- Join me as I metal detect and search for treasures in the river using my Garrett AT Max metal detector. I discover many cool Civil War bullets and some that are quite a mystery to me as to how they got deformed in such a weird manner. Do you have any idea how the heck that happened?

You found some double and triple shotted musket rifle loads. Sometimes orders were given on the battlefield for the first loads to be double or triple shot loaded where you load your rifle as normal but drop one or two more mini balls on top of your load with the idea of it becoming a force multiplier like a shot gun effect. The mini balls when fired would squish into the base cavity of the miniball loaded on top of it. When the bullets hit the ground the bullets would squish harder and create that mushrooming. Very cool finds, there was definitely battles at those locations. People were desperate to stay alive.
Not so sure thats accurate...Major pressure spike, not built to launch multiple full size balls.
@@k.w.churchill4397 You should look up double loaded minni. It was a common occurence, especially in the heat of battle. Now that doesn't mean it fired properly, or that it was even done on purpose, but there was definitively ignition. Archeologists found hem often, when excavating heavy battle sites such as Gettysburg, where a few rifles were found double, and even triple loaded. They are found in the Petersburg area, so much so that local relic shops refer to them as "doubles"
Dogmo Satchmo Chigg found a musket barrel with more than 6 mini balls jammed inside. 6 of them were near the front of the barrel and he couldn’t tell how many were near the trigger because the metal was too thick to xray. Definitely more than 6 though. I’ve done some reading and I tend to think this wasn’t done for the shotgun effect but was because the powder would dirty the barrel so much that bullets would be very hard to load. And if it’s hard to load the rounds may not exit either. There are many firsthand accounts of soldiers having to bang their ram rod on a fence or tree just to load it. This was caused by a combination of inaccurate(too large) bullet sizes and dirty weapons. Soldiers were issued 40 rounds at a time. From what I’ve read, the rifle manufacturer suggested the rifle be cleaned twice while shooting that many rounds which is of course ridiculous on the battlefield.
YES A 41 MINUTE VIDEO I COULD WATCH HIM ALL DAY AND NOT GET BORED :)
GLAD YOUR FEELING BETTER, I WAS MISSING YOUR DAILY VIDEOS. STAY WELL AND AS ALWAYS GOOD VIDEO.
This video the last 15 min., of the video was almost mesmerizing , with all that late day sunlight, playing on the water beautiful ! Jack
I think your adventures would be great for children's books because you also point out nature and of course the turtles.
Beau, I'm glad to see you are feeling better.
Haha that horse apple in the thumb nail we would use them to see who could roll them furthest down the road usually an old lady would yell at us for all the horse apples in the street lol
Thank you Chig, you have made my Monday morning much more enjoyable. I've missed your videos (relic hunting videos) I should say. Glad you're feeling better, happy hunting sir!!
Osage orange is another name for the hedge apple. The wood is supposed to be the world's best for archery bows. It was once thought that the apples around buildings would discourage insects.
Not even pneumonia can’t slow you down. 🛶🐢
When I grow up I want to b the Chigg Master. 🤴
Was listening with headphones, found myself actually holding my breath, think I might need help ! Thanks for your time and effort 🐢🐢🐢
Hey Aqua, greetings from Australia. I hope you recovering well from pneumonia.
Glad you're feeling better. I've had pneumonia many times before finding out it was being caused by a tumor in my lung and had to have half my lung removed. Pneumonia is exhausting though so take it easy.
I’ll never get bored with you sharing your hunts, even if they’re all bullets. Thanks again for sharing.
Glad you’re over pneumonia. ✌🏻
Love the long videos!!! We'll short ones also..so keep them all coming
All right, Chigg Heads, time for some learnin'! OK, we all know that plants and animals develop mutually beneficial relationships, right? Mulberry Tree's have a special relationship with birds, who will eat their berries, flying far and wide, pooping out seeds for future trees. An Apple Tree might rely on Deer and Raccoons to disperse it's seed's after eating them. This is called a Symbiotic Relationship. So today, unless they have been intentionally planted by a Landowner or Farmer as a Hedgerow (which is why the Osage Orange Tree, is also called HEDGE Apple, and Bois de Arc or Bodark, for it's bowmaking uses), they are most often found growing along waterways where the currents have distributed the fruits. So why aren't they growing everywhere, and what Animal did the Osage Orange tree develop a Symbiotic Relationship with? The WOOLY MAMMOTH!!! The tree developed fruits with coarse, masty fibers, just the sort of roughage the Mammoth preferred, like Elephants do today. So, in return, the Mammoths would "plant" the seeds in huge piles of dung as they walked, making baby trees all over the land. When the Mammoth's died out, so did the range of the Osage Orange! Mind Blown? Knowledge is Power!!!
GreyWolf Creations wow that was great.
GreyWolf Creations Thank you for that fascinating information I always wondered what would eat that lousy fruit.
While hunting as a lad in southern Kansas, We would see where squirrels had been eating on the hedge apples. My father cut up the fruit and placed the pieces in our basement as it was supposed to keep spiders away. Not sure if it worked or not, but I never saw a spider living on one. Could be a good deterrent for polar bears because I never saw one of those either, lol.
I used to find the Osage Orange fruit along fence rows in middle Tennessee. I haven't seen one, since moving north. Man, do I miss Tennessee.
I haven't heard "Hedge Apple" in a long time either. Man, I miss Tennessee, except for the Dogman creature in Eastern Tennessee. Damned scariest thing you never want to see. Scars the mind/memories there after.
I'm so happy you're feeling better! Pneumonia is serious! Awesome video! Missed you! All the very best to you!
Awesome video as always Beau!..Very strange with that many bullets all difformed about the same way..I first wondered if maybe those bullets got jammed & instead of worming them out,they drove them out..But I can't understand why so many & even the same way 8 miles away at the other location..I can't speak for everyone, but I could watch hours of nothing but Civil War bullet finding myself!..Its Civil War history that is being exposed for the first time since the war..The last person to touch them was a soldier 152-156 years ago!..Amazing!..Your videos are priceless Beau!..Thank you for all that you do!
I'm glad your feeling better chigg. I'm glad your back now, I have missed your videos.
One thing to remember that many of these bullets took the life of another American. It was a very difficult time in American history. Love your videos. Thanks
You know what it appears to me about those weird bullets? It feels like they fires into another bullet. Like a line of them shoves onto another or something like that.
Great video as usual! Nice relics & cute turtles 🐢! HH! ~ Gypsy
People die from not taking pneumonia seriously Chigg, I've known one or two, be careful and visit your doctor early and often!
Great vid, Beau. Hope you remembered your pick and glad you are feeling better. Take care:)
Glad your better. I'm still getting over the same sickness. Can't wait to get out and hunt. Nice bullets beau.
So many bullets this time 👍
We have the Osage Orange trees all over Kentucky. The oranges are good to put in your basement or around your foundations to deter spiders.
Fun adventure Beau! That was funny when I saw the thumbnail. I just make a joke last week in a video, that if one of those landed on my head, you'd know cause I'd never post another video. Haha.
Just watched your new video right before this one.
Beau. Do not stop U Tube. I am 81 years old and love your videos. Been detecting for years and always learn from your videos.
Beau no way stop you tube.
watching from Scotland , when I'm out metal detecting I find alot of musket balls I've found that many I play a game with the kids with them " who can guess how many musket balls are in the box " lol I have 177 of them so far haha
That's cool as heck, its on my list to visit the isles and hunt for anything that's super ancient. Swords armor, Viking hordes, anything thats 1000 years old would be exciting
the funny tip bulets might be a triple load that got fired
James Wollgast I agree I think in the heat of battle they packed barrel with more than one!!
I thought that as well but the mushroomed part of the lead is larger than the bore diameter of the rifle, the deformation had to occur after it left the barrel. Someone mentioned they were fired into the water, I think that makes the most sense. It’s a head scratcher though.
Or it just hit a log and the wood rotted away leaving the bullet.
I'm so glad you commented with this hypothesis. It must have been one heck of a battle, for a Soldier to forget how many rounds he had rammed! Imagine the "kick", when he fired!
Be my guess too, or might be a gun there somewhere too if barrel exploded. I'd keep an eye out for a large iron target.
I did enjoy thank u for everything u do
Hey! Loved seeing the hedge apples. Brought back old memories of when we were kids, we’d wedge them under the tires of the car and watch Daddy try to spin out .
Thanks Aquachigger what an awesome relic hunt 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I don't mind watchin you dig CW bullets all day - yeah its great when you get a mixed assortment of relic but only thing better than watchin you dig bullets would be me digging them - keep it up!
Take care of yourself Chigg!!!
Love the videos man I learned so much from you thanks keep up the greatness.
Very cool finds!
Love the vid Chigg =) Joined Chigg's Army too! Hoooold ur Breeeeath! =D
You have some great videos, thanks for sharing with us!!!
Really enjoyed several of your videos. Great personality
Spider balls (AKA hedge apples) are pretty common in some areas. I have a large male hedge apple hanging partially over my driveway. There are a couple of female hedges within about a 5-minute walk and there are apples everywhere. It's that time of year.
You're the one that got me started detecting. Wached a few of you and then nugget and had to get me a detector
Very good
The hedge apple is actually fruit from a tree/shrub in the mulberry family. It goes be the names osage orange or Bois ‘d Arc (bo dok) tree and the botanical name is maclura pomifera.
Wood is so dense that farmer use branches for fence posts. They will last in the ground as long or longer than treated posts.
Always look forward to new post from you
Take care don't want you to get sick again! Thanks for sharing!
Love the videos have a great adventure 😀😀😀👍
Could the deformed bullet have hit another bullet in the barrel?
Hedge Apple! I remember when I was little (probably about 20 years ago) my sister and I collected a bunch of those in a little wagon, and I never saw them again until your video! :)
Long day but always good to see a video by chiggs
If you ever need someone to hunt bullets with I got your back Chigg!
Brother, you have solved a mystery find that I keep pulling out of the river! The folded-up metal bands used for fishing sinkers. I have found about 20 this summer and had no idea they were fashioned-up sinkers. Thank you for the education! Keep hunting!
Osage Orange wood (hedge apple) is the best wood for making a archery
Bow.
sciwolf359 yes they are
It's also really hard on chainsaw chains. I cut some every year for the fireplace and it burns hot, but quick.
Snarkapotamus it sure is! I always try to have some in winter to burn. Warms the cabin up quickly.
Maclura pomifera, commonly known as the Osage orange, is a small deciduous tree or large shrub, typically growing to 8 to 15 metres (30-50 ft) tall.
Yup, my dad made a bow from the osage orange wood years ago when I was a kid. It was about 40 years ago he made it. I was about 10. He gave it to my husband and he has it displayed in his man cave lol. :-)
omg I've been waiting for your video
Good to see up again.bbg.
Mr. Beau,
I've had pneumonia three times. Haven't had even a cold in 17yrs since taking "Host Defence" by My Community. 100% natural and organic.
Over 1000 year old Oriental remedy. Only at natural food stores, not pharmacy or gnc. Love your videos. Disabled vet. Can't do a lot. Great way to spend my time & learn history too. Best to you and yours.
Looks fun!
take care of yourself ,glad you kicked it, just be careful we need the chigg out there hunting treasure and teaching us all how for a long time.
I have had similar result from a 12 ga. slug going into a moist, dense clay bank. Cheers, Billy in Canada
Don't forget you pick!!!
Fun video! Mr Chig you need to take care of yourself! Get healthier - thanks for braving the fall water.
Oh yeah, the green meanies. LOL
In the midwest, we called them Osage oranges. They are great for keeping spiders away. Put them on small plates in the corners = no spiders in the house.
Love your video's buddy keep them coming! Maybe I will be lucky and run into you sometime as I live in Sharpsburg as well!
Great video. As someone else pointed out the hedge tree with what we call horse apples is an Osage Orange. Some of the finest bow making wood there is. As pointed out Native Americans made their bows from this wood. Thanks for sharing.
19:26 Back in 1998, I had been in the same spot, found two minie balls, and a few bottles. Me luvs bottulz. I had to portage the kayak under the log; a Perception Sierra gets heavy after 10 minutes.
great to see you running the camera while searching and passing over signals that an amateur like me would get hung up on.
Love Your Videos!
Why don't you spray paint you pick handle a neon color easier to find
Thank you for the lesson on the big green things (hedge apples). My son and I were out exploring along the river in Jefferson Co, WV and we found a bunch. Your lesson saved me a long trip on the internet to figure the name of the hedge apples.
Thanks for the videos.
Carl Drumgoole Osage orange it's the proper name
CHAMBEREDin308 thank you for the proper name.
Collecting With Carl no problem the Indians used to travel miles to harvest the wood to make bows it is the cream of the crop for bows
Collecting With Carl as for hedges the saying used to be, horse high and hog thick its was natures fence lol
Thank you so much. I was ready reading about using them as fences. Those things do grow pretty thick.
Feel better soon.
Wish we had turtles in our rivers in the UK, super cool
Moar Bullets...
Then even Moar !! lol
Looks like that mini ball may have perfectly struck a pistol muzzle! Amazing shot couldn't have planned it any better, wow!
Thanks for sharing. Watching several tonite. Tongue in cheek, I think you could take a rorschach test and see civil war stuff in every picture. Seriously you appear very knowledgeable.
Ahh, good old Hedge-Apples! We call the wood "Osage Orange", here in Missouri. :)
I'll have to go into a river that isn't too deep and give it a try! Awesome video! :-)
Hedge apples are the type of wood they make bows out of.
And bulets are kool great video.
You can still hear some of the illness in your voice, probably sensible to stay out of the water until completely well, great video as ever, get well soon.
glad youre feeling better chig!!
you should do a civil war balistics comparison video of your fire bullets.
You found a hedge apple! Osage Orange! We had them everywhere in Kansas.
Watched so many Chigg vids the other night, I dreamt I was metal detecting. :-0
Aquachigger,
After watching you for some time I decided to get a Garrett, Now there is a bit of a story to this so I wont bore with details, so had some workman in the back yard and they dug a big trench, so on, so on, after they left,...I decided some 3 months later to get the Garrett had a play in the back yard AND found a Leatherman super tool, worth about $100.00 bucks, was ssoooooo excited, cleaned it up AANNDD it had the guys name on it, after a phone call to the company he worked for I left my name and number and now I'm waiting for him to call me back, But if I had not got the Garrett I would never had found it, so now because of your influence there is a hard working guy in Townsville here that is going to get his Leatherman back that he most likely thought he would never see again, ( plus I'm now out of pocket a 100 dollars so you can just put the cheque in the mail, LOL ) joking, but its thanks to you I found it, SO you have helped a person in Australia find his lost item, pretty cool don't yu think.
So my friend don't ever think what your doing is not inspiring people to go tressure hunting, I think its great watching you get stuff, so my next stop is the beach.
That's really cool, but if I were you id be looking for gold. Maybe that's not your part of Australia, but I've seen the pictures of huge gold nuggets, some of the biggest in the world if im not mistaken.
Hello The Chig' ! I'm a French fan ! And in my opinion, your stranges bullets was shoot in direction of water. Big Hello from France!
23:22 Amphibian Egg! Awesome
Proper name is Osage Orange. The wood was a favorite of wood workers. The odd shaped bullets look like they hit an animal or human.
Great adventure!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Please don't over do it you sound a bit congested still. Puemonia is a tricky thing even for an active person such as yourself.
NIce video mate.
Watching these videos...part of my childhood is ruined. Growing up...there was a little country store near my grandma's house. The owner would trade you a bag of candy and a Nehi soda for those bullets and any Indian head nickels we found. We thought the bullets were broken chess pieces. Young and naive. XD
Hedge Apples come from the Osage Orange Tree. Handmade archery bows come from Osage Orange. It's an old art of bow making because as you said, they are very strong limbs.
It's turtles all the way down Mr. Aqauchigger.
Chig, Those bullets are have impacted a hard wood, like Oak. I have fired a few Black Powder rifles into Oak and had the same type of impact damage....Might be something to to look into, may have been a type of boat getting fired on up that river.
Its good to watch these while I'm stuck inside with a torn Achilles.
OMG I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS UR SO COOL HOW DID YOU FIND ALL THE STUFF, BTW THX FOR UR VIDEOS!!!
That cartridge case is 7.62x52R. They're fired in the Mosin Nagant and the color suggest it's a surplus round which is commonly available.
I think the fired bullets are awesome.
How fun!
Hi Chigg I suggest that the deformation of the bullets is caused by them being fired and striking flesh and bone, giving them that “ concertinad” appearance. I say this from my years in the Rhodesian bush war
and hunting with soft lead tipped bullets which had a very similar distortion. Anyway that’s my thoughts
Cheers
Bring me! Bring me! : ) Not many Civil war bullets dug here in Oregon.
My two cents on the bullet is that it hits something with medium slash soft density and as it pushed its way through it was deformed and rolled back at the top, maybe you found bullets are actually went through someone or a softwood
I was thinking something ironclad...but with sheets of tin or the like. 'Cause the outside mushroomed, wile the centre mass of the bullet went on to deform/ penetrate the metal. If you look close to where the ' point ' starts, it has a bit of a line.
Civil war soldiers did wear iron breastplates. So maybe those are bullets that hit a breastplate. americanhistory.si.edu/blog/2013/04/failed-objects-bullet-proof-vests-and-design-in-the-american-civil-war.html
