I'm enjoying the series, Beau. Since I began watching your videos, I knew there was a connection and your interview has explained why. I grew up on a farm and have always enjoyed being outdoors.....hunting, fishing, camping, trapping (yes, I know what a conibear on the hand feels like), shooting, etc. History has always been my mystery and detecting was an amazing fit. While only a few years in, I know it will be with me to the end. Not that fond of the heat anymore, but I love the cold and one of my fondest memories was hunting whitetail with a quarter inch of ice on the barrel. My only regret is having never served my Country. I have the utmost respect for those who have and do. Thank you for your service and the inspiration you are and will continue to be for me and thousands of others!
I ordered my entry level Garrett ACE 350 today with all accessories. Should arrive in time for my 50th Birthday. Inspired completely by your videos. I live in an area with a lot of Indian history along the river I live on. I couldn't afford the waterproof models but dry land searching is the plan. Thanks for your inspiring videos sir.
Thank you so much for all the videos you put up Beau. They are so well done. We really enjoy them. I'm always looking foward to the next one. I've been detecting seriously now for five years or so, and watching your techniques have been very helpful. This interview has been great. Very informative and inspiring. Nice to know you get the same emotional connection I do when I find a piece that represents a significant moment in history. My wife wanted me to say she loved the baby fox and deer episodes. Thanks again! Shane
Beau, thank you for posting these, and all of your videos. You've been my inspiration for river hunting and of course you've inspired many, many others. Thanks for sharing your videos with us!
And the anticipated interview continues... Man Beau the closing question is one that I have thought of asking you in the past, interested in your answer! I enjoy this series and thank you for sharing!
Nice to see another part of this interview and not one person watching could say you aren't passionate about the hobby, history and getting out there and enjoying every day. Great attitude to have regarding finds too as we don't find great stuff on a regular basis. I really pity the guys on TH-cam who feel they have to show silver or gold in every video a they invariably end up making such obvious fake 'finds'. Great to be associated with the proper detectorists who do it for the love of the hobby and not the money from TH-cam. Awesome stuff, man. Looking forward to part 3. GL&HH
Amen... It can be very discouraging to watch someone find silver in every video, and go out on your own, and not find silver for months! By the way, nice to see you on Beau's account, I'm subscribed to both of you guys.
***** Groovy. I'm not one for hero worship but I reckon the nearest thing to a hero in the detecting world is Beau, no doubt about it. Always great to see someone with a successful channel remaining a nice guy as a few well known guys over here in the UK are simply awful creatures in it purely for views, subs and earnings, faking stuff in almost every video. Urrrggh....
Holy cow Beau, I just watched this video tonight, March 9th. About a month, or so, ago, I wrote on my Facebook page how it fascinates me to detect something from 50, 100, 200+ years ago that a person was right here and lost whatever it may be. I love history and the, 'what if's,' are what keep me going.
Ahhhh, cliffhanger on the $ question. For many of us it's not about the money. For some reason people like to assign a monetary value to everything. Money is no more than a nuisance that we all must deal with and it ruins most things.
W Wally I am mainly doing it for the fun and the things I learn about, I am interested in things like history, but that does not mean, that I would not be happy about a ring that is worth a lot. So I think, people see the finds, that they find interesting (which is mainly valuable stuff) then they think, everyone finds those finds most important and make false assumptions... at least I think that is the case.
An outstanding interview and I agree with you: ‘Beau’ just keep-on-keeping on. Look forward to your next season! As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video! And I support this site. ~M~
I really don't know how I ended up watching your programs - through just being interested in the topic, I guess - But you Sir, Beau Ouimette, are one intelligent and resourceful person. Just by watching the 2 episodes I have learned things that no one has ever been able to make clear - The content was pretty much clear, but the way you explained it was very interesting. Looking forward to watch the 3rd part. From: The Great White North - Canada.
Hey Beau, I'm from WV as well over in McNeill's Rangers country. You're videos are very interesting and great to watch, keep up the great work. Best detecting channel on TH-cam.
Old timers, What drives me and from what you talk about are near the same. If I was out for the rich's, I best find another way. Reaching into the time portal to the 1700's and 1800's is my thrill. History of WV is great and I'm learning all the time. One hurdle that took me some time to over come was to be looking at my site as being used 200 years ago. I don't run on to other hunters as I'm long past the local parks and schools. In now 60 and as I have always joked, some day some hunter will find me in the woods, a pile of bones with a detector in one hand and $20 gold piece in the other. Thanks
Hi, really a great interview & thanks for sharing, that´s not self-evident and one notices that you speak out of huge experience! Happy Hunting & Greetings Markus
I am loving this series man!! Great way to wait out the frozen dirt. Have you ever found anything from the french and Indian war era? I love learning about that time in history. I'm sure you have been in the "Lord Nelson" store in Gburg. I love that book shelf in there!!
Good video. Very important to know what you are looking at when out hunting. Everything from types of trees to plants to snakes and animals. The things we find and do not know about.. well we might carry home ! haha Thanks for the vid !! HH
Infantry leads the way brother! I hope someday to get to meet ya possibly swing a coil together.. Watching your vids is what got me into detecting when I came home from the war struggling with PTSD & I believe detecting really has helped me possibly saved my life!
Spot on man, it is all about the connection to history. Its knot about getting rich, well to me. Its about getting out side, the hunt, the history, and allot of times trying to figure out what it is that I found. One time I dug a u. s. Navy button with no shank on the back but four small fasits on the edge of it. Man it took me days to figure out that it was a part of a button belt that women wore after the civil war. I love the research. Thank you so much for your videos, they are great. Good luck ;)
Dang! Some things you say seem like you're quoting my mind! Other things I think I'll steal and quote myself! ;-) I wish the camera wouldn't have messed up tho :-( Thanks for letting us see you, all vulnerable and nervous. I know that has to be difficult to do! I felt the same about the video I posted the other day called Found silver, lost mind. In it I had just found my first silver, a Merc and I wept! This video shows me, once again, how wonderful a man I know you are! Ty Mr BEAU!
OHH MY GOODNESSSSSSSSS ANOTHER MOUNTAINEER!!! WOW--DID NOT KNOW THAT AND BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS FOR WEEKS,GEEPERS BEEN YOU HAVE HUNTED WHERE I HAVE(
Good times and bad times☀️I'm in that 10%☀️patients is my middle name☀️you're gonna be hearing from ( me)Kentucky for a while ☀I had a brain anuresym /stroke in 2010 -i worked so very hard to recover and daydreamed many times of exporing and wandering for relics✨✨so now i am 👍✨👍Ty for teaching us "you tubers "☀️ god bless
Beau, I've been meaning to ask a question about your theory on the best time to river hunt? After a hard rain possibly a good time to see uncovered treasure from rinsed shorelines? You remember IC creek I spoke about... it's been raging lately and I'm anxiously waiting a good day to explorer. Thank you.
Have you ever noticed that when you meet others that enjoy this hobby as much as we do, most of the time you are meeting someone that you can really relate to? I guess we area a unique breed indeed. I have been watching your videos foe over a year now and metal detecting for about the same time. I hunt or research at least once or twice a week and most of the time a lot more often than that. although I'm a novice, I can relate to almost everything you say. I live on the water and hope to start water hunting, but not sure exactly how to go about it. I will be hunting the rivers and shoreline of the Chesapeake bay in Virginia, much bigger water than what I usually see you hunting. You are not that far from me, have you ever hunted near or around the Chesapeake bay?
Do you still live in W. Va.? I used to live the northern panhandle of W. VA. Besides metal detecting/water detecting, what other kind of work do you do?
I never metal detected in water, but items are just out of reach, sharp rocks, dead animals, rusty stuff, glass, auto parts, plastic bags and more are there to find.
I knew you had roots in WV haha. Hello to a fellow Mountaineer, Do you get to hunt in WV any? I am in the south, Mercer county, and there were quite a few battles within 75 miles of me. When is the reality show coming out? haha
Mighty pretty country up there. I was in Martinsburg in '86 competing in a Vocational competition. I loved the rolling farmland layout. Reminded me of southern VA. Been just about every county at one time or other trout fishing, hunting or trapping. I love your videos. Ill watch one or two a day now till I get them all. Keep 'em coming.
What I would want to know is how would you go about burying a treasure. I know I have always wanted to leave a treasure behind after I'm gone as I've always found treasure hunting intriquing.
Mr.sniper kitty Cat Hey Mr Kitty. The Garrett Ace 350 has a package deal for $297.00 with a hand probe pin pointer included. I added the coil protector, the display head protector, and the padded carry bag. Came to 370.00 for the whole shebang.
The interviewer sounds like Deep Digger Dan(I'm probably wrong). And a quick question....just how old are you? You look like you are in your mid to late 40's
"river hunting is a specialist niche" God, this guys wasted in America, imagine all that really old, valuable metal in virgin European rivers. Celts used to sacrifice their valuable gold pieces to the river, lakes, bogs
Hello the can idea isn't really working were I love there's not that many places to sell a can everyone I no is sadly died I have the money to get to Denmark but not the ring
Don't you wish you could "crowd source" the editing of your videos? Someone should build a site like that where you can upload raw videos, and a crowd of volunteers edit a live copy of the video. You would obviously own the raw and final version of the material.
I'm enjoying the series, Beau. Since I began watching your videos, I knew there was a connection and your interview has explained why.

Your like the motivational speaker for metal detectorist and treasure seekers Beau. Just got me fired up! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Another great interview Beau! Thanks for sharing with all of us! Gregg

Beau, thank you for posting these, and all of your videos. You've been my inspiration for river hunting and of course you've inspired many, many others. Thanks for sharing your videos with us!
Loved the part about connecting to the person who lost the object, too true.
very awesome interview beau looking forward to part 3 thanks for sharing with us.. Take care Ryan
hey their beau, give us MOAR, i thank you for your service sir.
And the anticipated interview continues... Man Beau the closing question is one that I have thought of asking you in the past, interested in your answer! I enjoy this series and thank you for sharing!
Really enjoying finding out more about you and the hobby of metal detecting...keep it coming! Thanks!

Patrick M I would be out every day if I could be, lol
You look and sound professional. You are obviously the detectors spokesman.
Good job!

Hi Beau, Excellent two videos so far.....i am looking forward to part three....cheers,G:)
as always great video beau spring will be here soon cant wait to see your first hunt
I feel your addiction Beau , and I can't get enough too . Awesome Man !
Looking forward to seeing the rest of this interview.
Good points. Especially about 'connections;" Thanks.
Ahhhh, cliffhanger on the $ question. For many of us it's not about the money. For some reason people like to assign a monetary value to everything. Money is no more than a nuisance that we all must deal with and it ruins most things.
W Wally I am mainly doing it for the fun and the things I learn about, I am interested in things like history, but that does not mean, that I would not be happy about a ring that is worth a lot.

And yes, it is a bit late 😂😂
Great videos Beau, cant even start to tell you how much I have learned from watching you
An outstanding interview and I agree with you: ‘Beau’ just keep-on-keeping on. Look forward to your next season! As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video! And I support this site. ~M~
Many thanks Sir! you also inspire me as a person! great human being! :)
Great interview Beau, thanks for sharing.
Why does everything always seem to come down to monetary worth?Here you gave that heartfelt talk on the heart,mind and soul fulfillment and then.....
I really don't know how I ended up watching your programs - through just being interested in the topic, I guess - But you Sir, Beau Ouimette, are one intelligent and resourceful person.
Just by watching the 2 episodes I have learned things that no one has ever been able to make clear - The content was pretty much clear, but the way you explained it was very interesting.
Looking forward to watch the 3rd part.

Hey Beau, I'm from WV as well over in McNeill's Rangers country. You're videos are very interesting and great to watch, keep up the great work. Best detecting channel on TH-cam.
Research, research, research!!
That's the key to find the spot!!!
Spend more time reading than in the field!!
Great interview yet again :)
Old timers, What drives me and from what you talk about are near the same. If I was out for the rich's, I best find another way. Reaching into the time portal to the 1700's and 1800's is my thrill.

The new Virginian , instead of rescuing people you rescue relics : )

You remember IC creek I spoke about... it's been raging lately and I'm anxiously waiting a good day to explorer. Thank you.
I seem to live through your adventures.
old and in the way in tennessee
2 thumbs up. See ya on the next one.

Hey Beau, You should wear that cool looking WWI helmet on your next Interview! Come on do it for your fans!!
When is part 3 coming? You ended on a cliffhanger!!
Hey Beau, is there a part 3? I couldn't find it
Do you still live in W. Va.? I used to live the northern panhandle of W. VA.
Besides metal detecting/water detecting, what other kind of work do you do?
Love the series Beau, interesting stuff... Who was asking the questions and how did they contact you? Just wondering. Thanks man!
thats a nice picture of kenny loggins on that shelf back there
I never metal detected in water, but items are just out of reach, sharp rocks, dead animals, rusty stuff, glass, auto parts, plastic bags and more are there to find.
Not yet, I may have mentioned dead cows and possums.
***** As I said before, The Outlaw Beausey Wales ; )
Hey Beau, which Infantry unit were you in in Germany? 1-16 Infantry myself at the time the wall came down.
good stuff man :)
Hey Chig, where is part 3 of this interview, not seeing it listed sir.
What kind of detector do you use
what do you recomenned for a all round good metal detector
What does your camra rig looklike for water hunting ?
Come on beau get those videos uploaded
expect the unexpected is what i was always told
I knew you had roots in WV haha. Hello to a fellow Mountaineer, Do you get to hunt in WV any? I am in the south, Mercer county, and there were quite a few battles within 75 miles of me. When is the reality show coming out? haha

Been just about every county at one time or other trout fishing, hunting or trapping. I love your videos. Ill watch one or two a day now till I get them all. Keep 'em coming.
Do you do reenactments?
Hey beau! I'm a rookie detector and I'm wondering what the best reasonably priced pin pointer brand is?
That's okay! I was just curious!
What I would want to know is how would you go about burying a treasure. I know I have always wanted to leave a treasure behind after I'm gone as I've always found treasure hunting intriquing.
***** Nope, was not I...not many brick sidewalks around anymore.
Have you seen garretts new water proof wand? Very exciting!
Awsome! Cant wait to get one!
can you explain the part where it messed up in the deleted scenes?
speaking of missing was the campaign trip with Dan a series or just a one time thing ?
If it was a 3 day trip surely you got more than 3 minutes of footage.
ok that makes sense
All you gotta do is draw a you know what on your forehead and BAM! Charles Manson
Just kidding
Too bad your storm story was cut off.
life is one big tutorial
Beau and his wife uoper left hand picture ♥
That's beaus brother meau. He's been on the lamb since Ricky body has been found, he's suspect number one.
Beau i want to buy a medal detector and i don't know what kind do you have any suggestions
Plese tell me what kind
I have about $350
Thank you for the answer
Mr.sniper kitty Cat Hey Mr Kitty. The Garrett Ace 350 has a package deal for $297.00 with a hand probe pin pointer included. I added the coil protector, the display head protector, and the padded carry bag. Came to 370.00 for the whole shebang.
Thank you for the suggestion
think the interviewer has watched too much 'antiques roadshow'
Do you sell anything
8:37 shut down camera to curse out loud!!!!!!!!
ohhhhh
How many colonial musket balls or other early american artifacts have you found
The interviewer sounds like Deep Digger Dan(I'm probably wrong). And a quick question....just how old are you? You look like you are in your mid to late 40's
I really enjoy your videos. You are probably Joshua Chamberlain reincarnate...except for the damn yankee thing.
Hey Beau, Come on, you can tell me.....Do you have the Cotton Hill Cannon in your basement? Your Pal, Sonny B., Fayette Co.
Beau Start some new vids please
"river hunting is a specialist niche" God, this guys wasted in America, imagine all that really old, valuable metal in virgin European rivers. Celts used to sacrifice their valuable gold pieces to the river, lakes, bogs
+Adam Smith Erm people search rivers in europe aswell...
You've been doing it for 40 years? What? Since you were 5 maybe? How frikin old are you? You don't look that old.
Hello the can idea isn't really working were I love there's not that many places to sell a can everyone I no is sadly died I have the money to get to Denmark but not the ring
Complaint warning: If you go out hunting everything day, why do we get videos once a week!
Don't you wish you could "crowd source" the editing of your videos? Someone should build a site like that where you can upload raw videos, and a crowd of volunteers edit a live copy of the video. You would obviously own the raw and final version of the material.
Hey, you never know. Aquachigger "raw and uncut" maybe perfect for pay-per-view :)
This must be fake!! Everybody can see that he´s not sitting there on his chair!
(Just joking... I hope nobody took offense. :D )
I'm thinkin you need a hair cut.
Ok... good interview... why are you being interviewed by Brits??
