Yeah Baby! Five Extraordinary Finds In One Day! | Aquachigger

at a brand new area today and I've been hunting for a while and finding a lot of sinkers and not a lot until right now I had my first civil war relic so I thought we'd go ahead and make a video now I'm wearing my vest because I'm in a tidal area and it's kind of Swift not right here but out just a little bit and as the tide picks up I'm afraid that if I fall in a hole and somehow lose my boat it's gonna go out to sea I've already fallen in one hole and I put it on immediately after that morrow strong strong swimmer anyway so let me go ahead and show you what I found so far a lot of stuff lot of junk but one relic it's nice so this is the first relic that I found and this is the base to a Civil War artillery shell and you see it's got a copper sabot on the bottom which is kind of unusual but not you know not unheard of for sure and that's the first relic just found it these are my other wonderful finds which you can see are just a bunch of sinkers now I've been here for like an hour and that's the first thing I'm trying to work out as far as I can and then back to shore and that's why I have this thing on and if for some reason I find a little bit more we can dive here but we're just kind of looking today to see if it's worth coming back to we'll know soon enough hang with me so I didn't find anything else in that deep area over there so I kind of moved to a slightly different location where I can walk and the water is actually a little more clear here which is nice and not near as deep and it's fairly hard bottom now I'm working my way up along through here I think the tides still going out I hope and I've got a decent signal here sounded really good but you know I just figured it was a piece of iron because I really haven't done dug anything since that last shell fragment about an hour ago or do you see something in the middle of the screen oh yeah that is an artillery shell I've already partially dug it but I have not lifted it up yet I can tell that it's a Schinkel show from the American Civil War or I look at it underwater I wish I could be I don't have my mask on me it's and the boat has way too far away all right let's go under you take a quick peek it's not very deep it's really kind of hard to get a decent shard of that but I can get a decent shot of this that's a beauty right there nice look at the fuse on the top it's got a lot of writing on it okay let me hold it up for you there it will say something something shankel and the patent date but I can't read it if you look at the fuse thing in the middle that's turned a certain way that's how you either arm or disarm that particular type of fuse that's pretty cool in it unfortunately a saltwater so it's gonna have to go into a saltwater bath for a long time Big Show's can take a year that's what I might want to take a few months that's a beauty that's gonna turn out nice I can't remember if this is number eight or ten for the year I've lost track already I just don't have much of a brain anymore but it's a nice one I know that much now hope you enjoyed it we're gonna find some more right here maybe a hundred of them and you never know that's the beauty of it let's keep looking around so I have another nice iron signal here sounds a lot like that Schinkel unfortunately the waters quite muddy as you can see and so you can find it again if there might be the boat there it is okay yeah that's nice and solid now I want to warn you guys that I have been finding a lot of other iron in a lot so I have my foot about where that signal was now I'm gonna do take the magnet a little bit don't believe we'll find it there is wherever is a magnet stuck to it pretty oh yes it feels like another artillery shell will has a right wait wait wait wait right wait are you ready I have no idea other than I think is another artillery shell look at that that's a beauty right there look at that thing that is a Hotchkiss that's a Hotchkiss show hasn't been fired as a beautiful that the pre the plain grooves engraved and on it wow that's a beauty let me put the Cantwell or on a second I have to take a closer look at this baby look at dad oh that's a beauty right there that letters gorgeous I can't understand why it's kind of whitish though that's heavy a sack a shot too nice I like that and you know what that's like the second shell in about five minutes so this place could be paid with our children shows oh this is awesome well let's get back to work before the tide gets in because I'm it would be probably over my head right here when it comes in I think it should be coming in pretty soon so boy oh boy oh boy two artillery shells in five minutes boy problem when you're digging artillery shells and I dig artillery shells I don't even want to dig the bullet signals anymore and I almost want to skip over the plate signals cuz they can be cans but that's good that's our of the two in five minutes I could have another great single here a little bit deeper water I saw it signal nice and solid greeting about that's that's 15 but they you're a little a little higher than that earlier that's 50 it could very well be a shell in fact I'm like about 70 percent sure on this one get my magnet set up on the boat you ready set the machine to the side okay here we go i mucked up the water since I've been walking around so much out here so we're not gonna go under we're just gonna find it with a madman we should nice hard bottom unfortunately the metal detector keeps soaking in there I guess it's attracted to it too it wants it I can't find it all right I could have some rocks on it all right that's a try that metal detector again that's where it floated right back over top of it yeah all right yep nose over to the side how was it on it all right this should have it should be right in front of my foot not there not there it could have rocks on it often happens it could be a ball of aluminum foil to it sound just like shows which is really weird but yeah I don't feel it see what a nightmare this anything looks like he came up my boat I hope that's not what we're here and I went ahead and put that in a goodie bag and ya know could be a shell but it might just be more of these things in fact that I'm not catching it with a magnet railway is making me nervous all right I'm gonna have thought there it is it's definitely not enough eggs it's gotta be shell come on baby get some rocks on it that's what the problem is I've done I'm on very it uncovered that's that great do it yeah sorry about that beeping noise incessant beeping basically what I have is my I can feel the top of the magnets on the very top where the rest of it is a down in the rock so it's been a cemented in place if it's aren't you no matter you know if it's artillery shell button this is posing it is at this point there's like a beaver on the show over there all right let's try this oh here it comes here oh yeah good wait it's a nice solid weight on are you ready hey it's 3:00 in about what 10 minutes that's a beauty we might be in a honey hole I'm so happy unfortunately taze my last day on the road I've been out for about three or four days did a solar eclipse hunt they did find some stuff during a solar eclipse but I guess the best stuff was waiting for today but I'll quit talking let's get back to our bet another orange ha'la'tha was indecent but I had another iron signal it wasn't artillery shelling so I didn't get the jammer oh you know what that is that's an anchor or the rope attached hopefully it's not a boat on the other end and a couple really decent signals not quite plate like button you know like belt buckle like but if I do get warned of those I think I'll go under and explore we need to come back their boat it's tethered to me so have another decent signal here I'm actually a good wage from where I found those three year didn't find any more there no I'm only working the deepest water like up to here and I'm gonna work my way in as a tide coming but well let's help oh let's listen to this together alright this is I did find a couple other pieces iron that we're junky I could tell they were junked by the sound no but you never know if they're being bayonets okay so this is pretty solid in it listen I saw it as I'd like I think it's the same signal I heard IP a couple of different signals there that could be a show quite likely in fact you know here you all right should be right down how about where my foot is I'm going to try to put the machine to the side so quick beeping so we got nope that's not a show what is it that is have no idea what is that hmm not sure I think it's pretty old at first I thought it might be part of a gun but it obviously isn't some type of little thing on the end there probably wrought iron could be off a ship or something I guess that's almost like a spike but not really that's part of what we heard but there might be something else there I'll throw this in a boat check the hole if there's something else in there sounds like I'll get the camera back out otherwise I'm gonna put the camera back up on top of the boat well I'm sorry I didn't include you guys in on this but I got a couple more pieces iron next to that spike I'm stepping on my loot good push it to the side excess like that we're kind of junky and got a decent signal I went ahead and grabbed it with a magnet they can get the camera out but I got it out for you now pretty sure this is number four and it's a heavy well I don't know exactly what it is but it's heavy probably 20 pounder I guess you're ready like it I'm gonna go ahead and just throw it in the boat real quick because there might be some more signals in this area and I don't want to lose it so I'll show it to you knowing the wrap-up have another really nice signal here sounds show but don't know if it is because I just dug one of these about two feet away do you know what this is that is the leg probably offer something like a stove or something really heavy they would have been you know that's how it works at just like that but any huge building suspense great signal is nice and solid I almost see it in here now int you somewhere I don't figure here there's no hot with the wind now I can't hear that can you put in your beautiful signal right there so I'm just gonna grab the magnet over wander let's see what we can grab hopefully it's not going to be the rest of the stove yeah we were lucky there in it very monkey up there we are no it's not a show like I would say that is likely just a piece of pipe you notice that there is no taper to it his same size all the way across that's unfortunate I'm gonna go ahead look at this crumbling away that's why you need you know we leave these things in the water much longer a lot of this stuff is not gonna be around so that's a shame in it well it's just a piece of pipe but it with mustard breath I lost my boat it's told us in the boat get back to work I'm trying to dig some other signal besides iron and this is what I just found good thing I have cut proof gloves on the hand that I dig with although I seem to have holes in the fingers now what yeah you got to be really careful when you're digging in the water especially because there's a lot of this stuff out there alright and haven't found any shells now for what the last 40 minutes still work in the same general area just you know I haven't given up yet though still find in irons we'll find another heart I had another one and then I thought it was a big piece of pig iron but now I have no idea you see he's got a couple holes in it so it's not pig iron it's probably something for a ship I would guess oh I have no idea hey it's heavy ah man no more shells I'm not complaining if we don't find another one today I'm maka for this year I'm not complaining but I think we'll find some more if we get back at it and I quit yapping but just dug a nice draw mini ball so it's nice to know that this stuff is in here too I'm not gonna pay too much attention to these signals today we'll definitely come back and get them but I want to concentrate on the big iron I know you do too let's skip just keeping it real yo and another decent signal here hoping this our Tillery shell number 5 of course it's too cloudy to see so not going under [Music] not a pretty consistent number on it that worries me a little bit maybe there's a whole bunch of them down there deck boats floating away the wind's really picking up metal detector out of the way so it's not beating like crazy all the time it sounds pretty good I'm hopeful thready there was a pic now I think it's now it's like a cable or something maybe it's a musket oh he's a piece of pipe what do you think now that is a fence post that's a metal fence post final art of those in the water okay sorry for the false alarm how many shows we up to four I think we have four and this part on the ones table is that bugging you too much well I got another one this did not give me a great signal so I apologize for all not getting out on film too but you're probably getting pretty tired of you finding artillery shells I know you guys like to see shinies frighten Chinese I like to see artillery shells I hear my machine beeping again over the same hole maybe that's why it didn't sound good maybe there's more than one right there I hope so it's possible because it just didn't sound right all right I'm gonna put this in the boat and we'll check that hole the hole where the parrot came out up and there wasn't any other shells there there was other iron I guess in just small pieces but I didn't dig it but I think I have another shell here and I'll let you listen to it it's a little bit a little bit lighter reading but nice salt it's all ID yes that's solid only reading in the 30s which is somewhat unusual but again I'm using the the 80 max today okay the Garrett 80 max normally I use 80 gold the max is a new machine that just came out not too long ago I really really like it it seems to be a little more stable in the gold which is a machine I've used for many years alright yeah my key back thingy that I have on all my tools is stuck to my magnet so I have to all that free and I wonder and see if it's a shell of all abstract I mean we have no no it's really light no not a show it is a gun barrel this is a gun barrel it's a musket barrel I don't know what that thing is on the end right there but that's what it is you can tell because it's tapered tapers down that might be part of the trigger guard or something that's a mushed-up and it's been it's been bent probably you know to destroy it looks like it might have had the wood on it when it was thrown away that might be wood right there I guess we're gonna have to start digging the plate signals too aren't we we just got here I'm gonna get a lot of place to check but day has come to a close the tides coming back in and I'm gonna probably go home tonight I've been on the road for quite a few days now I think that wife might be missing me let's take a look at my finds what we're gonna do is sorry about that the lighting is terrible at night I didn't think about that but this is a lot of the junk stuff over here I found a little fishing rod or fishing reel kind of like the one I found the other day you'll probably might have seen that in already in the video a lot of iron tons and tons of iron I got a Ford hubcap don't forget always be wary of this kind of stuff a lot of this in the river these are my sinkers I think you've seen pretty much all of this Oh then a Mercury dime I can't read the date it's it's pretty smooth but it's silver so we will take that a bunch of sinkers you know the funny thing is I didn't find any other shows after that like break that I took in the middle of the hunt a lot of other I am poor no more shells kind of sad isn't it approaching and taking the break but these are the artillery shells and a couple tools that are thinking pretty cool and one bullet which was high and dry when I said I'm out here like just a couple minutes ago so I better set that up there tides coming in I don't know what this is for sure I thought it was a shell I was really excited it was a way over my head took me a long time to get it in it was very heavy I suspect it's some type of counterweight to maybe that'll maybe a steam engine if you guys know what that is kind of let me know cuz you know I don't know what it is you can see that you know there's something went through here it's got a pin here for some reason just a dimple in the base but I suspect that spun around maybe as a counterweight don't know for sure musket barrel gonna be a really rough shape again I got one minie ball there are some or many of all signals out there so we won't come back for them that's probably just a sinker one pick one gigantic I mean gigantically heavy I don't know some type of that's a cutting blade of course it's like a big mall I guess man you would have to be super strong too that would wear a normal person out in no time definitely saving that this is the base to the shell that I found one of the I guess the first thing I found really first relic let's see this is a parrot shell this is from the American Civil War that's gonna be turned out pretty nice and a nice Schenkel shell it's gonna be beautiful you know you already saw that of course I won't go into a lot of detail except for this let me just say this you notice how it was shaped like this here and then it tapers down ordering well before it was used this part here was actually filled in with a paper mache sabot now the sabot is the thing that grabs the rifling when when when it's fired so the cannon was ignited in the the projectile was pushed out the barrel the sabot would get lodged in the rifling and start to spin so what make a spin when it went out which let it go a lot further with a much more accuracy this is the sabot or Sabo would have been made out of paper mache they got wet they were ruined and they just pretty much how to get rid of them this is the sabot on this one you can see it's interval to the shell and this is the sabot on this one now you say well mr. Boies smooth across there how would that grab the right flank the way that grabbed the rifling was when it was fired the pressure pushed this cup up into here and this bulged out a little bit and it grabbed the rifle and this is led right here so it's very soft so what bulge grab the rifle and spin this groove right here is so the flames from the initial charge of the cannon would race up through here and come around and ignite the fuse that's what that is that's the flame group a nice parrot here I actually think it's gonna turn out pretty decent it's smooth look how smooth that is that's a 20 pounder and that's about it so I ended up with five artillery shells some tools one bullet a bunch of junk and the place that we will definitely come back to I wish I could stay one more night but I'd better hit the road but we'll come back maybe next week this is poison ivy by the way so if you're allergic to it don't let a brush on your face I may or may not still be allergic to it thanks for joining me on this little hunt it was awesome five shells and that's a once in a lifetime hunt right there we did good we'll see you on the next one
