It's unreal in the south with the snake's and alligators...let something touch your leg in the water and you do that southern freeze and look before walking on water 😂 I grew up here and never realized how much we have, it's my normal. The moccasins get really large, personally I've seen some 5 to 6 ft. snakes, 15ft gators... Even a log can freak you out for a second 🙀 I'm like a cat, if it moves I see it, even if it doesn't, I see it 😂
With all the weathered rocks around there, I wonder if that was an aged waterline agate? It might have been interesting to cut open. Sometime it is amazing how wonderful the super aged rocks are inside. Love your content.
Thank you all for sharing your trip with us. It's so wonderful how you find something interesting and then cut to, it being cleaned, or even cut sometimes. We really love how you explain what you're seeing in the rocks as you find them. "A true sign of intelligence is someone that can talk to everyone. Not just the people that already understand what they are talking about" .. you've never used terminology that goes over a common person's head. If it happens I've noticed you explain. We've learned so much by your adventures. This video is so interesting. It's nice seeing you out of your element and learning more about your surroundings. You've given me the "doing" bug. I'm joining a rock club near me and it looks great online 😄 They have saws and polishing equipment. Plus you can take classes using the equipment. Anyway, we're enjoying your journey and it's wonderful seeing you and your husband so happy. I laugh out loud when Jim hands you a rock and you throw it down 😂 I've also seen the praise he gets when he finds "WOW, that's beautiful and really great Jim!" His face lights up. Again, thanks for sharing your vacation with us, and of course the beautiful rocks and information.
Hi! The music is all from the TH-cam audio library - there should be license links in the video description. There are lots of great songs there - I really appreciate the music creators.
I know of a place south of Mono Lake Ca. where you could fill a 5 gallon bucket with obsidian pebbles, from marble to egg size in less than an hour. Right along a paved road.
Next time you are in Camp Verde, we can show you where to find the agates, geodes, Jaspers, fossils, glauberite, selenite, and so much more! Tell you all about the geology. It’s pretty awesome! We live one mile from the Salt mine.😂
Look like some nice finds, different from what you usually find in Montana. Next time you find yourselves in eastern Utah head out I 70 to Yellow Cat Road. I found some huge seams of black, red, and orange agates when I was there last June. I call it Desert Sunrise Agate. Best wishes and happy safe travels.
Lovely rocks, and thank you for the great video. We just got back from Moab, and rock hounded not far from the Joe Wilson Wash area, on BLM land. One thing to let folks know is that they need to stay off the Cryptobiotic soil crusts out there. It does make the rockhounding more challenging, but it is very delicate material. Kinda looks like black pin cushions.
Hey how do u clean ur rocks my sister And myself like going rock hounding even tho we are amateurs we don't yet own a rock tumbler do you have any suggestions on the best way to knock off the weathering and do u ever use a Rock identifying app or you probably just know from years of experience I am doing research on rocks and minerals trying to become more familiar with the different types. But it's very difficult sometimes
Hello! The weathering is often fairly permanent - the only way to get it off is with a tumbler, rough grit and a lot of time. But for basic dirt and crud, just plain old soap and hot water will suffice.
I like your rock hounding videos… but, I opened this one saying, please God, not the song. Then at 1:45 it starts. I’m begging you, yes literally begging you. Please lose that song. It is a repetitive ear worm that drives me to the funny farm. PLEASE!
I know it’s def not but it looks like the gypsum I get in NM when I find Pecos Diamond’s. And OMG so pretty… lmk and I’ll share a good spot if you’ve never 💎 💜 🫂
I'm so excited! This is going to be an awesome adventure!❤
Bringing back so many great memories of rockhounding in AZ.
So much variety. Yes....watching out for venomous critters in AZ should be constant.

18:00 is pigeon blood agate
Background music is soothing

Love your interactions with Jim. Beautiful finds.

That’s fantastic! I hope you keep the bug for many years to come.
Yes petrified wood is everywhere near Winslow and Holbrook and around
I love Utah so much! Thanks for taking us along.
All are beautiful! I really like the green zebra rock.
Hi Katy and Jim!!!! This back round music I have enjoyed it very much, I would like to use it in my videos, where might I find it???

Julie, that sounds awesome.
Cool finds! Always a pleasure!
Those were Awesome rocks. Too bad so many had fractures.. Thanks for taking us along!
Yep, they really had a lot of fractures - but they're going to be great for tumbling!
Your Jeep must have been weighed down on the way home. LOL ❤😊❤ Thanks for sharing your adventures. ❤
It was, a little. Jim expected more, I think - he insisted on buying a topper.

Thanks for the warning! It's an amazing area, for sure.
I really liked the zebra striped one!
Awesome finds❤
Love it
Thanks!
That one that looks like wood is sneezed up basalt .❤
I think it's definitely volcanic, but there is an imprint that absolutely looks like wood - maybe a limbcast?
That one you slabbed with the white had a deer!
I've tried to polish obsidian before but never had any turn out!
The chips on the obsidian is made by long ago native Americans
You can find more obsidian towards Tuscon
12.48 sure is pretty!

You sure do like rocks
I do!
Hey Jim, remember for better or worse? It’s far better working with we , rather than him her

lol, I’ll check which one it is and try not to use it. We don’t want you going to the funny farm!
It is funny to see you searching new areas and you did find some nice gems though
