Doooood at 12 mins in the video that calcified rock looks like an elephant and next to it looks like a monkey head have you discovered an important new dig site cant be a coincidence surely please take a closer look
Mmm, Or are these slabs the bedrock from long ago, that had boulders on them being ground round under water, wearing holes in the rock, The river digs deeper, leaving the bedrock exposed ??
chigg in the rain in a desert canyon.......these are the episodes I'll put on and watch for years to come, just enjoying the vibe , reminds me again how much of an inspiration you have been to my TH-cam career. thank you !!
Thank you so much for bringing us along on these explores. In reality, I know I will never be able to visit those places myself so the next best thing is to tag along with the Chigg! Your enthusiasm and appreciation for EVERYTHING is infectious! Happy trails Chigg...
Once more you did us proud. A very great adventure. Things that I will never see. Thanks for taking this olde bloke along. Lost mines here in Australia are not too far far fetched as after WWI when 65,000 of my countrymen didn't come home a lot of payable gold mines were never reopened. Packed away for the duration and never came back. The returned men were disheartened we they realized the rich got richer and the poor were cannon fodder. They were not as keen as before.
Love Az and NM..fascinated with the Metates..our family have always enjoyed hiking out in the southwest. Thanks for the video of your solo hikes. You don't mind showing your surprise and delight, no agenda but to share what the majority of people never get to see in person. Next best thing and real..like the "real part".
I lived in Arizona for a while as a teenager, around the mid 60's. Have always loved that state and have immensely enjoyed your videos. Would love to see more of this type.
You crack me up, Beau. Rat DooDoo and that's where you take shelter. Lol What a place of wonder and Adventure. Thanks for taking us along, Be Safe, Chigg. Loved how that one tiny branch snagged you and kept you from tumbling down. I know this is a crazy thing to say to you, But would you please try not to tempt fate so often?
Chigg, It's amazing how long people were here, perfectly adapted to the environment and then we showed up! You are so good at reading the landscape... Them Lost Dutchman's mine, next! The superstition mountains, right around the corner from you, Bring on those barrels of gold !!! Cheers, Rik Spector
As much as you end up having to find ledges and caves to take shelter in you should get a platsch-palatka or a tarp shelter, easy to carry and easy to throw up just about anywhere, love the vids and look forward to seeing more!
And here's a matate... such a wonderful phrase... Here's a matate, it's for grinding maize... to make tamales, for the rest of your days, it's a grinding stone, a lithic throne... Oh here's a matate.
I'm sure that these were indeed used as you describe but in the setting of a riverbed I believe these are more likely a natural phenomenon where there is a stone harder then the baserock that tumbles around in the indent in the rock due to river current and essentially drills those holes over time.
That is probably true in most place, but not in Arizona. You find ruins, you’ll find grinding holes, mostly next to a river or creek or in the bed. The women worked next to or in the water because it was hot. I mean wouldn’t you? I’m a born and raised native here in Arizona, it’s hot!🔥
It is more likely a combination of the 2. Probaly more grinding than the rocks. You have to realize the women probably each had their own grinding area. So a large village would have many many families, each with its own grinding spot. God bless
Just stared seeing some videos of here! Much appreciated, I’m from the Kearney/Copper basin area ... grew up on the Gila and San Pedro .. look forward to more videos 😊😎
I'm addicted to rocks I must say there are very interesting rock formations especially the ones with the calcium deposits got to wonder how old they are. Very cool hiking spot. It's been fun !!
Amazed at the lack of wildlife, or even sounds of wildlife
Great video Mr.Chigg this is the only way I'll ever see the beauty of Arizona thank u for showing us stay safe. ✌
I hope you enjoy this video.

You need to get into the Bradshaw Mountains for gold. If you're interested I can DM you some interesting spots on IG.
Wow, super Kool area
Sure did! Thanks Beau!
A few are going to the Mindeleff Cavates on This Sunday around 10am in Camp Verde. If you are interested PM and I can send you cords

Chigg. Dont be scared to do a much longer video while you're out there. Love these vids.
Yeah these 15-20 min vids barely scratch the surface
Agree. Folks will either watch or they won't. I'd love to do a walkabout with someone as knowledgeable
Wow! The mortor grinding holes are spectacular

The Arizona videos are always my favorite

I enjoy both TH-cam channels, Quest For Details and AquaChigger. Thank you both for the adventures!
I'm sitting in hospital in Northern Ireland with a suspected appendices... ive got something to watch now atleast.. 😇
All the best!! Get well soon.🍺👍
I hope everything will be ok with you. Good luck J'Bear McDougall
Get well soon , J'Bear !
Here's hoping all goes well for you, and your back in circulation real soon. 🍀
Prayers and a speedy recovery "if" it turns out you actually have appendicitis!
I love seeing the metates. It makes it so easy to picture the families who were living there. Thanks for sharing!
Where's the family??? Used for many 1000 of years then stop???
Aquachigger is a man like few others. He brings us amazing and beautiful things like metate stones regardless of freezing rain
This is one of the most varied and fascinating landscapes in North America. But I'll be danged if I would be up there alone!
And the weather can get really nasty in a hurry!!

Me too lol

@@PabloDiablo682 I hike all over the Tonto Forest in AZ. I carry a pistol, satellite texting device, emergency shelter and water filter.

Greetings from the UK Beau. Watched River hunters and thought id start on your channel now and my god I am not disappointed. Keep up the good work.
All the rock formations and the diversity of striated lines in cliffs are beautiful!
More of beautiful Arizona and our ancient ones presence.
Love the great content. Especially the outro music. I've caught myself humming a few bars at work or on a random hike. Kinda catchy!
As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing 👍
Chigg,
It's amazing how long people were here, perfectly adapted to the environment and then we showed up!
You are so good at reading the landscape...

I really enjoy these hiking exploration adventures. One of these times you're gonna come upon something Amazing.
You're one of my favorites to watch besides Chill Bill, Nuttin noggin. However you write that. 😁🤗💕.
Great informative video. The spring you found covering everything in calcium , is called a petrifying spring. Keep up the videos I love them.
As much as you end up having to find ledges and caves to take shelter in you should get a platsch-palatka or a tarp shelter, easy to carry and easy to throw up just about anywhere, love the vids and look forward to seeing more!
Welcome to Arizona, Beau!! We basically lived hiking in all the foothills and mountains when I was growing up. Lots of beauty and lots of minerals!
And here's a matate... such a wonderful phrase... Here's a matate, it's for grinding maize... to make tamales, for the rest of your days, it's a grinding stone, a lithic throne... Oh here's a matate.
Grinding seeds, acorns was a daily activity. Many women sat together working.
Loved these videos. Thank you for taking us along !
Thank you for your videos.
I'll never make it but I've now seen it. Interesting series so far. Thanks.
hi Chigg just want to say you are the best in river hunters uk.
I'm sure that these were indeed used as you describe but in the setting of a riverbed I believe these are more likely a natural phenomenon where there is a stone harder then the baserock that tumbles around in the indent in the rock due to river current and essentially drills those holes over time.
That is probably true in most place, but not in Arizona. You find ruins, you’ll find grinding holes, mostly next to a river or creek or in the bed. The women worked next to or in the water because it was hot. I mean wouldn’t you? I’m a born and raised native here in Arizona, it’s hot!🔥
Yahtzee. Those are/were eddies in the water that carved those, not people.
It is more likely a combination of the 2. Probaly more grinding than the rocks.
You have to realize the women probably each had their own grinding area. So a large village would have many many families, each with its own grinding spot.
God bless
So very interesting hiking along with you. Thanks for all your wealth of knowledge Chigg. Totally enjoyed it.
Yup beautiful scenery, mysterious past. Thanks for the adventure. I've enjoyed the visit back...to Oak Creek???
Just stared seeing some videos of here! Much appreciated, I’m from the Kearney/Copper basin area ... grew up on the Gila and San Pedro .. look forward to more videos 😊😎
thank you another good Video very interesting
Dude. So so so interesting. I love ancient history and early north american culture. Subscribed and im gunna watch all your videos
Those calsified roots were really cool
What a pretty place!
Just beautiful today. I love all the grind spots. Must have had hundreds of people in and out of that area.
Keep ‘em coming, Chigg!
Best videos ever thanks
Don't expect the weather to be similar to the UK! Never thought it would be cold!! Cheers Chigg for taking us with you xxx
I love the SW adventures you do Beau. I've been Subscribed for years and always enjoy when you explore the New Mexico and Arizona region.
Thank you for showing me that
Neat video to bad you were getting wet! Beautiful country,always glad to see your adventures!
I bet when the Chigg was a young boy in school he was like me, looking out the window and daydreaming.
That is SO FUNNY! I was also imagining him as a kid! How sweet. I was wondering if he ever liked to record himself on cassette tape.
freaking awesome hike..
thanks for sharing chig. it's truly beautiful country
I will be in Arizona for a week near Havasu great vids love watching them
This was awesome!!!
Some nice views there.👍👍👍
I love seeing signs of history like the grind holes. Must have been used for a long time to get so deep. Hard work too!
Where'd the people go??? Why did they stop making food, flour???
Really enjoying these videos! Love the southwest and the landscape. Thanks for taking us along👍
As always a great adventure Chigg. I found some of those grinding holes on adventure here in Maine on the Union river.
Really good segment Chigg , very interesting. Really liked this one , thank you .
I'm addicted to rocks I must say there are very interesting rock formations especially the ones with the calcium deposits got to wonder how old they are. Very cool hiking spot. It's been fun !!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Good to see👍👍👍
The southwest hikes are my favorite.
Awesome place. Thanks for sharing!
