- Come along for a day out, meeting up with some friends and doing some digging is always a good day!
I certainly didn't have my best finds ever on this trip, but that should be expected. If you think all rockhounding trips will be AMAZING, EPIC, and CRAZY then you have another thing coming because that's just not realistic.
We had a great time seeing Shaughn and we got to meet a few people we have only known online.

Thanks for sharing. Clay is so....much fun to dig into. Lol 😆
Thunder Dud Dood !! HAA! Throw it in the thunderbucket crapper !! Rockhounds take chances of all types. Some of my best specimens I kinda took a chance on.. No eggs, No babies !! Nice, Enjoyed this doodz!!
Looks beautiful that scenery is awesome. Nice finds. Got to break a few eggs!
Man they so big down the hill you can't even carry them out 🙌
Those wild strawberries are small, but boy are they flavorful!
It's amazing to see what cultivation can do to them.
Holy Cow what a great view! Great vid ☺️! Rock on!
Love the triple thunderegg! Cool
Thank you!
Nothing like a good old Rockhound excursion with fellow Rockhounders! Fun times
We’re headed to Washington in September from AZ and super excited to do some rockhounding while we’re up there. The funny thing is that the less than desirable pile would still be amazing finds for us! Thanks for the great video. If you’re going out between 9/6 and 9/11, we’d love to tag along.
Ok on the bright side that has to be one of the biggest to come out of there.
Oh yeah it was pretty big, I just wish it had better color and was solid.
Amazing thundereggs, I love that triple egg specimen.
And the answer to "how many thundereggs is enough" is that it's never enough.
Congratulations on the very nice video!!
No Thunder eggs in Missouri but there’s fantastic geodes and nodules in the creek by my house... I need a saw... that’s all there is to it. I need a saw! I’m going to send you some really cool stuff whenever we do a rock trade. I don’t think people have any idea how much agate is in Missouri! I didn’t!!! Lace agate druse quartz by the dump truck load at several spots I know of. Good stuff too! Seeing the work it took for you guys I feel very fortunate to be finding similar stuff just walking the creeks
You do find some good stuff out there, I think a saw would be a great tool for you to have. It sure makes the winter go by fast when you spend your time cutting your summer finds.
Looks perfect for a log home…
Thank you for this information….
Your channel is now my new happy place… happy rock hunting
That's music to my ears.
Enjoyed watching your video, keep it up!
Thank you.
Hey, I'm famous! Awesome video as usual, looking forward to joining y'all again for a dig! Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us, we appreciate it! Surprised what you found on the inside of that chunker, wasn't a total disappointment, parts of it were cool! I might stick to the Lilly pads next time, small but full of epicness.
Thanks man, and I tend to agree with you but I think really I'm good on both locations for the time being, what I want to do is start walking the hills around there looking for a new exposer.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding The best is still there, waiting for you to discover it!
Hey I'm famous too lol :) haha such a fun time!
"Epicness" is my new favorite rockhounding word!
@@biscuitEMT I should trademark it, haha
That's huge, pity about the fracture's all through it but that was definitely the biggest I have ever seen, it's still pretty cool though. 🤘
I know I really wish it was solid.
Loved the video! Darn on the big one but still so exciting to get that out of the ground! We are gonna hit it soon!
Heck yeah get out there and start hunting around!
Thanks for the fresh content post sir, your video taking, editing and posting is much appreciated! 👍 Really do appreciate the invitation to join you all up there. Was a really great day to be out hunting magical mother earth and my only regrets were not spending more time getting a few more specimen of the lillypad and not finding another spot to try and get lucky with a complete egg extraction without breaking it apart. (i just was impatient with the heat but the naches river was exactly what I needed at the end of the day) Will say was so excited for you with your giant egg and was heartbroken that it didn't stay solid for you~ We'll have to go getcha another one sometime in the near future. ✔ Thanks again for sharing your adventures. Talk again soon~
Awesome for all your advice at this site 😊awesome your all rock hounding together, I would totally pick a shady spot too, awesome Ragnar found one 😝, always cooler in the woods then in town, always a awesome day rock hounding, very awesome thank you 😊
Oh yeah its always good to get away like this when its super hot out.
Man that is a lineup, all great channels hosted by great people.
kinda sucks bout the egg but I guess there's always a broken one in the carton.
There's always next time up there! I had high hope for it that's for sure.
The little double looks kind of like a large peanut. Sorry the big guy tuned out to be disappointing. Better luck next time.
Yeah, kind of a bummer about the big egg, but I'd definitely chuck the pieces in a tumbler. Can't win em all right. Super awesome hanging out with everyone I bet! Ragnar The Man, The Myth, The Legend! That view is spectacular to say the least and I'm sure it was much much more amazing in person. Like your videos, they are very informative! Rock on 😁🤘
Ragnar is everywhere!!!
I dig it!
Awesome views! It's too bad that egg didn't pan out. Your doubles and smaller ones were great though!
That's the way the thunderegg crumbles sometimes.
Super looking excursion, lovely location. Part of the thrill is the hunt and finding something that big, even though it didn't turn out super awesome. Thanks for bringing us along!
I like to look at as I'm saving someone else from the disappointment.
It would not occur to me to tumble the tiny ones…now I’m going to try. Always fun to watch….thanks!
Looks like a good time with some good rockhounds🍻
Another great video! I've gotta get out there sometime soon!
Yeah you do! It's a good area.
Digging with friends and family is always a fun day. If you get anything the trips worth it. Sorry about big Bertha. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. It was a beautiful site. 😷⚒
Man I wish I lived closer to you guys!!! Looks like so much fun!!! I’m going to have to try and get a group together sometime. I’ve got some worthy spots 👍🏼
Time for you to take a vacation to the Northwest!
Awesome place to go I scored some good sized eggs there
Nice!
You would think it would obvious not to poop in the digging holes... Other than that, thanks for the directions and tips. I added to the arrow and have a good first experience looking for thunder eggs!
Agreed but I also don't think its rockhounds that do stuff like that. The whole area is popular with people riding dirt bikes and UTVs.
Too bad about the "less than desirable" big'un! But the triple and the cuties are awesome! Thundereggs are such a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get lol
I know! The duds kinda make me want to keep looking.
Here in Tacoma, This blistering heat wave is melting us down with a temp. of 80 degrees farenheit, at 4:50 P.M. !! 7/17/21.
Oh man, I would love 80 right about now.
I probably should have watched this video before I left the house today
I hope you still had a fun time out there, its a really pretty area at the very least.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding we went down to the river and collected rocks for the tumbler it was a blast and now we know exactly where to go so should be good to go Thanks for asking
Some of the discards looked like they where lit up from the sun, as if they where kind of clear. You are right about the discards rocks being awesome and I wouldn't mind finding them at all!
I would love to have rockhounding friends, like you guys to show me the good spots for rock hunting! I don't like to watch channels where they are literally sound like they are having a damn orgasm when they pick up any rock! My husband heard me watching a channel and that's what it sounded like to him!! He was like, what the hell are you watching! Innocently, I said, "Rock videos"! He said it sounded like I was watching porn, and I said "yeah," "Rock Porn"!
Hahaha yeah some of those channels that have nonstop hooting and hollering are doing it for the video, that's no way for a normal person to act.
That looked like a super fun trip. Love seeing rockhounds getting together. Hopefully I can get a chance next summer to plan some trips with you all...that would be awesome.
My daughter just went to a summer camp in little Naches a week ago... I told her I've been wanting to go there since I had seen your 1st Little Naches video... So jelly. Some damn day I tell ya
It would be great to meet up and go hit some spots together!
Lol..after finding your big boy...lets go home....lol
Gotta quite while I'm ahead!
I hope you didn't throw that out? Throw it in some acid. My girlfriend insisted I bring home one of those black moldy rocks, and we could not believe how well it cleaned up.
This is such a great video :) Cheers buddy, definitely a trip to remember! Excited for the next time we meet up!
I'm glad you liked it.
mmmm.....schtrawberries
LOL @ your description.... :D
Some trips feel like a bust, but the worst day rockhounding is better than not rockhounding at all!
was just up there 7/16/21. arrow still there
Awesome!
My last trip to naches didn’t turn out as well as I. Hoped. We walked out with a few doubles and many eggs. Sadly almost all of them broke during cutting. And my double was ok but looked absolutely hideous inside. 3 or 4 out of the 15 or so we left with turned out good. Kinda got skunked but im going back soon for redemption. I need to find a way to get the big cluster of 3 my gf found cut. It was too big for the tile saw our local guy uses. Still i love that spot and am going back soon. My star pattern egg from my first time there is still my fav. My gf likes the whistler eggs the best. But im so cheap it doesnt cost much to use my prius to get to naches. We have to use her 4 runner for whistler and i hate the cost of gas.
Well that's a bummer that those didn't turn out well. Yeah the gas does add up but if the trip is worth then why not!
@@CurrentlyRockhounding worth it always. One is better than none. Hey i was gonna ask you. Do you think my prius can make it into lucky strike?
@@L3GENDZLuLKeK I don't know about that, when we went the road was really rough, it would suck to take the prius and not be able to make it the last 5 miles.
Wow that thunder egg! Since it's so bad have you considered tumbling it?
That would be a good use for it but I don't have a tumbler.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding Didn't realize that.
My friends and I have been wanting to go really bad. It would be cool if you could come with us
Thank you but I'm not sure I can head back that way this summer but you should go check it out.
Ever buy rocks or minerals? If so, where?
I don't buy rocks, sorry I can't be very helpful with this.
Are u going to sell the thunder eggs u are getting today? If so how much would u charge for one thunder egg? My hubby and I live in Spokane County area. My name is Amy. Sadly my hubby and I don't have the gas to drive 4 hours away from our area.
I'm sorry I don't sell rocks but at the upcoming tailgate sale at the Spokane Rock Rollers you might be able to get some.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding oh ok. Thanks for letting me know.
Husband ans I would love to join you someday.And learn from you
