As a midwesterner who has only read about the civil war and briefly visited a few sites back in highschool, I loved the history facts you gave is while actually being at the spot. I love watching you find relics don't get me wrong but when you share your knowledge with us it is truly enjoyable!
Spent my entire life in the west but still loved reading and studying the Civil War. My first written report in Jr Hi was on the only Civil War battle in AZ. Only one casualty! So for you say (so casually) we're going to SEE Burnside Bridge, the look meant a lot to me! Thanks so much for the "trip".
I flew from Denver to Baltimore last week. The guy beside me was from Idaho and had never been east of Denver before. As we landed and he saw all the trees and the bay, he was blown away. He had no idea the east was so full of green trees.
I love watching your videos! I find the Civil War so fascinating, and I love how you take us to some historic Civil War sites. Thank you for the education, keep up the good work. -Payton
I like that not only do you hunt for treasure, but you also analyze the history behind certain locations. You are one of my favorite channels at the moment!
I love the history that you bring right to my door! You have such a wonderful talent , expertise, for teaching. I always look forward to your fascinating videos. I am a rabid fan!!❤
I live in Taylor County, West Virginia. Little town called Grafton, its kind of famous. Mother's Day started here and we have the longest running celebration for Memorial's Day, 150 years. There is 2 National Cemeteries here. Its a nice little town. I think this video was very interesting. Some background I didn't know about. Thanks for sharing.
I love that you take us on your excursions such as this one and give a bit of history attached to structures!! It's very interesting!! Thank you for making these!!!
Just watched this. Sorry to be a late commentator. My late brother and I took some kayaks down the Antietam back in the mid 90's with our youngest kids. Had a picnic lunch at the Burnside bridge. Thanks for bringing the memory back.
I had a feeling you were in MD from all your other videos. The landscape always looks very familiar to me. I've fished many of the waters you hunt in. My parents own a small horse farm in Boonsboro on the Antietam Creek by Devils Back Bone. I've fished all up and down the Antietam, Monacacy and Potomac.
I loved this vlog. Please, please keep doing what you are doing. I' m a fresh water girl. Born and raised on the rivers in Alabama. Boy your vlog takes me back. Precious memories. Like the boat a lot. A friend from Georgia.
I am SO going to import one of these boats to England when funds will allow. There are SO many shallow rivers and abandoned canals in the UK that normal boats simply cant get to. One of these boats would open up all those areas......cant wait to start some new adventures!!
Beau, My wife and I love your videos, my wife especially likes your animal rescue ones. You really have to do a boat video that has got to be the neatest thing I have ever heard of. Keep up the great work and thanks for doing all the videos!
Beau, l flat enjoyed this video - l've always been right fond of pretty country. I'd say you have a sure enough winner with that boat of yours - it fits you like a glove and appears to be well worth the trip to Florida to fetch it. Keep churning out the video's, l look forward to them.
thanks for the ride C W P is very help full to your followers , he"s camping lol . that yak is awesome , and i did see the (off to buy vid ),when released , super finds . we are all looking forward to all that ground ( water ) your going to cover now
I love how you still went looking for stuff even though this video was to show around. true treasure seeker adventurer!! Also some History knowledge ! :) love your videos . I watched all of them and my husband says I have a crush on you because I fall asleep to your videos and I told him I truly love the enthusiasm you have on your adventures and it's just soothing to fall asleep to this. I have bought a bounty hunter metal detector and gone searching for old coins and in the river where I live .It was fun I'll have to put them up soon on to support women who do this . :)
I volunteered at Antietam years ago at Burnside Bridge. Swallows nest under there too and they would only tolerate so many tourists before they started divebombing them. I saw a wild mink at the bridge once too.
Wish i could spend a day treasure hunting or tag along with you. But i am 70 an have copd so i am very limited in my mobility. Maybe i could use my elec. scooter.lol Watching your videos is the next best thing to actually doing it. You make me feel as tho i am right there beside you. Your shows are very educational also. I just discovered you so i have lots more of your videos to watch yet. This is the 1st post i have ever made anywhere on TH-cam. Many thanks an keep up the good work or fun..
getting into my neck of the woods now..I live in Martinsburg but work in Shepherdstown at the National conservation training center. me and my brother kayak the opequon Creek frequently. one day when I can get a detector I plan on hunting it as often as I can. great video..need more of these!
Awesome videos ... especially so close to home. Thanks! A group of us went tubing on that stretch. We put in by the battlefield and got out at the bridge. Along the way some angry locals took pot shots at us from the hilltop with shotguns. We had to use our tubes for cover as the buckshot hit the water and bounced off of us. As you pointed out, the water level was much lower at that time during the summer. The struggle was real. lol
EARTH NGEL😇👍. Beautiful ride! Momma goose is calling her babies to her and sounding a warning about You!😎 Beautiful arched stone bridge at the end! MUST be many areas around there to detect!😯
Thanks for the great train video sections...in our area they run big jet boats up the Current and Black Rivers in water so shallow you would swear no boat could navigate.
They have national kayak and canoe races at Silver Mines and Johnson Shut-Ins and of course tourists have literally ruined the Current River. Floating all those rivers by yourself with no crowd is an experience to remember forever. I like what you accomplish going out by yourself making your videos. Making the videos is great, but I know you would be out there by yourself, video or no video! Yes, we want cave videos!
Thanks for taking me along on your journey(s)' whether it is metal detecting, or enjoying the scenery and history, you truly do take me along..... Bat quote .... Croc.... Hahahahahahahaha. Could you tell us a little more about your great little boat.... Thanks again, looking forward to your next video!
chig, what to thank you for this video. it brings back memories when I was a kid playing under the Antietam bridge. Found some amazing things there. by the way there at the caves if you look down stream the rocks have drill holes in them . there was a dam there were miss piggy was. people would come from the C&O would take a ferry to Belinda Springs to drink the spring water
I love that Mo Kyi kayak. Have some great trout rivers in NY State where I live and one of those would get an old guy like me into places nobody can get to. Looks like great fun too.
Thank you for the trip. I reside in New Burnside, Illinois. ( pop. 250) So this was quite enlightening, We have been to Burnside Bridge, but the view from the water is totally different.
It's 20 degrees Fahrenheit without the windchill today so I'm kicking back watching your videos. So far this has been my favorite. Love the history. Thanks for posting.
I'd love to visit these places. Absolutely beautiful. I'm in Scotland. Stirling to be exact. The authorities didn't like me taking my "boat" up the river however.
Great trip! Loved the scenery and I just love all the history you talk about! You're really a smart guy with all the history of the places you go to! Would love to see more caves! All the best to you!
Really cool boat! I enjoy exploring the rivers too. Today's trip was a 5 mile up stream peddle from the tout 50 bridge toeards Front Royal and back. got back and loaded up just brfore the storm hit... I enjoy eatching your videos, kerp them comming and ill keep on eatching and giving a thumbs up...
Thanks Beau! I couldn't get out this weekend due to work. I really appreciated the adventure video! Did my heart some good! Can't wait for the next one! All the best... Gregg
That was cool. Have you ever seen videos of kayakers going down the Etowah river here in Georgia to the old mile long mine tunnel which goes under a mountain where the river makes a loop and then rejoins the river after the river swings back around the mtn! It's an adventure that's got you written all over it!
I think history is amazing, you can learn so much! And you can learn about the past, and the Revolutionary war, and the civil war, etc... It's just my favorite class at school. And I love learning more about history like world war 1 and 2. But I won't be able to learn about that till next year.
My brother-in-law lived in McDonald Pa. and he used to metal detect in the rivers like you do. In Florida on the beach sand he found a diamond ring, and a Baum-Merseau watch. Really expensive.
It sure was fun hanging out with you....maybe you will find another Spencer carbine....I have stood on Burnside bridge so I really enjoyed this...great channel...enjoyed it
Two days ago I dug up a Confederate Calvary Saber! It is missing the hilt and is bent but the steel is in perfect condition.41inches total length.I dig everything up in a limestone bed so it protects the metal. The blade also has a continual fuller and no markings. I'm very happy with my very first sword!!!
You are a wonderful tour guide.Not only the way that you point out places and things of interest but your delivery also holds ones attention. I think that's why Id asked you once if you'd ever been a teacher. My heart was in my mouth a few times seeing those large rocks and the end of a large pipe sticking out of the swift water while you were going up that Im positive would have done considerable damage if not skillfully avoided.Does your wife ever yell at you for taking chances when she sees you videos?
Aquachigger Your videos are great! From watching your videos I know that you are very knowledgeable about The Civil War.Could you do a video on the things that most people might not know about the Civil War or a in-depth history about it?

So for you say (so casually) we're going to SEE Burnside Bridge, the look meant a lot to me! Thanks so much for the "trip".
I wish you were my history teacher when I was younger, you make it sound so exciting and interesting!
It's amazing how you are traveling through a (relatively) highly populated area, yet the trees and bushes make it look like wilderness.
I flew from Denver to Baltimore last week. The guy beside me was from Idaho and had never been east of Denver before. As we landed and he saw all the trees and the bay, he was blown away. He had no idea the east was so full of green trees.
I love watching your videos! I find the Civil War so fascinating, and I love how you take us to some historic Civil War sites. Thank you for the education, keep up the good work.

I love the civil war battles
+Aquachigger I love the civil war time I learned it. and I went to Gettysburg PA
+Aquachigger hey intresting fact the town is the most haunted place in America cool right
general Burnside was my great great uncle. awesome to see this stuff since I'm in arizona and couldn't see it myself. love your channel
Awesome little adventure, thanks for taking us along! I have visited the Antietam Battlefield, it's an amazing place...
That looks like a great time. Amazing scenery and history.
Really appreciate the views of historical places that never get shown anywhere else. Kinda of like going in the back door away from the tourist traps.
I like that not only do you hunt for treasure, but you also analyze the history behind certain locations. You are one of my favorite channels at the moment!
WOW! What a ride! Thanks for sharing.
This might be your best one yet. Wall to wall adventure, scenery and history. Loved it!!!!
Very interesting and enjoyable. Thanks for taking us along.
LOL! "We should go look for relics...DUCKS"! Easily distracted, aren't you? I got a kick outta that!
I love the history that you bring right to my door!
You have such a wonderful talent , expertise, for teaching. I always look forward to your fascinating videos. I am a rabid fan!!❤

I got sweaty palms watching you run the rapids. Thought you might bottom out.
Your enthusiasm is addicting! Love watching your videos!
I had a feeling you were in MD from all your other videos. The landscape always looks very familiar to me. I've fished many of the waters you hunt in.

Cool!I love it when you travel around even though you do not have a detector .I'm a major history buff and I enjoy this.
Thanks
Beau, My wife and I love your videos, my wife especially likes your animal rescue ones. You really have to do a boat video that has got to be the neatest thing I have ever heard of. Keep up the great work and thanks for doing all the videos!
Thanks for taking us along! What a fun adventure.
it's amazing how everything eventually wines up in the water
Beau, l flat enjoyed this video - l've always been right fond of pretty country. I'd say you have a sure enough winner with that boat of yours - it fits you like a glove and appears to be well worth the trip to Florida to fetch it. Keep churning out the video's, l look forward to them.
Yep , more caves and tours like this . Fun and interesting by Kayak .Thanks .
That was a wonderful boat ride! Beautiful river too.
I really like following you on your adventures. Thanks for taking us along. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

That's cool! Views of areas that I had been to as a kid many times that I had never seen before. Thanks!
That was fun! Thanks for sharing. Esp love the birds and nature.
I enjoyed the ride. I grew up in MD and spent a bunch of time working in that area. Very cool history.

wow! the chiggster went up the creek and found a paddle! haha lol.
Impressive boat. I like how you give a history lesson whilst traveling. lol CROC in the river.
getting into my neck of the woods now..I live in Martinsburg but work in Shepherdstown at the National conservation training center. me and my brother kayak the opequon Creek frequently. one day when I can get a detector I plan on hunting it as often as I can. great video..need more of these!

A group of us went tubing on that stretch. We put in by the battlefield and got out at the bridge. Along the way some angry locals took pot shots at us from the hilltop with shotguns. We had to use our tubes for cover as the buckshot hit the water and bounced off of us. As you pointed out, the water level was much lower at that time during the summer. The struggle was real. lol
Thanks for the history lesson! There was a little town just south of where I grew up called cement for the same reason! Awesome boat!
I love history..area looks sooo beautiful. lucky u
EARTH NGEL😇👍. Beautiful ride! Momma goose is calling her babies to her and sounding a warning about You!😎 Beautiful arched stone bridge at the end! MUST be many areas around there to detect!😯
Thanks for the history lesson! "Dig" it !
i miss being out there. i did harpers, gettys, and antietam 2 yrs ago. love the history and scenery in your area!
Thanks for the great train video sections...in our area they run big jet boats up the Current and Black Rivers in water so shallow you would swear no boat could navigate.
So you must live in Missouri ? Johnson Shut-Ins ?
They have national kayak and canoe races at Silver Mines and Johnson Shut-Ins and of course tourists have literally ruined the Current River. Floating all those rivers by yourself with no crowd is an experience to remember forever. I like what you accomplish going out by yourself making your videos.

Found some amazing things there. by the way there at the caves if you look down stream the rocks have drill holes in them . there was a dam there were miss piggy was. people would come from the C&O would take a ferry to Belinda Springs to drink the spring water
I love that Mo Kyi kayak. Have some great trout rivers in NY State where I live and one of those would get an old guy like me into places nobody can get to. Looks like great fun too.
Awesome tour up & down the river Beau. And YES would love to see some caves. I love them.
Love that kayak btw.
Thank you for the trip. I reside in New Burnside, Illinois. ( pop. 250) So this was quite enlightening, We have been to Burnside Bridge, but the view from the water is totally different.

closest town is probably dawsonville........beautiful river as well.
Damn that kayak is on the ball! I wonder how fun it would be to ride it all the way back through the rapids :D probably go like 40 mph
I think history is amazing, you can learn so much! And you can learn about the past, and the Revolutionary war, and the civil war, etc... It's just my favorite class at school. And I love learning more about history like world war 1 and 2. But I won't be able to learn about that till next year.
Oh my god theres a croc in the river, and then the face ... lol nice
Thanks for the ride too!
Thanks for the great boating trip.
Quite a ride Beau I enjoyed it.
My brother-in-law lived in McDonald Pa. and he used to metal detect in the rivers like you do.
In Florida on the beach sand he found a diamond ring, and a Baum-Merseau watch. Really expensive.
Almost at 300,000!!!! Wtg Aquachigger!!!
I really enjoyed this ride 😊 Especially since you passed by so many historical places! Really amazing! 😊🇸🇬
What an epic journey.
It sure was fun hanging out with you....maybe you will find another Spencer carbine....I have stood on Burnside bridge so I really enjoyed this...great channel...enjoyed it

Two days ago I dug up a Confederate Calvary Saber! It is missing the hilt and is bent but the steel is in perfect condition.41inches total length.I dig everything up in a limestone bed so it protects the metal.

By chance did you serve in an artillery battery in Vietnam? I served with a 155 battery in 67-68. I Corps An Hoa basin 25 miles SW of Danang
