This is so awesome, it is just like the description from the book, Last stand at Papago Wells, by Loius L'amour. I quote, "It was the only water for miles in a vast, sun-blasted desert where water meant survival. So Logan Cates naturally headed for Papago Wells. But he wasn’t the only one. Fleeing the fierce Churupati and his Apache warriors, other travelers had come there too. And when the Apaches found them, they began a siege as relentless and unforgiving as the barren land…and just as inescapable." I grew up reading his books and that of Zane Grey and you are walking around in their country making what they wrote come alive. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@claudemclain1032]

Lesa Hanners me too

[@wrnchhead76]

Read that one also.

[@WhatIsYourMalfunction]

I read every Louis L'Amour story. Great writer.

[@thomasfletcher4109]

Lesa Hanners , Louis L'amour was a great story teller. Read a ton of his books.

[@howlingmadmudduck919]

Lesa Hanners that's where I know that name from. I kept thinking it sounded familiar.

[@clivewarren780]

I love these western adventure videos.

My old stomping grounds. I was raised in Casa Grande, not too far from there. Watch for scorpions out there in addition to the snakes. Lots of Sidewinders in that area. They are small compared to the diamondback rattlers you hear so much about. No surprise that the mine was filled with water. They don't get much rain in that area but most of the rain water soaks into the ground very quickly and is caught in underground tanks, a large rock bowl. You can go 50 miles to the east from there and the water is down 1400 feet below the surface. A family friend runs cattle down there south of Gila Bend and has to pump water from 1400 feet underground. He often finds clear and blind fish in the water he pumps up. Great vid AC. Keep up the good work. Love your channel.

[@blacksheep9505]

cuban9splat damn that is crazy if true I wonder if the groundwater systems have for food for them down there prolly bacteria feeding smaller organisms for them to feed upon. Or a nearby a cave opening that flushes food down with rain. It definitely makes you think.

[@micahlamilton5442]

Thanks a lot chig. your adventures let me explorer places my health and finances would not allow. Broken down old army vet living in the mountains of north central PA, Was in northern Germany in the mid 1970's Army. Please keep these videos coming, they mean a lot to me!

[@peterouimette1326]

You got a good looking older brother there Beau!

[@micahlamilton5442]

LOL yeah, you guys look related

[@charlieboyzname]

And he drinks real beer not the weak stuff Beau admitted to drinking!

[@chrisackerley1842]

You can get a permit to travel the Goldwater Air Force Range at the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge HQ in Ajo. They make you sign about 10 different "hold harmless" forms, so they won't be sued by your relatives if you get blown up.

[@pieyedapple]

...you are making us so homesick for our former state...thank you for the beautiful vistas!

[@johnpridmore8996]

Grate videos. one trip I can take off my bucket list . You are doing a fantastic job narrating your trip. just like I was there with you.looking forward For the next clip. Thanks

[@lesliegaddy5046]

I love all of your videos but I especially love this because I know that I will never be able to travel and a long viedo is the next best thing. Thank you so very much for teaching me some things as well as showing me.

[@watermain48]

Great video, thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@dannytriplett8625]

Thank you for sharing your adventure. I'll probably never get to visit this place but its awesome to experience it thru the lens of your camera. Be safe and Hold your breath...

[@rufus2130]

You should check out El Pinacate which is due south of there. It is just off of Mexican highway number 2. It is a volcano caught in eruption. It looks like a huge chocolate sundae. My father used to work the mines in that area until the government closed it. He said it was really mineralized. When you see the prickly pear with a purple tinge to it, that indicates the area is rich in copper. For what it is worth, he said the miners never kept their finds in the cabin or tent, but somewhere near by where they could watch it. But in 1917 the Spanish flu went through the area and killed off a lot of miners. Their pokes are still hidden. Get swinging that metal detector. Robert Gill Phoenix, AZ

[@lloyd76oswald]

Sounds like you got some good Arizona pinstripes on that trip.

[@huntingtonbeachsasquatch]

Nice to see you, .....Even Nicer to See Them, ....Hard at Work!

[@louisaziz1235]

Amazing trip. I've through much of tge Arizona desert. One of the most beautiful visions is the night sky. I will never forget the first time I saw it. Enjoy the experience, my friend.

[@jaybales3160]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the scenery and history. See you again real soon.

[@amandapittar9398]

Dear Beau, thank you so much for this video. I have never seen country anything like this really. The closest was Arizona, when I visited the Grand Canyon. It was fantastic to go for a walk with you and see what it he desert is actually like. To see copper in the rocks and the remains of former ranches and peoples lives. I did wonder about the wildlife, no crickets or cicadas- very quiet. The cacti are huge, in your last video I was astonished that people shot them - perhaps that was long ago? You are brave to not have your trousers tucked into your socks with scorpions and rattlesnakes about - I'm not sure I would get out of the vehicle. The crows eating windscreen wiper rubber is funny - in the South Island of NZ we have a large green native parrot that does that too, and all rubber trims to cars & trucks, they are experts at vandalising vehicles, but are also protected as endangered - you can't even bother them. Maybe your crows have been on holiday... take care, don't get arrested, don't partake of too many adult beverages and fall into a cactus in the dark whilst watering it, be careful of those caves they look terribly small and keep making your great videos 🎆🎆🎆😁

[@claytonsmith1063]

Some beers are good... some beers are great!... ALL beers are WONDERFUL!!!

[@tinytattoomike7943]

Clayton Smith and beauty is in the eye of the beerholder 🍺

[@susangenius]

I love these type of vids

[@hubifornia]

At 14:18 that is the sound of your truck getting what we call "paloverde pinstripes " ;)

[@colin-4794]

That reminded me of a Louis L'Amour story "Last stand at Papago wells" :)) Love these trips, thank's Chig!

[@muddycoils6947]

That metal hoop is the universal sign that a metal detectorist has already been there.

[@Uniquelyyours1]

I held my breath at the end, Beau. Stay safe:)

[@susansmith6680]

Always entertaining with education on the side. I will probably never get to see this area in person. Nice seeing it.

[@canadianrelichunters5259]

Great watch as always Beau..love the copper ore rocks. ring in the cactus..enjoyed. ATB Michael

[@vindivergilio3482]

Beautiful country.

The best thing is the silence, you'd think you could touch the stars at night too.

[@123holsey123]

No trains where are the trains wasn’t sure I had the real chig thank you for taking the time to share your story with us

[@TheBasicFisherman1]

Looking forward to the next one!

[@markreap9465]

these videos were awesome, helps give me a sense of a part of the world I'll probably never likely visit.

[@chrisackerley1842]

A pair of Harris Hawks nest in a saguaro at Cholla Pass. Pretty neat in the Spring, when they have babies.

[@johny9516]

Love me some Arizona! That's why I'll be moving there next week. I'll be just a bit east of where you're now exploring.

[@glpfann]

I wish I was on this trip. Awesome scenery. It would be nice to have an aerial drone.

[@devonroberts832]

Love all your videos. I love seeing if you uploaded a new video every day after work.

[@denistrudel5133]

[@dorfsteen]

Got to keep your eye open for UFOs out there in the desert.did you see any?did ya?😁

[@johnlawrence9957]

Great video! Nice country to travel.

[@adambailey1526]

Another great video beau..thanks mate take care, from Australia....

[@Dstew57A]

Show us the STARS out there. Betcha you will see some 🌠 shooting stars and maybe a UFO or 2. That would be awesome. Great trip.

[@wmarae]

Although I love the digging, these are my favorite videos.

[@elizabethscruggs6834]

Come on Chigg take some rocks. Beautiful! Great video!

[@RubenFletcher]

Heck yeah!!! I love the desert.

[@tedchase4885]

Such a joy.... No dropped Civil War 3 ring bullets~!!

[@c103110a]

You wouldn't catch me dead driving in them parts.

[@frankrice5364]

Great vedio

[@DanielSmith-ki7mz]

That’s cool to see copper rocks turning green and blue just like are penny did before 1982 because they were made out of copper

[@sergeantbigmac]

Wow, youre really haulin on that rough road. Last thing id want is a vehicle break-down out there!

[@randlerichardson5826]

Nice place out there.

[@jmyazzie08]

I like watching your videos and open up Google earth to try and pinpoint exactly where you are at each time I watch some of your videos.

[@BugzysEvilDeeds]

I have found old cleared roads, all over the desert, out here.

[@geologyjohn1]

Lets hope that what you found was only copper ore and not carnotite (that you added to your mineral collection). I have found my share of carnotite in Arizona, and now I glow in the dark. My wife is OK with that, as she can now find her way to the bathroom during the night because of my glow. Thanks for sharing the vidra.

[@nini1957]

That was a nice adventure! Thank you for bringing us along! (Did you leave McNeal a beer?!)

[@frostlion93]

My family was part of the original Arizona homesteaders and watching these types of videos are interesting but sadly the original homestead is under Lake Pleasant now.

[@kma037]

Make your own beer 🍺!!! Call it chigweiser!!!!

[@SamyyCole]

Always love watching your Videos :D I always learn a Thing or two :)

[@sirknight438]

I love these videos, places I will never get to see.

[@RockingJOffroad]

You are getting some good Arizona Penstripe on your truck! When you go back home nobody will know what it is!

[@tracybradshaw1362]

Very interesting!

[@karenkozak2068]

In your earlier series in Arizona and the cliff dwellings; You had asked about the wood beams (vigas) looking like they were burnt. I do know that at some of the pioneer cabins, they would scorch the logs for bug control. Do you think the Indians did that? My other theory is that they could have harvested logs after a fire moved through. It didn't look like the cliff houses were burnt so, I don't think fire had reached up to where they lived. I saw a photo of Bandelier and the logs looked the same. On this trip; Are you near the cliff houses again? Is brother Pete not allowed on camera?

[@snowballil3133]

Wish my dad would have brought my big bucket of those rocks back, I probably had a good 10+ pounds of them. But I was 5 years old or younger at the time.

[@edcgearpocketknife]

Awsome

[@kennethclark5636]

Dry lake bed! Heck, the whole darned state is a dry ocean bed!

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Not gonna like I’m pretty far behind on watching your videos, but Imma have an Aquachigger marathon soon haha

[@dardarbfly4265]

I really enjoy your videos

[@aquachigger]

Thanks

[@diggityd5856]

Did you see any UFO’s out there? Looks like a lot of fun , enjoy yourselves! 😉

[@mikeoreagan806]

Another great vid, chig. beware of "La Migra"....

[@MikeDesertHunterHale]

Azurite, Malachite, High grade copper ore from the Second World War II, Pretty tough on your paint jobs!

[@RDNHAZ]

You were at O’Neal’s grave. Leave a token for good luck! The first trip I made on the Camino in the 1990’s I counted about 50 graves but they are slowly disappearing. Please don’t disturb them.

[@jeremymcdaniel8777]

Does the movie Tremors come to mind? Did you find any dead samsquenches?

[@shelley9955]

Jeremy McDaniel probably an 8-10 footer

[@monabale8263]

chupacabra?

[@debbiemitchell6055]

Love when you do these videos. Try the finger drumming method to get rid of ringing in your ears, worked for me, two years so far!

[@Midgardrelics]

Debi Mitchell exactly how do you mean? I got the same problem

[@debbiemitchell6055]

Midgard relics Look up finger drumming videos for tinnitus ear ringing. No drugs and it works for 90% of people!

[@TowGuyUSA]

Awesome chigg 👍😂

[@dennisthemenance5433]

Went to Z in the Winter.. Spent 1 Yr down there for the Winter and that was it..What could make someone want to Live down there is beyond me..Its were God Left his Shoes

[@donbates9610]

Great video

[@brandonandrew6844]

Sweet Video Chig. What an awesome trip. I was just thinking about your river trip video, to the sight of the Native American massacre sight with old bullet holes in the cacti still visible.

[@siberiandaddy6065]

well here we go again. the green color in the rock is called "galena". copper is always found with galena, but all galena doe's not have copper with it. and not pronounced papaaga but pronounced pa-pa-go. it is the name of a tribe of indians that lived there for 1000's of years and are still living in the area today especially today on the reservation just south of tucson.

[@charlieboyzname]

Good afternoon B. The item at 1243 is a little multi tool the same as I was given with a new Peugeot 3008 about 7 years ago....never used it and it’s still in its little pouch somewhere! If it was as good as the car....it would work but never be that great! Almost the most boring car I ever had!

[@brandonandrew6844]

charlieboyzname Lol.

[@gordslater]

and a live round just before that too

[@txtiger6927]

nice trip

[@aaronfavre6863]

Great video be careful out there 👊🏽

[@jjcaron72]

Man, that’s gotta be a creepy feeling seeing a couple vehicles roll up on yah like that.

[@paulsalb1686]

That radle needs fixed before something falls off

[@jasonandhillary]

It would be real cool if you stopped in Phoenix for a meet and greet. Let us know if you do.

[@lancer4224130]

Question: Did you buy those Ray bans and strap, or repurpose the ones you've hunted?

[@kennycarson1960]

Good video and very informative but I be glad when you get back to detecting or river hunting. :)

[@arizonacoinandbullioncolle3405]

Those water troughs are for the wild donkeys.

[@Wvnursey]

Send me to the desert now!!!

[@johnb5254]

Wow, were those smugglers at the end?

[@fillg]

Do the road have washboard? If so, what does Chigg wisdom say about how to drive it? Fast or slow?

[@tinytattoomike7943]

While in Arizona try to pick up some Mother road Tower Station if you and your brother want to sample some of the finer beer in life Awesome video like always 🍺

[@RCALivingStereo]

That was a bit scary at the end Any idea who it was?

[@maytagmark2171]

A running board can. Did you leave ONeail anything?

[@mr.skipper4544]

Off to the houskoouuu

[@SmallWonda]

Wonderful - The desert is a mystical place for sure - as you say desolate & forbidding, yet at the same time, I've found (just a little experience) to be fascinating and intoxicating, & as you say, so peaceful... But were you scared at all by the possibility of bandidos? :) Safe travels, Happy Adventures & thanks for sharing :)

[@richardwarnock2789]

Beau how bout a canteen can!!

[@dclnmre]

why do the vultures take windshield wipers? This may be common knowledge but that is wild to me!

[@otiscambell1883]

They dont

[@zipshed]

What do these birds do with the rubber?

[@goldviper5280]

At 2:40, that is not copper, that is Malikite, and the other blue rock is Azurite. Copper is not 3 dimensional it is smooth with the rocks surface. I have been prospecting AZ for 20 years and I know my rocks.

[@connorsmith2372]

If i may ask you Chigg, how did you get tinitus? Is it from your time in the military?

[@jasonmeaty8036]

Havent mentioned hows ur allergys...this season is it growing with the season well..?

[@oifiismith]

Beware of mouse and rat dropping, Hantavirus. Stay safe my friend.
