My BIGGEST Agate Yet! 11 Pound Monster Montana Agate, Northern Lights, and More!

- In this one, we break my personal best record for BIGGEST MONTANA AGATE! We went out to enjoy a beautiful day and take a much needed break from the constant work that my chess set required. The goal was simple: Get outside, relax for a while, and see if we can find anything interesting...I CERTAINLY was not expecting to find my biggest agate yet within 15 minutes of starting the hunt! On top of that, we found a slew of other very nice agates including a green Montana agate! And as if THAT wasn't good enough, a few days later we were gifted with a phenomena that I have been pursuing for a year: The Northern Lights! It was a fantastic few days for sure! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out soon!

You and rock mom really scored! Beautiful rocks, fun people and and a beautiful day. What could be better? Thanks for taking us along. Can't wait to see them cut, cut, cut. 😷⚒
Once again you destroy how big your agates can be. Glad you and Alexis did so well. The light show was just a bonus!! Keep having fun and woof to the pups.
Now you gotta carry that beast with you the the whole day while rockhounding 😂
yes he does what a labor of love
If it's an out and back, I'd stash it in a spot to come back to.
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: BEAST is right!
I went hunting and found this massive goed pocket that was like 20+ pounds and just had to bring it. I chipped it down to like 5 pounds😭
What an incredible day Theo! The giant agate is insane! Always love seeing the pups, and it's always nice to see the adorable Alexis too. And those northern lights! Two things on my bucket list, rock walking the Yellowstone and seeing the Aurora. I'd have to say that beautiful brecciated jasper is my fave but feel torn many different ways. And Theo, your videos are never, EVER boring!
Absolutely fantastic finds!! Very beautiful!
The green one 💚🥰👍. ✌️🫶😃
Great finds for both of you!!
Thanks Friend! Always puts a smile to my mug! Weather just changed here so as soon as some of the snow melts! Going to the top of worn down mountains!!
I'm going to have to make a visit over your way! On my travels to see and ponder. Every area has different expressions and variety. Again thanks Theo.
Hello Theo, you’re having fun with that new rock saw And the weather looks really beautiful. We are at well this weekend. It’s in the 70s here in New England for the first time in a while. I hope it stays on the normal spring and summer side.😂❤
Love that big bopper of an agate!
The Northern Lights were amazing! Also that giant agate is incredible. Thank you for taking us along for the adventure, that's the definition of a bucket list day for sure!
gotta say my fav was the green moss agate. but man I don’t envy your decision to cut or not to cut the biggun. and shout out to Alexis! that blue and tsa…. nice! oh and hey… i’m borrowing Floyd next time i’m in town lol!
I've been dreaming of seeing the northern lights since I was about 8? Thanks for the pics! As always you found some really awesome rocks!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here! You're spoiling us with the size of Yellowstone River rocks! Good to see you, Alexis, and the 4 legged kids out enjoying the sun!
I'm so jealous of the northern lights pictures. It was cloudy here!
Oooh, thank you for including a few of your northern lights pictures! We got a ton of pictures too (here in Miles City). It will never get old. Just like you finding ginormous agates, or any for that matter, it will never get old! It's inspirational! I need to hit the river.... Thank you Theo for sharing all your found treasures!
Amazing agates! That big one is huge! I love the green one too!
Man the volume and quality of these rocks is unbelievable. This is like 2 years worth of rocking for me.
It's fun to go rock hounding with you.
It is magic.
Fantastic Northern Lights🥰❣️💁🏻
Poor little Molly was worn out. My favorite was the treasure state that Alexis found. It looks like it has a drawing of a little creature on the end. What a great day.
We were supposed to see the northern lights a few days ago but it was so cloudy. The pictures are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your adventure
That agate is a bohemyth!! Amazing day!!
Alexis is doing well, learning the ways of the agate hunters...lol😅 omg those northern lights were beyond awesome! Congrats on all those beautiful rocks.
Incredible day, it's always awesome when you find a huge rock at the beginning of the hunt. 😂😂
Congrats on the massive find! Happy for you!
Can't wait to see the cuts of the green agate, great finds. Good job Alexis, you found some really nice ones, and Floyd too of course 😉
I have been in MN for 9 years and still not been able to go see the northern lights. Those photos are amazing and so happy that you got to enjoy seeing them with your family ❤ that agat was also incredible ❤
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: I have added more comments...the Northern Lights are magical aren't they.... I used to live in Bellingham, WA where we could see them occasionally. Plus...seriously bruh....you need a pack Llama or a donkey to carry those loads!
Omg, I need to move to Montana.....no joke, those are SUPER awesome finds!!
WOW, how many kilogram is that Agat?? Anyway, I think you find a lot of lovely rock every time you are outside hunting. Lucky you that have the opportunity to find precious rocks. Envy you
Great finds ❣️ Thx for the post and education❣️ Keep on Rockin❣️
The giant agate is a great find. 😁
Wow, amazing finds, as always! I didn't know you could see the Northern Lights in Montana - yet another reason to travel to your home state!
Some day I would LOVE to see the Northern Lights ❤
What a huge agate. I cant wait for the slabbing. They will be amazing.
Oh my gosh! Beautiful finds, Theo & Alexis!!! And what are the chances of finding an 11 pound agate!!! OUTSTANDING!!!! Absolutely can't wait to see them cut open! But I completely understand of not wanting to cut open your monster agate! The northen lights were awesome! Thank you for sharing! Love your videos! 😊
Cool stuff the dark red one at 15 min. you should just tumble to a modestly nice finish and set on a led light base.let it glow warmly........Steve
Great finds! Great video!
* The finds were mostly Huge instead of the tiny ones.. Love them.. I love the Petrified Wood.. but you will be cutting for Weeks with the huge finds you have made.. ~ WOW ~ My Fave was Pet Wood at the 19:27 mark As I said it's my Fave and looked so lovely from both sides.. Green Agate will be Awesome ! !
Beautiful finds Theo, super cool agates, pet wood, and fossils too!👍 Looking forward to seeing which ones have Iris, I’ve got a feeling there’s going to be some beautiful slabs! 😃👍
That was some amazing down time 🤩🤩 can’t wait to see cuts.
Holy Cow! That is a huge agate! Its just enormous! And beautiful! 11 lbs! I cant believe agates get that big! Its ridiculous! And that green one is my favorite! Ive never heard of a green montana agate before. I cant wait to see that one cut! And those inoceramous clams are really cool, even broken! And of course the baculite fossils! Those are some of my favorites! I bought at least 4-5 of your baculite finds from your etsy! So are you starting your own website, to sell your finds from? I would really be interested in what you have to offer! I love your fossil finds! Since my stroke, shopping your store, is the only rockhounding i get to do, but I'm not complaining. You find way better stuff than i ever did! Thanks Theo!
I am absolutely torn as to whether I love seeing the dogs or the rocks most!!❤ Love the videos. That chess set, there are no words..
So glad you got to experience all those amazing things!! Thanks for sharing the goodness, Theo!
I hope you let yourself cut the big guy. Alexis’ red nodule is fab. Floyd is an agate magnet. Thanks…super great hunt!
Congratulations on your super agate keep up the good work.
Wow. Agate and northern lights❤
Great day for sure!
Very nice stones
I love the rocks... and drumming, 'cause drumming 'rocks' too! Check it out.
Wow just some phenomenal hunt. So many amazing finds. Can't wait to see them cut. That's going to be super awesome.
Awesome! Congrats 👏
How do you know exactly what is in the rocks?
Green Montana Agate😍😍😍😍
I did my first rock hunt of the year on the North Saskatchewan yesterday. I found a few bits of petrified wood, including one almost as big as a coke can (quite large for this area) and my first ever agate! It's just tiny but they are very rare here. I am super jealous of the stuff you are finding in Montana - I'll get down there someday!
Nice MT video!
Can't wait until you slab that huge agate!
👍👉👍👉👉stones treasure good
Good video.
😅 I'm so jealous. It's an 11lb beauty. Rocks that are so big and gorgeous are amazing. Thumbs-up those iris 😂😊 o m g.
Still love the green!
What a great day!
Similar to picking LSA's. Gotta know what to look for.
I’m hoping when my son & his family get to Montana that they are able to get me some rocks of all kinds.
That's a big agate!maybe try cutting it differently.i really want to see that moss agate slabbed though! THANKS
❤❤❤
👍
I know you probably don't want to give away your hunting spots, but the family is visiting Montana. Where do you recommend to hunt?
What does fortifications mean?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What is plume
😆
Looks like a recent statue…
You have to be carrying 60# of rocks!
That look like a piece of petrified wood on either side of that, but my God, it looks like somebody’s butt crack. It’s so big wow I’ve never seen and I get that size.
a human head weighs 8 pounds ahahahah
This used to be exciting but tooooooo much repetition starting to get borring
I am delivering a sermon to you 🙏😊 please read
Consistently Pray for forgiveness, guidance in a good (positive) direction, and for help against evil. Pray to be saved from hell (whatever that may be). Pray for your friends and your family too, it only takes a minute or so/less at a time to pray. Do it and your life will slowly get better, or maybe quickly. It probably just depends on you and the kind of person you are/have been. Don't wait until its too late and you have to suffer the consequences of built up bad karma from immoral acts/unrepented sins. Maybe together we can help make the world a better place by changing ourselves for the better, and changing things around us for the better.
And addressing/thanking the CREATOR, LORD GOD at the beginning and end of your prayers would be a good idea 😊
Or just be my friend if you don't want to say the prayer 😄
I'm trying to help you get right with the LORD 🙏
Amen.
I have worded a short prayer for you to say if you are not sure what words to use, it may not be the best but here it is 😊
'' CREATOR, LORD GOD,
Please forgive me and my friends and my family for our immoral acts, please help guide us in a positive direction and please help us against evil. Please save us from Hell and have mercy on our souls. Thank you CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen. ''
Please say this at least once a day for at least a month, do it longer if you want to and can 🙏
You should prostrate yourself if you don't want to do spoken prayer, or do both 🙏😊 Please worship the LORD GOD and not any idol.
Please put your hands together 🙏 bow your head and say this prayer:
"CREATOR, LORD GOD, please know that I worship you and not any idols. Thank you for everything CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen"
Say ' Om Namah Shivaya ' out loud or in your head 108 times, or try to do it 1008 times 🙏🙏😊 try to do it everyday if you want
repeat this aloud for as long as you want to, try to do it for like an hour a day or say it in a prayer "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner"
You can also say this prayer once a day or repeat it aloud as many times as you would like to:
"Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen."
Thessalonians 5:16-18
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
"O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!" Repeat this aloud at least 3 times or as many as you want, do it everyday if you can
I apologize for all the words 😊 I know how it may look
Genuinely thought that was a massive turd in your hand
