- In this one, we head out with @MontanaRockMom on a very overcast and rainy day to do some Yellowstone river rockhounding. I was a bit discouraged at first because the agates seemed to be a bit scarce, so I instead shifted my sites to anything that caught my eye. It's amazing how the instant you stop looking for something specific, all of the other treasures jump out at you! We found incredible jaspers, petrified and agatized wood, and some absolutely phenomenally detailed agates! The finds might not have been as large as normal but the quality MORE than made up for it! Red plume agate, green orbicular jasper, red agatized wood, one alien looking green hued agate, and the treasure of the day, one absolutely breath taking blue banded Montana Agate! It was one fantastic day and I hope you enjoy it with me!

That blue agate is incredible!!
If more people were into rockhounding you’d have millions of subs bro
Thank you so much! That is a massive compliment and it truly means a lot!😄
lol well ya got another now awesome finds and locations
WOW all amazing finds but that BLUE!!!! I would lose my mind if I found something like that!!! You gonna cut that one?
သင်တိုကအပြော်တမ်းကျောက်ရှာနေကြသည်ချမ်းသာဖိုမရှာကြပါလား
Hi Theo love your videos. I’m wondering where I can find you actually carve, make jewels, or that huge contest you make things? I really love watching u make things
What a fun trip with agate mom. Lots of pet, JASPER, and agates, but those blues knocked my socks off. The green looked good on the show and tell yesterday but the green showed up better here. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
could you make a video about what you're gonna do with the little bluest agate? until it's in the form of a piece of jewelry?
Oohhing and aaahhhing over the blue which is my favourite colour.
OMG such phenomenal finds in this video. I was screaming with joy. I am soooo happy for you. You are so lucky. I got way too excited watching this video. My husband thinks I'm nuts. Awesome video. Love seeing the dogs have a blast too. Thanks for sharing.
It was one great day for sure!😄 after our very slow start i was DEFINITELY not expecting to find such beautiful treasures!!!😁 thank you so much for watching!
Holy Moly look at that blue! Petwood is always my favorite... You found some beauties....
😲Even better than in the podcast yesterday... Holy blue💙 No words... Other than that
Right!?😁 its so hard to get good pictures of it, idk why but it captures the blue waaay better in video than in pictures🤷 still can't belive that blue😁
“Giday” Theo, what to say about that hunting trip, what a day chasing rocks, some really good agates, some outstanding Jaspers and that “blue” what a stunner. I have become a fan of Jasper recently simply because of the variety of colour and form that can be found, every colour in the rainbow and so many different internal formations. The best of the day and one of the best I have seen on this media has to be that blue, Rookie’s blue chalcedony is outstanding but that one just takes it to a different level. I hope MRM had as good a day as you. This was a real captivating video with so many stunning pieces. Somewhere on that river is the other parts of that stone, 😜👍 only a couple of millions of tons of rock to sift through. 😂😂
Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
Totally agree!😄 i never used to think much of jasper until i started finding more of them and now im just in love with the stuff; never wind up with 2 pieces that look the same!😄 and man would i love to find the rest of that blue😂its out there somewhere!🤣 thanks so much for watching!😄
Any chance of you doing a video on identifying possible iris agate, and how to cut and polish it to bring out the color. Thanks
Yes actually! I am actually currently working on an iris video where i go iver those subjects!😄
Thanks 😊
That banded one and the blue one are beautiful, I gotta get out and hound now!!
7:11 in the centre-top-left is a lovely blue, and at 7:14 there's another blue about 40cm away from the fossilised wood, towards the top left. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGHHH hahahaa its KILLING MEEEEEEEEEE
That blue is stunning! Yer gonna get soft with that newfangled electronic water sprayin' gizmo! Next thing ya know we'll have cars with a button that makes the window go up and down!
* At the 13:29 mark while you are holding up the Blue stone, there is another lighter blue stone in the background below your hand 2 finger widths.. Can't reach thru the screen.. Darn.. That Blue is the Rarest Blue I have ever seen., Lovely . .
My fave would be the iris agate!! Not gonna lie, that blue is fantastic, but the iris agates hold my heart!!
That's a wild blue. If I saw it in a shop, I would've assumed it was dyed!
We find some beautiful blue like that in a secret spot but I'm pretty sure it's just deceiving slag. 🤔🤔
Went and subbed to Rock Mom, just cause, you guys deserve it. Also, you go and check out that scam video? See it has either 4.8 or 48 million views? Such BS.
DUDE, nice hair, you got a truck load. Trapper scotty, Alaska
SIMPLY PHENOMENAL,, wtg Theo.. so jealous
I have been a rock hound since I was a 4th or 5th grader. That was in the late 40s, now I'm 82 and a widow. Still loving rocks an wishing I had been born in another state and met someone like you Theo. But I didn't so I still would like to say, ❤ YOU AND ALL THE VIDEOS YOU SHOW! I need help identifying a rock, where should I go? Would appreciate an answer.😘
Where is this place located I’m just curium to know
i feel like you passed so many crystals you should go back:) no hate
Great day! Those blues were amazing. Looking forward to more cutting!!! Thanks Theo!
Wow, what beautiful finds! I'm not really a big fan of blue, BUT those two blue stones were gorgeous!
The blue agate is amazing!! Loved the agate that looked like it contained a lake! Beautiful finds! Can’t wait to see what come out of those beauties!!👍😁🦋
Its a good one for sure!😄 still debating if were gonna polish that blue or leave it alone😅 i think ill have to just stare at it awhile before i make up my mind😂 thanks so much for watching!
@@TheoKellison I would definitely leave it! It is so beautiful! It will be an attention getter in your displays!
13:09, I'd LOVE to take that blue off your hands
Done subscribe to Montana Rock Mom and i am watching from sweden
Hey Kim I am so glad you are doing better, and Hey Theo, glad yall had a good day.
That was an awesome trip nothing big but some of the most beautiful agates and jaspers. My favorite has to be the little blue one, the banding is so beautiful. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.
Why don't you just tumble them and sell them that way??
U missed a pretty blue crystal under a rock fyi
I don’t know what I love more, the dogs or the rocks.
Make a coffee mug out of that big orange &green jasper
Oh how I would love to pick up some agates there! The blue ones are my favorite!
Omg u keep walkin by sooooo many n im losin my mind here lol
10:53. “To make a …..”. what?
Found cow?
Awesome finds! I've been watching Y'all who hound the Yellowstone, I'm quite jealous. I've been eyeballing the maps, and it's about 400 miles one way for me to get there. When do you think is the best time of year to visit?
Best times are definitely August to October(that can vary a bit depending on our current winter and fall weather situation; sometimes we get snow in October, sometimes we dont get snow til december so that just depends on whenever winter decides to show up😅) and march to early may👍 typically winter is a no go because its pretty miserable rock hunting in negative temps when everything is frozen to the ground😅 and late may-mid july is runofff so there isnt much bank to hunt. Hope you can make it out sometime!😄
@@TheoKellison wow, thanks for the super detailed answer! Exactly the info I needed.
Where about a are you on the Yellowstone?
Wow, Theo! You are finding some great stuff!!!!!
Love the iris but blue is King
Wow a new big water spritzer
The rocks are great. The blues are amazing. But tell me about Cyrus. Is he papillon? Or some Sheltie?
Very nice!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!
Where are you hunting?
I would love to see into that beauty at 4:20... Wow
Even if you didn't find anything...its just nice being out there on that beautiful river... But like that would ever happen... I don't think you'll ever come back empty handed 😆lol
Yep, it's the Blue...
Yup, it has to be Blue
Blue. Nuff said!
so much jasper you should sell rectangular slabs for boxes and ANYTHING BLUE is scarce throughout ALL of nature
Have any new jewelry
We are planning a group trip to the Yellowstone River from British Columbia, and were looking at water flows. It looks like the first of August on it is pretty low and easy to traverse the bars. You say that the normal temperature for (date on video is Aug 7, and you speak of) 'yesterday' was in the 70's and 'today' (Aug 8?) is normal at 97F. Am I correct in assuming that this would be extremely hot normally?
Could you suggest some other time? Our season is usually May thru Sept, and we have other rockhounding trips planned of course, so we would really appreciate your prompt response.
We all love your channel, all are subscribed to you and to Agate Angler, and others among the group. Keep up the fantastic work. You are our inspirations, and we have learned so much about the rocks there, and your rivers. We meet and see who can pick out your rock before you do, and describe it before you do. Food prizes each show!
Another awesome video, love that blue agate. There’s another rock hounder that showed a place where the River just full of blue agate. I think it was in Oregon. But that was an excellent find. I’m jealous.......
348 👍 and subs all 🔔
Dude! That blue 💙
I wish I could find anything close to what you guys get in the USA, Scotland, not so good for rockhounding. I find an agate that's 1cm and it's big, then I watch you and I'm like sheeet. Maybe one day.
I'd like to see you carving an agate, if you haven't already got a video of that.
Keep up with the great content 👍
Come to Michigan for agates, jasper, blues, petoskey, quartz…etc! Best rock hunting ever!
Blue lace agate?!
The blue for sure
My favorite is the red & purple jasper, with the thin orange line! At least those are the colors my phone gives me. Great video, great rocks, excellent hunt! 😁🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
Awesome finds! I'm really hoping to spend some time in future looking along the Yellowstone River!
Jaw-dropping stones. The iris slice you showed is amazing. Good luck with your next slicing…I would love to see the iris slice in normal light. Wonderful blue!
We will have an entirely iris agate dedicated video coming very soon😁 just waiting for stuff to finish in polish and it will be coming out!
Sometimes I get sickly jealous watching other people find these beauties.
Why can't I find stuff like this?
And the fact that these places are too far from my home.
*SIGH*
Ever need anymore Jasper, come down to central Alabama. You'll walk for 5 minutes and have a 3 gallon bucket full of just red jasper
True blue!!!! That one is very special! What a cool orbicular green and yellow jasper too. Do you find many orbicular jasper on the yellowstone???
Where I go in Australia, I have been finding a lot of green/red/yellow jaspers and also milky quartz. I would really like to find some agates after the flood we had. The little stream I was going to rock hunt in is now a raging river. I was expecting to find lots of agates but not yet.
Anyone trying to get your object to focus, just put a back floor car mat in black for light images and use a large piece of felt or a pillow case in white for dark images. Your camera will focus on the most prominent item. Your hands being wet also reflect which confuses the camera.
Oh man, at 7:11 you missed a fairly large beautiful blue agate toward the top left of the screen. I wanted to cry. And at 7:51 you reached right over a smallish med. bright blue one half covered by a rock. Man I'm jealous of your spots...
Amazing Spot And Beutyful Rock Stone,Peace From Asia/Indonesia
Always blue
Omg the iris is stunning all these colours, I love the blues totally utterly stunning ❤️😍👍♥️
Well be looking at a LOT more iris agates very soon!😁 hoping to get that video out in the next few weeks!
You’re right, that blue is amazing. I’ve only found one true blue and it was much like your first..
What are all the small orange things from about 5:30-7:00? I’m sure they must not be very interesting if you’re passing them over, but I’d love to know what they are if you know.
4:20 man... WOW!!!
Hello friends. What a day, such an amazing beautiful mix of finds. So exciting and your descriptions are perfect 😊 that blue is spectacular. So happy for you, well done. Thanks again
Tripping on rocks!!!😄 its so good to see you here! I remember seeing your name in my comments way back when i had 1000 subscribers! Thanks so much for watching! It truly means a lot!☺
@@TheoKellison heyhey. I remember, it's cool to see you grow and very deserving. I think we spoke about paua shells, I was going to send you some. If that was you the shells I have are to brittle to send in the mail but I will be getting more when the we finish winter (we're at the end of our winter atm)
Aroha mai my friend.
That blue though haha love rocks!!
Omgoshness!! When all you want to do is pack up move to Montana so you can find awesome agates. Phenomenal day! Thank you for taking us with you.
What is it?
Good find,
The blue was truly beautiful. But I’m curious about the big greenish one. On camera it looks a little opalescent. Gonna slab it?
Hey what kind of dremel bits do you use for carving? Not that I have the talent to actually DO carving, but I think it would be fun to try
You find the most awesome rocks! Can't wait to see the ones you cut and more projects you do! Thanks man!
Thank you so much!😄 weve got some AWESOME projects in the pipeline right now that im hoping to show off soon! And we will definitely be doing another video whenever we cut into these beauties!😁 thanks so much for watching!
Awesome blue! Now find one the size of a softball. LOL Great video Theo. See you next video.
Done subscibe
The blue one is amazing I recently found what I thought was blue agate but after the first process of tumbling it revealed small metals dots and it sticks to a magnet any ideas on what it might be and should I continue the tumbling process any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
How would you like to just sell a couple of those rocks that you found and not slab them or cut them? I would be willing to pay a fair price for them. I live in Iowa not much chance of finding those beautiful rocks here.
Amasing
that blue...haha...freakin' saaweeeeeeeeeeeeeet. some great finds once again Theo. 👏🍻
Did you ever find out about the glowing piece? I often see green depression glass pieces that glow, as well as some pieces that have natural cadmium.
If you still have that blue agate are you willing to sell it as is...if so how much would you ask for it...
I would like to add it to my small rock and arrowhead collection...
Have you ever tried digging down to look for Agates? I'm sure there is at least 3-5 feet of those rocks down under that sand in some areas. Imagine what is under the sand.
Wow beautiful blue stone love it 😊, you always find the most amazing stones 😊💙, thank you for sharing
Blue
That blue agate that looks like a lake would be an amazing viewing stone. Don’t Polish it!!!!
Oh..my..god. That beautiful blue agate is to die for and so aren’t those Montana Agates! I have got to go find me some!
The petrified wood with the agate vein…😮💨😮💨😮💨
awesome channel! Have you ever been to the crater of diamonds state park?
A little slower showing the agates would be nice, even if it's just on the nicer ones.
Wow that blue agate breathtaking. And i love the large one with the green tinge. Also cant wait to see the agate with green parts cut. And question. When you cut your agates to get the iris effect do you cut them thin? Or thick and polish them down? Or is it just the type of agate you are cutting?
Love you stalking the wild bluey through the brush, lol. Beautiful blue.
