Agate Hunting on Hidden Islands
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2024
- Join me as we rockhound for agates on several small islands around lake Minnetonka! We found agates, chalcedony, jasper, smokey quartz, agatized petrified wood, and more! The craziest part happens at the end when I find the most beautiful agate I have found to date in a place I did not expect!
One thing I love about rockhounding is you never know what you’re going to find! Another cool find was a piece of petrified wood, that upon closer inspection, had agate inclusions! Such a cool and unique find that is one of my favorite pieces!
If you notice a smokey haze in my video, it is from the Canada wildfires. The smoke has now mostly cleared from Minnesota, but it was/is a sad disaster that Canada is experiencing.
Thank you so much for watching and if you like this video please give it a like and consider subscribing to my channel for more rockhounding adventures!
Happy hounding!

I love agates!
Same!! Haha. They are my absolute favorite!
Killer finds, that agate from the landscaping rock is amazing.
Right!! I couldn’t believe it when I saw it! Such a great piece!
Amazing video, so many amazing finds. Love all the variety. Love the colors, petrified wood I'm a suckered for, still need to find some though. What a great day out on the lake.
Yes I do like the petrified woods! It’s so cool to think they came from an ancient tree!
Those are some amazing agates, the petrified wood was an insane find! It looks like real wood. The detail on it is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. The zoom-ins on the first finds were a cool effect. Loved it. Unbelievable red agate you find in the landscaping rocks. 💯💯
Right! I almost didn’t pick it up because that’s exactly what I thought it was! I couldn’t believe the agate I found at the end in landscaping rock either! Such a fun trip and great finds!!
14:23 neat. Looks like peridot
Agreed! It looks like amygdaloidal basalt with peridot inclusions! It was such a cool find!
Stumbled on your channel and just had to say I really enjoyed your rockhunting videos. That red one at the end is top shelf! Thanks for sharing your adventures thus far. Looking forward to seeing what treasures you find next!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like the videos! It has been so much fun making them!
Love the petrified wood with agate and the agate at 18:35!
Agreed! They were both such unique finds!!!
That agatized piece of petrified wood is super cool! Agates at 6:30, 8:04 and 10:52 are incredible!
Right!! This was one of my favorite adventures! There were so many amazing finds and SOO many agates!! 🙌
I like when youre looking down at stuff and I see something but you went for a different rock, and I just sit there like, oh. okay then. :P
I think you get a lot of rust color quartz in Minnesota because of the acidity and tannin staining of the water (I used to live in Michigan). If you cut into them the stain doesn't run very deep but they sure look nice and orangy when you pick them up. We don't see that much here in Wyoming.
Yes I have definitely noticed that! I love the unique features of rocks from different areas! Do you do a lot of rockhounding in Wyoming?
Found you on TikTok and now we subscribing #86. Very beautiful agate at 6:40 and that one at 12:08 I bet would look beautiful if you cut it in half. Super cool video. Great job 🔥

Thank you so much! That’s a great idea to cut the agate at 12:08! I’m currently getting a small pile together of rocks to cut and then plan to rent a tile saw!
@@RockHoundingAdventures thank you for asking! Currently Rockhounding actually found me on tik tok too and offered me to join so I am already apart of the group! It’s a great place to share videos and ask questions! 😊
4:17 looks like a melted bottle thats been rolling around in the lake for a while.
Right! I thought it was pretty cool!
