  • This is a video I shot of a hunt in a mostly Yankee camp. In it, I find nearly 70 Civil War bullets as well as some other relics.

    Great video Beau! Full of informative info again, man your a walking encyclopaedia! Love all the history and you tell real well. I found a lot of lead today as well! All fishing sinkers all 48 of them lol. I did find a nice little gold ring as well though. Cheers and as always HH. By the way, how do I find your vid of you finding that poncho? I just read some of your comments and saw that! Chris Perth Aus.

  • @littleyetlargedwarfenterta7152

  • @jrg7951

    Check the base cavity on civil war bullets, some have markings in them. I dug a 3 ringer and a buddy noticed a star in the cavity. Some have a CS and other markings.

  • @AmyLeeAngelLove
    @AmyLeeAngelLove Před 8 lety +12

    You're so much more enjoyable to watch than those guys on the show Diggers... Mainly because I don't have to hear you say "Nectar in the Pock", "We got some Civ", and "Roundness in the hole", and you don't overreact and do somersaults when you find an Indian head penny.

    • @AmyLeeAngelLove
      @AmyLeeAngelLove Před 8 lety +3

      ***** I'll just stick with your videos! Been watching them nonstop for about 3 days now and find them very addicting, you should have your own TV show!

    • @LyudmilaRGVK
      @LyudmilaRGVK Před 8 lety +1

      I know what you mean Amy, there is no good reason for the directors to make them act silly like that. I like and respect George and Tim but those antics get old fast.Do the producers and directors really think that that's what the viewers want? George Wyant recently put a detecting video on Facebook and hes not being silly.

    • @LyudmilaRGVK
      @LyudmilaRGVK Před 8 lety +1

      I agree that Beau makes great metal detecting videos,It most likely wouldn't be worth it to him to be on a TV show, some less than scrupulous relic hunters would find all of his favorite hunting spots.

I have a real cheep detector I plan on using with my daughter but would like a decent one and don't mind spending the money on it,what would you suggest for a keen beginner ?

      @G-body-will72 Před 10 lety

      Alright thanks. I already up graded to the at pro. I found a bullet yesterday but its nothing like I found before. Its a shorter off white colored bullet. It believe has lead inside and feels like rock or something on the outside. Any thoughts to what it is.
