Another great video Beau! I just upgraded from the Garrett Ace 350 to the Garrett AT PRO as I plan on doing some detecting in rivers and creeks in 2014. I love your videos and learn from them. Thank you for posting and all you do. You are certainly an inspiration to any level of detectorists out there and you compliment this awesome hobby better than anyone. Thank you for all you do and I look forward to the next video!
I think its pretty cool atm that all that junk is in there. While diving you get to see all these other things, keep what you want, and get rid of what you can. So while your doing what you enjoy, your helping out the environment and making it nicer for others who dive there. Nice vid as always.
Towards the end, that yellowish orange thing. I got one of those for Christmas back in the 1970s. It's called a Fishing mate or something. The serrated lower jaw would flip out 180 degrees and scale your fish. It doubled as a sort of wimpy pair of pliers and a hook remover and it had a knife blade and other folding tool blades in the top. LOL. When I saw that I suddenly had a huge stroll down memory lane! I also laughed my butt off! Thanks Beau.
always a nice surprise when there's a new "aquachigger" video -- really enjoy them Beau. I'm constantly amazed at the sheer volume of, well, crap that people just pitch in the water. For that matter, even when I'm detecting in a field or pasture, it is rare that I'm not getting iron signals every few feet. I guess a thousand years of human traffic just leaves a mark! I have buckets and buckets of iron I've pulled out and brought home - -but there's always more!
It really irritates me, when someone has to spout out that you should clean up while you are there, when they should realise that is exactly what you are doing to the best of your ability, considering what you are there for! I must say you handle it well though. Keep up the videos, they are awesome.
Every time you picked up what looked like a coin, I found myself sliding to the edge of my chair to take a better look. Much easier on the system than watching the homeless camp video...where I found myself forgetting to breathe! Very cool of you to take us along on these jaunts.
The banks of the Mississippi up here are filled with old garbage dumps. No telling what's IN the river. Looks like the spot you were looking would make for a whole weekend of fun digging. Besides the coins, those bottles and insulators were pretty cool, not to mention that old parking meter. As usual, Beau, another enjoyable voyage with you, right from my sofa.
My opinion: I really loved this video because it shows how relics and other interesting things can be found without the sometimes prohibitive cost of a waterproof metal detector. I hope you do more of this style hunting! That being said; thanks for ALL your videos! - Steve
Dang it all ta poop! You, "NuggeNoggin" and "Exploring Alabama" LEAVE more stuff behind than I can even hope to FIND! Love your videos so much I even sent a message to Garrett to sponsor you more! Keep it up, Mr. man!
Something different.. That's basically what your videos are all about lol. You're a pioneer. :) Very interesting hunt! certainly has my interest peaked. Good video Beau,
Hey Beau, any detector would go nuts I there but it still looks like a fun place to dive! Maybe some sort of underwater probe? Thanks for posting, it was fun. Carter
Nice find on the Barber Dime. I remember as a kid, I collected old American coins, and always wished I could find/afford one. I have plenty of wartime coins, but not much from the Barber/Morgan eras or before. I think I sold my last Morgan dollar a few years ago. Maybe I'll find some cool stuff like that while I'm metal detecting this summer!
Thanks! If I go to Indiana this summer or later, I might have a better chance of finding older stuff. Probably the oldest stuff I'll find around here will be mid-1800s (Gold Rush era, etc).
Only problem is that anything considered to be of historical significance is illegal to dig here, or at least on state lands. So I'll have to find some private properties to try instead.
Dang Beau, Lovin it! No metal detector to slow you down... just a full out scavenger hunt in the much pile! Seen some really nifty finds laying on the bottom and looks like a lot of fun to snorkel! Thanks for sharing your dive, really enjoyed the vid!
I saw you pick up a pair of old B type dry cell batteries from the vacuum tube era. The carbon core is useful when you need to replace an odd motor brush contact.
Seeing those crawfish you found made me kind of hungry. Sling those in some Zatarain's crab boil... What was that worm, or millipede looking creature on the back of the plastic thing you found? I have a Pluto bottle circa 1910. They were in business from 1891-1971. Uncle Sam shut them down because lithium began to be regulated as a drug in in the '70s and the Pluto Springs in French Lick, Indiana had a lithium content.
Note to self: It doesn't matter how close you get to the screen or which angle you tilt your head, you can't see things any clearer! Thanks for taking us along, loved the insulators! GL&HH
So how old was the trash...relative to the Barber Dime? I hope you do another collection video soon...2013 is coming to a close. I guess once winter hits you will be doing a lot of in house research on this years finds. Always fun watching what you find.
I love your enthusiasm, some of the stuff you throw back might be valuable, like that axe head or things of a similar notion. I collect coins and used to metal detect and antique hunting. I have been disabled for 12 years now and wish I could do half of what you do. Thanks for your video's Sam
Man... that is awesome. I just got in to river snorkeling and it is amazing! I found treasure on my first couple of dives. Treasure being cool looking rocks. It was fun watching!
I LOVE watching these videos, Mr. Ouimette! I've only been watching for a few months and am quite curious what you DO with all your found treasures? I don't know what's valuable and what's not.
Question for ya. Do you ever do a lot of research on the rivers you go to, or just pick at random. Also, have you ever encountered any local laws or ordnance that would prohibit you from doing what you do? Thanks and love the videos!
I just love watching these videos. I'd like to try my hand at snorkeling in the river looking to treasure. You found some cool things today. I really liked the insulators. My Grandfather collected those. :) -Drew
I live along the bank of the Santa Cruz, the only north flowing river in na. It's been dry tho since like 1940 due to a water reclamation project for crops, before they had trash pick up, the people who lived on tucson would just dump their garbage on the riverbank. One of my fav places to relic and bottle dig
Nice work Beau! It would be great if you would describe the camera you're now using. I'm wondering if those "Yabbies" are trainable? My Navy trains Porposes to find explosives underwater; perhaps we can train Yabbies to find silver coins. Just sayin.
Finding little treasures is an awesome feeling!!! I love it. There is something in the top right hand corner of the screen at 4:55 min. It looks like it could be a ring but most likely a pull tab.
Confession... I just watched a couple of your videos. Fascinating hobby.... then I saw the thumbnail for this one and clicked on it 'cause my bain said ... DAMN!!. It's a compliment. You're welcome.
Do you still have the telephone insulators?? Or if you ever found another would someone be able to purchase it? I love all of your videos! So neat, i've always wanted to go treasure hunting.
Beau, This may be a dumb question, but have you ever considered using a small piece of stiff plastic (maybe tied to your wrist) as a fan, instead of your hand? It seems like it might be more efficient and a little safer. Just wondering? Love your videos!

Caught myself reaching out at the computer monitor a couple times. Thanks for taking me along.

DUDE! Youre my favourite youtuber and you deserve more than the support you already have!i wish you luck on your new vids

I really enjoy watching the underwater treasure hunts.Cool Barber.The crawdads have a protector. :)

Have been watching your stuff for awhile now. I enjoy them. Keep up the good work!
Nice video Beau... I noticed you didn't handle that Hellgrammite quite the same as the craw dads... lol!
Dang it all ta poop! You, "NuggeNoggin" and "Exploring Alabama" LEAVE more stuff behind than I can even hope to FIND! Love your videos so much I even sent a message to Garrett to sponsor you more! Keep it up, Mr. man!
At 1:21 is it just me or does that look like the stock of an automatic rifle?..
just you
3:56 man what on earth is that Critter??? Really enjoy these videos man. Thanks for taking the time to make and post them!
Something different.. That's basically what your videos are all about lol. You're a pioneer. :) Very interesting hunt! certainly has my interest peaked. Good video Beau,
Hey Beau, any detector would go nuts I there but it still looks like a fun place to dive! Maybe some sort of underwater probe? Thanks for posting, it was fun. Carter
I love the sounds your camera picks up while under water. Seems like another world. Keep more underwater videos coming. Thanks
I am so fond of watching your videos..You've got one sure subscriber here! I love these type of adventures..Keep it coming Beau! \mm/
FreakDickify You earned a sub too!
Something relaxing about the fanning and the bubble noises.
Nice find on the Barber Dime. I remember as a kid, I collected old American coins, and always wished I could find/afford one.

Kind of a bummer, really.

that was so cool man ...awesome glass ..and sweet silver save . thanks for posting
What camera do you use...?... Very good, clean & clear video!
as usual never a boring moment wit your dives keep up the good work
Good to see you in the water. The rain this year was awful hope next spring will reveal alot of new finds good luck.
Great fun to watch this video!! Thanks for sharing!

Another great video. I enjoy seeing it and not having to get wet myself. Thanks

Thanks for taking us along, loved the insulators!

Better off going back to that river where you found all those silver coins!
I always look for your new videos. Just looks soooooo fun. THANKS
Thanks for taking us along on another adventure. You didn't leave all of that trash in the water, though, did you?!
Thx for another great video :) I love all your video's in the water..with or without the metal detector :)
Wow!! LOL. Name that river the Dump Drop!! Surprised it isn't on a rehab sight listing. Good video. I always like your vids, GL & HH
Man... that is awesome. I just got in to river snorkeling and it is amazing! I found treasure on my first couple of dives. Treasure being cool looking rocks. It was fun watching!
Nice finds.... Good one...👍👍👍👍
This looks so peaceful and exciting at the same time.
Great video! I've done that same fanning technique in Lake Erie on SCUBA. Amazing what can be found between the rocks.
Another great hunt. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing it!
Looks like the kind of stuff I pull out of a location called "cash creek"...tons of junk, but also a bunch of coins and keepers...cool hunt!
I LOVE watching these videos, Mr. Ouimette!
I've only been watching for a few months and am quite curious what you DO with all your found treasures? I don't know what's valuable and what's not.
Awesome barber dime and finds! Looked like you had fun!
Interesting finds Beau, nice Barber.
What do you call the freshwater crayfish? Where I am from in Australia they are yabbies.
GL & HH
Mark
You are the best, you have the best videos! Thanks.
Fun video...nice water clarity and current to take away the stirred up silt.thanks for sharing
Might be some coins in that parking meter. :-D
I know, I was thinking "PLEASE tell me you pulled that meter out of the water!"
I didnt think of that. wouldn't it be cool if there were coins in it?? Beau, you go back some day and grab that!
The spots with parking meters typically have the most coins 😂🙄.
Great vids, keep it up!
I find myself holding my breath every time you do underwater footage. I was blue by the end but loved every minute of it....lol
Wow! Thanks for the info. Interesting critters you folks have up there.
Is that a musket ball at 1:00 to the right of the horse shoe?
HE PICKED UP A LITTLE BABY LOBSTER HAHAHAHA!!!😂😂
That was a crayfish
+Evdoge Shou Streamer lol
That old bottle..Love it!
another great vid.
what video software do you use?
I think those two smaller blue glass things went to the tops of power lines as insulators.
They are quite collectible also.
I enjoyed your video. The Barber Dime ended up with a unique patina, nice. That's the very best place for a parking meter. :)
Where do you put everything when you find things while you're looking for more?
Thank you Beau!
+Beau Ouimette are you willing to sell the ax head?
Question for ya. Do you ever do a lot of research on the rivers you go to, or just pick at random. Also, have you ever encountered any local laws or ordnance that would prohibit you from doing what you do? Thanks and love the videos!
I just love watching these videos. I'd like to try my hand at snorkeling in the river looking to treasure. You found some cool things today. I really liked the insulators. My Grandfather collected those. :) -Drew
I was wondering what those were. Actually after seeing the wrap up I was thinking of the 5 battery looking things.
I live along the bank of the Santa Cruz, the only north flowing river in na. It's been dry tho since like 1940 due to a water reclamation project for crops, before they had trash pick up, the people who lived on tucson would just dump their garbage on the riverbank. One of my fav places to relic and bottle dig
I love all your videos I hope you never stop making them
Nice finds! Love the green soda bottle and barber. Axe and padlock were cool too. HH -Slick
A floating sifter and a scoop of some sort might be interesting to use if the current isn't too swift, or water too deep.
Lol....I think you just like pestering the Mud Bugs! Me too!
You hit the jackpot! I would keep everything I could find. Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
Cool finds. Always enjoy your videos.
Transparent clear water in the river! Very interesting! Almost himself diving with you! How far have to travel from home?
*****
Understood, thank you! GL & HH!
Nice work Beau! It would be great if you would describe the camera you're now using. I'm wondering if those "Yabbies" are trainable? My Navy trains Porposes to find explosives underwater; perhaps we can train Yabbies to find silver coins. Just sayin.
Awesome video! Looks like a lot of fun!
Can you recommend a decent mask to do this type of hunting with? Thanks.
Hi,Isn't a gun handle the black shape at 4:36 ?
Nice hobby btw
I hope people don't dump garbage in rivers anymore.....
Nice video. Are you in a state with Glacial gold. Be interesting if you have gold sitting in those crevices.
were those blue things unfired 12 gage shells
+Aquachigger you misted some stuff you can see it in the background
Finding little treasures is an awesome feeling!!! I love it. There is something in the top right hand corner of the screen at 4:55 min. It looks like it could be a ring but most likely a pull tab.
At first I thought you weren't going to take the bottles or insulators. I love those things. Fun video, thanks for sharing.
Absolutely. Good luck on it.
Wow, no wonder your detector went nuts! Nice stolen parking meter! Great video as always.
Did you check for coins in the parking meter?
Wasn't that a gold ring at 3:15 to the right of your hand?
Confession...
I just watched a couple of your videos. Fascinating hobby.... then I saw the thumbnail for this one and clicked on it 'cause my bain said ... DAMN!!.
It's a compliment.
You're welcome.
Do you still have the telephone insulators?? Or if you ever found another would someone be able to purchase it? I love all of your videos! So neat, i've always wanted to go treasure hunting.
Was there any change in the parking meter?
I really enjoyed this video, I hope you will do more at this location. It's like going on an adventure with you. :)
Awsome bit of fun i must say, ive always fancied doing something like that.
well done mate,
Beau, This may be a dumb question, but have you ever considered using a small piece of stiff plastic (maybe tied to your wrist) as a fan, instead of your hand? It seems like it might be more efficient and a little safer. Just wondering? Love your videos!
As always very enjoyable to watch.
Hi thinking of river detecting what’s best snorkel and wet suit I should get and what’s the outlay approximately cheers
Do you clean up qreeks and rivers as you search them?
I'm just fascinated by what you do! I'm hoping to do the same this summer!
That was a really cool parking meter!!! A keeper!!!
Thanks for sharing this awesome video. You didn't save the parking meter? lol
GOOD VIDEO. CAN'T BELIEVE HOW TRASHY THE RIVER IS. I'M SURPRISED THAT CRAWFISH CAN LIVE IN IT. SOME GOOD FINDS IN ALL THE JUNK.
This is like asmr. I could watch for hours 😎
Nice Video. I am a big insulator collector myself. Have you ever found any threadless type insulators?
I would have loved to find that old parking meter, I hope you kept it.
You would think there would be some arrowheads mixed in?
That's so cool, what river is that?!
Where can I get the long shovel you use in the field s
