Please tell me you sell some of your finds! I would absolutely love to have some since I’m all the way in Oregon! All we have here is small beach agates unless you want to do some serious digging. I would give anything to rock hunt with you and chopper out there ❤
You don’t know where to look if that’s all you’re finding. I’m in Eugene and know of a few good spots where I’ve found basketball sized carnelian and geodes. Also a good spot to go for crystals and agates is at lookout point at dexter reservoir in the fall and winter because they drain it and they are everywhere. I highly suggest that you don’t go out there alone as last time i went there were a set of cougar tracks and a set of little cougar tracks so there’s always at least 3 of us when we go and my big wolf boy. The best spot is where the pie eating contest was in stand by me 😉
There are a LOT of places to find rocks in Oregon, Central/Southern Oregon is just primarily the best area for it. I live in northeast OR and it’s sooo hard to find places near here to find rocks though so I get it 😭
@@MontanaRockMomI’m coming to Darby Montana next week, where can I go to do some epic rock hounding? I’m from Missouri and we have nothing like that here.
I think you found some of the most amazing agates, Jasper, pet wood that I’ve ever seen! Please show us the cleaned versions and maybe even your display!!
YOU ARE BETTER THAN THE BEST, MRM!! Compared to all the others, your finds are priceless!! Have you ever thought about making lampshades using your colorful slabs and/or slices?? Similar to making stained glass but using your specimens from Mother Nature. Having a bright light behind your slices!! Ooooooooh! I can just imagine!! Thanks 🙏 for all your hard work and your very fancy high tech videos. I often wish I lived closer to you. Have you ever traveled to Seattle to find some local specimens??
Thank you!👍nice you have a lot to choose from I rock and fossil hunt have UTube shorts videos of mostly rocks and fossils, started four weeks ago. Kentucky creeks. You have great rocks.. your a rockstar!
Im going to have to agree with a lot of everyone else comments in chat that you consistently find the coolest stuff. Kim! That jasper that just radiated colors was intense. Cute lil pet wood branch. All the agates were sweet. But, I was partial to the jaspers and petwood this time. Chopper said Mom I found a bear! Glad it turned out ok! Love your videos 😊
You and Chopper are a couple of tough cookies. I love getting out in that kind of weather, but I can understand those that don't. I do worry a bit about your safety out there by yourselves, but I know that you know what you are doing. I think that I will always love the easter egg colors of the jaspers best. I have been out east of where you are last year (I was given special permission on a ranch on the river over between Miles City and Forsythe with a lot of river frontage). The next time I go up, next spring (around the end of April), I'll invite you along, but you will probably want to bring your kayak so we can get to the best places. It was probably my best rock hunting experience ever...and I'm kinda' old, but not too old to have fun yet. heh
Okay miss Kimberly, I have become a big fan of you and Chopper. The Jaspers and Agates are so colorful. So much character in your finds. Your enthusiasm is heart warming. There is nothing more therapeutic than being one with the sounds of nature and yummy rocks, minerals and gems. As you would say……. Rock on little lady. Your fellow Colorado Rockhound. ✌🏽
I love driftwood, if I find some that is nice shaped, I take them, have found one shaped like dearhead with antler, (small) an a lot of other shapes. Ohhh, that first Jasper was beutiful, so many colors. And you did find some good Agats too.
I loved all the rocks but the jaspers are my favorites. I really liked the electric red one on a dark background. They wlil, all make for great shelf and window specimens. Now, I'm glad you saw all the snakes and sent Chopper on ahead. It certainly could have worked out differently. Chopper gets extra love and treats. Woof, woof, woof. He did what he was supposed to ,blocked between you and the bear and cubs. Please be safe, happy and healthy. From Dahlonega, Georgia this week. 😷⚒
Omg: 😂 I'm so happy for you. ❤ I love all your finds. My God, I've never seen so many really great agates in one place. Hi Laura's my name. I've watched your videos before, this one, wow! it takes the cake . Fabulously shelf elf version.😊 lol, oh, I'm an amateur rockhounder, my grandpa showed my siblings how to find agates and independent fi, which told us a lot. I just turned 67 in July. You're doing a fabulously great job. 👍 Thumbs-up. Thank you.
You have the MOST COLORFUL rock field to hunt in!!! I don't know how you can leave ANY of them just layin' there!! Spectacular finds--thanks for sharing with us!!
I noticed after I started following your videos that you find the most colorful rocks on the Yellowstone! If you want to add luster to these specimens without polishing, choose a rock when you're going to spend a relaxing evening in front of the TV and just rub your hands all over the surface of the rock. Do one rock at a time and your natural skin oil will eventually burnish the fine scratches on the rock. This is what the Japanese do to their "viewing stones" 😊
I hope Chopper got some extra treats in his bowl that night after the bear......DANG!!! That hunt must have been challenging only taking good to go specimens, some boss level rockhounding 🤘😎🤘
Welcome back, haven't seen for a while now. Loved the rainbow hued jaspers. I envy that you had some cool weather, here in central Texas it's gotten over a 100 every day for over a month now.
OMGz you are awesome! Those Jaspers, and when you think that you have seen it all, you just keep finding one after the other. I don’t know how you do it! AMAZING
You always find very beautiful rocks. The colors are fantastic great job I’m 71 and I had to move to a mobile home park so I’ve been doing my own landscaping and I’ve been digging up really cool rocks you never know what you might find.
Hello MRM, I've been so busy at caregiving Mom that I haven't seen any of your videos lately. I'm so glad to see this one in my feed. You are talking about the bears as I'm writing this and om goodness, chopper is a true champion hero. Be safe and observant at all times and get yourself some spray and an air horn just in case. Rock On!
Im amazed at how beautiful the rocks are that you found!!! So beautiful!! I live in the rogue valley in southern Oregon with many creeks as tributaries to the famous Rogue River. Im usually after gold but do find some absolutely beautiful rocks during my times of prospecting. The rocks there put the ones here to shame!! I would go absolutely NUTS on that beach!! OMG!!! I would like to know if you sell any of your collections and if so where can i purchase any of your specimens? We have a lot of jasper, sun stone and agate around here. However, the jasper is usually a solid mustard yellow, or maroon color. What you found with an array of color are extraordinary!! Id love to own some!! God!! Absolutely gorgeous!! Please let me know!! Thank you!! Please dont stop hounding! I thoroughly enjoy your finds and wish i could be there with a truck!! I would go from a rock hound to rock hoarder!! Lol!!
SO nice to see you in your habitat!!!! As you pan the camera around to spray your finds, my eyes are darting all OVER the place, wanting to say STOP...Get thAt one!! I see you have bear spray with you now....good idea. I always have some with me whether riding or hounding!
I just stumbled across your post. Oh how I wish I were there with you. I'm having a blast just watching. I love rocks. Im in Iowa, haven't stumbled across anything like that, absolutely beautiful.
I'll tell you what, you're having a heck of a hounding year so far! Snakes, bears, what's next a Moose? The material you find is extraordinary and keepers for sure. Chopper is a keeper too, what a dog protecting you while you're out and about.. Extra rations for him! Thanks for sharing your videos and stories. Two thumbs up Kiddo.....👍👍 PS: Seeing you all bundled up and with it raining on you when it's a 110° here, was making me sweat and wishing for that nice cool rain... I also keep tough material on my shelves in the shop, they'll never get cut..
Of all the rockhound channels, you have the most incredible and consistent finds. I love your channel. Would you be keen to do a monthly round up of your finds once your back at your workshop. They're so beautiful and worth seeing again, all cleaned up. No pressure. It's just an idea. Much thanks. Rachelle, Australia ❤
So glad you and Chopper are staying safe!!! Garter snakes might seem scary, but they really are harmless. You've got great rocks up there. You Rock!!! 🐻

I have not been rockhounding in Seattle- but my sister lives in Spokane. I'd like to make a trip out there and do a week of exploring!
Love that blue color at 16:50, it could be wood, my favorite to find!
I had a Labrador that brought a big black bear on a full charge back to me one time WOW you are so right what your heart does at that point!
Heart explosion! 🌋 I'll never forget that moment.
Nice to see you out looking.
wow, what great finds!
That's the prettiest jasper ❤
Rock MOM, you’re the best ❤❤ these rocks wow wow.

Driftwood is so beautiful!!!! It's hard to walk by some pieces without picking them up.
Stunning specimens!!
Wow super finds. That river, some day I gotta get up there.
Those are awesome pieces

Welcome back, haven't seen for a while now. Loved the rainbow hued jaspers. I envy that you had some cool weather, here in central Texas it's gotten over a 100 every day for over a month now.
Heat yuck!!!!
Your spray bottle looks real handy! Haven’t seen that kind!
Your sight and vision must be perfect. You find the most exquisite and featureful rocks. Wonderfully all too good.
OMGz you are awesome! Those Jaspers, and when you think that you have seen it all, you just keep finding one after the other. I don’t know how you do it! AMAZING
You are definitely motivated. Nice finds hope Chopper is ✅ ok😮
Whoa your bear encounter was scary.
Beautiful rocks. We need to see your shelf now.
Thanks for taking us along
Glad the bear mom story had a happy ending. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Wow, I can't believe how many beautiful rocks all of you Yellowstone Hounds find in one outing. I would love to try it!
You always find very beautiful rocks. The colors are fantastic great job I’m 71 and I had to move to a mobile home park so I’ve been doing my own landscaping and I’ve been digging up really cool rocks you never know what you might find.
That sounds so fun! I love to hear that.
Wow que ágatas tan preciosas encuentras siempre, es emocionante, ya que yo hago lo mismo pero casi no hay ágata aquí, me encanta tu canal, blessings❤
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Oregon does have some amazing rocks you just have to know where to look. Willamette River is a good start
Oregon is on my bucket list. The entire state!!!!
So glad to see you finally have a cart for your amazing finds to save your back!! Funny Chopper fantastic hunt 😀😍 thanks for sharing!!

You find some of the most beautiful rocks! I would like to see them all cleaned up!
Very nice ❤
U really outdid yourself with the Jasper and some of the other rock , keep up the amazing hunting and rock on!

Never seen a video with so many beautiful finds!
Those Jaspers you found were amazing, Absolutely beautiful!!
Right?! I think so too
Muito top meu amigo e que lugar lindo.
Thank you friend
Those Agates are definitely worthy of sitting on the shelf.
They are great finds.
As always beautiful jasper & agates. I can only hope if my one son & his family get to Montana & go to the river can find gems like you do. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have to go rock hounding in Montana! You always find BEAUTIFUL & BIG rocks! Those jaspers are GORGEOUS! So colorful! Love it!!! ❤️ 😊
OMG!!! First a rattler now a bear with cubs no less! Hope you carry protection and Chopper has his snake shots. Fabulous colors I am very envious
Omg! The bear story😲😱😳 loved the colours on that 1ST jasper❤Thank you for this walk😊
Nice to see u back and loved your finds. Especially that vibrant jasper you found in the river. Drooling over that one. 😀
I just stumbled across your post. Oh how I wish I were there with you. I'm having a blast just watching. I love rocks. Im in Iowa, haven't stumbled across anything like that, absolutely beautiful.
Wow haven't seen on line and a while hope everything is going good for you.
I'll tell you what, you're having a heck of a hounding year so far!
Snakes, bears, what's next a Moose?
The material you find is extraordinary and keepers for sure.
Chopper is a keeper too, what a dog protecting you while you're out and about..
Extra rations for him!
Thanks for sharing your videos and stories.
Two thumbs up Kiddo.....👍👍
PS: Seeing you all bundled up and with it raining on you when it's a 110° here, was making me sweat and wishing for that nice cool rain...
I also keep tough material on my shelves in the shop, they'll never get cut..
I'm afraid next time could be a cougar...my worst nightmare
I bought Chopper a few cheeseburgers that day, not gonna lie...
@@MontanaRockMom , I would have too ..👌
@@MontanaRockMom , let's say, you never run into those cats!
@@michaelvandyke6715 Amen.
Beautiful specimens! The jasper are my favorite for their colors but some awesome wood & agates too!! Wow. Lucky you! :)

Incredible finds.
Those bright Jaspers were so amazing.
The Bear must have been so scary, no bears to worry about here in NZ, or snakes
The jasper at 14 min was stunning. Give Chopper a clap & a biscuit for looking after you with the bear. Cheers MRM 🍷
No, Chopper needs a cheeseburger and fries! That's what he got after the rattlesnake episode.
@@notinmanitou I stand corrected, a cheeseburger and fries it is
I get so excited when you open these up to reveal what's inside. Looking forward to the cutting party!
I think this was meant to be a non cutting just display party 😁
So glad you and Chopper are staying safe!!! Garter snakes might seem scary, but they really are harmless. You've got great rocks up there. You Rock!!! 🐻
Thanks so much
@@MontanaRockMom 👍👍👍
The jaspers on this video were phenomenal. I always love agate but it was hard to beat the colors in that jasper.
Glad to see you getting back out there for a good ol rockhound 😊
Really amazing to.. stone thanks for you.
Stunning finds. I do love your riverbeds. I wish Arizona’s shorelines, river and creek beds were this colorful.
Kim, your finds are spectacular.😊
Beautiful finds. I love the colors.
Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. Love the little happy face one. All are great
Oh my, that would be a scary thing to experience! Good boy Choppr! Stunning finds as always on the Yellowstone
