I Found A Gun In The River While Kayaking

  • I found a gun while I was floating along in my kayak looking for stuff in the river without using my metal detector. But I was metal detecting and searching the river for treasure throughout most of the day. It was a great outdoor adventure and my friend Rich and I had a blast. Plus we get caught in a nasty thunderstorm while detecting and it wouldn't be a Chigg video without some springs and CAVES!

      there were tens of millions used in the war. when soldiers were captured their weapons were often just tossed in creeks. silt buried them and every now and then a good storm will bring one to the surface.

    The buggy step and musket were to die for Chigg. I gotta say you must love the rain, or else you are a rain magnet, as you seem to be caught in it far too often. LOL This was wonderful to see and hope you go back soon for another adventure. That spring with its waterfalls and cave was so magical, it really drew me in. I don't know how you were able to keep yourself from going in deeper to check it out?! What a lovely place and so full of curious things, and beautiful too. Thanks for taking us along. Have a great day!

    Awesome, awesome, awesome! I most certainly mean the musket, but also the area where you are hunting. Gorgeous! And I learn things every time I watch your vids. I would love to see more of that mill area - You really got the archaeologist in me perked up. I guess that's one of the reasons why I've enjoyed your channel for so long. You're doing archaeology - Albeit it is a different kind of archaeology than I learned in college (I was studying prehistory), it is historic archaeology, and you make it FUN! 😸 Nice job. Thanks for doing this. I am unable to get out in it anymore, so I'm living it through you. 💗 Thank you again. 😊

  • @LightSoySauce
    @LightSoySauce Před 5 lety

    The waterfall and giant spring were amazing, so unspoilt considering the locals have been using the river as a trash dump for so many centuries. The condition of the musket was unusually good, only just washed into the river from a dry burial place, only a few feet from someones new looking back yard fence ha ha. We love all your videos but there is something about a river hunt that is special, you have managed to train yourself to be able to hunt places most people will never be able to, respect for that, a natural curiosity and military trained tenacity. Thank you Mr Aquachigger :-)
