Metal detecting a Civil War musket...
Loading...
Uploaded by aquachigger on Oct 16, 2011
D'oh! I accidentally deleted this video and am reposting it. It is from the summer of 2010....Today I found this complete Civil War musket in the river. This is the second musket I have found at this site in two years. Interestingly, both muskets had the barrels bent in precisely the same manner. Sorry about the audio, I must have had my finger over the mic.

.....@brandonparker4u Ohio had huge numbers of soldiers that served in the war. You will have a chance to find relics at any of the old homes where one might have lived. Plus, there are many camps in the state you can research. I wish you luck!

Exquisite find my friend! I am 15 years old, and you have inspired me to go hunting for Civil War relics, I have been wanting to search for em but hesitated.. Also, I live in Ohio so, its gonna be difficult... But if I find anything i'll be sure to share the video with you aquachigger

What happens when a .58 caliber minnie bullet is fired from a Civil War rifle?by bloghistorian20,190 views
Im a huge fan of you aquachigger just 15, i just bought my fight metal detector today because u have inspired me. Will i have good findings if i used to find old arrowheads in my yard?

@SuperAlexMoore Thanks! The more you go out and look, the better your "luck" will be. Keep your eyes open for arrowheads, but because they are not metal, the detector will not find them. Good luck out there!

do u recored and catalog each find so that the info can be used for reaserch

@willam1992 I do. But to be honest, stuff like this musket could have washed down the river from miles above. So, the location of the find can be of limited value.

We found some in the water and they were all bent as well. An old timer had told us when they were reissued supplies they would hit the barrell on a tree bend it and throw it in the river so it could not be used against them by the enemy.

.....@crash14me2 I'd believe that as I have found several other barrels there that are bent just like that. The wood was gone on them, but I did manage to get most of the pieces to them too. Thanks for the info!
