- In this video I show how I boil my cannonballs in wax. This is the same method that I use in preserving all of my found iron. I give some excellent tips and some dire warnings. I hope you enjoy!

You're the only dude who I'll ever watch waxing his balls. Fair play to you!
Clever
+Harry Ireland lmaooo
Neato. Way better than anything on TV, learned more here too. Thanks for these videos. Appreciated!
Thanks for this vid, Aquachigger! You have probably mentioned in previous posts that it is important to not heat the wax too much so as not to reach the wax's flashpoint, but for those who haven't seen them, be careful to NOT heat the wax above 300 degrees(F)!!!! The flashpoint (at which the wax will ignite) varies depending on what type it is, but 300 should be safe for most. Thanks again, love your vids Beau (from a candlemaker who is just starting metal detecting).
Thanks for the video Beau. You have a way of transporting your viewers back to the civil war. I can almost hear the cannon and rifle fire while watching your videos. Like you said I can smell the tar of the exploding rounds. Those guys who fought then would never have imagined that the war would be brought back to life and relived this way. Thanks for all you do to let us appreciate those times and not to forget....
Hi Beau. I found this video to be informative, and even a touch relaxing. You do a really good job with your content. I always look forward to tuning in to see what adventures you go on next. Spring weather will soon be here. Take care, and keep the adventures coming.
When are you going to Europe?!!!! Deep Digger Dan spilled the beans and I am sooooo excited to see the videos from your trip!
+downtonviewer I cant wait to see there Vids..
Very interesting big thanks
Very educational! Nice to see history being saved like this!!
I'm relatively new to your channel, and it amazes me that you can keep putting out videos like this that show me stuff I've never seen before, and on top of that you break it down and explain everything. Very interesting stuff!
Very interesting. What a collection. Very neat process.
You're videos are so relaxing. It's like This Old House, but instead This Old Treasure this is episode Waxing Balls. Also includes episodes is this a body, hobo camps, and Aborted Baby Forest Dump. Seriously love this channel!
Your*
Beau, Thanks for doing this for us new people! I'll try to find the original vids you posted on the subject. Really interesting. Learned a lot.
Thanks, Beau love seeing all that history laying there.
Great insturctional video Beau!👍
"They are really hot to touch right know" - doesn't stop touching them :D
“Waxing Balls”! 💕😂🤣😂🤣💕 Sorry I have a dirty mind! 😜
LIGHTNING MC QUEEN THATS THE VOICE YOU REMIND ME OF
Love the videos. Looks like you, Chill Bill and Deep Digger Dan had a ball...I'm so jealous! I started watching Dans' videos, and then it snowballed in to everyone else's videos. I just started detecting about 2 years ago, but have had to put it on hold for physical reasons. So, I live vicariously through you guys. You have the perfect spot...again, so jealous! Keep the videos coming, so I don't go out of my mind up in Massachusetts.
So informative, another great video.
Thanks! I never would have known about waxing balls until I watched this! Always something to learn and maybe someday you can teach me how you take care of long weapons too!
@TomFromMN Once again, you're the man! Thanks for your support!
I'd love to see more prepping shells and other stuff for display.
I think nobody ever looked at a blob of antique tar and went "isn't that beeeeeeeeeautiful?" :P
love your hammer I have one just like it I made in high school 1976 . finely got out last weekend for my first hunt of the year. hope to see some new river videos soon when the water warms up.
Love ur enthusiasm I love history
Another awesome video. Can't wait to see the ones with Deep Digger Dan, the two Kings of metal Detecting, together.............That's pay-per-view quality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its a good thing you don't have close neighbors. They be like what is he cooking. Yea cool video
Love watching the process, Thanks Chigg.
hmmm aquachigger... the title of this video could be misleading lolol
+Grommy Lommy LMFAO
Good work Beau!
I always learn something when I watch your videos. Kev
pure art, when the shine comes out it shines through the ages,
...
also i could imagine hot cacao and chocolate going on there....(was hungry)
In the next video if you could also show the cleaning of the shells that would be awesome! Thanks Chigg!
Here's what I do to stop oxidation but retain patina: heat the objects in a toaster oven until you're sure they're purged of water. Let them cool off just until they're warm enough to handle. Dunk them in Gardz (an almost clear acrylic drywall sealer by Zinsser). Soak for a minute or so & blot with a towel to recover the original finish. After drying, there's no residue and the object is sealed. An old painter's trick...
Beau you should do some more river hunting videos, or magnet fishing, or metal detecting in water... Those videos are really entertaining, you deserve more subs :D
+Caleb Ashenbrener Cool video by the way
Aquachigger's house of Wax!
Great Video Beau!!
1 million subscribers! Woo!!
i like these kind of videos along with all of yours
Interesting video Beau.
Fantastic video!
Great video ... Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Beau...Thanks for the in depth repeat of the cooking process. If I could offer one bit of advise that I also adhere to, (I mess around with wax, cooking oil, and sometimes molten lead),...please wear some eye protection, very important. Too bad you can't have a contest of some sort to give away some small test pieces of pitch/resin so we can light it at home to smell what it smelled like during war times. Or else I have to find my own shell...
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I did laugh at the title though 😂
+TheDragonslayer78 It's not the first time Beau showed us how he cleans his big balls.
Great video Beau
I love learning this stuff. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You ever make a video of drilling into shells? I'd love to see that.
I used to do the same thing with my traps great video
you should make a video on how to drill out Civil War artillery shells
When are you gonne do a tour of your relic room :D
Never
Really Cool Vid Aqua I Hope you make more!!...
I can't help but think if you could pull a vacuum on your pot you could force the wax into any voids in the iron and do it at a lower temp. Just a thought.
Good job with explaining! They're looking much better!
Greetings, Martin
When you were chipping the shell I thought I heard you say, "Maxwell". LOL
+Charles Wilson Peale I heard it too. I'm sure it was a reference to the Beatle's song.
robertintexas Yes, I agree. After all, he did say a silver hammer.
awesome vlog , you would make a great teacher
I've always found these type of videos of yours interesting. Idk, I'm just a sucker for these things. I learn some stuff.
That’s the way tin and other metals in bad lead does when I melt lead. The lead goes to the bottom and the rest floats to the top. I take a old spoon and get it out to.
2.36 100% correct sir.
Funny title. Great info
Thanks for these vids. I find preservation processes very interesting.
Cool little hammer! I believe its got screwdrivers in the handle you just keep twisting it apart and it has a smaller one inside each one like the old nesting dolls
I've been told that the expansion rate from water to steam is 1 t0 17. Steam takes up 17 times more space than liquid water.
Great video Chigg! Working on some axe heads now using your method.
Great video
Wish I could go hunt with you, great looking relics
i love all of your videos man your a very good youtube channel!
Cool vid bud, thanks. I liked the comment "gotta go, the wife's home". Lol, yeah... Only us married guys get it! HH man
very interesting video I had no idea
I thought you were gunna say "mmm smells like ass" 😂
Taylor McCrory ur a pervert... Do I know u
Thanks, now I know how to wax by balls.
Good job, chig. Can't wait to see this summers videos.
I like it.....A lot! Thanks!
you waxed your WHAT. Didn't it hurt. Wow you da man chig
Maybe it did
do you wax yours.:)
Just found this channel today and you seem like a really awesome youtuber
Love your videos
really cool video
Beau makes coffe for everyone :) just kidding , great video.
Can u make a how to preserve cannon ball fragment
Well I figured this would be a neat idea for guys like myself who are interested in oddities from the civil war but, ever though about putting the tar/pitch in small sand viles or a small container of some kind and selling them to a few folks like myself? I like to collect necklaces of different things and I though it would be a neat idea.
Hi beau , just watched your little video from when you came to the uk . You found some nice stuff well done would love to come to Virginia and find some civil war goodies .. Keep up the great videos and good hunting ... Lee
great video thanks
Spot on really enjoyed the video,stuff comes up really good quite surprised 👍
Thanks for the lesson. very interesting.
nice video beau! I nearly have enough money to buy the Garrett AT Pro! !!
Anybody else in love with him? 😍
Very interesting Thank You
Maybe you could use a thin metal rod to ensure the cannonballs stay vertical sticking out the top of the pot?
I can't decide if you would be the fun awesome uncle or the creepy uncle that boils his balls...
Well, growing up in the Piney Woods of Texas with Pine Trees and plenty of oil wells and having done hot Tar roofing I know those smells. Oh, and any walk on a Texas beach in the Summer will net you the Tar stink and it's nasty if you step in it barefooted-never get it off. ;)
Gee Chig, I've never waxed my balls before! LOL!
you can make stone age glue with the tar, some charcoal, and some plant fibers (herbivore feces)! I learned that from SurvivalLily cool stuff
Hey! Me too. I guess we watch the same people
Livi Lou she's really cool. i only recently found out about her.
That tar looks delicious.
GDAY good one I like that very much
Waxing balls. Of course, I snicker at that.
That looks delicious :)
Please do a video of all the Sword and belt plates and cartage box plates you have found over the years. Thanks
I see what you did with the hammer joke ;)
That is so cool. What a collection you have there. What do you do with all of them? Do you just collect them or sell them?
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
very interesting
Love these videos. Can you do another river walk when the leaves come around?
cool video , thanks :)
This guy is weird, i like him
