Biography[edit]

According to a Tubefilter interview, Beau Ouimette grew up on a farm in West Virginia.[2]
In May 2012, Ouimette and Dan Frezza uncovered two Lee–Enfield rifled muskets in a river bank.[8]
In April 2014, Ouimette and his wife, who's a veterinarian, found an injured baby fox while searching for gems in West Virginia. The fox was female, about a month-old, severely dehydrated, and had dried blood on its neck. Ouimette and his wife took care of the fox for a few days before dropping it off at the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center in Virginia.[9][10]
In March 2017, Ouimette metal detected an American Civil War musket, which he, after having it x-rayed, found to have at least six bullets inside of.[11][lower-alpha 1]
Ouimette explored an abandoned 18th-century stone and log house, the exploration video having been uploaded to YouTube on March 12, 2017. He broke into the house's cellar, whose doorway was locked and blocked on both sides of the door. Before leaving, he found the corpse of a large bird, and simultaneously, heard a loud unexplained noise, which can be heard in the video. He left the room shortly afterward out of fear.[13]
In June 2017, Ouimette uncovered two stolen knives from the Antietam Creek. He was able to return them to their owner, Rick Hockensmith, who had been robbed of ten knives in total. Ouimette was able to recover more of the knives through metal detecting and magnet fishing in the river.[6]
In March 2018, Ouimette uncovered a Native American arrowhead in the muddy bank of a lake.[14]
In 2019, Ouimette presented with Rick Edwards in River Hunters, an eight-part mini-series by History UK. In the series, Ouimette and Edwards searched waterways of the United Kingdom for significant archaeological finds.[3][4][2] The episodes' locations include Durham, England and Barnard Castle.[5]
In October 2019, upon reaching one million subscribers on YouTube, Ouimette was interviewed by Tubefilter. Ouimette stated that he is working on a proposal for a treasure-hunting TV series on Discovery Channel.[2]
