckle that they say would date 1720's-1790's the buckle is intact which I am told is rare and no one can nail down what it was...some say childs shoe some say womens hat buckle....not sure sometime soon I will send tou pictures to you Facebook and see what you think...anyway do you know which video you meant with the oysters? Can you provide a link? Keep the great videos coming man, I look forward to them all the time....Stay safe and Happy Hunting!

    Good to see you do a long land-hunt video. Your work ethic is awesome--especially your water videos. Wish I had the stamina you have, but then you're about 25 years younger. Don't hesitate to do longer videos. Even though we aren't seeing all the activity between the holes we do see, we can get a better sense of the flow of your approach to the job at hand. Thanks a lot for your commitment to detecting and your audience. Been hunting for several years, but I always appreciate the teaching! Exanimo

      @@aquachigger I agree; I admire you so much... For your terrific attitude, impressive personal work ethic, and your stellar hunting/detecting ethics. I've watched other hunting/detecting/searching/finding videos, but yours are truly a step above! Except for a few videos on a couple of channels I try to keep up to date on daily and those I watch with my brother when he comes to keep me company (since I'm unable to leave my rooms/bed most of the time), I find myself entranced by your videos and watch them for hours and days on end! 😊😊😊
      In fact, I'm fairly positive that even after I've seen all of your videos, I'll still be happy to watch them again. I really loved this longer video, too, though I understand why you can't make them this long. Also, I must admit that finding you hunting/digging alone in a forest still throws me off a little bit as I watched almost exclusively water videos for the first few days. 😄🤗💜

    You can tumble the coin in a container with walnut hulls which can be bought like at Harbor Freight and many other places. I told you in another video that I use a cement mixer.
    The oil on the shells really polishers stuff up without removing the integrity of the item...

    Beau, once again thanks for dragging us along. Do you suppose one of the Camp Followers had her clothing repair tent set up in the Button area. It's kinda fun to think of what was going during that time period. The impact Bullets don't really fit in with that theory though.

    I put a big salt block out for the deer behind our house and the next day it was gone. Nobody in no way could've known it was there and to get it they would've had to walk through our yard and nobody walks through the yard. I sat the block on a dry spot surrounded by soft dirt, there were no tracks but mine anywhere around, no animal tracks nothing.

  • @heavyduty76
    @heavyduty76 10 років тому

    Love your videos! I think your detector goes nuts because of the field produced by your pin pointer. It may be picking it up through inductance in the cable itself, and may produce the tone without the coil attached to the detector. Just and educated guess. Thanks for looking out for the fox and all the great vids!

  • @rangerstl07
    @rangerstl07 10 років тому

    If you dry that gunpowder out it will burn. Gunpowder doesn't go bad, it just disperses into the soil. They've found gunpowder in shipwrecks that still burned when dried out. In fact, there was an unfortunate CW cannon ball hunter a few years ago in Chester, VA who was killed in his driveway by a shell. He was pretty experienced at dismantling the fuzes from fired "dud" shells, but the one that killed him was a little different... His wife was convinced he disabled the fuze, that there must have been some defect, but it killed him anyway. A 44 lb naval cannon ball...
    Be very, very careful with old shells if you find them and old gunpowder remnants. They can still be viable and explosive after all these years.
    God bless, Beau

    @Hopkinsg1 5 років тому +1

    Awesome video. I can't help but think you found the remains of an officers frock coat. I have one question and one observation for ya. First, What detector are you using? I have an old whites machine but want to upgrade. I live in central Illinois so not many places to hunt civil war relics but coins are fun at an old house site along with buttons. I did find a cavalry staff officers button. Custer time period. Which brings me to my second point. I spent many years in the cavalry. It is pronounced cavalry. 😄 As in 6th Cav. Or a cavalcade of soldiers. Calvary is where Christ was crucified. Awesome vids. Keep them coming. I would love to find a belt plate someday. You have found so many but I bet you still get a thrill knowing it came from a civil war soldiers hand and then to yours when you find it. I like that connection to those people from the past. Thanks.😃😃😃

    Cool video! I'm glad you put the cicada back in his hole, even if they're noisy buggers! The only correction I wish to make is in regards to what you said about the Spencer casing and the calvary. It's cavalry. Calvary is where Jesus was crucified. You wouldn't be the first to mix those up though. :)

    Hey Beau, I live in Western NC. I was wondering if you think there would be a lot of civil war relics in these mountains, like in the Asheville area. I did a little searching, and there was one small skirmish at the French Broad River, but that area is completely industrialized now. Would it be a good idea just to go into the woods here and see what was there?

      Yeah I've read that too. I believe this one was worn by a Yankee soldier because everything I have found at this location is Yankee relics. Plus there were 20,000 Yankee soldiers stationed 3 miles north of this site. Most of our skirmishes took place 20 miles to the west and south of here.

      Flying eagle cents were only minted in 1856,1857, and 1858. 1856 being the most rare year, but any one in good clean condition is a rarity.:)

    How are you fishing 🎣 in that cold 🥶 water 💧? Do you have waterproof gloves ? I usually get my legs and feet wet . And of coarse the hands. I would be freezing

    what a day, flying eagle, buttons, any way to increase your odds of finding a gold coin, or only random luck

    Thanks for responding Beau! Is that the "tough" series camera? How many gigs SD card do you use? Thanks

    I don't understand how you differentiate the high pitch and the low pitch like which one means you are right over the spot and also how do you know whether it's going to be iron or aluminum or silver?
