I hope you enjoy this fun metal detection. I find some pretty cool stuff and am ready to head back to this camp for MOAR relics. Please don't forget to like and subscribe. Chigg Here is a link to a video where I talk about these artifacts: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c59kk8RuY9uqk6w.html

Hey there 🙂

I'm giving a thumbs up for the puppy and kitty 👍

A great day for Aquachigger finding civil war relics. This goes to show that good stuff is still out there. You just have to do the research, get permissions and go looking. No one does this better Chigg.

Great video,nice to see some Confederate pieces!

Chigg would be really cool to find someone that collects and actually fires muskets and rifles. Do a demonstration with him showing how the weapons were loaded and fired. That would be a very interesting video I think.

I love Chigg's videos. He's the Champagne of KZread. My favorite. Tannic acid is the active ingredient in the best anti-rust formulations on the maket. Put it on a rusty part and it darkens to a purple black. It's so good at stopping oxidation that they apply it to rusty guard rails in northern states. I bought a can of 3M spray to hit the rust spots on my car to slow it down. 33 bucks a can. I've never seen anything work like it.

I'm glad to see someone else has come to the same conclusion as myself on the theory of "pain bullets!" I've always said that was a myth, and for the same reason you gave. Great video Chig!

Chigg’s so many musket balls and Gardner buttlots. Loved the hammer gun piece and the horse tack buckle. I hope you go back there for more civil war relics.👍👏😀

Fantastic finds Chigg!

I hunted with a round ball and patch with my muzzle loader for years and took a bunch of deer with them.

Duuude, you an mr Gardner had a good day..😉

Awesome bullets Chig. I'm glad you show the junk, I dig alot of junk. Rk.

Squirrels will actually eat the tops of the lead boots on your vent stacks on roofs. Apparently lead doesn't effect certain animals like it does other animals.

That is correct. We sometimes find rodent teeth marks in them as well. Lead tastes sweet.

Nice dig,lots of cool stuff!

I wish I could do this. I would like to metal detect Civil War sites. But with health issues I can't. I visited many battle sites which was very interesting.

Nice Hunt Beau. Was the Gardner bullets made at the Richmond arsenal? Take care my friend.

Nice finds Chigg!

Great hunt Chigg. Always informative watching your videos. Thank you.

i always like watching your videos. not only do I see the great finds ... I also get history information

Fantastic finds. Thanks for sharing.

I wonder if the hammer was from a double barrel gun. It looked like a left hand side hammer

It is. They were common for Confederate Cavalry to carry.

Hello from Arizona, Chigg. Great video and love seeing the relics.

I really enjoyed this video because of how excited you got finding all of those bullets that were dropped. Period maybe in the next video you’ll find gold coins…. we can always dream.

A great Confederate camp . I believe I would go back if possible , I'm thinking emm' Confederate buttons , buckles who knows. Great video Chigg thanks.

Very nice hunt, thanks for sharing. 😎

Gotta love a good lead day Chigg!!!

17:45 that plant your metal detector is resting on is called mullein. You dry it and can use as either a tea or a smoke. Helps naturally pull out the phlegm! FYI (strain the tea cause of the hairs)

You hit the jackpot this time Chigg

Great hunt 👍👍❤️

Small and heavy..keep em coming!

that two ringer gardner would rattle you clat hey chig man hooo weeee

I like the bullets👍👌😊

I so love when you find artifacts of that era < I live in northern MN so won't find any of that cool stuff ,,,

Great day! ♥

I saw an awesome idea the other day and seeing how muddy your hands got in this awesome video made me thik it might work you you as well... Take an empty laundry detergent jug rinse it out pretty good and jut put it in the back of your truck and use it to wash your hands and what not. Wouldn't suggest drinking out of it though

31st like, your metal detecting videos are super cool, chigg

Great finds. I live in Massachusetts so i wouldn't find any of that stuff. Especially in a city or town environment. Thanks for the educational adventure

Hi Your hobby looks like fun. I plan to enjoy it when I retire soon. Maybe the spike you found was for a tent.

great location. what color uniform would you have worn ?

Whooo hooo!

Fresh lead is very soft and easily mailable with a hardness of 1.5 moh's. You can easily scratch lead with a fingernail. That white coating on old lead is Lead dioxide and it has a hardness of between 5 and 6 mohs. Hard enough to break your teeth or your fingernails that have a hardness of 2.5 mohs. Those bullets were much softer when they were new. A person can easily make teeth impressions in pure lead but not lead dioxide.

They poured some of their bullets but most of the time they used the powder to help start a campfire and throw the bullet in the fire.

Hey Chigg

Hello Chigg, with all the Gardner bullets you found in a small area, do you think that might have been a Confederate camp?

I’m sitting here waiting for that talk

Looks like they dropped more bullets than shooting them 😁

Let’s be honest, the real stars of the show are Bobbie Wobbs and Fiona. The Chigg is a runner up.

Excellent

So how much is a dropped Gardner bullet worth in perfect shape and color? Looks like your on a great site looking forward to more thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼

Mr. Chigg, can you tell me what diameter the buck shot are? Are they .32”? I’m asking because I would like to experiment with making some buck and ball cartridges for my Charlaville musket. It’s a .69 caliber.

Aluminium foil, not Civil War era- no, certainly not! In that time, aluminium was worth more than gold!

Farmers let their hogs forage. Pigs would find a mini or round chew on it & splt it out= teeth marks. Or eat something that had a bullet in it. Umm not getting graphic about it.
