GREAT!!! 😊

really found your video relaxing, the clarity of the video shows very well in that water.. thanks again Adventure awaits!!

[@drewmcvicker1445]

Hey you did alright!! My last hunt netted a nail, giant spike, crusty aluminum tent stake, paddle lock and rusted tight needle nose pliers. It’s all about the journey!!

I don’t know Drew… your score on your last hunt sounds like my average…LOL

Bon Appetite!

[@drewmcvicker1445]

I had not seen a video from you in a long time. Like so many others, I have to redo the notification bell. Enjoy the treasure hunt!!

[@mokpot]

Hi Drew, life has been busy, I hope to get some videos up soon.

Good to see ya back making videos again. 😊

Thanks Eddie, It is always good to hear from you.

[@SaltwaterSean]

Loved this video. Clarity of the water is superb

[@mokpot]

Yes , Lake Tahoe is always a pleasure to dive because of the visibility.

Hi Mark, as always, I really enjoyed the dive. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!

[@mokpot]

As always it is lovely to have you watching!

[@nanachick05]

Great dive Mark, you’re right that place has a lot more sand than it use to. Poor crawfish don’t have anywhere to hide. Thanks for sharing your dive.

Great to see your comment Chick-a-dee

Thanks for the video! I don't dive but I find it incredibly interesting to see what is under the water. Totally enjoyable - thanks for taking us along.

I am so happy that you find enjoyment in this, I do too!

Thank you for posting an incredible adventure😊

I am glad you liked it

[@jerebigler7520]

Really enjoy the detecting segments. Like you said, it's because you enjoy it. Just like hunting or fishing, it's the thrill of the hunt, the anticipation of "what's next" as well as knowing that had you not recovered it, the item would most likely have been lost forever. Thanks for sharing Mark.

[@mokpot]

You understand!

Thanks for sharing.

[@braidon4964]

Love this video! I just got my wet suit and I planned on doing this with my paddle board at Tahoe! So exiting to see someone have the same visions of passions!

[@mokpot]

@@braidon4964 nice Braidon, I hope to run into you sometime out there

[@kimjameson7979]

As always, an interesting dive, Mark. Your find at 20:20 is the wire from an underwire bra. I wonder why there's just one and well...why? The boat gash at 23:27 also makes me wonder if it came from above, or below the waterline. Among your coin finds, the "Celtic Ring Money" at 24:14 is singular. OK, it's probably not, but it could save a trip to the hardware store sometime. Since you're down there filming anyway, would the marina buy the "visual inspection" footage? I think it was a good decision to tow the kayak. It's far easier to exit, than get back in with gear. Rock on.

[@mokpot]

Hey Kim, good to hear from you Dude. Boat gash I was wondering what that heavy chunk-o-steel was. LOL, would you like to buy a rare piece of Celtic ring money? only $5

[@tinman7130]

I wonder if anyone on the surface saw the kayak traversing with no one in to paddle. Also, the crawdad condo under the log was a highlight for me. I had no idea the cooped up like that. Have you ever found an old coin in you adventures, one made from silver. Great dive. The view under the endless dock was intriguing.

[@mokpot]

Oh yes, I have found silver coins and jewelry, as well as gold jewelry and gems.

Water was too clear, when someone loses something they see it and dive it back. But thanks again to share this adventure with us.

Thanks for tuning in

[@dianabennett5820]

What fun! Thanks

[@mokpot]

Hey Fisher Woman, I am glad you enjoyed the video

[@allisoncolby7851]

I love it when you do Lake Tahoe dives. Lake Tahoe and Crater Lake in Oregon are, in my opinion, 2 of the most beautiful lakes in the U.S. And you found so many coins today! What fun. I really like your videos. I find the "underwater sounds" to be very relaxing along with the beauty of the places you visit. I look forward to and appreciate your sharing your adventures. It's a nice time out from the outside world and all of its current nonsense. Happy hunting~🔎🏞️🗾🇺🇸

[@robynperdieu3434]

I loved the way the sunlight shown through the water. Beautiful. 🇺🇲🦬🦅🐟🐢🤿⚖️⚔️

[@mokpot]

Allison, I will try to get in a few more Lake Tahoe dives for you

[@shawnmcpeak6184]

That is an entire pot of crayfish gathered around that little stick. This lake is so barren. It is hard to think there is enough oxygen for the crustaceans.

[@mokpot]

Did you notice all the Crawfish clinging to the dock pilings? In a previous video in this same spot I showed many more

[@jond988]

Great dive, Asiatic clams are everywhere!

[@mokpot]

Yes as I understand it the clams are the main reason for the cloudy visibility in the lake. I remember the lake when the water was clear as air … hundred feet of vis

[@jond988]

Added nitrogen from past fire suppression and of course our population has had some affect I’m sure.

[@burningsandsexploration3711]

My goodness! The water is so clear. Do you ever find something on camera and have someone comment, "That's mine!" and ask for it back? It doesnt look like there is a lot of fish around. Awesome video.

[@mokpot]

LOL, yes I have had people claim ownership of quite a few things. Phones, jewelry, etc. I ask for Identifying marks, inscriptions, and where they lost it... No one has ever responded back. I have returned licenses, Jewelry and several phones. BTW. awesome hat!

[@burningsandsexploration3711]

@mokpot Thank you! This is my favorite cowgirl hat. However, I have managed to lose it somewhere. I had an Australian bush hat that I wore for years until I wore it out. I knew someone in Las Vegas that would dive around the dock areas at Lake Mead. He found quite a collection of jewelry, wallets, glasses, you name it.

[@mokpot]

I have done a dive in Lake Mead , although not under the docks… my loss

[@richey5663]

Great video. Have you tried detecting around the old tracks? Might find a few things to give you a better idea of age?

[@mokpot]

I have not. They are in a frequent boat path and not deep enough to be safe.

[@KurtElliott]

I've seen how the big waves from storms but the boards loose on the piers up at Tahoe even though they use really long heavy nails!

[@mokpot]

Oh yes, especially on the North shore

[@KurtElliott]

@@mokpot Yeah, that's where the family I know owns property.

[@capttom7772]

@3:40 "CHINA" on the glasses? @4:56 The water monitoring device looks like it needs a "cleaning" ‼ @6:17; can ya eat them "bugs" ? That scooter is a time/muscle saver. Appreciate the ride !👍😎

[@mokpot]

China?, perhaps they are generic reader glasses? You can eat those bugs, I will have a burger. 😂

[@NickatLateNite]

Hey Mok... That fallen branch looks like it was turned into a 'Crawdad Resort'... Loved the dive & clarity of the water... Do you use a straight air mix in your tank?

[@mokpot]

Yes, straight air, shallow dive. It was about two hours long, but max depth was under 20 feet

[@georgegarton8736]

Good video, glad you use Garret detector equipment, I do as well.

[@mokpot]

I bought a Minelab Excal a couple years ago but, when I pack for a dive, I keep grabbing the proven never fail machine.

[@wandlbaker]

Mark, I have never noticed a certain sound before but it sounds like one of your bushing/bearings in your DPV is going bad. I hear a ticking that is synchronous with your motor speed. Good hunt.

[@mokpot]

Hmmm... I will listen to the video. Was there a particular point you heard the sound or all the time?

[@wahru3357]

hi mark , i think if i found a pair of px glasses under a dock i would just go strait up and set them on the dock and hope for the best (i wear glasses too).

[@mokpot]

This dock is transient, so it is unlikely the owners would be around. Also I prefer to not give away my presence under the dock, and… it is not low to the water it is difficult to throw anything with a hundred pounds of dive related gear strapped on. But mostly… it is wanting to be stealthy.

[@SHOINOFF]

You should try the head camera mount. I know dallmyd < i think thats the name. Uses the head gopro mount on his channel. I beleave it allowed the viewer to see more without all the shaking and trying to figure out where to hold the camera.also im kinda interested on what was the oldest coin you found on this dive and what was it?

[@mokpot]

Thank you for the idea, I have tried it before but using the DPV (scooter) it does not work well. I mentioned the oldest in the round up, off hand I do not recall. Thanks for tuning in

[@alanatolstad4824]

Look at that...a crayfish convention center!---I'm used to seeing a variety of finds when you search the Tahoe dock, but that location looked pretty sterile. Was that because you were under a marina? Responsible boaters, etc?

[@mokpot]

Or..... some one got there before me perhaps and scored all the loot...lol Responsible boaters🧐. perhaps. Honestly I think most of the things I find around docks are just accidental loss. Nice to hear from you

[@jodynoble8220]

a pin pointer might help it go faster?

[@mokpot]

I have used a pin-pointer on dives before. A couple reasons why I don’t are, depth… I often exceed the rated depth for the pointers. Also, it is one more thing to tether to my gear, I really am maxed out with what I wore in the video.

[@Archimark1]

Not gonna lie, that close to edgewood, the paucity of golf balls disappoints me...

I agree, the dearth of official dive tokens that allow me to log a dive as “official” is troubling.

[@missoula4me]

I would like it if when you found old coins, you put the year in a comment and clad if it’s modern. People want to know what is found; sometimes even if it’s no big deal. Just a thought.

[@mokpot]

Hi, I do mention the Older coins I find... IF I find them, but I almost always mention the oldest coin I find in the roundup at the end of the video. Most of the time my eyes do not see well enough to make out the dates underwater, and to put them all in order and labeled on the video would take a lot of effort. The editing process is quite long as it is... Thanks for tuning in!

[@robynperdieu3434]

Have you noticed change in the amount of underwater plant life since you started diving? I was wondering why it looked so barren. Thanks for the video. I always look forward to the reveal. If you have a pre-1960 dime, it could be quite valuable. I forget exactly what year they stopped making solid silver dimes, but it was in the 50s. 🇺🇲🦬🦅🐟🐢🤿⚖️⚔️

[@mokpot]

Hi Robyn, the last silver coins in the USA were in 1964, The last one I found in Tahoe was a couple years ago. But I have not done much detecting here. It looks barren because it is a high altitude mountain lake, often when you see plants it is invasive

[@robynperdieu3434]

@@mokpot thanks for the info. If you don't mind, what did you get for the dime?

[@mokpot]

I did not sell it, I suppose I should sell my silver someday... I kind of think that the time and effort to sell it would not make it profitable.
