  • It is finally time to get back out rockhounding in Minnesota! It has been a long a dreary winter so this trip really boosted my spirits! I found a lot of really cool and interesting rocks for my first trip and even a really interesting looking fossil at the end! Thanks for watching!

    You can seal that wood with a gloss coat and keep that nice wet look. It will really bring out the color changes even when dry. 1st video I've seen of yours. Love rockhounding videos. Thanks for sharing!

    Okay I've watched your videos a little bit too much. Last night I had a dream that you came to Connecticut and like for some reason we got together and rock hounded and I just remembered and had to come here and tell you. It was pretty funny because somehow you like knew my cousin I think so my mom was like oh this girl does TH-cam videos about rocks did you know and I was like yeah Mom I watch her 😂

    It was a good first trip out. You dont have to find an agate every time to make it a good trip! Its getting out anf enjoying the rocks! All kinds of eocks are beautiful! I donr believe that was a fossil, it didnt look like a xoral to me but its hard to tell from my phone! I hope you brought it with you! Lots of good finds and i love chert and jaspers too! Thanka Ariel! Great first trip!

      Oh good to know! Yeah it was super unique looking and definitely felt lighter than it looked but I’m not sure what it is 🤔 Also very true about not needing to find an agate every time ☺️
