Hello, I'm guessing you don't review prior to posting as all I own is a not-so-smartphone and most of the time I couldn't even hear what you said!!!😖 Hey, you had some good finds, keep up the good work and keep these vids coming! Be safe, take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy,.👍👍🙏🏻😇👊
Hi Randy, this is the very first time anyone has said they can not hear me... The good news is, the diving is always better than anything I can say. Thanks for tuning in
never fails to amaze me how many folks can't live without their phones long enough to go play on the water. You have found enough over the years to back my claim, some adults just can't do anything without them
Finally another video I've watched all of your vids and I get happy when I see a new one pop up. I would be in for a donner lake treasure give away. Thanks again for the great vids.
Hi again, what must the eyewear, bungee cord, cell phone count find be on these items.. LoL 😂 which just blows my mind how many phones you find. Thanks for sharing once again. 🇺🇸😁
Hey B.F. Things are OK, the weather is still decent, an occaison cold day in the mountains where I love to dive. I went to Tahoe to do an UW metal detecting video only to discover the access I needed was closed due to Covid! What? This has got to stop. so I went to my alternate, it looked like a bad day at the ocean, the wind was bad. Third alternate...same. So I decided to trek to Oregon to a couple of sites I wanted to hit, wildfires a mie or two from my destination... sigh. THen I wake to smoke and ash falling, I had the windows open at night... omg! so much gritty ash! lol. So, heading to a more local spot today, we will see what happens.
@@mokpot You have some sweet spots to dive for sure. Gonna dive Tahoe one day and hoping to spend a summer there. I posted a clip of a spring I dove last weekend. Don't laugh at the breath holds I'm out of shape. I too am hoping this nonsense stops and we can go back to freedom. Stopping u from diving is not acceptable or rational!
Hey brother have you ever been to tamales bay ? It's just west of Petaluma. I have done a lot of leppard shark and halibut fishing there and have always wondered what was down there by the beach on the other side of the bay just across from the boat launch. Btw, I loved the Donner lake dive !
I have a little vid of from Lawson’s Landing at the mouth of Tomales, exploring what lives right at the shore. Definitely a place I’ll be exploring more. Tons of Leopards. Check it out when you get time!
Nice idea having that lure box on you, saves time ( & body parts ). Pretty interesting haul, that shirt will look good on you. You can loan that extension cord to someone who never returns your tools. LOL
The lures are a really nice finds, lots of good ones! , it never ceases to amaze me, all the stuff folks lose and the things you'd think would float and dont...lol...nice dive. Looking forward to the next...👍✌💖
Donner Lake looks really clear. I'm surprised there aren't more divers out there treasure diving. Was it just me, or did the video blank out there for a bit??? Thanks for cleaning up yet another neglected body of water. Glad you're on the job. About that crayfish, try to identify it as a native species to the body of water that you're dropping it off at. A lot of bother, I know, but invasives are a problem here. Hate to see it happen elsewhere.
Donner lake is anything but neglected. It’s a shame that thousands and thousands of people a year visit out beautiful lake and just can’t leave it as they found it.I love people like this guy who come and do what a lot of people can’t do. I’ll betcha if Donner was neglected he wouldn’t dive here. We locals will call out the litter bugs on land but in the water he does us all a service and I am grateful for him. Truckee is a small town and we keep it clean.
Wow ! Looked like Mama Bear got mad at Papa Bear and dumped his tackle box in the lake ! Lol !!! Very cool video as always . I really miss diving . Thanks ,,,,,,
Hi James, thank you for tuning in… Mostly what I do with the items is properly dispose of them. If the clothing I recover is worthy I will donate it. I give away a lot of the fishing tackle either to friends, coworkers, and neighbors or I have in the past, given them away in contests to my viewers. I have managed to sell a few of the paddles here and there, a lot of the sunglasses I give to people I know if they want them. If not, they will typically remain in a big box in my garage. Prescription glasses are usually donate as well. The cell phones will be properly disposed of so that the batteries don’t contaminate. In this particular video, there was a very nice folding knife, I have that still.
I'm always amazed that you can see those lures down there! I usually don't spot them until your hand is almost in view! ---So many neet things to see...how old would you guess those pine trees were?---Whatever that thing was that went scooting away real fast didn't look like a fish...mudskipper or something?---Are you tempted to open that poptop can and sample the contents?!
Hi Alana, my eye is practiced at seeing man made things underwater, I guess I don't even think about it these days. As for the trees, There are trees in other nearby lakes that have been date to 500+ years, these trees look far older to me, but type of wood, water conditions, and other thing could be a factor. I would hazard a guess at more than 500 years... again, just a guess. I do not recall anything scooting away, can you tell me the time stamp when this happened? As for the can, not really, the contents do not appeal to me.
@@mokpot I went back and looked (11:30) crayfish! I was in a rush or would have listed it earlier... gotta go see a patient and was watching my own time!
That was quite a haul. Lots of tackle, the venerable Castmaster. LOL, as a kid up at Pincrest I’d snorkel the shallows for my fishing gear or walk the creek. When on creeks or rivers I still keep my eyes peeled. Glad to see that grandma wasn’t still holding on to the walker. 😎 Good dive all in all!
This looks like a fun place to dive. I can’t wait to get my dive ticket once covid lockdowns are eased. Already planning where I will dive and until then, I’ll live through your videos 👌
That second phone is a motor Z phone (looks like moto z4) the copper dots on the back are for the moto mods (a camera module add on, a printer, a projector, and for the last about 9 months or so a 5g add on for the moto z phones) and the charging port is on the bottom next to the head phonejack. It takes a usb c cable. It is a very nice phone.
The knife tool at 17:30 is a sailor's fid, used to tie nets, join ropes, etc. The scene at 10:50 made me think of the line from The Godfather, "He sleeps with the fishes." ;-))
@@mokpot I thought I was just weird lol, I've been so so, have to go what life throws at you kinda you know 😊 Hope you have been well as well and you scared me to death when you did that deep dive and made a sound what sounded like a scream when looking over that rock into the depth I was like nooooooo don't go over lol
Back in the late 80’s we used to cruise the docks on Donner Lake with our Bosses jet boat looking at girls. We were in our late teens.

Going shopping at the lake. Damn, you made out on this trip.
I usually hate shopping
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for tuning in!
If you are going to do a giveaway, ill take the collapsible fish trap. I could use that for small sunfish bait.
Oh no... sorry Ross I tossed it!
That's a cool idea though...he could put items on table and see from video who wants to buy 😁👍🇺🇸
Man, you found a bunch of good fishing lures. It still amazes me on all the stuff people drop.
Hey Eddie enter the give away!
Anyone notice Hermie and his Cousin @1:55?
Hermie the crawdad?
@@mokpot There are two... Just hangin out.... Minding their own business and this large Human goes swimming by.... LOL

Love your videos and the wrap ups at the end . Stay safe 👍
I like the fact that there's no talking. It is awesome, keep up the good work my first time here.
Donate any glasses you dont want to the lions club, they fix and give to poor families.
Yep... all the prescription glasses go there.

Best part of Satuday morning is waking up to a Mokpot vid! The bacon and eggs were good too. How you doing? Is the weather still good enough to dive?

Thanks Anthony
Start a tackle shop & thanks for taking it out of the water.
Thanks for watching Marcia

Hi Jane, If they dont return my tools I will beat them with the cord! lol

Very nice lake. Thanks for taking me along........you did better today than I did.

Cool!
You can get the case off of Amazon. Mine is like that but it also has a place to hold cards or dollar bills.
Years ago I dove the SE(I think) corner. Mostly sandy , small pebbles and logs. I found a quarter in the beach sand.
3 more and you have a dollar! : )
1:49 you passed over a ring
Hi Albert, i see it, it looks like a ring pull.

I tried it... cold beer to the last sip.
Really good video. Water was so clear! Lots of great finds!

If there was an "I dislike the sound of that beer" button, I'd be clicking like mad!
Oh yes... beer should be beer flavored... lol

mmmm... i cant imagine not diving.
Nice Dive !!!!

Is this Donner lake up at truckee?
Hi Andrew, Yes
I used to live above the lake in the Soda Springs area. I always heard it was really clear and wanted to dive it, but this looks amazing! Well done!
Great!

Those are minnow traps or crayfish traps . You catch bait for fishing with them .I`m talking about green square net thingy. hehe.
Thanks!
What do you do with the phones?
These phone will go straight to recycle, the batteries are expanded and leaking
Ok, sounds good. Thank you for your efforts.
You may have to switch from golf balls to crawdad traps as your "official dive" mascots!😂🤣😂🤣
Hmmm... I could raise my own food! Andie, how are things for you?
@@mokpot I'm great thanks! It's "winter" here so that means it rains every afternoon...and I absolutely love it!🤣
The BOYE knife is a high-end all around knife with Marlin Spike. They run around $210.
Really food find!!!
I like it!
Stay safe!!!!!!!

Thanks BCB
I wonder if he ever gets accused of stealing things from the lakes he dives in
Not yet Bruce... would you like to make an accusation? : )
@@mokpot no accusations or dispersions intended, just morbid curiosity
OK, then the answer is no, I only remove traps that are lost, they become continual killing machines. I am in no way anti fishing or critter hunting.
All kinds of good stuff in dinner lake vary nice

Back in the late 80’s we used to cruise the docks on Donner Lake with our Bosses jet boat looking at girls. We were in our late teens. Sometimes their boyfriends got mad and threw all kinds of stuff at us. In turn we would turn up the Jetavator flip around and gun it. Everything on the dock would be blown into water. Ya I realize now that wasn’t cool, but maybe you are now finding some treasures we blew off the docks. Love your videos keep them coming.
