- Welcome to another video!
First off, this is a very long video, but since this was all just 1 trip I didn't feel right about splitting it up.
I'd love some feedback on if all of you enjoy these longer video's, or if you'd rather have me split it up? On this one I just based it on my own watching habits, and figured it could be watched over a stretch of time rather than 1 sitting.
With that said, this was an absolute perfect day. I found so many fun agates, jasper agates, jasper, petrified wood and a piece of chert.
The agates especially are so fun. A lot have banding, crystal pockets, nodules, some you can tell there's something inside, colors, all on the beautiful Oregon coast. Doesn't get much better!
I will make a separate video about all the stuff I found today, because there's a lot to look at, too much for this already long video.
Stay tuned for that!
Thank you all for watching!
Tot de volgende keer
(Until next time)

All of us agate hunters are strange and obsessed.😄
When I was a kid in the '60s, my family, on yearly vacations, combed the Oregon beaches from Astoria to Bookings. We would bring home multiple 5-gallon buckets of agate. On one vacation, I also scored five glass floats, one of which was 8". I still have them today.
That's amazing! Sounds like a great time to me.
That’s amazing. Great share! Glad you held on to them!
I Hope you're still enjoying them all to yourself. Way to go!
I live in the Midwest and this video has generated the biggest case of West Coast beach envy that I've ever had. Congratulations on your spectacular finds! Great video - thanks for sharing 😄
As is often the case, it's a lot of "being at the right place at the right time", that doesn't mean it wasn't a bunch of fun though lol. Thank you very much, and thank you for watching!
I live in Oregon and am going to the coast next weekend. I love beach agate hunting!!!!!
Good luck and have fun!
Wow that white agate at 49 mins is so freakin beautiful. Not to mention the huge one your wife found! Love all these agates. Beautiful beach too :)
Yeah it was a great day! It doesn't get much better.
I love carnelian! ❤️ Thank you for sharing your adventure!
You're very welcome, thank you for watching!
Wow nice chunck of Carnelian! and I love pet wood.
Never throw away a nice piece of jasper unless you can throw it all the way to the Netherlands ok?
wish I was there looking for stones!
I did watch it all to the end but on fast....makes you look even more hyped up hahaha
Haha, I wish I could! There's so much of it, I'd have it laying around everywhere if I took it all.
That's all good, I appreciate you watching it all. I considered splitting it up, I just don't think it would've come out quite how I would've liked.
I'm already looking forward to the next time.
Incredible haul!! Unreal amount of agates, congrats!
Thank you very much, I definitely feel quite lucky to have found so many!
Wow...super day for you full pretties...love it❤
Thank you, it was an amazing day for sure!
So much great information! I love the video!!
Thank you, I'm glad you like the video!
Bobby,the Netherlands...
Real nice day at the beach Martijn😂 so happy for U! Vooral de carneool zijn mijn favoriet,thanx for the video,enjoyed that,keep rocking lucky man👍👊
heey Bob, heb je mijn appje gezien of is het weer mislukt....
Thank you very much! Rockhounding on the ocean is probably my favorite, it's very peaceful.
Kijk alweer uit naar de volgende keer!
Love watching you find agates. Which OR beach is your favorite beach?
some nice finds well done
Thank you!
Love all your finds. I think you missed a big one, stepped right over it. I kept saying to the screen “it’s right there!”😅
Ohh nooo, I was probably looking through the camera. I've missed more than one that way haha.
GREAT DAY !!!!!
Over my lifetime, I must have walked over thousands of agates. Growing up in Texas, I always saw quartz "rocks," so I guess I was used to them, and felt that agates must have been the same thing. Zero interest, lol. I still don't quite understand the fascination with hunting them (I have lived in opal, star garnet, and thunder egg country for 23 years now). What draws you to looking for agates, and what do you end up doing with them? Some people just collect for fun, some sell, some polish or tumble or cut them. What's your deal?
Thank you for your comment. I like how most of them are different in some way, either in color, banding pattern or type (nodule, vein, even geode). I don't do much with them yet, clean them up, put a coating of mineral oil on them and sort them by size to look at. When I started it gave me a reason to get out, go to a beautiful beach, go to a peaceful creek/river. Then I made my first video, since I already made gardening videos, and turned out people liked to watch them, so here we are today. Thank you for watching!
Mooie steentjes Martijn,ben nog steeds nuts van de carneolen,op tv lijken ze net barnsteen,take care outthere,greetz Bobby
Dankjewel Bob! Ja soms laten ze zoveel licht door dat ze inderdaad erg op barnsteen lijken. Zou dat ook wel leuk om te vinden. Kun je op de eilanden vinden als ik het me goed herriner.
What coast are you on? The agates you are finding are like the ones we find on here in DelNorte and Southern Oregon.
That makes perfect sense, this is also the southern Oregon coast. Thank you for watching!
I'm jealous!
Great brother!
Thank you!
love how you grovel about the gravel. Just kidding. Nice finds.
Gotta get down low to see them sometimes lol. Thank you for watching!
at 9:13 You missed a something yellow with white swirl stripes
Ahh yeah, it's the curse of looking through the camera. Definitely not the first time it happened lol.
WHat beach is this? I have agate fever SO BAD! I just want to get in my car right now and drive to the coast!
This is one I like to keep to myself, but any gravely beach on the Oregon coast the tide can get to should have agates!
Are you being careful of the tide? Hate for you to get your feet wet :-)
3:45 and already 4 tide warnings... you must not have grown up on the ocean is all I can figure.
Just bustin your chops though... all in good fun ;)
I always try to be careful and aware of where the tide's at. In that particular timestamp I'm not close to the ocean.
I've always lived close to the ocean, pretty much anywhere in the Netherlands you're no more than 2 away from the coast. But you're right, I didn't grow up in a house with the beach right out the front door. How I wish.
where is this? I love Oregon. I was wondering why people was searci=hing something when I was on beach. 43:00
I refer to it as my favorite spot, one spot I keep to myself.
However, if you're wanting to get into rockhounding look for beaches where the tide gets to gravel/where new gravel is deposited because it can change from day to day. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.
Agatized petrified wood? Is that a thing?
People seem to find that a lot on the Yellowstone River, this looks similar, that's where I got that from. I could be wrong of course. 😋
Yes, agatized or localized, both are a thing!
Does anyone know what beach he is hounding?
He said Tunnel Beach in the beginning...
I know the location is being held very secret and i respect that, but are you willing to say if youre north or south of Lincoln City? I'm watching this vid with my son and he wants to jump in the car immediately. We're in Hillsboro.
Lincoln city is a Great spot!
Thank you for respecting that. It's further south, but just know that any beach with gravel that gets hit by the tide should be a good agate spot along the Oregon coast. Lincoln city as Carey suggested is also a good spot. :)
Thank you for your suggestion!
Can you tell me which beach you are on? Would love to give it a go.
Thank you for asking nicely. I found this beach driving down the 101, which wasn't on some website. So unfortunately because of that I keep this one to myself. When looking for a spot find a beach that has gravel, that gets hit by the tide. That's all you really need to find agates on the west coast. Notable beaches are around Pacific City, Lincoln City and Tillamook. I hope it helps!
What beach were you at?
I refer to it as my "favorite spot", I keep it to myself. I found this spot going down the 101 stopping at promising beaches. If you're looking for a spot to go, some good beaches are by Lincoln City, Pacific City and Tillamook.
the white you are finding is common opal
It's possible, I believe they're chalcedony though because they often have faint banding.
Do you just collect or have a store??? Do you live in Oregon or Washington State by chance my husband and I would like to meet you
Just collect currently, I've thought about opening a store once I get a saw and cab machine. I live in WA state. It'd be fun to do a meet and greet in the future sometime, if you see me on a beach somewhere feel free to come up and say hi!
Where in Wa
We live in the Port Townsend area
Where is the beach you are on? Id like to take my grandkids.
This is what I often refer to as my "favorite spot" in my video's, because it is. But this is one I'd like to keep to myself.
With that said, when you're looking for a beach containing agates, look for the ones that have gravel on them. Especially gravel beaches where the ocean reaches the gravel during high tide. That allows the ocean to stir up and deposit agates, amongst other rocks.
I hope that helps.
Oceanside is a cool place short beach...lincoln city..just a few....going in August....tell me your favorite spot what so you do with the agates you find....
@@wendicollinsworth6964 Currently I rub some mineral oil on them and put them in glass vases to display them. One day I'd like to give them a gentle polish, just to shine them up permanently.
Waw war a beatyful beach , bud i am trom Holland noce beach succes bye byr
What beach is that?
It's on the Oregon coast, I refer to as my "favorite spot". I found it driving down the 101, since I had to find it myself. There will be many I will share in the future.
leave some for the rest of us
I couldn't possibly find them all. :P
Where are you at?
This is my special spot on the Oregon coast. If you're looking for a spot to hound look for beaches that have gravel that can get hit by the tide, allowing churning of the rocks. Thank you for watching!
Do you have an email I could reach you at? I have only a 6 in tile saw and would love to get a hold of some small agates!
Yeah my e-mail's in the channel details. I'm not really looking to get them cut open.. yet, I just like the way they are for now. Maybe in the future.
If you tell me your favorite spot is, ill tell you where to find gold.
Why are you hunting in the dark? You’re strange.
I like to be on location before the sun comes up, so I can spend a full morning on the beach/river/creek. Is that strange? Or is it just strange to you?
I do the same thing at Damon point. Might as well look while you’re waiting for the sun to come up. I don’t think it’s strange. Got to beat everyone out there to get first pick
Love all the beautiful agates and the jasper!! I dislike the way you take the Lord's name in vain! He's the reason you are able to find all the beauties. And hearing you constantly invoking his name makes me cringe. In my view, hes name should be used reverently and lovingly not as a drop phrase all the time. Do love the vid tho! Thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. That has crossed my mind a few times, I'm not religious and Dutch people in general aren't very religious. However, I do realize my audience is mostly American which are more religious. I'll just not say it, not trying to step on any toes.
Thank you for being open to respecting others beliefs .it also helps keep your Chanel open to others that might turn away otherwise . @@DutchmansAgates
This is absolutely absurd
Get over yourself
Not everyone is religious or doesn't belong to your type of it
If you dont like it
Either stop watching it or mute it
