I think that this type of hobby is highly underrated I mean I don’t understand how people can hold something from 50,000,000 years ago and not be absolutely mystified
Literally though, yesterday I went to a small river near Oregon to swim, and I just reached down in a pile of rocks UNDER THE WATER, and somehow pulled up a beautiful fossil. It was incredible.
Y’all don’t understand how bad I needed to stumble upon this video during my google search for hematite crystals in ky geodes😂. Had to move to CHICAGO a few months ago from Berea ky and I’m so homesick. I walk the beaches of Lake Michigan and take in the skyline view but it’s nothing like being back home exploring. But anyway, my point is that ive been struggling and this video was the best therapy ever to help me stop feeling sorry for myself…and not just because you found some nice agate, but also how you took time to show us the wildlife and nature along the way. That was very thoughtful and the world needs more people that appreciate those kinda things. The dead copperhead was neat. You know ur in a Kentucky creek with them. Lol. I’m The last few years I’ve seen them almost every time I got in my kayak. My bestie used to laugh about how excited I get when I find something good. I see why now cuz y’all react the same way. 😊 Thank you for lifting me up and not even knowing it. YOU ROCK GUYS.❤
I think Illinois is one of the worst places to hunt for rocks. Yes, there's Fluorite in the southern part of the state and Galena in the northwest. Someone had also said there were Keokuk geodes, I have my doubts but I could always be wrong. Wisconsin is better but I love the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, there's still some old mine piles and the lake Superior shoreline has some great stones including agates.
Dad joke ahead... My kiddos and I go fossil hunting with my Dad. His FAVORITE joke is when the kids will bring him a rock, and ask what it is. He tells them, “It’s a Leaverite.” Of course they ask what that is. He’ll reply, “Leave ‘er right there.” Aka a plain rock lol. Gets ‘em every time lol.
I love the enthusiasm and joy you both have. It reminds me of when I lived in Tennessee and my dad would take us out to the creeks to look for fossils 😊
I just found you guys!! If only I had found cool people like you…. I won’t say how long ago!! I never anyone in my lifetime like me!! I was a little kid who had sacks full of rocks!! Anything with crystals, and I had lots of agate( just didn’t know what those pretty rocks were ate the time!) I also had several bags of arrow heads. I live in Eastern Tenn, and they were so plentiful at that time. I would follow behind my dad when he plowed the gardens, and pick up handfuls of arrow heads. When I was about 10, we moved, on the same property, just to a newly built house. All my collections were left in an old shed at the old place. When we went back to get the things out of the shed, someone had been there and everything was gone, including all my arrow heads. It so plunked me out, I never tried very much again. I so regret that now. I’m so glad you two found each other, and now have a shared community of people who, like me, loves all things of nature. I may not be young anymore, but I’m going to be one of your biggest fans!!! Someone who shares what I love❤️ Keep finding wonderful things!! I’m so enthralled I feel like I’m right there with you!!!🙏🙏🙏❤️
You sound like me. Southern Indiana, I had three shoe boxes full of arrow heads. Years later bought grandma's farm and they were gone. All my rocks too.
Ladies please get back on that horse. Maybe not as plentiful but still awesome! Just be waaay more careful (like me) because we are no longer Spring hens! Lol, 😘 at least I’m not- will be 59 this year!
@@bethkahn8278 Sort of the same thing happened to mine Funny, I to had two bags, not boxes, and don’t remember how many bags of rocks, several geodes and agates, and milk quartz with little crystals. My mom and dad built a new house, and I had to leave them all behind, meaning to go back in a few weeks to get them, and all the rest of our stuff. But someone had came and stolen everything! Even my rocks, which was weird!! Anyway, collected a bit more in high school, but not since, sadly. To bad each of us didn’t have someone to share our love of whatever we can dig up!!! 😂😂😂God bless❣️❣️🙏🙏🙏
I live in Kentucky and it is a beautiful state. From Mammoth Cave National Park (The longest cave in the world) to all of our beautiful lakes. (Kentucky has more lakes per sq. mile than any other state except AK.) I am not sure which creek you were hunting in but we have fossils, agates, and geodes in many different places around the state. The Corvette plant is here as is the Corvette museum. We also have copperheads, rattlesnakes, black widow and brown recluse spiders and bear as well so be careful when out in the woods.
I would enjoy seeing your fossils under a microscope ! I've never collected fossils in Kentucky ! I'm older now & one should NEVER collect ALONE ! More so in NEW areas ! Could we plan a trip to hunt what I need find in that State . I sure would feel a lot safer ! It's time and money saving for us both , the way things are now of days , It's hurting everybody. I'm more the Fossil person then the other ! But yes , I once cut and polished for a few years ! But I'll always be for Coal Age fossil lover ! I know what & were to find it . Could you help ? Peace
BTW. The longest cave in the world is not Mammoth, it's in New Mexico: Lech. Just saying. I had no idea Kentucky had so much going on. Most people think the East coast is just more NYC and just as paved over...Fun fact: The tallest waterfall in the US is in upstate New York. The shale cascades are gorgeous.
@@leebasham6100 Actually, Carlsbad Caverns in NM is the largest cave in the world and Mammoth Cave is indeed the longest. (Google it and you will see) Mammoth has over 400 miles of known caverns and it is estimated to be over 600 miles long. I was a geology major in college here in the 1970's and we studied that cave quite a bit. I have been in over 12 different caves here and some of them are pretty amazing to see. Also, just so you know, the tallest waterfall in the US (and 5th highest in the world) is in Yosemite in CA at over 2,425 feet. (Google it) Still, The falls you mention are probably the tallest east of the Mississippi.
@@Authenictruthoid If you are replying to me and my comment, I am sorry but I do not collect fossils. I am retired and getting ready to explore the US in my van for the next few years, while I still can. Best of luck to you.
Thank you for taking us along on your adventure. I love seeing beautiful specimens and rocks being discovered in their natural setting Personally though I struggle to understand why someone would bash a full beautiful agate nodule to break it into random pieces when a specimen cut in half neatly is worth a lot more to collectors. The fun and suspense of cutting them open and revealing them when you get home is half the joy to me . Each to his own though.
Chris, the ugly outsides of the beautiful banded agates is because they’re geodes! They float down the creeks up in the mountains as the snow melts! Look up high on the banks to find the hollow ones! I love finding the caramel and blue botryoidal insides.
In 1969-70, my last year in the Airforce, I was stationed at Fort Walton Beach, Florida. I was doing some research on the area and found a book about this area during the time before the civil war. They were telling how sailing ships would come to the area between Panama city and what is now Destin to buy cotton. They had to have ballast in the bottom of the ship, so they used large rocks, much of which was Brazilian agate. As they loaded the cotton they would drop the rocks overboard. I always wanted to go diving in that area in search of large round rocks! Since I was a lapidary instructor in the hobby shop when I was stationed in Thailand, but family life didn't allow me the time to do it. I'm now 76 years old and there's no chance of it happening now! If any of you want to research it I wish you the very best!
@@patsmith5947 Water moccasins and copperheads, are the same thing. And there are many snakes that look similar to copperheads, though I am inclined to believe the one in the video is a copperhead, only because I cannot see it up close, and it's better to be safe than sorry.
The stuff you guys find is always so cool but I almost appreciate both yours, Bri's, and Kyle's just intense knowledge of the stuff out there more. Whether it's a random "rock", a mushroom, etc. It's what I watch for haha. Thanks for pumping the vids out!
I used to have relatives who lived on the outskirts of Potosi, Missouri. When we would visit them, we were always walking down to the creek to find our “diamonds”. They were rocks that had these big points on them and in the sunlight they would shine and to us, they were diamonds. I am sure they were some sort of crystals. I have sacks of rocks that my mother would pick up from all the places they traveled to. Some are marked as to the state or area she found them in. Watching your video took me back to my childhood and our “diamond” days! Thank you for sharing this!🙏
Such gorgeous country for sure. Love the flowers and fungi shots. But those rocks are fabulous. I would love to watch you cut them . Mother nature never quits to amaze me.
please, please, please...more rock cutting. i love watching your videos. Takes me back to my childhood of walking the creek on our farm and surrounding areas.
I was actually finding the fossils to be as interesting as the agates. Beautiful pieces of coral, and the Lepidodendron was of special interest! They are one of the more common plant fossils in Pennsylvanian age rocks, so probably fairly easy to find in the the Applachian area of Kentucky (coal country),
I would love to see more cutting on your agates and geods. Love your videos. The finds you have shared with the people who don't get out and about. The stuff is gorgeous.
We have tons of copperheads here in Western NC, too. That caterpillar has hairs that can teach a person quickly never to poke another one. Rockhunting stepped up to slightly dangerous!
This brought back the memories of all the times my dad and I walked the dried up creek beds by our cottage in Kentucky, also made me really miss my cottage! Beautiful video!
Having fun watching you both freak out over your finds. I’m thinking I need new appreciation for what is in every creek ,hillside in Mo. thanks for sharing
Depending where, where I am by Branson it's all Ordovician period rock, Jefferson City Dolomite, Cotter Dolomite and Powell Dolomite. I've never gone fossil hunting but I do know that Vertebrata developed in the Cambrian period, so I'm curious but have no damn idea where to start.
I know this video is a little over a year old but, I believe Bree (sp) beat you by a long shot on this one! You two remind me of a good friend and I who used to go hunting for arrowheads about 10 years ago. I really miss those days. You will always remember exploring nature this way with warm hearts 💕. God bless you both, from SA Texas!

You guys give such a great and fun vibe from your videos. You always find exceptional pieces and I learn something from each video I see! I'm glad to have stumbled upon this channel, y'all are awesome!
Thank you for the Nice and Enjoyable video... I'm also Fascinated by different rocks... I feel more Positive and High Energy just by looking at them and it feels better when I touch and hold them... They are part of Epic Nature and History, going back thousands of Years... Enjoy.
Wow! This is the second rock hunting that looked fun. I usually don't like watching these. Do you two even realize what beautiful stones and amazing crystals your finding? I'm a collector and you two are doing great! And all the other things in nature are awesome!
Come back to Kentucky sometime! We’ve got a ton to offer for fossil hunters/rockhounders Edit: the snake was venomous and that caterpillar is a saddleback caterpillar.
"The caterpillar is primarily green with brown at either end and a prominent white-ringed brown dot in the center which resembles a saddle. It has a pair of fleshy horns at either end. These and most of the rest of the body bear urticating hairs that secrete an irritating venom. Contact with the hairs causes a painful, swollen rash and sometimes nausea in humans.[2] In some cases, more severe reactions to the venom can occur. These reactions include a systemic condition called erucism or acute urticaria, for which severe symptoms may include migraines, gastrointestinal symptoms, asthma complications, anaphylactic shock, rupturing of erythrocytes, and hemorrhaging.[3] The hairs should be removed from the skin immediately to prevent more venom spread. Cocoon may also have irritating hairs and hairs from the larva can fall on surrounding objects." - wikipedia...
I love how you both harmonise over a precious and coo to each other. It's so darn sweet. God Bless and Bliss you both. Thank you for sharing the amazing vibes. 🖖😍❤
The fossil at 7:20 and 26:08 is stigmaria, which is part of the fossilized root system of the trees like lepidodendron. Nice video of your collecting trip; it gives people a somewhat realistic idea of what a KY agate hunting trip is like. (I've been on multiple trips to the same general area years ago.) The part you can't see is how difficult it is to get to (most of) the actual hunting areas. Lots of hiking and/or 4-wheeling, and you need to get permission to hunt most areas, since most of the areas are on private property, and the local residents are aware of the value of agates. Thanks for sharing.
Lived at ft knox , early 80's. When husband got home and settled and watch the kids, me and my malamute would go de- compress by running deer trails together. Once , on top of a hill i found: looked like little depressions in little clumps of quartz amoung the vegetation. Like rain had wore away the quarts over time... probably 30 or so just scattered around. I dug up one and left the rest for someone in the future to find. My Know-it-all rock club friend recently simply called it a geode and thinks i was very kind to not dig them all up for myself. I reminded him: i was just out for a run. Between ft Knox and Otter Creek, i know for a fact: Amazing stuff to see! Thank you for sharing 😊
I just found these videos and live in fl it's my dream to live in a state / area of the world where you can just wake up and do what these amazing two do beautiful videos keep up the great adventuring 🥰💪
I never knew that these stones are precious! We have lots of this kinds in our river. Traditionally, we go there to do wash our clothes and it has many precious rocks, fossils and agates too, I have seen lots but I don't have the knowledge. Now, I am learning and watching to gain knowledge about its differences. Thank you!
What a fabulous haul! Looks like you guys had an amazing time, and I vote that you go back to Kentucky as soon as possible. Box turtles and lepidendron and crystals and agate, all in one place!!
I was walking thru a cornfield and one of those caterpillars was on the corn leaf. I rubbed across it. It was an absolutely horrendous experience. Kind of like nettles but way more intense and long lasting.
Great intro footage! Thanks for taking us along on your hike-n-hunt! Thanks also for showing us the butterflies, mushrooms, dead snakes, flowers and the coolest of your finds cut open! I hope you never lose the sense of wonder I hear in your voice when you find cool rocks and when you cut them open!

Much respect for keeping to task. Personally, I had a time just watching..Bri is such good company and so fun. Cheers!
the nature is so beautiful
Come back to Kentucky sometime! We’ve got a ton to offer for fossil hunters/rockhounders
Edit: the snake was venomous and that caterpillar is a saddleback caterpillar.
"The caterpillar is primarily green with brown at either end and a prominent white-ringed brown dot in the center which resembles a saddle. It has a pair of fleshy horns at either end. These and most of the rest of the body bear urticating hairs that secrete an irritating venom. Contact with the hairs causes a painful, swollen rash and sometimes nausea in humans.[2] In some cases, more severe reactions to the venom can occur. These reactions include a systemic condition called erucism or acute urticaria, for which severe symptoms may include migraines, gastrointestinal symptoms, asthma complications, anaphylactic shock, rupturing of erythrocytes, and hemorrhaging.[3] The hairs should be removed from the skin immediately to prevent more venom spread. Cocoon may also have irritating hairs and hairs from the larva can fall on surrounding objects." - wikipedia...
.... ouch
@@joshuajones9035 i have seen these. Kinda thought they may be poisonous. Thanks. Now i know.
Can you say geode?
We are rock hunters in illinois. Where are yall?
I love how you both harmonise over a precious and coo to each other. It's so darn sweet. God Bless and Bliss you both. Thank you for sharing the amazing vibes. 🖖😍❤
Absolutely beautiful
I love watching the cutting process.
Ohmigosh, those AGATES! Also, I love the turtle. :)
Kate! Funny finding you here!😄 dont you wish it was that warm here in Montana right now!?🤣 i am itchin to get back out for sure
Katie I hope you got my last message about responding to wrong post
@@kallaanica7221 I don't THINK so - but sometimes comments all blur together in my mind. :)
Me too
Yes I would love a video of cutting rocks open. I'd watch all day.
That is the most insane color I’ve ever seen on any rock.
You should check into Lake Superior agates.
Yes, cut cut cut. Love this type of hobby.
The fossil at 7:20 and 26:08 is stigmaria, which is part of the fossilized root system of the trees like lepidodendron. Nice video of your collecting trip; it gives people a somewhat realistic idea of what a KY agate hunting trip is like. (I've been on multiple trips to the same general area years ago.) The part you can't see is how difficult it is to get to (most of) the actual hunting areas. Lots of hiking and/or 4-wheeling, and you need to get permission to hunt most areas, since most of the areas are on private property, and the local residents are aware of the value of agates. Thanks for sharing.
Huh. Just like devils tower then eh?
Yeah. I'm just hoping they aren't helping themselves to my land. We already have gas line taps and ginseng being taken.
I've always had a Fascination for rocks of all kinds with the different patterns, shapes colors and transparencies... time to get me a rock saw!
i love how excited you guys get, it sounds like you have a perfect relationship
Lived at ft knox , early 80's. When husband got home and settled and watch the kids, me and my malamute would go de- compress by running deer trails together.
Once , on top of a hill i found: looked like little depressions in little clumps of quartz amoung the vegetation. Like rain had wore away the quarts over time... probably 30 or so just scattered around. I dug up one and left the rest for someone in the future to find.
My Know-it-all rock club friend recently simply called it a geode and thinks i was very kind to not dig them all up for myself. I reminded him: i was just out for a run.
Between ft Knox and Otter Creek, i know for a fact: Amazing stuff to see!
Thank you for sharing 😊
That’s amazing Becky, thanks for sharing and thanks for leaving plenty for the next people who stumble up on the place!
Just found you and I'm hooked. You are both so entertaining!!! Although it's torture not being able to look with you for treasure...
Oh my!! She has an eye for sparkles. Love rock hounding too!!❤❤❤❤❤
Chris:"hoooo it's so pretty"
Bri: *raptor roar*
You two are fun and I'll watch more when I get back from my walk in the snow. Piece and good luck.
I remember when box turtles were common, is is sad they are endangered in some states, beautiful and interesting video.
27:03~That one is my absolute favorite!! The red band is incredible!
Beautiful places, beautiful stones! I'm happy to watch your videos. Greetings from Poland. 🍀
I just found these videos and live in fl it's my dream to live in a state / area of the world where you can just wake up and do what these amazing two do beautiful videos keep up the great adventuring 🥰💪
That was a copperhead (venomous), so be ware. Cool hunting. Gotta love Kentucky!
I never knew that these stones are precious! We have lots of this kinds in our river. Traditionally, we go there to do wash our clothes and it has many precious rocks, fossils and agates too, I have seen lots but I don't have the knowledge. Now, I am learning and watching to gain knowledge about its differences. Thank you!
Where are yall at? Washing clothes in creek? Been there done that! 😂
Brye is a treasure. If spelled her name wrong, my apologies. Great video as always!!!
Wow. Interesting video ✨✨✨ and beautiful stones!!! 💎 💎 💎
Since I’m stuck inside with the snow we have, I live through you guys. So thank you
Yes please love the videos where you cut stuff!!
Looks like an awesome trip guys!! I’m up in Rhode Island, rock and fossil hunting at the granite piers in Narragansett. Found some nice specimens!
We have found some of that fossilized wood here in Laurence Co. Kentucky. Much larger pieces, same bark pattern. Great show.
What a fabulous haul! Looks like you guys had an amazing time, and I vote that you go back to Kentucky as soon as possible. Box turtles and lepidendron and crystals and agate, all in one place!!
Hi 👋how are you doing?
Yes, I want to see your video on cutting rocks....very beautiful and interesting stuff!!!
Yes, do some cutting videos!!!!
YES! I could spend hours seeing your cuttings!😁
"He's dead guys. He's been dead the whole time." Made me chuckle lol!
Gorgeous finds. Love the plant fossils
I was walking thru a cornfield and one of those caterpillars was on the corn leaf. I rubbed across it. It was an absolutely horrendous experience. Kind of like nettles but way more intense and long lasting.
I'm happy everytime I find a beautiful stone. When I'm walking with my friends I always pick some pretty looking stones and make a ring or a necklace.
"So muddy.. OOooo" pans to flower. If this ain't what my brain do I dunno what is
lmaooo me too
@23:23 I can see an amazing butterfly design in the rock, it just amazes me seeing what nature can create. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for not taking the Lord's name in vain! I love the rocks y'all found!❤
You came to my neck of the woods I could have giving y’all a grand tour I have some awesome spots
Where is that? What creek name?
Very cool Bobby, we plan on going back when the weather is better!
Yes, whole video cutting rock wld b great!! Like finding treasure!!
That caterpillar was a Saddleback, and they CAN sting you.
Yes. I've experienced that. Definitely burns!
I've never seen one in real life, but I was really into bugs as a kid and that one was one of my favorites.
The snake is a Copperhead.
@@eb311235 A good size one too.
I step on one as a kid and it hurts like hell
Great intro footage! Thanks for taking us along on your hike-n-hunt! Thanks also for showing us the butterflies, mushrooms, dead snakes, flowers and the coolest of your finds cut open!
I hope you never lose the sense of wonder I hear in your voice when you find cool rocks and when you cut them open!
I live in Kentucky. I need to know where this is!! :)
Is that stuff valuable
@@kareemwilliams1233 to some extent yes, but they’re cool rocks people collect cut and polish
There's 5 counties where you can find agate like that, but I've never seen that color. Around rock castle
@@lapidaryguillermo712 very!
Would definitely be eastern ky since that's where the mountains are
That big round geode looked like an eye. Cool rocks! Love them! I would love to rock hunt with y'all! 😃🥰
Wow, you guys are so fun to watch! Love how Happy and Excited finding cool critters, plants, and fossles, and agate!
I live on kentucky!!!! I can't believe I missed you!!!! :) you guys are awesome!!!
