- My buddy jonathan and I went scuba diving at a Disc Golf course to search for a lot of discs, which we indeed found. We uncovered 55 discs from the murky water.

When you pick up the disc underwater and all the dirt comes off all smoky looking is so satisfying.
next time could you give us an over head view of the discs? im just curious what brands and discs they are. otherwise great video.
Sure!
You did the dirty work, so they are your discs now as far as I'm concerned. My disc goes into a pond, I know whats required to retrieve it. If I leave it, its not mine anymore. Normally when someone calls me with a disc they found that I lost, I tell them to enjoy it. Mostly mark my discs so if I leave it behind by accident and realize a couple holes later, I can go looking for it while I'm still out there, its an easy conversation.
And that makes sense to me, but there’s been so many guys that got so pissed so I’m gonna make sure I try to return every one that I find from now on. My latest disc golf video I didn’t keep a single one.
@@Benjamminoutdoors Yea man, it’s a pretty touchy subject in the disc golf community. Just do what your gut tells ya. I’m of the opinion that if someone has to go to a ton of effort to retrieve a disc (like a pond), it’s yours. Now personally, I always return finds when I can, hoping for good karma. But if I sink a disc in the water, as far as I’m concerned, that disc is no longer mine. At the very least, returning water discs should pay out for a “finders fee”. Just my two cents
@@Cdubp01 yeah I know that now, last dive it did I gave every single one I found to the course designer and their team. I didn’t really care to keep or sell them I just did this for fun so just had them sitting in a box for about a year by the time I posted this and it blew up I didn’t have anymore but some of these guys were definitely super triggered. I know now and won’t do it again.
Dude keep them. You earned them. Water is fair game. The people complaining are a holes. They are not entitled to your labor. That's work.
Wow I thought when I bought a disc gator and some waders that I was going all out for my disc water retrieval needs. You guys don't mess around! I lost my black putter in a river recently after air balling a putt, and fishing around in that water felt pretty gross. Sharp drop off from the bank to about my waist in about 7 or 8 feet, plus all the silt billowing everywhere anytime I took a step made the rescue effort that much more arduous. I had to wait until nightfall so I could see below the surface without any reflections from natural light. It took me a couple attempts but I did eventually find it standing on its side. I'm glad I found it when I did because heavy rains came in soon after and the water level went up a foot or two and the current could have taken it away. Glad you got to get some of them back to the owners!
I feel that dude. I lost my leopard 🐆 on a dogleg hole with the whole right side in water with the basket sitting on a peninsula. Tree rejected me straight into the water about 15ft from shore.. I walked around in there for an hour looking for that disc. Only worth it because it was my first ever disc.
At 0:50 you found poison ivy...
Lol
I thought that was but didn’t want a plant expert to attack me lol
That's my maverick at 2.24! You guys texted me about it but I live 2 hours away and didnt like the disc enough to get it back. Hopefully someone's out there slinging it!
Thanks for finding it!
Nice! Well someone is enjoying somewhere!
When I lived in Berkeley, CA, we had a homeless fellow make a raft and he would use a pole to very adeptly catch the bottom rim and spin the disc to the surface. He would then sell the discs back to us for a few bucks each. Seemed more than fair. You always had first dibs on your disc.
There's a guy in Temple TX that used to do hunt disc's all day and sell em on the weekends. I've bought more than 1 of mine back from him for sure. Always felt it was a fair trade off myself, he did the work for me so I had no issues rewarding him with some cash or smoke
You may have already picked up on this, but I just want to reiterate that in the disc golf community it's bad etiquette to dive for discs and sell them without attempting to text the numbers on the back of the discs. If you don't get a response within a couple days then it's technically yours and if they do respond, just ask for some money to cover your out of pocket expenses. If someone really wanted their disc back they'd be more than willing to pay $5-10.
Best of luck to you and your channel!
Steven Crout yeah I learn about this after posting this video.... I’ll make sure to put forth the effort next time. I’m actually diving a course in north Alabama this week, the owner seemed pretty cool about it.
@@Benjamminoutdoors me and a few buddies went disc diving at UAH a few years ago. We just went in a few feet and felt around with our feet and came up with over 70 discs. With the gear you have im sure you could get way more there. We did end up giving about half of them back when we called the numbers, but it was still a real nice number of discs
Darrias nice!! I just dove at Kudzu cove in guntersville yesterday, and UAH won’t give me permission unfortunately. But I may bother them more and see if they give in.
@@Benjamminoutdoors we didnt even ask, we just did it and they didnt bother us lol. Prolly not the best idea but it worked!
Darrias that’s what I did in this video and I got a lot of crap, so it’s just easier for me to ask then no one can say anything.
I lost many in the waters but find many as well (not a single one of mine has been returned as of yet). If I find 20 discs, only 5 respond and then only 3 of them will actually pick it up (not going to bring it to them). Truth of the matter is, I know that I can potentially lose a disc and for that reason will throw a floating disc. Floating discs are not expensive and neither are retrievers but if it's more important for you to buy a bunch of drivers for 175ft holes instead, so be it.
I like how you just reach right in, no hesitation, to grab that blue disc surrounded by poison ivy
Quite short hole and most disc looks like to be drivers.
Mr. Wizeguy well in the hole #1 is short but there’s alway #3 that comes back across it and that one is very long.
I saw 1 mid that I can remember. A short 3 shouldn't need drivers unless it's mostly new players that use a driver for every tee.
Great service to the sport guys!
Yea, trespassing and then stealing. Great service to the sport of disc golf.
Enjoyed the video! Don't let these haters ruin your fun :D
Good on you for returning all the discs later.
I found 32 when the local park let me snorkel in the pond - two were mine, returned 13 with names, let the local club pick through for THEIR OWN discs. Kept about a dozen. I'm intermediate or so - what to do with four Bosses!!!
IMO - Any disc with a name or number that you don't make an effort to return is stolen.
Sure it's nice to get discs back that you 'loved so much'.
Maybe shouldn't have abandoned them in the first place.
Everyone had the same opportunity to get in that water that these dudes did. Saying there’s someone designated to go out there and clean it up obviously hasn’t in a while. Most the people that are mad in the comments are old gripers and can’t throw their discs anyways. Y’all deserve them for getting in that nasty water haters are just mad they didn’t get them first as they would do the same thing y’all did with them.
This video was lots of fun to watch! Thanks for making it! :)
Thanks! Glad it was!
Awww yeaaaa great video very cool!
Fantastic finds, glad you could reunite some players w their lost souls.
One person 😭 a lil sus
I have waded for them. The ones I find are usually stained pretty bad. But they still play the same😊
Not sure if you noticed but at 0:49 you stick your hand straight into poison ivy to get that disc. Probably why it was left there.
kinda sad when a disc that is designed to fly through the air ends up drowning in a pond.
0:47 *sticks hand dIReCtly into poison ivy* I cringed
Lol I’m immune
@@Benjamminoutdoors... for now.
@@Benjamminoutdoors you're not immune to poison ivy you bozo. You're not allergic to it. Big difference.
Christopher Burns lol I’m joking, Im not immune But as long as i clean off I’m good.
@@burns1210 Damn boi you triggered or what?
4:15 digging them floating A1 forehands😂
Nice video. I liked the climb up the water spout and pick up 55 discs parts the best.
Hey guys I’m not a huge disc golf player, I’m kind of new to the sport I had absolutely no clue people got so offended over people not returning a $10-15 disc, I seriously didn’t think that $10-15 would matter but clearly I was wrong, I’m sorry in the future I will make sure to return ALL the disc. I am going to make a dive next week at a course that gave me permission and I will be giving every disc back to the owner.
I am not offended... plus if they don't text you back, then they don't care. If you want to spend the time and effort getting them, go for it. I never will...ya know!
Jake P well thanks, but there are a few guys that got so mad they called the guy that’s in charge of this course and he friended me on FB and even threaten to like sue or something lol
@@Benjamminoutdoors here's the way I look at it. If you lose a disc in the woods and spend 15 minutes looking for it and can't find it, I would love for someone to text me if they stumble upon it. However, if I dump a disc in a pond and don't want to get wet to going after it, then it's fair game. Everyone who threw into that pond knew exactly where their disc was and they made the choice that getting wet wasn't worth $10-15 that it costs to replace the disc.
@@YeattsFamily there is a no trespassing sign posted at the pond and the sportsplex director has a specific guy who comes in and skims the pond for discs because the guy will return them. so i guess fuck all the guys who follow the rules huh?
@@Jonnyringgo how am I supposed to know that this specific course had no trespassing signs and a dedicated skimmer who returns found discs? I was speaking in generalities. Also, the pond skimmer guy doesn't seem to be doing that great of a job if they grabbed 55 discs with many of them being near the edge of the water.
The best way to find them is to feel with ur feet because barely any are on the top
No mention of connecting with the local club?
nah he only returned one disc to someone out there already playing and he kept the rest. said it wasnt worth his time to call all the numbers and return them since he took the risk trespassing and using his gear,
@M. Christ lmaooo why are you so mad
Want your discs back? Write your phone number under the rim or whatever and give a reward when someone found it and calls you. I've lost lots of discs and ~90% returned this way.
check the comments. he said it wasnt worth his time to call all the numbers since he took the time trespassing and getting them out.
AJ Destroyer has me drooling
Just an after thought from a disc golf lover, most disc golf players love to see what kind of disc your pulling out of the pond, just for our curiosity, like just to see if there’s anything rare or pre flight numbers, and when you pull one up, and only give us a half glance at the stamp on it, it’s kind of a tease :/ I kept watching to see at the end if you showed us what all discs you found, and you didn’t. Then I felt like a kid you take to a candy store just to look at everything and then leave without buying anything. Lol. Not hating, just next time let’s see what those discs are. You can show the camera what it is right after you grab it while your still under water, simple as that! Other wise awesome video man, i wish I could scuba and go do the same thing
Lol sorry bro, next time I will!
Benjamminoutdoors idk what area of the us you are in but there are so many courses with big ponds in Texas, I know of at least 10 different ponds you could hit all within a 30 mile radius
Ryan Hudson sounds awesome! I’m actually in central Florida now but if I can get big on TH-cam I’ll come out that way!
Can you share how you get rid of the smell these water discs all seem to have? All the ones I recover are super funky. Great haul btw!
Hmm I didn’t have that problem, but I’d imagine soaking them in a household cleaner.
Vinegar and water.
FlyinPhynix FPV I soak them in laundry detergent
Where I live there is a course called Seymour lake park and there is guy that is there 3 times a week and finds discs in a pond there, everyone calls him scuba mike
lol nice!
M. Christ That’s pretty cool, I actually I’m going to a course in North Alabama This upcoming week, I talked to the owner and there is some designated people that give the discs back👌🏽
M. Christ lol you know scuba mike?
Disc golfers throwing into the water: ahhh, that sucks. Oh well, only like a $15 disc.
Disc golfers seeing this: OMG THAT IS FUCKING STEALING OBVIOUSLY EVERYONE WAS GOING TO COME BACK AND GET THEIR DISCS!!!!!
What discs are you throwing that are only worth $15? 😂
how many out of the 55 had names and numbers on them
The trouble these guys went through, in my mind they earned them. Also nice to see they made an effort to return them.
They didnt though. They returned one disc to a guy that happened to be out there. They kept the other 54 discs that some had names and numbers. The pond has a no trespassing sign because the sportsplex director has someone specifically go in and fish the discs out so they will be returned so this situation doesnt happen
@@Jonnyringgo lol obviously they haven’t been out there in a while….. stop being a griper and learn to throw your discs better dude. If they have enough confidence to get in that nasty water and feel around in the silt that discs have probably been sitting in for months they deserve them. Anyone who loses a disc will tell you unless it’s an ace disc or something crazy it’s free game. Anyone else had the same opportunity they did. People like you cry over a piece of plastic littered in the water. Congrats for these dudes cleaning the pond up for who knows how many more are buried under all that silt
Omg yall are at the Opelika sports plaex
Awesome vid and awesome job guys!
Yep. Trespassing and stealing. AWESOME job guys!
There should be drinking game for every time you hear, "Woohoo"!
Didn’t find a green Daedalus or Orange gladiator in that pond by chance?
Not that I know of, we found a bunch but I’m sure there’s still a lot in there.
So satisfying
Yo you put your arm all up in some poison ivy when you grabbed that blue disc at the beginning of the video 😅
Anything for youtube 😏
my be should relocate that disc golf basket not near the water if its in a bad spot
what kind of scuba certs would I need to do this?
Was that Tumble Tree DGC in Opelika, AL? Looked like the pond at Hole #2.
Dude that’s pretty sick! I wish I scuba into some of my pounds and find some too :)
I got a pond by me with probably way more discs in it than this. Gonna have to get some scuba gear
You guys are awesome thank you
My dads disc went into a creek and I got to hang off of a tree branch to get it
Here in central Indiana we created a lost and found FB page. If you did the same you could post them all on there and if they want it back they will have to come to you to get it. I know that you find a lot of plastic and that can be hard to keep up with but it feels good to get them back to the owners if possible
I know I returned a few to a guy we ran across on the course when I was there, but I live 7 hrs from this course.
Jealous man, what state? I'm always worried about finding the wrong gator where i'm at gnome sayin
I was in Alabama here.
Tumble Tree course.
Omg that nuke with a guy with a gas mask on it...I have that exact disc and ironically it's at the bottom of a pond right now in Michigan lol
I like what you guys did at the en
What course did you get to dive at in North AL? That’s where I live. Both courses in my hometown are near or on the Tennessee River
I dove at kudzu cove at lake guntersville, I posted it a few weeks back!
nice :) I hope you called the numbers on those that were marked though. I have just 5 dics in my bag so it really made my day when someone reunited me with a lost Saint like that. It's been in woods for almost 2 months.
Great video!
Was there a certain disc that went into the water more than others or was it mix?
ok.. so how many did u call or return with names and numbers on them !?
They returned one and kept the rest. He said next time he finds some he’ll call the owners. But he’s keeping these
This is rly entertaining haha
Thanks! Subscribe for more! I’m alway finding treasure!
How long were you guys down there for? Beautiful haul!
Reach your hand right into the poison ivy
If you leave your disc in the water, you are a polluter and deserve to lose your disc. I would never expect to get a disc back but appreciative when it does come back around.
Any unclaimed prodigy?
Nice! Think I’d sh$t a brick if I saw a dead body in der 😲. One guy was attacked by a gator in Clearwater FL trying to retrieve his disc... well you know how crazy they are down there!
& now ya gotta watch out for that toxic algae 😱
He throw better discs from water than I do on the tee pad.
Dangggg so many discs, I forgot how many we found!
Jonathan Bizilia 😕
I want to see the cafe racer build
Built From The Bottom it’s coming along nicely
so what was your return percentage?
Not much, I didn’t get around to returning a lot of them. Mostly cause my schedule didn’t allow, but next time I go imma make sure that’ll be 100%
M. Christ LOL you don’t know me, at that time I worked offshore so I would come home for a week or less and Then I would go offshore and work 2-4 months and then the process would just repeat so yes My schedule is very hectic and I rarely got to see friends and family so I didn’t focus on returning a disc because of that, And I’m going to a disc off course this upcoming week and since I don’t live there the owner said he would return them for me.
@@Benjamminoutdoors but you had the time in your "hectic" schedule to go fish discs out the pond that didnt belong to you to begin with.
Jonathan Bell uhhh yes, after a couple months of working 100+ hours a week, NO DAYS OFF, with no usable WiFi or phone signal and seeing no one but just your coworkers in the open ocean for months it’s nice to relax a little bit, I wouldn’t expect someone like you to know what that’s like.
@@Benjamminoutdoors oh man you are SUCH a hard worker. So much that you have to use that to justify your petty actions. Hahaha. Still doesnt give you the right to go trespassing and not make sn effort to return someones belongings.
As some one who's thrown 7 disc into water only playing 5 games of disc golf after watching this video my mind is saying. "I'm never going to financially recover from this"
Sweet video! That’s tumble tree in opelika!? Pretty cool to recognize a course on a video. Disc golf isn’t too big in Alabama. I’ve been driving to Mississippi it Florida to compete in tournaments.
Last month I lost a 4x undertaker in there (no name yet bc I didn’t know if it would make the bag). Now I realize undertaker is my favorite disc. Any chance y’all are gonna do this again, or have recently? I’d love to join or video for you
Thanks! Well unfortunately I did this without the permission of the sportsplex so the guy that’s in charge is mad because I had a couple people that saw this video and complain to him. All that said even though I’m gonna be returning every disc that I find from now on he’s probably still doesn’t want me to come.
Visibility in that lake looks so bad I'm surprised you found them so easily
Found most of them from just feeling around with my hands.
I’ve played this course, it’s a little away from auburn
It’s only like 10 mins if you hope on 85
@@Benjamminoutdoors what kind of scuba certifications would I need to get started in this?
@@blee0021 for recreation? Just open water scuba cert.
I know exactly where y'all were. I threw two discs in there. You probably got them 😂 That's at the Opelika Sports Plex right?
Lol yeah haha
@M. Christ bro they were in a pond why are you so upset
I literally lost a gold Innova Valkyrie in that pond the day that you posted this... Let me know if you guys do this again!
I might go again sometime I just live 7 hrs away now 😕 I’ll let you know, does it have your number on it ?
@@Benjamminoutdoors Yeah it does have my number. Thanks!
Whats the name of that smile disc😍
Nice
I hope you got reward money for the ones you returned.
I cleaned out my local pond and found over 300 disc! Such a awesome video man!
Nice!!
There's a guy in Mobile Duds that dives in all the local disc golf ponds and posts the discs on his Facebook page. Duds is a hero. Unless you guys tried to contact some of the numbers on those discs then you should probably take down this video!
I’m not gonna take it down, but I’m going to be returning the discs from now on you can see my latest disc golf dive video I actually gave them all to the course director so he could distribute them to the owners.
@@Benjamminoutdoors that's good to hear. If they are blank they are fair game but I would still not feel as if I was entitled to other people's plastic.
@@BigMikeDiscGolf yea you only feel like you're entitled to this guys' labor
If u don't go after it you give up not everybody has a phone, and are is a situation with a roof over the head or job do to health reason
sincerly starfire
I wonder if there are any fish in there
There wasn’t, but there was snakes and leeches 😂
@@Benjamminoutdoors the things you dont want lol of course well you guys did the right thing good job
Did you return them?
Some of them, not all and yes I know I should have.
@M. Christ Feel free to get in there yourself next time and return everyones discs.
If it’s your local disk golf course contact them back
It’s not my local course, I live 7 hrs from here.
Yea this is my local course. We would love if you bring the discs back down and put them in the lost and found so people can get them back instead of taking them
2:44 🐟
I’m surprised people catch stuff like that😂 I didn’t even see that lol
I'll give you $20 for that one at the end that yall forgot to wash.
👍
You used scuba gear for this...
Yes, didn’t realize it was that shallow.
Hopefully you can call the #s on the back
A few had numbers but I ain’t really got the time to call 15-20 different numbers and try to ship/ meet to return a $15 dollar disc and most weren’t local numbers either.
Benjamminoutdoors Not calling the number is generally regarded as a soft sort of theft by disc golfers. Even out of a pond.
@@jcassady meh. If they did the work diving and finding them and the people who threw gave up and left them there then I think they earned what they found
gear well my diving gear cost over $1000 and cost me money every dive, if they wanted they could have gotten in. I DID return a few to the owners that I ran across on the course AND I ALWAY return what I can if it’s anything of value like an Apple Watch (which I found and returned) but I also live 7 hrs away from this course so I’m not in the area all the time.
Had time to dive for them and make a video but not time to return them!?! No lost and found at the course for you to leave them with?? I dunno just bad vibes man!!! Seems like because you have the gear your like hey i know where i can get some disc. I would happily pay for you to ship something that I lost or tell you to keep it or donate it but not caring to give people that option then why dive in the first place let alone post it on TH-cam. Even those with numbers be like hey found your disc 5/10 bucks you can have it back cost me money to dive for them its only fair. Or get contracted by the course itself to reimburse your time and equipment. Only part I don't care for in disc golf community too many finders keepers attitudes. I found over 100 disc last season turned them all in but 1 the owner replied to my text keep it I hate that disc anyways.
Amount of disc 800 dollars
Amount for scuba gear 3000 dollars
End result -1200 dollars
Was it worth.it HELL YEAH IT IS
If only people quit throwing drivers on 280 foot holes.
@Ryan Anderson I mean if you get your desired outcome then, Thats what works for you. But there are discs designed better for shots in that range. I digress though, I cant just what works for you.
@Ryan Anderson 300 on in should be pretty attainable with throwing a putter. Or a light throw with a heavy fade with a mid. 6/7/8 speeds 350-400. 9/10/12+ for 400+. Honestly I dont get 14+ speed drivers.
@Ryan Anderson Neither do I! Discs do depends on a ton of variables. Too many for me to judge! Type of plastic, weight, altitude, air density. What works just works! I bite my tongue!
Where do brain eating amoebas come from? Just kidding. Nice haul!
Don’t mind the haters. It’s finders keepers. You did the work!
Yeah, I know where you're at and I've lost a couple disc in that pond. Hope you're trying to return disc that have phone numbers on them!
It would have been to see the tee pad and maybe a few common mistakes made for hazard shots.
How come I never do this?!? This looks like a super easy way to get discs!!
Lol idk but a lot of people wouldn’t want to, I actually had leaches on me after these dives....
@@Benjamminoutdoors oh really? Hmm, well if you have a wetsuit, you should be good right? I wish I could go diving but I don't have the gear. Where was that pond located?
If you take an estimate of $15,- per disc you get over $800,- worth of discs right there.
Definitely not worth 1000 but cool
Lol if all of them were $18 each then yes... I guess I exaggerated a little
New* 18 dollars new*
You’d find more if you didn’t disturb so much sediment
There’s was vegetation so I had to feel under it, this dive was more by feel than by sight. If I relied just on sight I would’ve missed 80% of them cause they were under THICK sediment and grass.
Imma big disc golf player u think I could get some I don't have that much
A couple of those were mine that you pulled out with no phone call ever made to my phone... with info on the face of the disc. You’ll get a phone call soon Ben.
I’m sorry, but I’m not ganna Call 50 #s over an item that costs $15 or less, If you lost an iPhone or Apple Watch then it’s worth every second to return it. if you REALLY cared that much you would have gone in after them just sayin’.
Some of us DO CARE that much as some of those discs are worth more than that. We care but we also follow the rules that are clearly posted about not going into the pond
Blake Vinyard well if you cared so much but not enough to get in that’s not my problem and don’t expect to get them back if I did the work and risked getting in. And ALL the golfers I came across I asked them if they lost some and I returned all that I could that way.
Benjamminoutdoors sorry I followed the posted rules and didn’t want to get prosecuted for trespassing.
Boo hoo
bad disc golf etiquette... smh !
Dont worry I won’t do it again, new to the sport. My latest disc golf video I returned all the ones I found in that video.
I hope you returned all of those discs to their rightful owners 🥴
Shut up Meg
Nope.. sold them on Ebay.. slimy bastard
