Lots of nice colors on this rockhounding excursion.. The project is to get a nice polished batch of similar rocks and give them to you to do something creative. It would be a good stitching spot but you would not be willing to get there.
This creek is beautiful, so nice to get out in nature, peaceful and grounding. Wow, what a gravel bar there! Nice to see Katana. Love those blue quartz finds! The purple is crazy beautiful! Nice petrified wood, and those pretty jasper colors really. I enjoyed this journey, thanks for the inspiration! I enjoyed how you walked around with your camera so we could see and look too, that was cool! Thanks RockHead!
Thank you for posting this video! My 3yo daughter and I have just started rock hounding recently and have both really enjoyed the experience. SE Va doesn’t seem to have much in the way of creek beds like I’ve seen in your videos, but we were going to try to strike it out near Richmond since it’s fairly close. Thank you again for inspiring!
Hey Daniel, Thank you for the kind comment. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Rockhounding is a great way to bond with your kids. Richmond Virginia is a great place to rockhound. It's on my to do list. I hear they have amazonite. A beautiful lite green rock. SE Virginia is not known for great rockhounding but I hear it's good for fossil hunting. Good luck on the Richmond trip.
Thank you It is a beautiful creek. I'm lucky ti live nearby. I think I was able to spit out quartzite. It's calcite that I wasn't able to remember lol Getting old sucks. Lol
Have you confirmed the blue is Quartz? I ask because I have been finding this here in Indiana for a few years it is mostly blue spots on host rocks. But almost an electric blue look. I have yet to identify it because it is only small spots not enough to do a Specific Gravity test on.
Yes What am finding is definitely Blue quartz. Blue quartz can be found all up and down the east coast but it us not common. It is in abundance in Virginia. It's commonly referred to as Virginia blue quartz.
These videos honestly, oh look I just picked up the hope diamond , why don't you slice some of these magic specimens so the world can appreciate your magical pirate treasure.
The hope diamond 🤣. I have an entire shed full of pretty cool rocks. I plan on doing a saw video soon. Right now I'm in the process of moving. Step 1, finish moving Step 2, rockhounding video because they're the most fun Step 3, saw video Step 4, tumbler progress check Thanks for watching and commenting
@@virginiarockhead237 Sounds good to me, I just got over COVID so I'm itching to get back outside more. Good luck with your move! Just holler whenever you want to link up!
@@virginiarockhead237 is is accessible to anyone or is it on private land. My son lives near Richmond and I would love to take a look there when I visit this summer!
Blues, Red and Purples…..all so beautiful. ❤️ What’s the secret project? The gravel bar looks like a great stitchy spot for me 😊

Would you be interested in swapping good hounding locations? ☺️ I’m in nova and am out every week hounding

I've really gotta get out rockhounding that way!
Hey Kaitlin good to hear from you. Maybe we can have a rockhounding/ saw cutting day sometime soon but right now I'm the middle of moving.

@@kaitlinvazquez1565 oh man the covid. Glad you got over that. I'll you know
Rock hunting is beautiful but becomes people in poverty
Thanks for tip
Where is this place? Is it North Creek?
right? where is it?
Where is this creek? Trying to find it on the map, but can’t find any thing called Nova.
Sorry it's a local term NoVa is Northern Virginia Accotink creek near Fort Belvoir
