I agree 100 percent. This guy has a matter of fact no BS no arrogance approach to MDing.The stuff he finds interests anyone that likes history, especially Civil War times. Make a damn fine host for a show about this kinda stuff. He taught me to run a MD without me even knowing it.
Good hunting there Beau, Like how you hunt along the rivers ... lot of good stuff I see you're finding. Giving me some great ideas for some rivers in my area . Congrats on the Civil War Bullets .... real nice finds . Good luck next time out there my friend . BILL .
Hi, Love your videos. Keep up the good work! FYI. Those broken horse shoes that you are referring to are acually oxen shoes. They only have one side because oxen have split hooves.
I saw a railroad spike. Actually, I was walking the B&O today. Found three spikes. Didn't go there to hit the railroad. On the other side in the field is a grassy two acres of farmland where they fly...and crash.....RC planes. I found a few parts....mostly small nuts, bolts and a broken prop blade.
8:38 That was used to evenly place coal in the firebox after the fireman shoveled coal into the firebox, so the fire could heat the water evenly and not make hot-spots in the fire.
At 6:25, The metal bolt was used for joint bars on the railroad. Considering how thin it is, it's probably 80-100 years old. Also, I started using your techniques in my own area (Northern Delaware) and found a Ford Model A shifter in a creek next to an abandoned RoW...
I see why you like bridges dating back from 1850s, since any bridge would be a key-stronghold value to defend. So needed a small garrison camp closeby. Explains the trash dump in the river. As maps might not have indications where the camp was. And if a rout happened, fleeing troops would after any battle fling useless weight away. As in all those Hollywood films I saw as a Kid. Alvarzis Kelly, comes to mind. Also Buster Keaton With his big railway gun on a train. Movement by rail freight.
I recycle some iron and brass relics i find. Metal prices are high and large deposits of ore are running out... better for that old scythe, plow, or brass roof flashing to be recycled than rot in the river. Beyond that, I've had a good winter: stoneware ale bottles are jumping out at me for some reason and i got a half gallon clay jug and a stoneware ink bottle, and a blue glass whiskey fifth with a pontil mark. No hutch or bitters yet.
Oh yeah! I just wish we'd had more CW activity here! Bought a cheap kayak and it changed the game for me (bottle huntin' in winter) Thinking about an Ace 250 to play with this summer! : D
I notice you find a ot of old plow points. Take a look at the back of them. Many were made by John deere and Vulcan. 30+ years ago I used to helpy Grandad rebuild horse drawn equipment and he was paying 20.00 a piece for those plow points. some we had to do a little repairs to. And I know John Deere stuff is still pretty collectable.
These are the only things i caught a glimpse at 1:33 Snake or an iron lasso XD 1:35 something redesh 2:17 another trains spike 2:23 Train...uh spike 2:10 somebody said a sword but cant find 1 1:46 Oh shiny coin :D 4:33 A.....Bottle cap?? 2:26 look right or left (kinda East west)
+Beau Ouimette , hey Beau, u don't have to if u don't want to, but u should sell all the old stuff and you'd get good retirement funds u could have a fair bit of money I recommend it:)
It may just be my eyes playing tricks on me, but @ 7:36 directly to the right of your bullet, looks maybe like the bottom of a spencer cartridge or a flat button.
Yes you are right. Just after I sent that comment to you I watched another one of your videos and noticed the break in the shoe. My apologies. Quick question. What information did you gather that interested you in the area that you found all those silver coins?
Looks like some good spots there Beau. Ain't you never heard of "river plowing?" LOL. Nice 2-page spread I saw of you in the magazine. Those detectors looked brand spanking new. Were they yours or just props? Looking forward to more videos from you but you may have to switch to dirt fishing over the winter! HH, Dave.
Good morning. In the last week I have just discovered your video's. Nice job, researching and videoing. Would you mind sharing with us the type of camcorder you use. You might have discussed this earlier but I missed it. Again thanks for sharing your finds. Larry Reynolds
Whereabouts is this place? I ask just because it looks so pretty. Such a nice spot. Such a great hobby for some folks. Fun to watch the videos. Good hunting!
uh, its probably just me but is that a possible edged weapon like a knife, bayonet, or scabbard at 2:17 as soon as you dip the water in the camera in the water? its like center-right of the screen. really obvious looking thing...comes to a point unlike any rocks lying around. just trying to be helpful, im probably wrong.
Just out of curiosity, what part of the country do you hunt primarily? I'm guessing by all the colonial/civil war relics that you're somewhere near the east coast. Maybe VA, NC, or SC?

Glad to see you back in action, I enjoy your videos. Be Safe, Take Care, & most of all, HH my friend
Thanks for another great video---always enjoy them. Looking forward to meeting you Tuesday evening. Joel from Pa.
Its absolutely beautiful under water there!
Nice day,,, good finds...👍👍👍👍
That river hunting looks like a blast.
another good spin with some fine targets.
good luck on your next adventure
well done beau, still some nice finds to be found there by the looks!
happy hunting mate!
Nice to see your back making some videos
Nice finds man! You have me thinking about hunting the stream beds up here come spring. Thanks HH!
Good hunting there Beau,
Like how you hunt along the rivers ... lot of good stuff I see you're finding.
Giving me some great ideas for some rivers in my area .
Congrats on the Civil War Bullets .... real nice finds .
Good luck next time out there my friend .
BILL .
I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!
Nice hunt thanks for posting
looks gold
Probably the cleanest looking river I've seen from any of your videos.
The condition of some of those water sheds is honestly disgraceful.
Very interesting video and you have opened up some places for me to hunt, Thanks.
Great Finds/Adventure Thanks For Sharing =)

Love you videos. Great hunting.
Interesting. I love looking around for treasure here in Arizona.
looks like a great place to find gold.

Alvarzis Kelly, comes to mind.
Also Buster Keaton
With his big railway gun on a train.
Movement by rail freight.
I saw slmething black and shinny on the second time you put the camera down
Great video Beau!!!
I saw a silver dollar looking thing in the first underwater, a gold looking coin in the second, and tools in the third.
I recycle some iron and brass relics i find. Metal prices are high and large deposits of ore are running out... better for that old scythe, plow, or brass roof flashing to be recycled than rot in the river.

Hey Beau,
You find any more plow shears you don't want, save'em for me. I use them down at Union Mills in the forge.
Reb
There's a pretty cool railroad spike on the riverbed I saw. Nothing "good", but something.
You go to pretty cool sites, I'm always envious. Lol.
Nice finds
Oh yeah! I just wish we'd had more CW activity here! Bought a cheap kayak and it changed the game for me (bottle huntin' in winter) Thinking about an Ace 250 to play with this summer! : D
This is me first time watching you awesome video

Old McCormick plow Sheer. The hoe is a firebox coal rake,
Nice location.
Len.
You need a dry suit like the recovery teams wear. Warm as toast year around.
2:17 when you put the camera in the water you can see a railroad spike. possible a couple as you pan threw the water
These are the only things i caught a glimpse at
1:33 Snake or an iron lasso XD
1:35 something redesh 2:17 another trains spike
2:23 Train...uh spike 2:10 somebody said a sword but cant find 1
1:46 Oh shiny coin :D 4:33 A.....Bottle cap??
2:26 look right or left (kinda East west)
+Beau Ouimette , hey Beau, u don't have to if u don't want to, but u should sell all the old stuff and you'd get good retirement funds u could have a fair bit of money I recommend it:)
+Beau Ouimette oh yes good one
I saw two coins when you went under water.
BUEN VIDEO SALUDOS,DESDE ARGENTINA
Railroad spikes is all I seen. And possibly a coin @ 1:46
GL & HH
Those beaver traps should be worth some good money. ! Did you take them back with you ? Good info on what to look for when you water hunt. !
Cool there's a sword blade
yep a coin at 1:46 goes to the top left of the screen when your panning to the right...
have you thought about dredging the spot under the bridge for gold in the cracks of the rocks ?
1:49 looks like a belt buckle kind of mid frame to the bottom left. i know that this is like 4 years old but its an add on site.
It may just be my eyes playing tricks on me, but @ 7:36 directly to the right of your bullet, looks maybe like the bottom of a spencer cartridge or a flat button.
Hey Beau, nice video as always.
Just wondering what kind of camera setup you are using ?
There's loads of barrels of some sort and a pointy rock so I think it's a knife
1:49 it looks like someones old flip phone next to the large rock lol
There were a couple of coins and a pair of handcuffs
Yes you are right. Just after I sent that comment to you I watched another one of your videos and noticed the break in the shoe. My apologies. Quick question. What information did you gather that interested you in the area that you found all those silver coins?
Nice

Again thanks for sharing your finds.
Larry Reynolds
Those look like a Guggenheim scissors
I have not watch all your videos yet but I have been wondering if you have found arrowheads as of yet.
IS THAT OLYMPUS CRAPPIN OUT ON YA ????
saw a coin the second time you put it in time you put it in its right there
1:35 - musket bearing to the left, almost invisible xD
@2:18 pause it and look on the right side about mid way down. What is that? Almost looks like a sword or something. Might be worth a look.
I think I saw a dish or like a bullet shaped object when you did the second under water view
Nice camcorder to go under water...real nice
Thsts cool
Was there an actual Civil War camp nearby? Might be worth your time to go up on trhe banks and hunt around.
Nice video :p
i no im late since this was last year but at 2:29 it looks like all kinds of stuff laying there on that rock
1:33 looks like something round'ish. Maybe large ring type item.
Whereabouts is this place? I ask just because it looks so pretty. Such a nice spot. Such a great hobby for some folks. Fun to watch the videos. Good hunting!
uh, its probably just me but is that a possible edged weapon like a knife, bayonet, or scabbard at 2:17 as soon as you dip the water in the camera in the water? its like center-right of the screen. really obvious looking thing...comes to a point unlike any rocks lying around. just trying to be helpful, im probably wrong.
in the water for the bridge pilar i saw something that looks like a gun barrel
When you first dunked the camera in the water
I concur with a coin @ 1:46 maybe
Have ya had the chance to return to this river to search it?
Just out of curiosity, what part of the country do you hunt primarily? I'm guessing by all the colonial/civil war relics that you're somewhere near the east coast. Maybe VA, NC, or SC?
that copper rod thing is a cannon fuse
This is a great video. How long have you been metal detecting for Civil War relics? Looks like fun.
2:19 a hammer of some sort
At least seen some railroad spikes around 2:17 lol
2:30 possible musket barrel.
What Kind of Video Camera are you using and what kind of Metal Detector?
Thank You , great Videos.. I LOVE History, this makes me want to go get a Metal Detector.
I saw some silver in the lake
1:46 Top center left of flat rock...is that a coin?
Ya, they are worth .15 cents per pound!
1:45 top of flat rock...coin? Do you see it?
At 1:46 there's a coin straight ahead
Hi there i'm interested in metal detecting, and i was wonder is there any good metal detectors under $200?
what are old railroad spikes worth anything??
2:18 Looks like a railroad spike
2:25 - tons of old raid nails
around 2:11 right before you pull the camera up. Might be a coin like what PHXGorilla pointed out
I saw a troll under the biridge dieos porce
have u ever dived in the james river
2:25 looks interesting
1:35 I think I saw a pair of prison shackles.
Handcuffs there are hand cuffs in the water
saw eyeglases
Omg I see
