I'm addicted to your videos, I'm 18 and I would choose to do this any day over any gaming or waste of time

I always get jealous when I see your videos because the places you hunt looks awesome

Спасибо за видео. Приятно посмотреть, когда у тебя за окном уже все замерзло, а тут тепло ;) Thanks.

Hi Beau. Your videos have always been fascinating to watch and you really show enthusiasm and enjoyment in what you do, so thanks for that. Its also an added bonus seeing the geology of where you detect, (Geology graduate here!). Keep up the great work :)

11:15 is definitely a decoy weight. The shank is lead so it can be wrapped around the decoys neck, with the line,for transport. Keeps the lines and weights from becoming a tangled mess in the decoy bag. Nice hunt, yea boy! You're starting to look wooly again!

You are one handsome fellow!! Nice video! I like the history about what u do!!

Thanks for sharing Beau....great hunt, love seeing those civil war relics laying in the water!!...Best of luck and HH

That big lead thing you found is a fishing weight we use them all the time in the uk there's usually a iron loop that goes in the top but with it being lead they come out :)

That was a duck decoy weight that tou pulled up! Love the videos Beau. Neat stuff

The axe head looks like an old Hudson pattern. cool finds!

Water is beautifully clear.

That was fun and spooky at the same time

A lot of us would say "me too" to your remarks,

nice bullet finds beau great looking axe head :-)

As a Brit with next to no knowledge of the US Civil War I am constantly amazed how many civil war bullets there still are on land and in water. The number you find is an obvious testament to your research and skills. Do you know if anybody has ever estimated, using statistical models or the like, how many bullets were fired during the Civil War?

Also, you have to realize that, along with all the actual battles, there were countless minor skirmishes, and times when people shot first and asked questions later. In addition, an army of that size certainly loves fresh meat, so chances are hunting parties were quite common, and probably made up a good quantity of the shots he finds, it would make some level of sense with some of those flattened point blank shots that some idiot may have tried shooting a fish or something, as theres no other reason I can imagine that one would be firing off rounds at point blank.

Love those bullets.

And---Beau u shld contact one of these tv networks and have a program on metal detecting! You'd be perfect!? You are very knowledgeable and smart too!!

Beau you have a bullet dependency addiction. Not that it is a bad thing...just saying. Thanks for the adventure....great fun.

oh no you posted a lot earlier the you were going to lol and i dont know if anyone has told you but the weight thats long with the fishing line is a duck decoy weight nice finds! that 1 flat fired 1 was cool i wish we could hear the story of what happened! never know could have been a gunfight up stream and that 1 washed down after a guy took a hit at point blank! sad but weirdly cool!!!! guess the history of the area really would tell the story i like history stories! HH....GL

the shape lets the decoys drift but not float away guess you could use them as fishing weights as well if the speed of the water is high enough

Beau, where is the best place to get relic displays? Or make them. I am not displaying CW relics although some are of that period. Bits n' pieces of an old home site. Your videos got me hook, line and sinker!

Great hunt loved the video HH

thanks for info

That big one was from when they were hunting elephants during the civil war. They didn't see too many.

Nice Bullets!

the long lead thingy is a decoy weight for duck hunting.

awesome video

Almost shaped like a trade axe. Good fun hunt and nice conditions. I like finding the flattened bullets. They display well and show the power of impact. Question. I need some water head phones for the atpro. Do you use the Garrett ones and are they as comfortable on land. They have such a weird plug in! Thanks for sharing the hunt. HH TnMtns

Yea That big bullet is from a blunderbuss i think 😃😜 lol

What would say is the avg, depth of water you hunt in is in those creeks? If you don't mind me asking. As always a great video!

Interesting video. Why is there so many bullets in the river????. Quality video as normal. Cheers Dave

Bullet gotta go somewhere right?

Beau do you still like the Grey Ghost Amphibian? I understand the jack. Looking for a Black Friday deal! haha

Would love to see that axe head cleaned up!

Hi Beau, I have a question. If the round ball that you found on this hunt was made of pewter, would that explain why it felt so light?

Might not that 'mystery slug' be an early attempt at a rifled slug for a shotgun?

***** Well, they were using 8 gauges, and even larger, back in the 19th century, so I still think it's moot.

Looks like a bullet from one of the "elephant guns" they make ridiculously large rounds for hunting big game in Africa probably late 1890's or 1910's

I would take a guess and say that giant bullet was out of a Hotchkiss maybe?

Could that large bullet shaped object be from a 1pdr. Williams Gun? It used a 1.57 caliber round. I have seen the gun but not the ammo.

is that a mini round ball at 1:26 in the video? like just north of where you found the minie ball?

what kind of camera our you using to film in and out of water

That big bullet thingee looks very interesting. Sure looks like rifling from here. Let us know what you find out about it.

What camera do you use?

Nice.

Could that big one be a sort of shotgun slug Beau? That was the first thing I thought anyway.

Looks like a decoy weight !

It's made that way with the 1/4 round part that what 6 in. Long or so to be flexible to wrap around the keel or head of the decoy!

Other than the decoy weight I have no idea !

How can you find rings ?

That is a duck decoy weight from Walmart

Beau, do you sell the sinkers for scrap? Your finds must weigh in the tons by now! Also what do you do with the hundreds of glasses you find? My wife has had it with all my medal detecting finds! Lol

Can you find all these civil war bullets in the water because the slate keeps them from sinking in the ground? I've just wondered why you can find so many in the rivers....

the wierd thing was for duck decoys i think

Hey Bo, that huge bullet you found in this video that may or may not have been a sinker or bullet? You look for it in Mckee/Masons civil war projectiles? if it existed it'd be in there Im sure

Beau, how did you water proof your pinpointer?

@2:53 is it a plum bob? I mean thats a huge bullet if thats what it is kinda doubt it though

Hey! I just got in to metal detecting and stumbled across your videos. If I may ask, do you metal detect in the northern Virginia area? If so, that's where I am too! (I ask because that looks just like a river near me, the rapidan river). Anyways, good luck to you!

***** Sorry for asking so many questions, but do you think the Bounty Hunter Fast Tracker is suitable for water use like yours? On the box it says "water proof", but i just don't want to risk short circuiting it. I have googled it but i cannot find very much info to it (and it doesn't help that I have terrible google skills). i just wanted to ask you since you know a lot about this stuff :).

***** Okay, thanks so much for your help!

I got permission to metal detect a old Civil war battle field and this time the museum owner told me whatever I find I can keep

Large bullet could possibly be an 8 gauge shotgun slug.

Beau don't you run into snakes occasionally?

Are fired bullets desired by you and collectors over dropped? if so, why? And why would soldiers drop bullets un-fired in a river?

You obviously research the routes armies took during the civil war and likely fording places...right? I mean, every river isnt littered with ditched bullets is it? Even though you probably research well and are searching 'prime' locations it still appears (judging by the amout of unfired bullets you alone recover)that they were very wasteful with their cartridge back then, not so hot at keeping it 'high and dry'.. Maybe, its just the huge size of the armies roaming around the country?.. if every other man has 10% spoilt during fording I guess it adds up quickly I bet when the csa were running short they took care of their ammo though.. In the british army back then, they'd have probably got the lash for letting their cartridge get wet... lol This isjust a really long-winded way of saying.,'damn, you find alot of bullets!'

Yeah, your civil war probably helped our empire building in some way.. either that or lord somebody was a major slave trader.. neither would surprise me..war seems to have been quite a profitable business for the victorian grandees! apparently they took the big armstrong breech loaders off HMS warrior so they could sell them to the confederates.. lol.. british government's always been the don when it comes to duplicity
