*VIDEO* - LIVE HOTCHKISS SHELL RECOVERY FROM RIVER

[Valley Ranger]

Here's a short video with some still shots of recent Civil War river recoveries. Included is a live dig and recovery of an unexploded Hotchkiss shell. I've got 5 full day hunts scheduled for October and November so I should have some more video soon. Thanks for taking a look.

Some nice finds Richard. The Hotchkiss came out looking good. Very enjoyable video. WTG, Q.

BTE- The pot scraper looks a lot like part of a currycomb.

Thanks Q. Could be right on the pot scraper. Rob Langdon leaned toward the pot scraper - hard to say for sure. Thanks for looking!

Uncle Zeke: "WOW!! THAT was CLOSE!! Good thing it never exploded! I would've never had any grandkids! "

Uncle Zebediah: " Yeah, now you will and the lazy, no good, shiftless skunk will probably be out here diggin' up that piece o trash! "

LOL

Who says that big iron in creeks is not worth digging! Nice shell it will clean up nice.Did your buddy say how dry the powder was? Nice video.

What was left was pretty well soaked, I believe. This one could be seen as it was only partly buried in shallow water. I've also found bullets just lying on the bottom of the river in plain sight. Amazing.

Thanks for the video OS! Love the live shell, and the river hunting looks to be tremendous fun!
