YES A 41 MINUTE VIDEO I COULD WATCH HIM ALL DAY AND NOT GET BORED :)

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.

Not even pneumonia can’t slow you down. 🛶🐢 When I grow up I want to b the Chigg Master. 🤴

I think your adventures would be great for children's books because you also point out nature and of course the turtles.

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!!!

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.

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.

This video the last 15 min., of the video was almost mesmerizing , with all that late day sunlight, playing on the water beautiful ! Jack

Beau, I'm glad to see you are feeling better.

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!!

GLAD YOUR FEELING BETTER, I WAS MISSING YOUR DAILY VIDEOS. STAY WELL AND AS ALWAYS GOOD VIDEO.

Was listening with headphones, found myself actually holding my breath, think I might need help ! Thanks for your time and effort 🐢🐢🐢

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. ✌🏻

People die from not taking pneumonia seriously Chigg, I've known one or two, be careful and visit your doctor early and often!

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

If you ever need someone to hunt bullets with I got your back Chigg!

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!

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

So many bullets this time 👍

Hey Aqua, greetings from Australia. I hope you recovering well from pneumonia.

Love the long videos!!! We'll short ones also..so keep them all coming

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.

Take care of yourself Chigg!!!

I'm glad your feeling better chigg. I'm glad your back now, I have missed your videos.

Long day but always good to see a video by chiggs

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.

Very good

Thanks Aquachigger what an awesome relic hunt 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I'm so happy you're feeling better! Pneumonia is serious! Awesome video! Missed you! All the very best to you!

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.

Love the videos have a great adventure 😀😀😀👍

Love the videos man I learned so much from you thanks keep up the greatness.

You have some great videos, thanks for sharing with us!!!

Good to see up again.bbg.

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.

Really enjoyed several of your videos. Great personality

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

Glad your better. I'm still getting over the same sickness. Can't wait to get out and hunt. Nice bullets beau.

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.

How fun!

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!

Take care don't want you to get sick again! Thanks for sharing!

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 .

You're the one that got me started detecting. Wached a few of you and then nugget and had to get me a detector

Love Your Videos!

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.

It's turtles all the way down Mr. Aqauchigger.

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.

Could the deformed bullet have hit another bullet in the barrel?

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.

i like turtles

NIce video mate.

Stop assuming we aren't interested in bullets and sunglasses, we enjoy you...thanks for sharing!

My Grandfather was a professor of Chemistry at the University of Alabama. He invented...well...lots of things. One was a natural pesticide spray from the "apples."

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! :)

Its good to watch these while I'm stuck inside with a torn Achilles.

great to see you running the camera while searching and passing over signals that an amateur like me would get hung up on.

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.

Osage Orange is a relic from the ice age when megafauna would eat the fruit and disperse the seeds. In a million years Osage Orange may become be extinct for loss of the giant ground sloth, . mammoth, etc.

Love the vid Chigg =) Joined Chigg's Army too! Hoooold ur Breeeeath! =D

the green meany was the perfect clickbait title, lol. i had to watch

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.

I think the fired bullets are awesome.

Also the wood makes a great fencepost or bow because it naturally resists rot. Some people eat the seeds or use them in homeopathic medicines but the fruit and that slimy film around the seeds are not a good idea to consume. Not even the animals eat the fruit, only the seeds. The unbroken green fruit also contains a natural bug repellent. Take a bag home and put them in your basement. After awhile no more spiders, crickets, etc.

Little did those soldiers know there would be a man standing in the same space 155 years later searching for the bullets they were firing.

Looks like that mini ball may have perfectly struck a pistol muzzle! Amazing shot couldn't have planned it any better, wow!

Ahh, good old Hedge-Apples! We call the wood "Osage Orange", here in Missouri. :)

Osage Orange tree best bow wood natives loved it

Hedge apples are the type of wood they make bows out of. And bulets are kool great video.

I have had similar result from a 12 ga. slug going into a moist, dense clay bank. Cheers, Billy in Canada

enjoyed the video thumbs up gl&hh

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.

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!

glad youre feeling better chig!! you should do a civil war balistics comparison video of your fire bullets.
