Where is this located in Ohio?

You can use peaces of plywood with a peace of canvass material looped over the middle to put your feet threw. Like snow shoes. Thinking now days a peace of ratchet strap would work for the loops. I used 2.ft.by 3 ft for the slop we where wading over. But the peace of wood shes carrying made me remember that. That size would be fine for what i seen in the video.

The MOST amazing rock ever

Why would you go fossil hunting without a rock hammer and a chisel?

Your on indian creek by the bridge about a mile from my house

I live on douglas, I have found a bunch of them

Your black rock was magnetite.

Great idea, I search KY for agates and geodes and was planning a state map with county cut outs from slabs. Then, I could see how many different counties I could find material from and fill out the state.

Ohio is rich in gemstones and sport

Great finds what beach is this called?

Is this 62 or 68 road cut?

What make and model Tumbler do you use ? I'm on disability and a beginner rockhound for my own entertainment. I'm wanting to buy a tumbler

I guess that isn't a great place to get good fairburn where you were looking. Do you have to worry about animals out there, like wild bears or buffalo or anything?

Prismatic is gonna look like a prism. Okay...

That's so so beautiful, thank you for uploading this and going out and finding em! What's even more amazing is the cephalopod and bryos were likely nice and cozy while the ceph was alive. If you check out Baird and Brett (1989) and Wyse Jackson and Key (2014) they have a lot of details on why - the orientation of the little bumps on the colonies, and the fact that they're usually covering the full circumference when the exterior shell is all preserved (Also I've seen videos of living nautilus with bryos growing on them). It honestly took me while to convince myself of it, but most fossil ceph workers affirm this. This is so wonderful though! This video is epic.

Looks great! What a unique idea - so cool. I love it! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome idea! Obviously some states would be super difficult to do because of the crazy geology they have. I’m looking at you Utah lol.

Nice Hope to hit nethers with my kids this spring. Be a $100 plus trip ( 4 people( $40) plus $1 a pound ) Hope rongwt aome that red/yellow

The second one you popped open with the white was not plant. It was actually a fish/shark pup/egg fossil! Very nice rare find for first timers!

I think it’s great that you go exploring in nature alone. I still love exploring, especially near any river banks! I enjoyed your video and the information. Without the distractions of others, you probably felt closer to your own inner self. Walking meditation is such a spiritual experience that everyone should try. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.

I about died when you said you hadn't found any horn corals yet. Sooo many up there! Still watching as I type - hoping you end up finding some as the video goes on!

All the bigger crystals i found were really included. Nice shape and great clarity though...... I found a out an 1/8 of a solo cup in an hour. I was no where down as far as the muddy apots either. I had great luck not far from the parking spot

Rock nerd alert! Love it!

So glad you showed up on yt in my iPad! Just joined up!😊

Súper bueno

Look carefully at them with a UV LED flashlight. You may see a tiny little inclusion of petroleum in one or two of them. Yes, I've been to that very location.

New to TH-cam...new to fairburns agates. Just started a Lake Superior agate hunting channel. Of all the various kinds of agates I've seen people find on TH-cam...fairburns are the most beautiful compared to our LSA's. Cool video...can see you have some experience. I will have to check out more of your videos! 😀

Thanks! I learned a lot. You seem like a knowledgeable person.

THAT TRILOBITE MOUTH PLATE! 🔥🔥🔥

Good video, I also liked that double geode.

Were y'all hunting in the Drakes formation? 6:43 looks to me to be a molt fragment from an Isotelus.

Some really nice red flint in the outcrop at 5:55

Just moved to Northern Wisconsin and I'm looking forward to coming up there in October and doing some rock hounding. Thanks for your video

I really appreciate you giving a tour of your shop. Your explanations were very helpful. I am at the very beginning stages of creating my rock workshop in my oversized single car garage attached to my home. But I’ll also be moving in all my jewelry making, weaving, lots of other crafting supplies and things I’ve collected for over 30 years, from a bigger shop out back that I share with my cousin and his big train layout. I want my own space that works for me. I need to plan carefully how to set it all up, like you having the correct size shelves to fit your big buckets. I want everything accessible cause I want to incorporate rocks and slabs into the things I like to make.

Secondtolast had a lot of fractures

Like the geo pocket one the best !😅

Nice! Cheers from East Coast, Canada.

Probably already ID'd the black rock with red "spots"... I am thinking it has magnetite (black).... a strong magnet would tell for sure.

Nice outcrop

I’m from Columbus and me and my soon to be wife need help getting on a beach up there at night. We have all the gear but not all of the knowledge of Lake Erie and it’s beach entrances. If you could help that would be awesome! I hope to hear back from you!

You ever Knap any rocks?

I've never done any sort of rockhounding before, but my son is super interested in it! We live in Columbus, OH. Where did you go for the flint and how did you collect it? Super cool video!!!

i see an absolute FORTUNE in Aquarium rock....

march 1st is when it opens for fossil hunting so it gets picked over pretty fast. try to get there then if you can

I’m not sure about this has anyone tried exactly what was done here , unless I’m missing steps here there is no way to get around the small fan gear

I'm just happy I'm not the only walking the river looking for rocks😅

I found these concretions on Vermillion river at Kennekuk canoe ramp.

The spoil piles you were hunting are heavily picked over but sometimes you'll still find something cool. Those little round gray chert balls are fun and a good indicator you're near agate, i always take home a couple for tumbler filler. I find nice naturally exposed pieces on the surface just wandering the hillsides but usually have to cover a lot of ground. The brachiopods are neato --- realizing you're in a seabed at nearly a mile elevation :) Thanks for sharing your finds.

The rock at 1:17 is a “Peyronie Stone”.

The best place to find turtle rocks is the southern part of the Vermilion River which is in Erie County. In Connecticut I’ve found someone selling “turtle rocks from the Vermilion River” at an outdoor rock and gem show. Shocked. Vermilion only has one “L”.
