Hunting for FISH and metal detecting a High Sierra Mountain Lake 

Sure thing... What is that place in your Profile pic?

That is awesome Philip

Hi Robyn, I see what you mean, but you may be morbid, 😂 TYSM for coming along!

Hi Ellen, it is so good to hear from you, I am glad you enjoy the videos. I am sorry to hear you are home bound. I love the water also, especially being under it! : )

@@mokpot just keep doing what you do,enjoy your swim, dives for you and all of us that get so much pleasure watching with you. 🤗🧜‍♂️

Thanks Greg

Noted! Although there are a few dives already done that may not have longer sequences

So good to hear from another old school diver! You predate me, 1979 You know... I considered diving June lake several years ago... hmm...

I would be thrilled with 2 Mercs and some wheat pennies!

hi Debbie,

@@mokpot Hi yoself!!😜 Do you remember me? Also I was thinking that you might want to detect near boat ramps and under the docks…just a thought!

❤️I will take those hugs! I lived in AZ for a year when I was a kid.

You wouldn’t want to be here now🌡️🥵

Thanks James

Great! Thank you

Thanks Drew

Thanks for tuning in

They usually do!

Hi Nick, thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

Hello Anibal, Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

Chasing the fish was my favorite part of the dive. I was very fortunate to have had the camera on when I bumped into them

Simeon, that is pretty cool! let me know how it goes.

: ) Thanks so much.

Great!

Thanks David

Thanks 👍

Hello Kentucky Tammie!

I know right! The old square nails sound even better on the PI machine

Thank you!

Hi Shannon, finding the older stuff (even old square nails) is the most fun.

Good to hear!

Thanks Richey

Thanks!

I am pleased you are tuning in Kelly

Fun idea! 🎉

I am glad you enjoyed the video Eric

TY Shirley

Josey! great to hear from you!

Hey Greg, A while back I gave away about 75 lbs. of various lead, and still have another 100+ There is so much random lead in rivers and lakes...

@@mokpotThat's for sure Mark. Its real sad to see that much lead in the water. No wonder everything feels like it is dying. If nitrate and other heavy metals aren't enough. There has to be a better way. G.

More to come!

Hey, you are so sweet. I greatly appreciate your ability to be easily entertained by the round-ups at the end. LOL 🙂

@@mokpot haha, what can I say…the fish also entertained me, that’s how I roll. 🤣🤣

Now you are talking! That would be awesome!

Good idea

🤔 i wonder if collectors of cans, bottles, and other collectable items will continue?

Glad you enjoy it!

Thanks Steve

Glad you enjoyed it

So much fun!

Lol it amazes me how many times people comment before they watch the video fully. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching the video.

You are the second person to see the Cat! My fish friend was there for a free and easy lunch of worms

Thanks. That trail certainly had me thinking of just that.

Me too! It is good to hear from you!

Could Possibly be some gold in it. I’ve been fishing a river for 33 years and a stretch of j in t is only accessible by boat or unless you have permission to go on the private owned land. Anyway I know the owner personally and it’s never an issue. So I took a guy who teaches geology and we went to one of my favorite spots and he was like holy crap! I was like ya you see those steelhead down there huh!! He was like no! He’s all do you know what is inside this rock? I was like YEAH!! Plenty more rock of that rock he was all here watch this and HOLY GOD MY LANTA!! I’m like is just that rock only specifically he’s all showing me what to look for. I’m like there soooo many of those!! Well not any more 😂!!! But yes gold sold old placer gold

Contain gold? Like nuggets?

@@garystevens7575 Cool

Great, Thanks!

Cool! I have a fishing Kayak, I use it to Scuba Dive from lol

Good to hear from you Tinman

i am happy you liked the video!

That would be pretty cool… I found one once, in my back yard of all places

Haha… they were fish, the larger ones were camera shy or I had the camera off when they appeared. Thanks for tuning in Jim

Thanks!

Thank you!! Like I'd said earlier.. your doing a killer job! If there's any neg comments? Screw em!.. this is your journey that we re all lucky enough to be able to watch doing what you love to do.. thank you for everything. N.t. g.v. CA.

Easy to use, easy to learn the tones….

Yes it is a big tree for sure… I wonder how long ago it fell, was it laying there when General Washington was inaugurated as President?

I really enjoy your Dives, and thank you for taking us along ... I look forward to getting the alert , that you have another adventure ... Just seeing the things that's actually, never been filmed.... is really excited! I hope somebody contacts you to help recover in some way, those Huge Trees, gotta be worth lots of money!! The recoveries would be super videos also.!!!

Will do

Hi Nic, at 4:59, you might be looking at all the debris along the right side of the log? That is a collection of loose branches and pine cones mostly, all on one side due to… a slight sloping bottom the tree catches them, keeping them from going deeper perhaps? Waves? That tree may have been laying there for hundreds of years. A hot rock, is one that is highly mineralized, usually of Iron Oxides and sets of a metal detector. It is always good to hear from you !

Hi Alana! I think it is an older... late 1800's site as well as current, so the old beavertail pull tabs and square nails promise the possibility of cool stuff. a couple of years ago I found two older silver rings here.

Karen… you want me to give you a wedding band? This is so sudden.

@@mokpot HAHAHA!!!! I just like the ring.

Also the rainbows may be following u around bcuz u were stirring up the sediments and the fishies was just looking to see if any goodies came out. Kinda like if u had chickens and u started stirring up dirt the chickens will come by to see if any bugs appears

Interesting idea…

Thank you

Garbage is everywhere

@@mokpot Yes, unfortunately !

Hello Tuk Tuk

Thanks for turning in Stanley

The DPV (scooter) is about neutral buoyancy, I usually dive a little overweight. It may be 2 pounds or so, when I am metal detecting, or when I am diving in a river with current. I do end up heavy though by the time I pick up a bunch of stuff, but never so much that it becomes an issue, maintaining neutral buoyancy is not a problem, my BCD (buoyancy, compensator) has more than enough lift to maintain my neutral buoyancy.

Trout of some sort I think… I may have to get educated on this subject.

Thanks

I tried a pin pointer in the past, but iI still need to fan the sand and gravel out, I can not dig through with my hands. I realize it is difficult to see, it is for me as well. LOL , I want to share my experience! Thanks for taking time to write

I always see fishermen…

It is impossible to say, the coolest has to be a pre 1920 wooden speed boat. Most expensive gold emerald ring maybe. Mostly, just hundreds of great relaxing , live in the moment, dives. With friends and solo.

Lol… no, much to my disappointment, no golfball. I may quit diving if this continues😂

Awesome. ty

I have a Minelab Xcal also, but have not really used it yet

I have a few videos on the channel doing that And another one coming soon

Or stand up....

LOL. yes it is a lot of gear, I walk to the water carefully (me plus 100+ pounds of gear) Once in the water I float!

@@mokpot Do you have some kind of attachment for the detector that snap on your gear while you are breezing through the water ? I bet you are wopped after a day out doing this . I am going to the dive shop this week to see what I need to get re cert thanks for the reply Mark

Hi Jennifer, any suggestions what I could attach? 😂

@@mokpot haha....not sure you seem to have everything you could ever need but was watching with my 3 year old grandson and he said you need an Octonaut... LMAO...it is some little cartoon he watches...

How cute! I am happy to know I produce children friendly content

Haha..yes, he loves to watch with me!!

Hi Sam, I am sorry to say that I need to keep my locations to myself. In the past I have shared the locations and I have lost many of my favorite hunting spots. So now when I take time to explore and find these cool places, I feel the need to keep them to myself so I can continue to make videos. I hope you understand.

The Garret Sea Hunter 2 is a PI machine, so there is not a numerical ID. It “sounds” like a solid hit, something like a silver ring, but not quite. Yes, they all seem to sound about the same, i was fairly certain that the last few I found were actually hot rocks before I dug them.

I am incredibly strong..😂. Actually my gear typically runs about 100 lb or more and I just take it easy, slow and careful

Yes, Although to remove or disturb them is illegal in California. So… even if they are in a river bottom and will soon be lost forever to the ever changing bottom… 🙈

@@mokpot That makes no sense. What a bum!

Well. I am often not fish focused. I do at times make an effort

I have not... Did you lose some?

@@mokpot i had no clever comeback. The answer is no. I do have one more question, even though there are no sharks do you ever get thallasphobia ?sorry if i butchered spelling.

@@mokpot probably a dumb question but i lived in maui and took my buddies bait on a surfboard about 500 yards out and looked down into the deepest blue water and kinda panicked. Dont know if that was thalasophobia but it scared the shit out of me

No, I look into the deep blue and see opportunity... Seriously. I love it

@@mokpot good for you. I think i could do tahoe but the ocean not a chance. Great videos

Thank you Kathleen

Wow… good question, about a year ago I purged about 150 pairs. From this year so far… maybe 50 pairs

@@mokpot I know what you give your friends

No, I do not know anything about giant, salamanders, or even small salamanders… Other than they kind of creep me out

I DO! great find TY. I love finding faces in nature, this is the biggest yet!

I added your find (with credit) to the description

Lol. I saw a turtle shell. 🐢😊

@@mokpot There are "ROCKS" here on guam that are considered LANDMARKS including; "BEAR ROCK" (HUGE, standing up on 2 legs,) "CAMEL ROCK" (2 Humps, where the US landed in WW11, and my favorite; "TURTLE ROCK" (only visible from the sea with a detailed head and even eyes & mouth, all in scale and in EXACT placement.

Yes, great fish tacos at The Bridge Tender in Tahoe City

👍🏻

I don’t think the Deus is rated for the depths I dive

I checked, the deus is rated to 60 feet, the Garret seahunter 2 is rated to 200 feet

The pin pointers are rated to 10 feet
