Can you do a room tour please? would like to see your collection and hear more about how you made those custom displays.

Very interesting. This is probably one of your best, because it brings everything together.

I know its late but I agree!

Dude, fantastic video. At 35, I've been rather interested in civil war era history and equipment but this is beyond anything I've seen before. I can only imagine the joy of finding stuff like that. Thanks for spending the time to post this, I will most definitely be subscribing.

wow i never knew those fuses were that complex back then .....thanks for the lesson chiggg

Well...That was really exciting for me!

That was very educational. You had my attention so much that I looked and listened instead of looking at all of the relics on the wall. 👍😆

more of this sort of thing please, really interesting

Wow Chigg! Retired armored cavalry officer and I had little understanding of the Civil War artillery. Thanks for the education.

Thank you so much..! Visited Gettysburg today, had a good knowledge of the cannon balls and canisters working. Needed some in depth explanation of the fuses...and you came through with style...

thanks for teaching me something new today and that appears to be a nice collection behind you keep the great videos coming and God bless

A great video explaining the fuses!! One minor nit, Jeff Davis was not Secretary of War (not defense) immediately prior to the war, he was a US Senator for Mississippi and giving speeches against Secession. He became Secretary of war in 1853 under Pierce and did a lot to improve the US Army, increasing its size and replacing the M1842 smooth bore muskets with Rifle-Muskets based on his experiences with rifles in the Mexican war. He returned to the Senate in 1857.

incredible video, good watching and listening too, enjoyed this very much. Thank you very much for sharing this...

it's always a good day when you learn something new !!!....Thanks!!!!

I watch for the entertainment and i like your character. but also i have learned much more about the civil war from your videos than i was ever taught in school , and i just want to say . Thank you . Sincerely . Thank you .

As a US Air Force Weapons Specialist. That was a fascinating video. I thought they were just round balls shot through the air. They were so much more deadly. Thanks for your time and knowledge.

I like his level of shot outness. With the cannonballs n all.

Very swell video. Thank you for all of your time you take for us all. You are very interesting to watch. Keep up the great finds.

the fuse or fuze adaptors you found in the ocean are so clean its amazing!

Very cool, what an impressive collection You have as well as a wealth of knowledge .

Thanks Beau! I really hated history when I was young and in school. But now I find it more interesting I guess a little more hands on or more videos showing things like you do is more exciting than a text book. At least to me.

Was searching for information on engagements a relative participated in and when you came up in the search, knew I had to check out what the chig had to say. Learned about the various fuses he may have handled. Thanks for sharing!

Very interesting topic Beau. I'm glad that you took the time to put the video together. Thanks

You said not exciting? You went over the top with information. Your the best! Very very cool indeed. I would love to hear more.

Interesting video. I'm not even a civil war buff and I still watched until the end. Thanks!

Thank you. Keep doing more of these. Different bullets would be perfect. Thank you

That was a great presentation and very informative great job , I learned quite a bit from your video and now will be looking for this book thanks.

Wow Beau, that is really interesting, fascinating, would love to see more recordings like these too , your a star Beau , mind of information , thanks very much for sharing with us all, really enjoying and appreciated 👍🙂

Wow Beau, great information. I definitely learned a bunch about Civil War fuses. Thanks for making it.

I enjoy all of your videos. However, this was the best yet by far. Fabulous!

Very informative and enjoyable! I would be interested in seeing more videos like this about other relics you find, like other weapons, transportation, food, etc. If you find it interesting I am sure that many others will too. Just keep 'em coming and I will be glued to the computer. Thanks

All I can say is great video very informative kept my interest from start to finish. im definitely going to add it to my favorites and with your permission put a link to it on my facebook page. nice job!

Excellent video. This old redleg (artilleryman) learned a lot about how things worked back in the old days. Super job!

Exciting... maybe not, but it was sure worth every minute. Thanks for sharing this, I learned something today, and for me that's what it's all about.

Thanx for this video. Learned something today. I've been wondering about these things since my visit to Shilo battlefield many years ago.

thank you! excellent video, I finally understand how they work as well as why you find so many that didn't explode!

I second that, the history and technical details are fantastic.

Wow!!! I had no idea about any of this history! Thanks so much for the video Chigg! My hubby was even into it! :-) very cool and informative! Great job!

This is the info that makes hunting complete. The how's and why's of what you find is very interesting to me. Thanks a lot!! Excellent video! PS and thanks for never saying "necxxx"

wow! I was an artillery reenactor and didn't know half of this. very cool video sir and thanks.

Thank you for your helpful videos. I found a friction fuse and not until this video did I know what I had. Thanks

Great video Chig! Pretty much what I thought but it was great to actually fuse pieces for show and tell! Looking forward to you forthcoming digs!

Awesome video! Something I have wondered about for years. Thank you!

Awesome video, very interesting time period. What a very strange war. Thanks for sharing your collection and knowlege!. 😏👍

Very informative...very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to do the vid.

Facinating and well explained. Enjoyed this video, thanks.

Really cool video. Nice info. Thanks Beau!

Very interesting Beau thanks for the video.

very interesting, i never new how the exploding civil war cannon balls worked..enjoyed the video very much.

Is it me or is this the only channel that's worth watching from anyone who does relic hunting and all that cool stuff you rock beau

I love watching your hunts but these videos are incredible too. Thanks for the new brain wrinkle!

Very nice, Beau. Very informative as always:)

great video! i found it fascinating, being an old artillery man myself, i often wondered how those old fuses functioned. i here you will be detecting with one of my favorite "diggers" soon, i can't wait to see you both in action.

that was a very awesome video Enjoyed it very much

Your relic room is Epic!!!!! I just have to say. Also they were really aiming kill each other damn well with those ordinances. The size of the balls inside the shells and bullets themselves. Another awesome video. I can Definitely Chigg it!

Best explanation I’ve ever seen. Excellent.

If you were my history teacher back in the day I would have paid attention, lol. Great video!

I don't know about anyone else but me,I thought it was a very good video. It was informative and entertaining. Thanks for sharing Roy

Thanks. Great history lesson. Awesome finds.

Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Very informative and educational.

Awesome, information and a great history class! Thank you for sharing.

Fascinating! I watched every minute of it!!!

Great explanation! I always wondered if the cannon balls exploded during the Civil War...You elucidate d very well...thank you---

Thanks Chig! I appreciate the history lessons while watching your videos. I really have learned alot and if I can ever afford the hobby, I will dedicate a video to you, Nuggetnoggen, and Deep Digger Dan! Can't wait til you get to England and detect with Dan!

Great presentation. Thanks so much for posting!

Excellent. Imagine some people wanting to suppress the US past, forgetting the classic saying, that those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time

I love watching your videos. I have learned so much from you. I love how you teach. I can't wait to when warms up and you are back out and about. Also looking forward to the Chill Bill, Deep Digger Dan, Aquachigger show that's coming up.

WOW!!!!! That was so interesting. I wondered how a supposedly solid cannon ball could explode like in the movies; now I know

Year ago I saw a documentary on the battle of Gettysburg. It told of how the Confederate artillery barrage was intense but largely ineffective. They gave as example Pickett's charge. An artillery barrage was supposed to suppress the Union artillery crews on Cemetery Ridge. The Confederates used paper fuses that were trimmed to set their timing. The problem they had was the fuses were made by three different factories. There was poor enforcement of standards and the fuses from these factories burned at different rates. The templates to trim the fuses were all the same. Instead of bursting in the air sending shrapnel into the heads of the Union troops one third of the shells burst harmlessly in the air short of the target while another third burrowed into the ground with most of the shrapnel absorbed by the earth.

Enjoyed this very much....great video!

Thanks for the lesson Beau..

Thanks for all the videos!!

Huge fan of your vids i have actully chafed the topic of my vids from music to metel detecting thanks chig way to go on keeping Americas history alive

Very interesting. Thank you!

18:34 I have one of these that I picked up at a Houston gun show about 30 years ago. Mine appears to be an 8 in. shell, but the fuze looks the same.

Good information, thanks Beau.

No doubt you have put up some very interesting videos about your adventures but I must admit I really enjoyed this....never really gave this much thought about the beginning of artillery shells and how they worked and how effective they actually were!! ....thanks for a very interesting look.

Great video as always Beau.

Fantastic video (as always), great information. I wish I was back in VA. so I could try and find some artillery shells. I'm in SE Texas now not to many places to go relic hunting.

Very good video. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks

Very informative. Thanks for sharing

Fantastic Beau, a great lesson. You should go into schools and teach the 'Young uns' about the Civil War, I sure they would enjoy it. Your style is very easy to follow and your enthusiasm is evident, great stuff mate. Keep up the good work, peace out from the UK.

Great Video as always

epic collection behind you.. wow
