Great video. That little amazing piece you picked from the river was awesome. Strange, There was so beautiful scenery and the bird calling with nature sounds. That's so cool rockhounding today too.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
That last piece of petrified wood that you found was awesome. Nice sunset also.
Thanks so much Susan! Yeah, that was a beautiful piece of wood!
Fantastic hunt Mamlambo,that last piece of petrified wood is a beaut 💪💪
I love it as well, so nice and chunky!
That was so cool! There was a lot of petrified wood in that area! That big chunk was amazing! And the big log looking piece at the end had some beautiful wood grain and color still left! When you cant tell if its wood or pet wood, you know its a gorgeous piece of pet wood, and nice size too! And the jasper and the chalcedony finds were nice too. But im always partial to petrified wood! Great hunt and thanks for sharing!
Yeah, this area is known for petrified wood, I love going there every now and again when the tides are wrong. The wood grain on it was amazing! Thanks so much for joining me on the patreon channel as well 😁
Great hunt I love petrified wood, just beautiful. Last trip I had over the ditch I purchased pounamu necklace for my goddaughter. I just love the spiritual meaning and story behind it. Just amazing. Thankyou Mamlambo 👍🇦🇺
Thanks so much Annette! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The necklace sounds beautiful as well.
Gorgeous finds! Love petrified wood. Those chalcedony agates are beautiful too, especially the second nodule, almost polished by the river/stream. The petrified wood is so cool from smaller and very blonde to bigger with better wood grain and to darker and really amazing. Thanks for sharing your trip and awesome new beauties!✌️🤠
My pleasure Kyla!! I'm glad you enjoyed it. That blueish polished agate looked very similar to gastroliths I have seen before 😀
@@mamlamborocks Awesome!
That big chonker at the end is magnificent.
I love it as well! It's got some decent weight to it!
Wonderful video and great finds. Super nice P.wood, and that chunk of chalcedony - wowza!
Thanks so much Lunar!!
Well well what a surprise! I've been following your fossil channel for quite some time now.
This is great! I've heard that New Zealand has some beautiful agates. I use to collect agate & petrified wood for many years. Now I'll watch you collect lol.
Some nice finds in this episode. All the best from the land down under lol.
Thanks so much Marie! Yes, we have a great amount of agates and petrified wood here in New Zealand and there are a large number of rockhounds, after every rain the rivers are full of people looking for agates!
Some great finds! And can you find fossilized wood in the north island as well ?
Yeah you can, it's all over New Zealand!
Awesome finds!!!
Thanks!!
Faaaar man! Your video's make me want to move back down south and just start rock hounding every month hahaha and wow! That's a chonker piece of p. wood, spectacular find once more!
Thanks so much! That was a really nice surprise piece of petrified wood!
Very cool finds!!!!
Thanks!
Would love to see a video from the Rakaia river!!
I haven't been there in ages! I'll try and get down sometime
That last big piece of petrified wood could be shaped into a cool half of a kitchen mortar & pestle! 👍 😃
True! It has the right shape!
Is it possible to tell what kind of tree the petrified wood would be from?
It could be, an expert would have to look at it. I've had some of my other pieces identified though.
Really nice ! Do you have an idea of what age they are ? Probably difficult to tell as they're not in situ I guess.
Yeah, I have no idea. Like you say, they have been washed down from some other area
Great video I have found a massive piece of petrified wood in Kowai river.
Where can you find petrified wood other than Kwai river in New Zealand?
Oooh that sounds awesome! Most rivers have petrified wood and I think it even washes up on Birdlings Flat
Why didn’t I know about this channel!!!
Hahahha I should mention it more often 😆
@@mamlamborocks Definitely! Came after you talked about it in your last video.
