Uncovering Hidden Treasures at a Dry Creek: A Rockhounding Expedition to Remember
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 มี.ค. 2024
- Come along with Chopper and I as we journey back in time following an old dry creek bed. Take a look at the tumbled river rock eroding from the walls of gravel once home to flowing waters of another time. This dry creek is nothing short of a treasure in itself. Hidden throughout its gravels are rich hues of red, yellow, blue, green and even purple! Solid jaspers, dendritic and banded fortification agates as well as petrified and agatized wood cover the landscape. A piece of rockhound heaven in every direction.
Thank you for coming along this expedition and supporting me in my continued adventures. Rock on everyone! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
This has to be my favorite dry creek to explore for rock treasures! I really didn't want to leave... this day will be fondly remembered ❤
Ima buy you an air mattress 😂 THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED 👸🏼🐾❣️
I am in Ontario Canada I take my grandkids rock hunting and we find chunks of red brick and chunks of river worn concrete? Rockhounding here is a drag😮💨I would drive, fly, train, to your area rent a B&B and pay you and Chopper to take me rockhounding for a day or three. Whaddya say? I'm totally serious.
Could you use something like a Jet Sled to be able to take larger rocks? We have used the sled to drag my camera gear along the lake shore. We also used it to move things, when we were in Alaska, last summer. You don't need snow. Just ground with a lower friction coefficient.
AND I CAN SEE WHY ,EXCELLENT ADVENTURE MOM
Hello, This place is indeed heaven❤ I'd give anything to rockhound for 1 hour there. I'd even leave all the Agate for you ❤ I'm in love with all of the Jasper/petrified wood. I live in NH and have only just begun my adventures with rockhounding. I've been to the river a few times, and I'm totally hooked. I found a lot of petrified wood and Jasper as well as Sapphires and Carnelian. These are all amazing, but nothing like what I just saw in your video. Is this in Montana, or are you on vacation somewhere else? Thank you for taking us along with you. Absolutely amazing ❤❤❤
Take care and stay safe on your adventures ❤

Imagine hunting that place in the rain, it would look incredible.
I always think about that...every place I'm exploring I end up saying to myself at some moment during the day...boy these rocks must be fantastic when it pours!"
@@MontanaRockMom I just love to go hunting in the rain.
Good to see you and Chopper back in the gravel. Great finds.
No fair, I'm jealous! Can't believe the ones that you were just spraying off, you left! Drove me crazy! Lol... Just bring more buckets, girl! Ha!...Wish I lived in Montana. But we have beautiful rocks here in Utah as well. We just came back with some beautiful Agates, chalcedony & Jasper. Got some big rocks & many smaller ones for the tumbler. Wish I could send you pictures of them.
I laughed when, at 3:16, you said "can you see the agate?" Yeah...I could see a bunch of agates, including the big one you picked up! You find all the great candy stores, kid!😋
Haha that's funny :) such a great spot... cool rocks everywhere!
I need to come to Montana!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Oh, my gosh! It's like rock heaven! Beautiful video! Way to go, MRM... and Chopper!
Thank you 😊
Oh I'm so glad your back!!!! Also you haven't lost your Montana Rock Whisperer abilities. You surely found some beauties in this trip. As always thanks for taking us along. I really needed this, for I've been recovering from a heart procedure last week and I needed something to get my rockhounding juices turned back on. Rock On!
Glad to see you back Kim, I was starting to be concerned about you. What a fantastic rock hunt, just an amazing treasure trove you have found there, loads of fun searching there. Thankyou for taking us along with you and Chopper.

You and chopper are livin’ the dream! I love your videos. You really know your stuff and seeing chopper get to run around free and be a good boy always warms my heart and makes me smile. I’m always amazed by the variety and sheer beauty of the rocks you find, as well as the abundance of cool specimens Montana has lying around. Thanks for sharing! Many blessings to you and chopper and the rest of your Montana family. Cheers.

Awesome hunt. Thanks for taking me along.
Thank you for coming along!
this is absolutely my favorite rock finding video ever. Makes me wish I was there with you. thanks for sharing your adventures.
Wow! You always find the absolute best jaspers! So colorful! Amazing! And the petrified wood is so awesome! Everything is brighter and more colorful, when you find it! And that TSA was just stunning! And that blue? That looked like it had been worked, like by native americans! All the montana agatized wood, is sime of the best in the country! And that yellow jasoer, with rheavate cener is just stunning! And tube agate seem to polish ok, but that one had more tubes than ive ever seen! Wow! Id take it, just for a conversation starter! Ive never seen a jasper with a quartz pocket before! That was awesome! Just some if the best finds! ❤ Thanks Kim!
I agree with everything you said 💯 %! Thank you for coming along - what a great day of rockhounding!
I am so glad you posted a video- we have missed you! Your videos are just the best!
So good to see another video from you. Nobody puts out better rockhounding videos than you do.
I always love what you find on the river but your dryland hunts are always interesting.
Such an amazing trip! I can see why you didn't want to leave!
Welcome back to the interwebs! Missed you lots we did!
Hi Kim! I hadn't seen your rock hounding videos for some time and decided to check your content today. So happy you had a new video out. You always find amazing rocks and this video did not disappoint. There were too many gorgeous rocks to mention. I'm so glad that you share your hunting adventures with us. They are so enjoyable. I gasp with you when you find the really stunning rocks. 😂 Looking forward to the next one. ❤
Thank you! Great walk when we cannot get out this weekend!
Chopper found some good stuff too. He's having a great time.
How blessed you are to live in a part of the country that is so rich for rockhounding. I have to drive 1000 miles to reach agate country. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Missed you and Chopper on rock hunting expeditions! Thanks, you always find treasures!
Looks like my kind of Heaven!😍
Simple wonderful place to rock pick! Thank you for sharing the joy. 🌹👍❤
Some seriously amazing finds! The one at about 11:30 with that blue and black... UNREAL!!!! actually all of em were but that one just hit me, best find imo. The green jasper with the pink dots, wow! Very nice!!
WOW! Connecticut has nothing like these agates & jaspers, but over many years there have been many minerals that have found throughout the state. Thank you for sharing this interesting video.
Welcome back! We missed you. You always find the greatest stuff. And that brontosaurus bone that Chomper found is just hilarious.
You always find the most beautiful rocks! Those colors! Wow! I can't wait to get out rockhounding again! 😊
The colors...wow... brilliant, rich, jaw dropping delicious...when the sun hits them...the camera video just doesn't do it justice....
I could watch you rockhound for hours. You have a great eye and some fantastic locations. I hope Chopper kept his treasure too. Thanks so much. Love your channel. ❤ Rachelle, Australia
Thank you for watching Rachelle
@@MontanaRockMom♥️🐕 🦴
So glad you got out in the Montana sunshine! You found some great ones
You win again for the best place to find beautiful rocks. Montana Rock Mom is indeed "The Rock Whisperer". I was so happy to see you and Chopper again, my face hurts from smiling. The rocks were georgious and super colorful. I had a good time watching and hope you had a good time hounding. Thanks for sharing and a big WOOF to Chopper. I loved the beautiful intro. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒
Always a pleasure to hear from you my friend 🧡. Thank you for coming along my rockhounding adventure. I really love this spot. The amount of quality material laying everywhere is hard to wrap my mind around!
Been missing your videos!!! So glad you posted
Fantastic area. Thanks for getting out there.
Lot of interesting rocks in that area. Love the colors. Be easy to come up with a 5 gallon bucket of rocks from that creek bed.
It would be! I took it easy on myself and had great restraint- just a small laptop sized backpack half full 🙃
It's about time!!! Awsome episode!!!!
Wow, amazing finds!! Thanks for the great video!
Missed you. Chopper looks like he was hunting dinosaurs or something.
Sometimes the little ones pack the most punch.
Great video! I’ll be heading up there this summer. Can’t wait to hit up the Yellowstone River.
Awesome rock hunt
We’ve missed your colorful rocks.
Hi Kim! I'm so glad you're back! Awesome video! Love the Rocks!
Thanks for the hunt! Awesome finds, as usual. I hope to make it up there in a year or 2. It's on my bucket list, thanks to you and Theo. 😃☀️

Thanks RM. Love the petrified wood. Looks like Chopper hit the jackpot too.
He did- that bone was huge!

What an incredible place to hunt
You left that wood @15:33? Are you kidding me. That was an awesome piece. That piece @17:30 was really nice
Yay so glad we can get back out there love from alberta❤
Hello Alberta! I hope all is well out your way
@@MontanaRockMom we are just starting to melt free this week! You find the most beautiful stuff it gets me fired up!
That’s a really amazing place so envious of how many agates and petrified wood. We can find the same things in Scotland, but they’re tiny and normally found on the seashore….
Thank you for watching and commenting- wow, Scotland- we are lucky for sure here in the state of Montana, USA- our agates and petrified wood can be quite large!
Have been missing you!
Thanks for the video 😊
Thanks for watching!
Amazing haul
I'd be packing it all out in my backpack lol
Very cool.
What I would give to have this kind of stone in my area. Nice rockhounding, thank you for sharing
very nice rock 11:40
I’d take your cast offs any day. We just returned from Estes Park, CO and I couldn’t believe how many keeper rocks I found in the decorative garden rocks everywhere we went. Rose quartz was everywhere.
Looks like you found some very good ones
You are so fun to watch
Thanks so much
How cool
Enjoyed this!
Thank you for watching!
I like the gem you found at 11:38!
Chopper found his gem at 18:35. That’s a big 🦴
Many kilograms of beautiful finds. Chopper seems to be of great help. Was that a petrified bone, Chopper was dealing with? Joking.
That would be quite a petrified bone wouldn't it...
This is really cool :)
I'm heading to Great Lakes to shoot footage for my channel in the next couple of weeks, but ih my goodness, your finds are incredible! Such a blessing. You must have been just so wonderful! 😊
I wish you many cool adventures in the Great Lakes area!
I need to head out west and hunt some rocks. My parents did some rock hounding out there before I was around. I remember my dad talking about how amazing the jasper was and these videos show me what he was talking about.
