Uncovering Hidden Treasures at a Dry Creek: A Rockhounding Expedition to Remember

  • 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!

      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.

      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 ❤

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.

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!
