On The Hunt for Really Old Petrified Wood | Rockhounding in Nova Scotia Canada
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 เม.ย. 2022
- In this video, we are in Pictou County Nova Scotia on the hunt for Late Carboniferous fossils including 320 million year old petrified wood (coal swamp trees). These trees are nicely preserved and have a beautiful black and white play in color. The white color is due to Barite casting. Terry and all three boys are with me and we had a blast at this location. Come join us on this journey into the past!!
THANKS FOR WATCHING!!

Great fossil finds! Loved the cat vid at the end!😂
🐈
Awesome looking at the fossils
Very cool Petrified Wood Rockhound Treasures! I love hunting in areas like this where the finds show what the area once looked like.
@ 2:16 There's the perfect picture of a fox's face staring right at you.
Thanks for the trip to the beach
Way cool, been hunting petrified wood, all my life. Fossils as well. Excrusions.or nodules, and geods.
Интересные окаменелости 👍👍👍
Ohhhh man that's so cool!
Love watching these videos!
Sweet 🎉❤
You cut my ignorance in half
Amazing thanks for sharing!!
Oh my goodness. Those fossils are just awesome. Absolutely stunning pieces. Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad you like them!
really good !!!
That was such a cool adventure! And to be able to enjoy it with your boys, makes it even better! To know the history of the pet wood and the the other fossils is one thing, but to see them and know just how old and amazing they are is mind blowing! What a great adventure and amazing finds! Thanks for taking us along!
Thank you for watching!!
Fun Day .I forgot what it was like to travell with three young boys.Are we There Yet lol! Till next adventure
Yep! Valleys not so bad but this was a bit longer.
Thank you boys for taking me along with you on your adventure. How amazing was this. A forrest laying about at your feet. I wish I was there. Some amazing logs were found! Thank you for showing me what these trees originally looked like. Have a wonderful Easter. From the land down under. Autumn has arrived for us.
fantastic location!!
Yes indeed!
Absolutely stunning specimens. I would love to find a full round of Petrified wood of any kind near me in California.
Amazing finds….so cool. The fossils all looked huge! I hope you go back😁
We'll be back for sure
World's Finest Seam Agates, Beaches laden with Fossils and Coalified Petrified Wood. Yup, gotta plan a trip to Nova Scotia someday.
If I didn't live here it would be on my bucket list for sure if I knew the treasures you could find here!
Awesome finds, I bet those stromatolites will look killer cut up!
Yes, Terry loves yhe sromatalites.
Whoa that stromo!!
i love the moment when you find petrified wood "hey that rock looks like wood....nah its a rock, oh wait its both woooot!!!"
That was Awesome! Thanks for taking us along 😊❤️
My parents had a petrified wood fireplace made with large pieces. Also a couple logs in the backyard.
Sounds like my kind of fireplace!
I am such a pushover for p wood and stromatolite! Great spot, thanks for this.
You and me both Pamela!!
Nice day of wood and fossils!
That was a great adventure. Never seen petrified wood or fossils that large before. Thanks for sharing with us and oh my what a cat, lol 🤣
Thanks CCC! Yep the cat does whatever she wants!
New to your channel. Very cool finds. From Texas 🙃☕❤❤❤
Welcome!! I used to live in Texas! Corpus Christi and Tyler.
@@RockhoundingLife I live in Wilson County. All I find are Eocene fossils. It's hard cause the land I am living on has lot's of fossils. Problem is they are either completely hematite mineral replaced or are *rats* lol I can't think of the word. It is a rock type that has layers. In this case hematite and clay or some yellow mud stone I think that is what it is. I am from Idaho and have been trying to get a handle on the rocks and such down here. Anyway great video.
Those fossils are awesome!! It is so interesting to be able to see what these trees looked like back then! Thanks for sharing!
You guys are now at a place I hoped you would get too. The educational value of these new videos are huge. Thanks guys, keep it up. :)
Thanks for watching!!
Hi from Sue in NB. I am so envious. I have been to Parrsboro and Joggins a few times and fell in love with fossils. Also went on a field trip around the Gaspe and found lots of fossils. Because of my health, I can no longer get out searching anymore. So I absolutely loved this video. I just discovered your channel. Take care and have fun.🔨 💜
Welcome aboard!! We are hoping to make a trip to Joggins this summer!
Enjoyed it! Happy Easter!
Same to you!
Wow, petrified wood is my favorite, the history behind it, these are amazing pieces. The beach is awesome, thanks for sharing these and your day. So cool and beautiful, thanks boys! The fossils were cool too!
Petrified wood is my favorite thing to collect, not just from Nova Scotia but from around the world.
@@RockhoundingLife I totally agree there, the pieces I find in michigan are way smaller than the beautiful pieces you find, but excellent tumbler pieces.
So nice to see those fossils ! Thank you for taking us with you on those adventures !
Our pleasure
You find great stuff up there, and I love that you take the little guys along to gain all that knowledge of the natural world as well. Thanks for the awesome vids, the history lessons, and the great specimens!
Thanks! We have really cool geology that provides a diverse array of treasures!
That was super! Loved all the tree fossils. Amazing all the details you could see. Thanks for taking us along. It looks like the boys did really good. Keep the goodness coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
Thanks for watching!!
What a bunch of great finds (and very informative too). Happy Easter to you and the family (including the well-cleaned cat, ;-))
Thanks!! And happy Easter to you as well!!!
wonder how those would slab/polish up, especially those stromatolites! good stuff boys!
You can bet we are going to find out!!!!
Wow! That is amazing to be able to find such beautiful fossils and learn about a bygone period of time. The fossil imprints were beautiful and I was yelling "grab the chisel" for the very last one you showed preserved perfectly in the rock. Can't wait to see what projects you have planned for the beautiful pieces you and the boys collected. Happy Easter from my family to yours! 🐇🐰🥚
Thanks Ange!!
Happy Easter All...Our cats have been caught drinking out of glasses many times. hehe
🐈
Amazingly cool spot to hunt! Those full rounds were incredible! Loved the fossils too. I can't wait until I am financially able to visit beautiful Nova Scotia!
You won't regret it I promise!
I love watching your adventures with your boys❣️ One complaint, there never long enough!!! Lol! Happy rock hunting!!!
Haha! I'm trying to make them shorter with more quality.
You can do both. Hehehe
Amazing . I finally made it to Blue beach!
Awesome!!! A lot of the fossils from this video you can find at Blue Beach as well even though the rocks are 30 - 40 million years older at Blue Beach.
👍
Is it possible go outside Canada with petrified stone? I want to know your location.😃😃
Nice finds. Thanks for the video. Did you try to cut any of it? With it pretty much being coal do you think it probably wouldn’t polish very well? The petrified wood I find is basically coal as well.
They don't polish well at all but they look very nice with an epoxy finish.
So much material, what to take and what to leave. I would like to see one of the rounds polished.
These don;t take a very good polish because of the carbon but the look great with a coat of epoxy.
We're going to be in the Pictou area, I'd love to see those fossils! What's the name of the beach/cove?
Its on big island in pictou county. You have to time the tide right to walk around the point otherwise you will get trapped.
What beach are you on in Pictou County? I would love to take my boys hunting!
Question ?
My maternal grandfather is from PE Island
Have you ever hunted there ?!?
No. There isn't much going on in PEI. Some fossil spots
Hello my name is Daryn from Canada and I found some petrified wood and wood like to know maybe the value of it and what I have . I'd really like to contact you if possible
You can contact us at rockhoundinglife@gmail.com
Not everything is yours to take you shouldn’t touch the petrified wood it should stay right where it’s at it doesn’t belong to you it belongs to all of us
We dont take anything in the rock face, nor do we touch the rock face. I want you to understand that the specimens that fall on the beach end up getting destroyed by the tides. So they end up being lost forever. Especially the tree specimens because the material is so soft and fragile. So at the very least move them to the high water mark.
