    U know for the longest time we only had to worry about Ricky, and you being buried in a tiny cave. Now you add beavers and brake fluid to the mix, and top it with some nice lightening. Your wife is a saint. Your pretty cool too. Be safe sir and please keep up the great work.

      Hey Chig, is it possible to refire one of these bullets in a replica or antique Civil War firearm? Did you ever check to see if they are worth more money to someone who wants to shoot them?

    This channel has got me into looking around at our local river and creeks for stuff. My 4 year old son and I went out this weekend and walked up and down a little creek trying to find relics. I didn't find anything but he found a old ax head!!! It was really cool and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for getting us out of the house and giving us some hope that we can find some cool things too.

    When I was growing up and did something that either got me banged up or almost hurt. Like riding my flat bottom in a tornado or Jeeping at night in places I didnt know and have to walk home after sliding out of the "road". He said, "Boy if you're gonna be stupid you gotta be tough". Let's just say Chigg, men like us are tough. We arent stupid, we just get carried away in the moment. Seeing you under that kayak reminds me of many times doing that. Even went out in an unusual snowstorm in one of my kayaks once, camera froze really it was the battery, so I didnt get any pictures. But have it in my head. Keep doing what you do bud, relatively safe.

    Oh man, that thunder crack was something else! I screamed. You sure found a lot of bullets. The water looked okay until you said leaches. NOPE not going in that water, ever, well I would consider it if my life depended on it. At one point in your voice over I thought I heard the door bell, but I don't have a door bell at this house. I swear that thunder crack got me hearing things. Take care. When you see a storm coming just get out of the water. Have a nice day ☺☺☺

That lighting is no fun when it's close to ya an your out in the water. It's always great to see you out in the water recovering those civil war relics. Good luck on your next adventures. As always safe and happy hunting/digging. 😁👍👍

    Hey Icarus, you know you are in trouble when you can actually feel the static electricity in the air. I was backpacking once and I could feel the static electricity, so I squatted down on the balls of my feet and the lightning struck a steer about 35 feet away from me. I swear I could feel the discharge when it struck the ground, but a friend who is a storm chaser said I couldn’t have otherwise I would be BBQ just like the steer. Poor guy (the steer) was just eating grass and the gods struck him down……..I wondered what that cow did to deserve that. Thanks for the video, truly enjoy your adventures! Thanks for taking us along.
