My brother lived on old holley road. I got a universal prybar. That looks like a rock pic at harbor freight tools. Its so cool
Nice!
Thank you so much for stating the obvious, but it is needed!!! Everyone please be respectful on other peoples property and or out in the forest!!!!
Lives on old holley
That is a great spot! Beautiful country too! It's like a box of chocolates digging there!
It really is!
I am SO glad to see folks willing to share what's on their land! HOW AWESOME!
I sure am glad you shared this! Thank you!!
You're welcome but more importantly, thank you for watching the video! Rock on!
The only thing you should leave in nature is footprints =)
:)
Fee digs have there own place in the rockhounding world, its nice to go somewhere and have a pretty much guarantee find. Sometimes tailings are amazing! I'm always surprised when I hear someone say "discard piles are there for a reason".
There is a place in Southern Oregon where you can dig for Carnelian but there is also tons and tons of jasper type material that it just scattered everywhere and I was told there used to be piles of it but someone must've come back and took all the discarded jasper that everyone else didn't want.
That ranch is easily one of the coolest places in Oregon. I dug for the first time there back in the late 2009. Maybe this year I'll finally make it back.
I hope you find some absolute beauties when you go back!
I sure will. I think this year will be the year. 😉
I have to check this place out. I have heard a buddy tell me about it when showing me a piece of petrified wood in his collection. I just never asked more about it. I always assumed people were talking about a "spot" where you can find it so I never over asked, thinking it was a honey hole type spot on some back road or something? This is so cool.
Nice finds Kyle pet. Wood is my weakness I love it.
Thank you! And there are some fantastic woods out there!
I have family in Sweet Home my grand father Floyd Murphy used to take me there all the time to visit his family. After he died I've had no other way to know them. Its s very beautiful place.
There are sure lots of beautiful places there in Sweet Home. I'm hoping to get out there soon.
I just moved here to Sweet Home and I'm so stoked about all the rocks! Thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thank YOU for watching the video :)
Good job, friend. I like the first piece that you found.
Thanks pardner
I love petrified wood and I find a good amount were I come from really cool stuff!!
That carnelian limbcast is super cool. Havent seen one of those. Thanks for the video.
It was definitely an interesting and cool find!
Thanks for the comment!
My family hasn't been to Holleywood Ranch in many years. From your description, it sounds like Brad or his father don't run the dig site anymore. We found many awesome pieces out there. Thank you Kyle, for another great video. 💚
It's run by a new family and will be having a name change soon. I'm just waiting for the official word before I help them get the word out!
And you're welcome! Thank you for watching!
This was a fun adventure. I like watching you dig!
I guess you could say that you dig it 😎
Best comment ever in a rockhounding video…….. DON’T POOP IN THE FIELD!
Agatized petrified wood is one of the coolest things to find and look at. Some can be so intricate and diverse. I did not know there was a designated spot in sweet home. Im from Corvallis so this is great news.
I'm also in Corvallis! haha
I will need to make sure that the family still has that open to the public by appointment as I would like to go back out there before too long! Just need to wait for the group to dry up a little more.
Love the Holleywood Ranch. Nice finds! I should get out there more since it's only about 5 miles from my house. Lol
I definitely want to get out there at least a couple more times before the summer ends!
The piece that you highlighted at 10:00 looked more like obsidian on the vid. Nice finds. good vid. Havagudun Kyle
I think it's because of the high luster appearance but I plan on cutting it!
Nice finds.
Thank you! I plan on going back here soon when the weather improves
Awesome findings. Looking forward to seeing how they take a polish. Also are you going to tell us which was your ‘unsellable’ in your beautiful private collection.?
I will during Thursdays video since the last two videos ran a little long :)
Is it a pay per pound?
Yes it is
@@WorldofRockhounds copy, thank you!
Is it open to dig for a fee now?
I've just updated the video description. You can text L.D. at the number provided for scheduling!
What do they charge to dig
Last time I was out there, it was $1.50 per lb
Thank you
