You are truly the Bob Ross of metal detecting. Happy little bullets :) .

I like how you bring your viewers into the experience like as if they are right there with you. Neat technique plus you have waaay since lost any shyness on camera. Good man. No wonder your at 3/4 million subs!

I am always amazed when in the rare occasions you find old coins and relics either very shallow or laying right on the surface. It has happened to me several times but the ones that come to mind is a Merc buried less than a inch in front of a park bench, IHP laying right on the surface at a old fairground and a 1909 wheatie I thought was a shallow zinc penny... Crazy

I've found 2 Guilford type points( native american arrowheads/spearheads) old enough they may have been used to hunt mastodon, or mammoths etc. Both "presented themselves" to me right on the surface, at eye level. I'm usually on the edge of the creek, in the water, by the bank watching new washout. Both times, I looked up and each point was straight in front of my face. THOUSANDS or years old, just sitting like they never moved from the day they were dropped, lost etc. 2 different locations as well. My father and I also eyeballed a 12lb solid shot cannon ball and 2 minie balls from a local civil war battle in a crack in some rocks in the river. No dirt covering them at all! Just reached down and picked them right up, lol. Its amazing when you find history so close to the surface. @bonezcustoms on Instagram

Hi Beau, I'm 73 and in bad health but really enjoy your videos .we don't have bedrock down here in louisiana , but enjoy watching you ,I worked on the tennesse river and the cumberland always wanted to check our some of those creeks.Simpson Kemp

Great video and congratulations on the shells. That is the problem I get here trash down 7 feet in the banks and mud bottoms. Very few places were the cobbles or limestone come up. Why I hunt mostly crossings. I am going to try and readjust my hunts on some smaller creeks. You would recognize the name of the creek I mostly hunt. Thanks for sharing. Storms here today. HH and stay safe!

Beau, all I can say is congratulations! You have made some amazing finds over the last couple of awesome videos! Wishing you the Best of Luck!

Mr.Oimette, you are habit forming!

Beau loved the video! Those shells sitting there since the Civil War was surprising. I guess they were hidden in plain sight. You would think some fisherman would have picked them up.

Your hunts are always OUTSTANDING.....up to your discriminator in a muddy creek. The stuff of dreams! Thanks soooooo much.

I always find these kind of videos fascinating. They are amateur archeological digs but the results are amazing. Thanks!

SWEEEEEEEEEET hunt my friend!!!! Just goes to show you that believe it or not there ARE unsearched areas around. What a great day, and if you went anytime in the last week(it was stinking hot up here in gburg), I'm sure it was quite refreshing to be in the water. God bless and keep um coming!

Man you have me fired up to do some civil war relic hunting. I live in SW Missouri. The battle of Carthage was fought not to far from here. That barrel you found looks like an old Stevens 12ga shot gun 1913 pat. date. Love your videos!!!

I can't get enough of this stuff. Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you for taking us with you on your adventures! Always very informative and entertaining.

Man great fiends, I found a percussion cap and part of a shoulder scale this weekend haha.

Starting at 15:00 i believe you may have found an old trappers wrench.Just found your videos last night and really enjoying them.

Great video once again Beau!! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures.

ok I got my magnet and rope. I'm hooked.

You sure have trained eyes! But I'm trying. Thanks for taking us along!

“Let’s go underwater” proceeds to take a deep breath. 😂 love your videos can’t wait to go out and find creeks to swing here in NW PA

Very nice hunt congrats on the 3 shells really nice, have an amazing day Karla

Great hunt Beau!! I always look forward to your videos...

Nice finds! Great video!

AMAZING!!!! as always!!

Very nice vid Beau, it amazes me when you find hem shells laying right out in the open like that! What a killer season you are having. Aug. and September have been very good to you!

Good video as always Beau. Good finds.

Hi Beau, Great finds!!! nice video..cheers,G:)

Great Hunt!

dear beau I just wanna say thank you.. you are the one that got me into water detecting. I am your biggest fan lol I can watch your videos over and over and they never get old not only do you show some really cool relics but you also show the beauty of the land and I have learned a lot of things from you from how to dig what to use and just the fun of metal detecting. so thank you again and if you ever want to adopt I am 27 so I come ready to go no need for the taking care of part lol. I really would love to get the chance to meet you and detect with you one day.. although I have found nothing near what you find and I just got into detecting 3 years ago but watching your videos are awesome and really educational. ohh and by the way I don't live to far from you lol. no im not stalking you I work with an older guy named bill sorry don't know his last name but he said he has detected with you in the past once or twice he said his friend mike knows you pretty well.. well take care and good luck happy hunting.

Seriously cool finds beau

great video and finds Beau you certainly know what you are doing look forward to the next one HH and best wishes,,,pat

I just started watching your videos. Very entertaining! Finding those civil war ammunition shells was very cool. Just amazing you found them just laying around like someone put them there.

Congrats, great video!

I really enjoy these water hunts you do. I bet not many people think to hunt in the water.

great finds again beau nice shells mate :-)

Good day for you my friend, happy for you, 👍👍👍👍👍👍

great video great finds makes a fantastic through out

Thanks for the video

Great video and Awesome finds,

I look forward to seeing your collection again soon :-)

Awesome video man...=) Take care and keep hunting..

Great video cool finds!

Nice hunt Beau!

Oops. Sorry spoke too soon. Got a glimpse right at the end. Made my day hahaha. Love your videos man. Still have your electrolosis vid in my mind when you were cleaning and coating with wax or some such thing. Must watch it again. Cheers on a great hunt.

thanks buddy! like the vids! i live in fl. near the st. johns river, i found a single shot rifle of large cal. hard to i.d. it, while pulling in my anchor! old as hell ,so i saved it!

Nice shell..been sitting there for 152or so years .. amazing..you have good research and hunt skills that's where I lack..I go to get what guys miss.

Nice hunt, I agree with what you said about blazing your own trail. Never have I tore it up on a camp someone told me about. Camps I researched on my own however....

Those shells are to die for!

You should test out underwater flashlights. That would be interesting.

Really nice video beau:)

+Brendan Bullock It is in the Sinkers video @9:28 mark. Beau says its weird as it's "ringing up high, like a coin". Seems like his VDI was reading 81 and higher. It's laying there, waiting....Beau knows he can get it but he's just toying with me and all the others who want to see the gold coin that's under that rock.....more prozac please..... W.

I think I am addicted to your videos😂😂👍🏻

Excellent day.

diggin history, nothing better

Great video :-D

Nice finds - love the under water videos - Sisters History Detectorists

You find bullets like I find nails and pop tabs. I’m new to this tho so hopefully soon I’ll find something cool

GOOD ONE SIR

LOL at gold tooth!

My Daughter lives in a 1740's house and I live in a 1790's house. Both in New Hampshire . I think I should buy a metal detector !!!!!!

If you do detect, film and post it for sure! @bonezcustoms on Instagram Jimmy Brown

So happy I saw this in my sub box

love your vids

Great video as always gotta love them bullets and shells and guns. I have some buttons that have been in the water/mud for over 150 years but I can't get them clean enough to make anything out. So I keep searching for a good one to help date the area I'm searching.

Hey Beau great video as usual, an I know the cloudiness of the water isn't that great for videos, but it is actually more authentic so newer people that get into the hobby know that not every day out on the water is going to be clear and you can see the bottom. I think we need to see that sometimes, but don't do it too often LOL. Once again Beau you are an inspiration and you and the 2 nuts from New England (Bill and HH, Dig Fellas) got me re-interested in the hobby thanks again.

I missed these sort of videos so much! Oh wow I thought this was new video lol

Dang Chigg, I about drown. ...forgot to hold my breath.

That mule shoe is awsome.i love the small shoes..I collect the ones I find I love em I've only found six shoes ever

slash is a real choad......these videos rock

Congrats on the Artillery Shell & Bullets!! I was hoping you were going to pull out that old beaver tail can that was sitting just above the old tire. W. Ps. On medication waiting now... for you to return and blast that damned gold coin under that little river rock....LOL!!!

love it! you get so lucky with those shells too! how many did that put you up to for the season? wish i lived in a place that has sites like that.i'll be putting my order in this week for my new metal detector and let me tell you i am so excited! my boyfriends family owns some land that has an old wagon trail through it... even if all i find is horse tack and wagon parts i'll be a happy camper. love you video's beau, can't wait for the next one!

I like ur videos !!!!

Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota

Lucky? ..... "Chance favors the prepared"

Beau, the reason that sinker had China on it was because the gov't forced the closure of the last lead smelting plant in the US. Now we only have secondary smelters operating where they recycle lead from batteries etc. Really ironic that the gov't said we're doing it too "dirty" here, and now we're getting anything lead from the world's worst violator for pollution. ; )

@tylerbuchholz3234

That's a possibility, but I doubt that they stamped china into every mold cavity. Most of the molds I've seen are for multiple sinkers for each pour. Guess it could be just a single mold though. Thanks for all you do, I'm now on my 3rd pass through all your videos and learning more each time. ; )

man i thought that snapper was gonna get ya for a minute lol

Been watching your stuff for years, Chigg and I always come back to re-watch your vids. Maybe I’m seeing things but at 7:51 in the vid right after to take your finger to get that lead sinker, there appears to be a bullet behind it. Maybe it’s the bedrock though... but it sure looks liked the rings on a Minié Ball.

Request; Could you do a video where you have a piece of gold, silver, lead, iron, tin, aluminumumnuinim, pewter, etc so the uninitiated (like me) can hear the differences that you've come to recognize between metals?

18.54 seen alot of brass staples on phone poles. They used them for the ground wire. Now I am talking about when telegraph/phone lines had the collectable colored glass insulators.

I watched the video of you knocking the worst of the caked on crust from some shells you found. Any time frame on when you show what they look like after the electrolysis? Great finds again on this video! It is mighty amazing those shells have lain there in the creek (river?) for all these years, and so close to civilization. Even the folks that owned that land should have had family legends about the 'battle' that raged on their land during the Civil War! Great job,sir!

You should do a video tour of the stuff you found through out the summer and fall. It would be epic I love watching you find the things you dig up. My uncle is taking me to a park where they trained ww2 soilders and it also used to be a camp site he found a German madalian when he younger. So I can't wait to go. So keep up on the videos and may by if I find something interesting I do a video response I have a bounty hunter tracker iv.

nice video

You have probably the best detecting videos online; love to watch them. However, those artillery shells, even though you say they've been fired, they don't seem to have exploded! Is there any chance that one of them might still be volatile?

Beau, I just discovered your channel. I have never done any metal detecting and never really even thought about it before seeing your videos. You have thrown me into motion though! I am trying to figure out a good setup for a beginner. Something that isn't over complicated, but also won't miss a lot of stuff in the ground. Do you have any good resources I could read over what machine would work best for me? I have a ton of rivers by me where I could find hopefully some stuff people have lost ( I live in the Pacific Northwest so only real relics would be Native American ones). You have a great personality for a youtube channel. I can see why you have so many followers. Your commentary is hilarious and I love that you apologize for things that are completely out of your control (for instance in this video you apologize for the wind noise). Keep it up, you are by far one of my favorite new youtube channels I have discovered!

Thanks Beau! Sorry for my delayed response. I think I have honestly watched 90% of your videos. You really have a great personality for this. Half the time I don't even watch the video, I just listen to what you say while I work. I will definitely have to check out the areas around here. Hopefully will get a Garrett here soon! Keep searching for those relics!

yes

A small polarizing filter on the camera lens would cut out reflections from the water.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi mr beau thats the same as over here in the uk we have coal in the ground here and we have the coalmines already yet its still cheaper to get it from abroad than it is to dig it out here it dont bare thinkin about does it lol

i hope you dont mind but i got the guys at the VA watching your channel while we are in the waiting room in fact the other day when i showed up 2 out of 3 monitors playing your channel it was cool 2 different shows playing same time
