- Join me as I explore the Salt River in Arizona. I find a huge amount of sunglasses and other stuff. If I had more time, I would have been able to build "that wall" with sunglasses alone. I can't wait to go back.

Here in Canada there is an group,called stream keepers who clean rivers to bring them back to good health. This river could sure use it.
Kathy Blake do you know if this happens in Alberta at all? I would love to be involved.
I've lived in Tucson since 69 which is just south of where this was shot. I was a swimmer and life guard but I cant imagine getting in water anywhere in Canada. I never feared drowning till I jumped into water that was cold. I locked up and the guy that could swim like a fish couldnt hardly move. Obviously I didnt drown but I learned dont jump in cold water. In Tucson the ice on the Rillito River dont melt until 100F.
Ill pay them 99 trillion if they can clean the river from top to bottom going 49k miles down
How come People has so ittle respect for nature ? have rarely seen so much trash in such beautiful nature. Just unreal to see how much crap People leave. Thanks for sharing again and Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter
i agree! it is those inconsiderate folks that get federal lands and parks shut down!
Chig...having grown up in Arizona my entire life, I have fished that river with my dad when I was just 12 or 13 years old, and tubed the Salt River dozens of times in my mid and late teens. I'm 54, now, so that gives you an idea how long ago that was! It's just heart breaking to see the condition of that river after all these years!!!
Gary Underhill Arizona was truly gorgeous..was
I'm same age as u, remember how it was, watched it turn into one big staf infection. A buddy came across a body back in late eighties..poked it with a stick.
Did not, or don't remember knowing that there are turtles. Those I saw are obviously not Stones fans...
Looking at all of those colored beads, if I didn't know you were in Arizona, I would say a river outside of New Orleans! LOL
All that trash just makes me sick and leaves me shaking my head in disgust. I volunteer here in Missouri on some "Clean Stream" events where we haul bags and bags of trash out of the beautiful ozark streams several times a year. People piss me off with all this inexcusable littering.
Yeah, and people wonder why more and more regulations are going to be made. Everything is going to get locked down and nobody will be able to enjoy anything because those dirt bag pieces of shit trashy assholes.
Pringals I know sometime I wonder how beautiful the wilderness would be without one piece of trash
I feel same way when I see this. makes we want to start a you tube on trash cleanup on rivers
Jay... as good as that sounds, it's a waste of everyone's time. You go out to correct the misdeeds of others only to have all the garbage return within months. The most valuable thing we all have on this earth is our time. Why let these jerks waste your valuable time cleaning up their garbage? They sure didn't bother to waste their time disposing of it correctly. Sounds harsh, but it's the undeniable truth.
MotoAtheist... good point. I have not seen rivers in Missouri look this bad, and getting a point of view from the bottom is different. I think I might start looking for treasures amongst the trash
I live in Tucson. That mess is heartbreaking!! I just can't believe people are so thoughtless.
Chigg, you don't have to sleep up in the hills! You can sleep in a van down by the river.
The surrounding area needs to host a "Help Clean Our River". It is a shame all that beauty is filled with so much trash. They could recycle the aluminum to fund refreshments.
The cans are layered deep. I dare say the cans would be enough to pay the volunteers to work and pay for the rental of some kind of equipment to scoop up large amounts of cans and glass bottles.
The amount of trash is mind boggling!
Must be spawning season for the sunglasses and beer cans.
OMG bout spit out my drink
dryheat85255 LOL...that's so funny!!!! :)
dryheat85255 lol
dryheat85255 nature will always find a way.
After several years at sea, the cans swim upstream to spawn in the very same place they were originally consumed .
After expelling the final drops of their contents, these drops are fertilized by the sunglasses and the cycle is completed to begin again.
Umbrellas are super helpful in keeping the sun off you. People bring them to do the float, the sun absolutely annihilates.
I cant decide if i watch your vids for the excitement or the ASMR qualities 😎
who hoo another great adventure with Mr chiggles.
Chigg got his turtles! adorable!
I sure enjoy ur videos. thanks for putting them out.
Wow! That last spot was like a spring break party threw up in the river.
man i would love to go there and get all them cans and take them. to the scrap yeard and get money for them and clean up the river
Doug, I don't know where you live, but given the vast amount of cans and the cash in money that comes with them, even if you live outside of the US, I don't see this task as an impossibility for you. Even if you don't get a piece of equipment down there, with some muscle and the right kind of (custom?) scoop like the baskets with a handle on them they use for collecting sand fleas/aka soft shell crabs, except this one would be much larger so it would have a handle on each side. (There are vids on YT of people collecting, cooking and eating sand fleas)Two guys, one on each side grab a handle and start scooping. : ) May need to move a few branches out of the way, but Can Be Done. It would be a public service, not to mention much happier wild life. : ) If it's on your heart to do this, then Get 'Er Done. : )
as a man to another man your goatee is amazing
Your enthusiasm is contagious! Even sharing the new hatchlings.
Drunks on innertubes drop a whole lot of crap
Eggy, Umm .... Drunks On anything drop a whole lot-ta crapola. : )
man the bottom of that river looks like a trash truck exploded....
Ridge Runner, Hey Thanks for making my husband laugh hard. Love it! You are absolutely right. : )
Greetings from an Ozark ridge runner
It saddens me to see how other people treat our country's water ways as if they are a dumping ground or a land fill! Glad you enjoyed your day and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for taking us with you !!😊😊
When I watch you going into those dirty waters I think you must have a helluva immune system.
Hey I just wanted to say that I appreciate the adventures you take us on with you. I've been subbed on your channel for a few weeks now and I just thought that I'd say thank you brother and I hope you find a big treasure chest of gold coins or a big bag of money you keep Hoping for
Stay safe brother and gotta love this social distancing 🤗🤙👍😷
Where the hell is the river janitor when you need him? Dude is really slacking off...
Great video, as always, Chigg :)
Only the "BEST" videos from Beau! Keep up the good work!!
this is my local river . kinda sucks people just leave trash everywhere
rustler donnie it makes me mad he doesn't clean it up. Or no one, a group of people get active and clean it.
rustler donnie
you're 'brave' stating 'your local River', I would be Ashamed. Why haven't you done something? You would be a Hero! Really.
rustler donnie is this the Guadalupe?
Dude, people in your area are slobs. Wtf.
I would be embarrassed to say thats your local waterway.
ASU needs to hire a river janitor
You didn't tell me to hold my breath! I almost drowned.
Before I read the description I was like, "That looks like the Salt River!" I plan to hit it up as well at some point.
Im surprised the crayfish isn't sporting sunglasses
Pretty sad when people can carry it in full and can't take it out when it is empty. Planet wreckers.
Well said!
Most of this stuff is lost UNINTENTIONALLY
Tubes tip over and coolers or trash buckets/bags spill, things get lost
Oh my gosh I discovered your channel a couple of months ago and I love your adventures! I used to snorkel treasure hunt the rivers when I was younger. It's alot of fun. Memories. Think I'll get back into it!🖒🖒😉
Desiree Kelley he inspires me to go out lol cant wait for real summer here in Washington, I bet theres a lot of stuff in the water near me, all the people go rafting through there and the water is so cold that it'll preserve a lot of things

I LIKE how you always take your time and have plenty of time to spend. More enjoyable.
In 1898, my dad was born in an adobe ranch house where 51st and Riverside cross. They were within a mile of the river and directly north of South Mountain.
Jeez.... a nice place like that full of crap and junk, despicable humans 😡
The amount of cans is just sad :(
Bas, Not for the person/persons that get a piece of equipment down there to scoop up and cash in on all those cans. : )
Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE
Those algae and plant life filled parts are so beautiful!
A Blockbuster card???
Geez... who drownted there 20 years ago and lost that?
I was thinking the EXACT same thing!!
I think that's the oldest relic he found.
the owner of the old camera!
Dwayne actually it's a storm drain
milcoll73. His name was Kodak.
Lots of those cans have a deposit of 10¢ a piece in Michigan, they don't throw too many away up here!
There's a lovely mix of tranquility and excitement in these videos.
Is there any local, or wider, environmental effort to clean those rivers up?; it's real shame to how much trash covers such beautiful rivers.
So many cans. Outrageous!
Terrible littering in our country. I feel like the native American in the 1970's commercial
Amen Sista! I remember those playing on Television in The 1970s! Indian Chief!
Such a beautiful place and so much garbage such a shame sad 😢
That dude wasn't really a Native American! He milked that for a long time but he was not a Native American. :-(
He was Sicilian
Frank, I get your point for sure. Though I think I should inform you that that Indian (Iron Eyes Cody) was fictional, not an Indian at all. I did a search to get the info correct. He was born Oscar DeCorti in 1904 in Louisiana to two Italian immigrants, later he moved to California, changed his name to Corti then to Cody. He died at ninety five years old.The fact they didn't employ a genuine American Indian to play that famous role really rubbed a lot of Indigenous people the wrong way when word got around. Sad thing is that Indian roles were never given to Indians at that time, unless you want to count Flaming Star about a half breed played by Elvis (who was supposedly part Indian).
I'm guessing 70% of that river's flow consists entirely of Iron Eyes Cody's tears.
With all that garbage in there; I'm going tio agree with you 😢
Really enjoyable video. Lots of hunting.
Always a pleasure. Have a good one chigg.
It made me want to cry seeing all the trash people put in the water.
hauntedsole why doesn't put on bank so no one steps on it stop polluting the river. Or organize a group TP clean it up, so future generations can enjoy it too!
13-14 YO troops out of Target with his mom, hops in the giant SUV, unwraps his purchase, rolls down the window and tosses the plastic into the parking lot. I'm parked right next to him, pick up the plastic, knock on the glass, he rolls down the window and I said ' You dropped something.' and toss it in the back seat. Look at mom and say 'Really? This is what you taught him?' Drive off and they were still sitting there. I would have made my kid get out and clean the entire f'ing parking lot and then made him return his new toy/whatever and buy a tree to plant.
In South Australia we 10 cents per can (recycle) so we have all usual rubbish in rivers etc but no cans!!
Wow Chigg, You are filthy rich finding all those strand's of pearls !😎😁👍
Glenn Who , Phoenix , Az. ha!
I'm so glad you kept the pony.
collect all those bottles and cans you could finance your trip
you forgot to say "hold your breath" at the beginning
that almost got me killed man
More like 'Hold your nose!' All that trash...
Very awesome video I love the great outdoors
Some observations, opinions and such. The good 1st. The way the light played on the fish and the water moved the plants at about 11:52 was gorgeous and relaxing. It is so awesome to see another world, so to speak. Thanks for that. Now the bad. I have been over a good part of the US and I have never seen so much litter combined in one place. I thought were I lived in GA was awful but they got us beat! My dad never believed people could have a negative effect on the earth that mother nature couldn't eventually clean up. He would be astounded and repulsed that people in general are so disrespectful of this river. This state needs to have a volunteer river clean up, not day but a YEAR. Enough said. Thanks Chigg for sharing your vacation, I especially liked the video on the Apache slaughter in the Salt River Cave. All they taught us in school was how mean they were. Again Love Love your laid back personality!!
name of that river should be called tetanus shot river
David, Or perhaps "Ya Better Get A Tetanus Shot River".
Hey chigg I'd be out there with a at and a can crusher with some buckets that's easy recycling cash with all those cans
David Forrest people now are too lazy to do that even for the cash for the cans. id do it just to do it but i live very far away
RIVERRRRRR TREASUUUUUURE!!!!!!!!! OH HOW I'VE MISSED THIS!!! Thank you Chigg!!!!!!!!! MOAR!!!!!
I love your videos! Can't stop watching!
hope you have an updated Tetanus shot!
It saddens me to see so much trash in the water. People are such pigs!
gailemeyer Yes its sad to see all this trash in the river. Remember he said that it flooded out at some point, which usually collects trash and what knots, but it would be kinda kewl if they organized a clean up and recycle all that aluminum
Thanks for the adventure, Chiggster! 🖒👊
I am glad your back to river hunting I like watching this the best
So sad that people pollute such a beautiful place so badly! I feel like I should have seen the crying Indian from the anti pollution commercials from the 70s in this video somewhere.
Old Iron Eyes Cody was actually an Italian actor, he always claimed to be Indian until his sister outed him in the 90's LoL just a funny fact...... but yeah polluters suck!!!!
Not to ask a silly question, but are those air bubbles rising up out of the bedrock there are 5:46 or am i overlooking something?
Julie Julie a lot of the time dead plants release carbon dioxide as they rot and decompse
Julie Julie looks like it to me
yes they were
Ive seen the same phenomenon when i went canoeing and diving.... I think they are mussels under the sand, and I was in fresh water too.
Julie Julie I saw this comment at exactly 5.46
loved your time, this is exciting especially when one can see where they are going. I am scared of drowning but love to watch this. Thank you ,I really enjoyed it.
Wow! Clear video!
such a shame that people would be so irresponsible and just throw out their trash in such a beautiful place
well we found where all the drunkies went
Enjoyed!
Keep looking, you might get lucky and find D.B Cooper.
so much rubish in that river :(
Sheesh Beau looks like you got lei-ed
Charles Wilson Peale ....😄
good to see !
The amount of litter and garbage in our rivers, lakes, and oceans is so heartbreaking :(
what is the deal with all the beads, you look happy to be back in the water. why dont people take their crap home.
Ken U.K.
Ken Carter the beads are from tubing season when everyone goes tubing in the summer. I live near there in mesa az and guys bring beads like they do at Marti gras and the women flash for them and the guys throw them beads. I've only been once but never again, I got fried to a crisp from the sun. A lot of people bring marshmallows and throw them at eachother too lol
Ken Carter
They don't give a hoot
So they pollute
Immigrants & Democrats cause & reason there ain't no more muskrat
Anal-beads
how does the snorkeling work you don't get water in there,
When u dive under water u hold your breath. I think it has a valve that closes if water gets in. When u get to top, you blow water out of snorkel. But u only stay under for as long as u can hold your breath. U
That gurgling noise you hear sometimes is the snorkel tube filling with water. You blow it out whenypu surface.
cool thanks
Carol V the snorkel with a valve is called a dry snorkel and sometimes people don't use them because they can get full of dirt and stay closed, then you won't be able to breath through it. So some people don't like them.
this is so awesome
Love your videos and can't wait to see the newest one, I recently purchased a Garrett AT 250, it's not the pro, or Max like all you guys on CZcams use but I think it's a good starter for me, I actually have it on layaway and I'm researching area's I can hunt before I get it in my hands! Lol
Surprised you didn't find any sex toys. That place looked gre-he-heasy.
Piss jugs and shopping carts
hawkin for cheeseburgers
Ladies... cross your legs while you sit.
What did you think all the beads on threads were?... Necklaces? Noooo
Wow that really saddens me, How hard is it to crumble the can up and throw it back in the cooler? Its not gonna take up any more room? Be nice if the State could use Prisoners to clean up the river pollution, earn that Tax payers money.....
Inmates can't keep up with all the trash the rest of us create.
Thanks for the cleanup guys...
I enjoyed your under water footage. It reminded me of when I was much younger and care free, spending my whole summers "down on the river" boating, fishing, & snorkeling. This was on the South Umpqua river north of Roseburg, Oregon where my folks owned a riverside property. Nothing fancy really, just a glorified shack but I loved my time there.
Thanks for tickling my memory center!
P.S. I forgot to mention, the location you were at almost reminded me of a garbage dump! What's up with folks there. Reminds me of the neighbors dog that keeps his own yard clean by sneaking over and shitting on yours! Visitors to that river must be those kind of neighbors!
Pretty disgusting treasure, unfortunately... Wish people would take better care of their waterways.
You get excited about metal detecting a penny but ignore all those beer cans which can be sold for MONEY???
p kerit aluminum cans are 10 cents apiece in Calif!sorry 5
You are exactly correct, the real shame is that the people who carry a full case of beer or soda but after they finish that six pack it weighs virtually NOTHING yet they toss each can in order to make the whole serene beauty look like a garbage pit, the pure laziness is beyond belief, how hard would it really be to bring one or two large trash bags and when you leave ensure you fill up those trash bags and perhaps have a large depository near the parking areas and just dump the bags of aluminum cans for people who like to turn cans in for cash, then just leave the trash bags for the next people going in and before you know it the river would be free of litter but that would seem like to much work of course!
Beau the best time to hunt the Salt river is starting in Oct-Nov when they turn off the Stewart Mountain Dam. The best spot for gold rings is the take out area to about a half mile back. Thousands of people tube each weekend from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The ratio is approximately 400+ pull tabs & bottle caps per gold ring. I run a CZ21 and ignore the low tones, thousands of bobby pins. The water is filthy and Arizonans are mostly slobs. If you pass through here in the winter DM me if you want to hit some ghost towns.
Jeff
Thanks for sharing
Unbelievable no respect for mother nature, I hate People
Very good. Congrulation
love these video's
I wanna do this!!! What fun!
Had a great time chigg. Goin to the river tomorrow now that tubing is open. Wish me luck-jeff
thankd your video s are amazing
another great video enjoyed
LOL A "spool" of fish?! You are too cute.
I used to live there and found some good stuff in that river. I found my favorite sunglasses ever there.
Must feel good to get back in the water. Looks like that's where all the old cans go to die tho. HOLY COW!
i love your videos they are so entertaining amd interesting!!!!
