- Please join me and Reese Townes as we travel from Meadview Arizona down to see the Colorado river and explore the very exposed banks. We also drive to Peirces Ferry which is nearby.
You can check out Reese's TH-cam channel "Gold Seeker Adventures" here.

About Aquachigger:
I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my TH-cam "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

The duck just to happen to "find" food is one of the reasons I love Chigg's videos.
I was born in Vegas and would go fishing in Lake Meade , 1961-1966 . It brakes my heart to see it today . There is something about the desert mysterious and deadly .
Thank you, Chig, for making sure we see the beauty of Lake Mead while it still exists. It's very sad to see it in its current state, but still beautiful.
I worked at a marina when it started dropping. We had one of the bigger marinas on the lake . We had to move the marinas every two to three days to keep up with the drop in the water. All the marinas were doing whatever they could to keep up with it. Boat ramps were closing all around us. It is a sad site to see what the lake looks like now and knowing that it will never be the same again.
How about a little drive down to the lake with me and Reese?

Thanks for watching…. The Chigg
Which vest are you using? I’ve seen you wear in the past, it looks military and has US on right side
You sir are living the best life. Thanks for the glimpse means a lot
Chigg we had some of those ducks with a big pond. When they found out the neighbor had a creek they flew away. Yes they fly very well.
Such a Great Area to Explore…. Pearce Ferry Old Mormon Crossing ! ❤️
That would be interesting magnet fishing if it were allowed ... That's so cool! Another Camping 2022 playlist bonus vid! - Muddypaw :)
Just found your channel this week and I’ve watched so many videos, this is good stuff. Keep it up and stay safe out there .
It's worth remembering rivers like the one you were looking at can pull you in, down and under without any effort at all. Stay careful around them, Chigg.
Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE
Thanks Chigg for taking us along on another adventure 👍
Thank you so much. That was great seeing the area. . Still just beautiful. Some of Oregon looks like that. Eastern Oregon is a kind of desert ! Have to come our way some time. You’d love it. Be safe
Beautiful scenery but the lake makes me so sad to see it that low. I hope you have a blessed day and take care.
Get ready!! All that snow that your getting now has got to go somewhere in the spring.
Love your desert adventures. Thanks for the entertainment Chigg!
That was one lucky duck...that you came along, my friend. Not saying you fed him. 😉😊😎🙏
Thanks for taking care of that duck… I mean pointing him to a local food source 😏🦆
Cool video as always man 👌💚💛❤️👍
Thanks Chigg - never been there.....until now. Bless you and your family during the holiday. Of course all year round too. I been watching you vids for many moons now.
Beautiful day to be out there,hoping the lake comes back...don't you
When Chigg mentioned the river rapids my thought was, “send up the drone” then remembered, ooooh riiiight.
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
I am so happy the duck found some food :)
Nice to see that lake awesome place 👍
Good on ya letting the desert duck dine.
After your Lake Mead video the other day, I looked at the boat launch on Google Earth. I clicked back through time and watched the water levels rise.
That’s a neat place I may be wrong i can’t remember for sure but the B.A.S.S Anglers Society used to have tournaments on lake Mead if I’m remembering right that is. See y’all on the next one Chigg GOD BLESS
I breed Muscovy Ducks and they can fly very well 👍💚💛❤️
the bigger Vegas gets the smaller lake mead gets
I thought the same until reading a bit. Vegas uses way less than I thought it does. Do some checking, it might surprise you.
Lake Powell, that is upstream from Lake Mead, is currently filled to just 27 percent of capacity. Vegas doesn't get any water from it.
@@Bill-YellowDogWelding i didn't say the 2 were related. it's a correlation not a causation .
Wow!
More ⛳ courses 👌
It’s great that people follow the community guidelines on here. Most sites ain’t fit for a kid to listen to.
That lake is really down. I live near a man-made lake and it's also very low. It's a bit concerning that so many lakes and rivers are drying up.
This is a manmade lake also. A hundred years ago it was a river. I think they should have left it the way it was. So do the indians...
Thanks for the tour🦆🦆🦢
Good day to be a duck!!! Poor little feller....
You're quite close to Glen Canyon. I'd love to see you explore that area!
Yea - poor little Ducky well out of his natural habitat. It is incredible how low Lake Mead is & it does make me wonder just what Nevada & Arizona are doing about it?! Must be nerve-racking for the people dependant on that water supply. Always enjoy your exploits Out West & Down South (or North, depending on your perspective!!)
I wish he would have picked the duck up and taken him home.
@@cdd4248 I know - but he was a L O N G way from home! I wish people wouldn't dump their unwanted pets...
Love your videos
Great video agro trigger and merry Christmas from Bryer Floyd and May God Bless
i was in the ccc in ohio when i was 17 and 18 it was fun working on parks and what not
Thats South Cove on Lake Mead. The boat ramp was extended a couple of times with Pipe Mat -the last section before the drop off. Then the NPS closed that ramp for a while. You could try to launch kayak or small boat just north of the ramp, where you were in the beginning of the video but its rough going now. When the lake was higher a couple years ago I kayaked out of South Cove and went upstream (out to the right) a few miles. There were some great little coves with small sandy beaches hidden away. One spot looked like the Caribbean the water was so blue . Beautiful days camping with plenty of driftwood for a fire believe it or not ! Now that spot is 50-60 ft above the waterline.
Pearce Ferry is the pullout for a few River Outfitters that run the Colorado thru the Lower Grand Canyon hence that ramp. There is one major rapid downstream before the river empties into Lake Mead proper- was called Superimposition Rapid later renamed Pearce Ferry Rapid AND it has been un-runnable because of its incredible power and dangerous Hydraulics- you heard it in your video. The lake used to be navigable up into the river towards Pearce til just below tha rapid. Now the sediment has piled up so much, it a miles long slog of inches deep water impossible to get thru to get into the shallow canyon. Sadly the ramp closures have affected Meadview and Dolan Springs areas economically since fewer tourists, boaters and rafters come thru there now.
I wonder if it's filling back up now with the heavy snows up north?
While Lake Mead is making headlines for being so low, it's still over 250ft deep and covers 100s of miles. Think about that for a while.
awesome...!!!
Nice video, Beau.
Thanx chig
thank you ! Quack quack : )
I’m glad he got a meal 👍😁😊
"quack, damn it."
Very cool
Officer Stadanko would approve of feeding the duck.
The weather is changing again and soon all those lakes like Mead and Powell will refill.
Are all rivers and lakes receding? The Euphrates is almost dry and the river near where I live is down very low. What's going on?
Wish you could come to twinfalls idaho and see the falls.
I want to rockhound that area !
Loved it

Our neighbors have those ducks. They fly very good for being domestic animals.
You Can Look I'll Not Tell.😉👍✌.
Look how high we are!
Poor lonely dusk, sad when trash dump their companions.
That lake loses a little more water, you won't have to "hold your breath" to go detecting.
There’s Indian carvings on stones out there
Lucky ducky
I would have definitely used the metal detectors by the boat dock people drop stuff all the time putting and taking their boat out??
I think he's said before that you can't use metal detector on "Federal Land"
Where I live, Muscovy ducks are feral, and in abundance. We feed them animal crackers.
Feed a duck 1 cheeto and they send in the helicopters 🤦🏻♂️ 😁
Happy you did this before they banned filming.....
Just seen there is a filming ban for commercial purposes! What smart arse thought that one up!
@@richiedeville7583 its any filming at all ... They are trying to hide something
Looks your in fall out new Vegas..
It's sort of gross how quickly lake Mead is falling
🥰🦆
🦆🦆🦓⭐️
Hey Chigg
It's sad to see a beautiful lake just drying up.
Wow the water level dropped that low is concerning
I was at the lake in August 115 that day 🥵
Ashame the water is so low hopefully it will rise back up
😀
😊
Lake doesn't looklike much. Was looking at some real estate online in Meadview but I have real concern about groundwater levels as well.
Johnny Salami threw his associates in there. Watch out Chigg.
Mr. Chiggles!
Musgrove ducks are native to Peru and were domesticated by the Indigenous People of Peru.
I've seen em fly ,they were fast
There are still wild populations of Muscovy. But they are not protected by the migratory protection act. At least, not in the US. They are decent flyers, roosting, and good nester. Most people that raise them as pets or for meat, usually clip the flight feathers.
@@bryandorie_USNVet That still doesn't mean that they are native to Peru.
@@ThomasSmith-os4zc my comment wasn't meant to detract from your informative comment. I only attempted to relate the information to US viewers.
Poor duck💔
📍🚨🍕❤️📍
it basically drops 5ft per year. Scary
Is it safe to eat those mussels?
You might check into a rumor I heard if it's true put the date when this was filmed in discretion.
Head it's illegal to film atlake mead without a permit
I worked in the movie biz for a few years. Enough to learn that any commercial use of federal lands requires a permit. Has been that way since the mid-70s. Videos/photos for personal use are not commercial photography/film. Chigg is not charging a fee for us to watch his videos and he's not selling prints of his photos. His videos are "non-commercial" use, even though he has sponsors and can monetize. He's not selling anything to us. Hope that helps. - Muddypaw 🐾
That place has always been a desert and most of California, it should of never been damned up in the first place
Yep...
What no Bodies or bones ?
Thanks chigg. Enjoyed this.
HEEEEY, DO YOU BELIEVE IN CLIMATE CHANGE NOW? thanks Chigg for sharing this with us, you're awesome! (Glen).
No. There’s more to this lake than “climate change.”
This is a man made lake. They damned the river. Watering lawns in Las vegas isn't really climate change.
1 day ago? Wtf?
TH-camrs can hold videos as unlisted or private and publish them later. Trusted people or people with the link to the video can comment still.
That Duck needs to get a job.
Call a spade a spade...it's a ressivour not a lake.
