Thank you for the extended explanation of the Williams cleaner bullet...now I understand how it works! Please give us moar history lessons when you can...and less sunglasses!!
The best-known of the three cities is Dum Dum, founded in 1783. It was the headquarters of the Bengal artillery until 1853 and has an ammunition factory in which the dumdum, an expanding bullet, was first made. Hollow points and exploding/expanding bullets were called dumdums. Long forgot this term with this meaning, thanks for the waking up of old grey matter. Good find!
Chigg, I love the videos of your animals, last winter the birds were great watching, I love the pond, your dogs and cats are fun to watch. Have you captured any more snakes? I'd like to see more.
i love your videos when you say there was a civil war camp nearby i cant help myself but look at your surroundings and imagine the camp and soldiers. thanks
I love watching your videos! They are informative and the excitement in your voice when you find something gets me to giggling! Your finds are not something I'd find here in Nevada, so it's exciting watching you! Keep up the fun Chigger!
It is so cool to watch you pull bullets out of the river/creeks! I really want to get a detector and hunt at my Grandma's farm. Her dad was a "collector" of many things. I've been told the yard looked like a junkyard! Awesome video! My 6 year old begs to watch you find things! Thanks for another amazing video!
It's easy to understand why you prefer to dig by yourself. You invest a lot of your time researching to understanding the history of an area before you even get in the water. There must be times when you would rather listen to the sounds of the river rather than someone else yapping or beeping. I appreciate hearing you explain why a certain bend, ford, bridge, or other geographical feature makes for a good spot to search. Another adventure I've enjoyed. Keep them coming!
It's a lot easier for me to make a video when I am by myself. If I'm with another 'tuber, I have to wait until they stop talking because I can't stand hearing separate conversations in the background of videos and I suspect I am not alone....like I like to be...lol.
Got me a Kayak,had a AT Pro for a few months now,hit a River.....yes Treasure....a few coins and clay pipes,also got permission on an old Water Mill,oldest coin so far 1799,loving it,great vids Mr Chigg.
Do you ever wear orange to keep from getting shot by Deer hunters when not in the kayak? Williams cleaner. Yes I have never found one of them before or a Sharps. One day may be.
I've frequently wondered, do you recycle the aluminum cans you pack out rather than tossing them in the garbage as you state you are going to do? What about other metals you pack out? can those be recycled?
I accidentally found me a horseshoe, but it's 1890's-?. Raked up the leaves to metal detect and a horse shoe came up. As "luck" would have I detected a 1974 cent.
I would like to get in to metal dectecting. What is a budget waterproof metal detecter? I am guessing something like the, Garret Ace 250 but I would like some recommendations.
That is pretty good considering some of the really rapid waters you go in now. By the way, if you don't have weights handy, pick up a big rock and it may give you enough weight to get down and stay down long enough to pick up a knife or whatever.
Hey aquachigger, love all your videos so much.. I don't get to get out in the streams and rivers cuz I live in a big city. Anywhere you suggest in Ohio? Looking to take a trip soon. Thanks!
Chigg like the metal detector MacGyver. he can turn that metal detector into a musket and turn them bullets in to grenades. he's absolutely cooler than the other side of the pillow.
Hi AquaChigger! Love the videos, It's really awesome watching you dig up war relics! I would love to find some myself. How did you get started searching? What would be a good first metal detector? Thanks!
You call those Williams Cleaners bullets, but he never said that in his patent notes about them cleaning guns until his third variation of the bullet that was released.. That was from someone thinking that they cleaned the guns, whenever they where never intended for cleaning.. He just thought he could find a new plunger system to get the bullet out further, faster, and more accurate, then instead of how the old ball ammo was just pushed out before firing..
I often wonder about dropped bullets. Were they dropped because that's where they got killed? I also wonder how many are civil war "era" bullets that were surplus, and used in later years by ex soldiers for their own personal hunting.
It seems like there is an almost unbelievable amount of dropped bullets. Why do you think it is such a common find? Surely ammo has always been at a premium for troops and even an unsuitable caliber is useful for the lead? Why wasn't it scavenged?
I enjoy the teaching on the bullets, etc. I have never found anything civil war related.
Always educational when you travel with Chigg

I like the way you clean the rubbish out of the river as well

Aquachigger thank you for making videos! I love them!
If you were to let the clay with the gunpowder dry would you be able to start a fire with that?
So glad you upload so frequently, makes my day to come home from work and get to watch a new video from you :)

I have learned so much about the ACW ....I wasn't interested to be honest. You have bought it to life, other than slavery. thanks😎👍
awsome! nice to see all those 3-bangers in one hole. only u chig. i would have been the guy that found the iron that was on the darn bullet. lol
the info on the cleaner bullet was interesting thanx for the education chig
glad you got your pin pointer back.
it's awesome to see some steady content keep that camera running and continue to educate. chigg on brother man!!
I really love your explanations of the technology at the time, i.e. the cleaner bullet.
You are the man! I am amazed by your videos. I get goose bumps watching the explorations and discoveries.
Nice bunch of bullets Beau. I enjoyed the video Thanks.

You are very entertaining and educating as well. I absolutely enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming.
Good to see the pin pointer is back
First time I've heard "Pileated Woodpecker" used in a sentence. Good show!
Always so cool!
Got me a Kayak,had a AT Pro for a few months now,hit a River.....yes Treasure....a few coins and clay pipes,also got permission on an old Water Mill,oldest coin so far 1799,loving it,great vids Mr Chigg.
Having been Armor/Cavalry, I'd love to see you recover a wrist breaker, sometime!
Thank you based Aquachigger
good stuff again chigg well done.
very cool, I hope to find some civil war Era relics some day as well, but, I have to venture out of my home state, Michigan to do so.
Good finds thank you for the video.
I've been watching for as long as I can remember and you always make me smile :D very educational andI like it like that
Hi Chigg, is it possible to keep the lump of clay with the bullet for future? just dry it out and keep it to show it later. cheers
best. youtuber. ever.
Great hunt!!!☺☺☺☺🌞🌞🌞👍👍👍
That is pretty darn cool Chig! Thanks!
Very enjoyable video Chig! Greetings from Brazil!

you're awesome man...
Thanks for the awesome video chigg. Moar
Your one of my favorite youtubers! You're so funny

Another great video Beau!
I love aqua chigger vidios
Good enjoyable hunt Mr Chigg thanks... BigfootDigger
always great. come to New England.
we get the same conditions here in aus. Australia
Chigg If a barrel ever blew up because they used a cleaner round, they won't use one again.
Uncle Dave
your vids are awesome. keep it up!
love the vids
great video i love all your vids!
I accidentally found me a horseshoe, but it's 1890's-?. Raked up the leaves to metal detect and a horse shoe came up. As "luck" would have I detected a 1974 cent.
I'd love to find just one Civil War bullet! Lucky you!
texasj49 same!
Cool worm bullet... I would say that is rare to find one of those.
I would like to get in to metal dectecting. What is a budget waterproof metal detecter? I am guessing something like the, Garret Ace 250 but I would like some recommendations.
Watching your videos encourages me to learn to swim, 25 and ever learned. 🙈
That is pretty good considering some of the really rapid waters you go in now. By the way, if you don't have weights handy, pick up a big rock and it may give you enough weight to get down and stay down long enough to pick up a knife or whatever.
It's just as exciting for us as for you...believe me its all fun
great vid!
Crawdad was mad you stole his bullet collection...
also were do u look for this kinda stuff
do you ever worry that someday there won't be nothing left to find if this hobby picks up?
Hey aquachigger, love all your videos so much.. I don't get to get out in the streams and rivers cuz I live in a big city. Anywhere you suggest in Ohio? Looking to take a trip soon. Thanks!
You have the best luck ever
Very covenant to blame "the pants" huh Chigg ? :)
what pound magnet do you use on your pick
Looking for bullets...”I’ve been here before but let’s give it another shot .“ 🤣 Another shot! I see what you did there
Do you ever hunt in mid tn. around the boro?
what kind of boat is that?
Boy, do you find a lot of bullets. I have never found one of those here in northeastern Pa.
I'm heading down to Savanah Tomorrow, from CT any good spots to detect?
Chigg like the metal detector MacGyver. he can turn that metal detector into a musket and turn them bullets in to grenades. he's absolutely cooler than the other side of the pillow.
Nice job!!! Do you think the bullets are mostly near banks or is it random?
what camera do you usel filmning with?
Hi AquaChigger!
Love the videos, It's really awesome watching you dig up war relics! I would love to find some myself. How did you get started searching? What would be a good first metal detector? Thanks!
Why not ask Beau on his site ? Press on link ----< www.aquachigger.com
Charles Wilson Peale helpful as always
Nice video. What do you do with all the items you've found over the years, are they sold or go they to a museum.
Why did the soldiers hate the cleaner bullet? (You mentioned it but didn't explain why?) Were they more difficult to load?
Sometimes the gun barrels would explode.
That sure is a good reason to not want to use them
Besides the exploding risk they wern`t very accurate
How do you know where to look for bullets and relics? Do you just look in random bodies of water or do you go where there has been battles, camps etc?
Reasearch
2 mins from upload and 18 comment 180 views. What a good channel.
MindinsideMine it's a nice adventure, i like when he diving for go pro and i phone
just pondering.. why can you still find old stuff in creeks and rivers from 100 yrs ago, don't the banks change course over time?
WOW cool! Hey I just subscribed
First from Germany. ;-)
Chigg, why are they called miniballs when the bullet is elongated?
Gonna be in Culpepper in December ?
Hey aquachigger, where do u search? Like state wise, or area wise idk, what ever information ur willing to give out
Just like a kinder egg... except that it's legal? :p
how do you know where to look for stuff at
Great bullets
7:50 ish. I'd keep it in the soil.

I so want to do this
Do you ever hunt in Texas
I always blame my dog .
