Oh you are so blessed to be young and healthy and able to get out and have so much fun. I too was a rock hound always. Now I am disabled...an old nurse. Thank you for sharing your adventure and treasures with us!
Funny how one stone, one magical work of art, can make your day. Just goes to show you, how the little things in life matter! God bless you Nate for sharing. Your friend, Kevin
Its wonderful to hear someone so passionate about our earths natural gems stones & crystals. America is so lucky to have these creek beds & stoney areas which yield up such treasures. I saw th heart shaped stone near th obsidian too! Im very lucky as well as i live a mile away from th North East coast in England, near a very old port area called Blyth in Northumberland. I found a place i call Pebble beach & its a tiny cove strewn wth th ballast dropped fr boats/ships just prior to turning into th port. Because vessels come fr evry port on earth, th ballast can be amazing. My beach cove has given me quartz, jasper amythist obsidian opal beryl marble flurites agates labradorite muscovite rhodolite garnets & much more. Many iv not identified, also fossils & bits of carved stone like petroglyphs. I hav a huge collection now after decades of hunting. Iv now got tools for opening up stones & revealing fabulous geodes. Its a BRILLIANT hobby 💖💎
Haha when I was little kid i would pick up rocks tht just looked cool to me not educated about them or nothing but if it looked like something or was shiny u could gurantee itd be in my pocket and on the way home with me. Now I'm 22 and I'm getting really interested again (don't know what stopped it). Every single one is different in it's own way and that's what I love
One of the videos from before I could comment. I am so glad I kept watching.. your channel was so important to me and my stability. Thanks for being so generous.
OMG, that red/ochre jasper though... And the agates... And those milky opal pieces... And the Californian Jade... I AM DYING watching such an amazing video!! I want to be there with you! 😭 *Breathtaking*
Oh man that’s a perfect way to put bein in nature by yourself, “the only crunching and munchings along the way” ah man that sound is bliss, mixed with a running creek 👌 and little gems along the way, priceless and worth the world.
Amazing! I could listen to you explain rocks all day. I sure would love to spend a few days looking for rocks with you. I agree I could do it every day of my life as well.
So much fun‼️ I have so many of those stones in my garden. I’ve been collecting for 40 years. Can I leave you all my lapidary equipment when I leave this planet? Ha ha where’s my rose quartz bathtub?
My wife is always questioning why and where all the rocks are coming from in and around our house. Can’t blame her because there was a time when our bedroom and closet had a lot 5 gallon buckets full of rocks. Not to mention my civil war collection. There were many times when our kitchen sink was full of artillery shells and dirty bullets waiting to be cleaned and/or disarmed. I haven’t always been quick about cleaning my relics.😱Thanks to one of my dogs watching me pick up Indian stone tools in my yard, I have a new mess to clean up. He decided to start digging holes. Well, one hole he dug is the remnants of an Indian stone tool workshop or something. Now I’ve got another “little” mess to clean up. The trouble, is that I must first find all the relics in the immediate area. I found a similar spot in the woods, near my home a few years ago. The hole there is only about 3 feet by 3 feet and a foot deep. It consists of “brand new” looking stone tools. I can go there anytime for a few hours and fill up a 5 gallon bucket with beautiful stone tools. That hole is in the woods so it’s not an eyesore to my wife. What I wouldn’t give for a new back?
I went on my first rockhounding adventure with 2 of my sons and 1 of my grandsons here in Wyoming today. Found some interesting colors and shapes. A few of my picks have the little caves with crystals in them. Now I need to get them identified. It's fun watching your videos. I especially like the way you get excited about some of your finds. Thank you.
These tipes of stones, with cristals in them are "geodes". They are very beautiful and often precious,too. There are a lot of kinds of geodes: usually, if not always,it deals with quartz, like agate, a particular type of quartz, often half-precious that you often find in these rocks. I've a lot of geodes at home, five of them with agate cristals inside, overall red agate, but also blue and black agate,and the others(four) with white quartz cristals inside.
You got my blood going !!!! My Grandfather introduced me to rock hunting (& I am 68), especially agates. Thanks for the video that allowed me to get out and see some great rocks !
Lots of green jade and apache tears around Alcove Dam in Wyo. White and pink quarts around Elk Mtn in the Snowy Range. Big chunks! Use to ride horses all over there about 50 yr ago. Liked to ride the Oregon Trail. *winks*
Growing up in Wyoming I found the tears always amazing ! Spent many days there around Alcove Dam. Hunted artifacts and arrowheads on the Oregon Trail too. My uncles both geologists got me into rock collections Never ending! I am in Oregon for the last fifty years but moving to Arizona to see what is there,
Bless your heart! Reminds me of some adventures my hubby and I took at Jaw bone Canyon outof Mojave California. Fun.I bought my grandkids tumblers last Christmas to hopefully engender their interest in the world around them. Thanks, Meg
Used to live in Folsom CA and spent many hours all over the foothills from Jackson to Lake & Sonoma counties. It's really fun to see my old stomping grounds represented! Cool!!!
you've come across more quality (diverse too!) rocks in this short video than i've found in the last 6 months. great day for you. thanks for sharing with us.
I like the fact that you have the quest and an inquiring mind. I also share the same disease as yourself, its called petrology. (the study of rocks in all their many variations.) Obsidian is peculiar to former volcanic upsurges of rapidly cooling fluids exuded from within the underground.
Great video. I live in a jasper state. I can see what jasper and other rocks and minerals. Have a good time on your next quest for beautiful rock finds. God Bless.
Cool! I'll never look at the rocks the same again. I had a cool rock collection as a kid and still pick them up when I'm outside but I sure learned a lot watching your video. Love that Jasper! Thanks.
I love rocks, so much my hubby and daughter think I am nuts. I'd love to be able to wander around and pick up rocks like you are doing, but my knees are totally shot. Walking is tough and I love to watch videos like this to get that rush when you find gems and special rocks. I call rocks, people. I love them. That multi color mother stone jasper looks like Mookite. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful. Loved all of your finds but the Jasper was my favourite. I've collected rocks since as fas back as I can remember. I need to go collecting with someone that knows what we're looking at. On to more of your videos. Hugs to all.

This video is very awesome and informative..thank you
Thanks for telling us what kind of rock we're looking at and letting us get a good look at them.
That red and yellow remind me of the Mookaite Jasper. Beautiful.

Rocks are awesome and tell a story about our planet.
I like the colorful stones like Jasper the best. They all have their own beauty.
I like the way you think-- and your approach to your hunt.
I remember when I used to crawl through that stuff ...no anymore..LOL! 😂
Rock hounding and stream wandering, sounds like my kind of day!!
Beautiful chalcedony clear white💚
Got to love how each rock has a story to tell you about how it came to be. Angelic opal was very cool.

I love the orange in that one rock it was very vibrant. Those opals are pretty nice too

My mother has a driveway full of crushed gravel and I find myself walking bent over eyeing the stuff up I loved your video and you know your stuff
I do the same thing everywhere since I started rockhounding! I am addicted!
This video was so great to bring me back to a rockhound adventure. Good days and good memories.lop
You got my blood going !!!! My Grandfather introduced me to rock hunting (& I am 68), especially agates. Thanks for the video that allowed me to get out and see some great rocks !

Vinegar is great to clean up rocks. It's the only thing I found to remove that black river slime.
I want to go rock hunting with you.
Your video really makes me what to get out of the house and look for rocks. I could just look in my gravel driveway today until I find a spot.
Wow amazing
The motherstone was incredible!!!!! Wow! I was drooling over that one!!
The long one you thought was a picture frame,,,, I think it looks like a three piece mirror that would have been on a lady’s dressing table awesome
Used to live in Folsom CA and spent many hours all over the foothills from Jackson to Lake & Sonoma counties. It's really fun to see my old stomping grounds represented! Cool!!!
that jasper was ridiculous
beautiful
WOW Brotha amazing !!! Great finds.
Still my favorite! Love, that jasper core, it is breathtaking. Let's go back to that creek.

Last two years I started collecting and learning about rocks. It's very interesting.

This is so beautiful and soothing to watch. I learned something new- mother stones. Thank you!
That core stone is one of the best looking rocks I have ever seen! Wow!

You totally sound like me when I am out alone, talking to myself and the rocks! Sweet finds!
Great video Bud !!
OMG That motherstone core is phenomenal...😮
Wicked stones dude.

It's like hunting Christmas presents. Love it!
That mookite jasper was spectacular!!
Wow, that jasper is amazing - I love hunting for rocks like that - glad I'm not alone
And wow! That red and yellow jasper was really awesome! It looks a bit like the noreena or pilbara jasper found in Australia.
WOW! You found some beautiful rocks wish I was with you.
