I scoured this New Zealand river for some agates and other cool rocks

This was a great day of rock hunting despite the freezing water! I'm stoked with how well some of them cut. This was in Canterbury, New Zealand.

the antler handled tool is an awl, for poking holes in leather.

[@k.jespersen6145]

Antler-handled tool, definitely. It looks a bit like an icepick, but more of the cocktail party type than the climbing-a-glacier type. I wonder how it got into the snowmelt.

Great session! Looks cold 🥶

I thought that I had a voice in a quiet spot and shortly after

Nice finds, don't know how I missed this video.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

I had no idea NZ had such variety.

[@mariemoss2475]

Looks like you found an Awl, with a deer antler handle... Dating will be hard as you can buy them like that today... Unless you can afford a Carbon 14 test 😂

[@Paleos1000]

A small pick with a bone handle. Unusual.

Need some more episodes. Gemstone beach Southland?

[@lisawilson2912]

Some great variation there.

[@TheFullStar]

Just missed the live. Man I love hunting videos.

Very cool I look forward to one day hunting agates in the South Island. Interesting to see the Moa at the very end all stretched out (cant remember it being so long looking vertically). So cool that 3d print. Very inspiring channel totally helps me stay motivated to find amazing things.

[@robingw2615]

Some pretty finds 🙂!

[@Lilith-Rose]

Awesome video, we do get some interesting and unexpected things in my area due to the glacial till bringing stuff down from the north of england and the boulder clay but agates are both uncommon and very hard to find due to the vast amount of flint that they blend in with, only found one or two locally over the years. Cheers for sharing your finds and your expeditions with us

[@NexusNocturnal-cn9db]

❤ awesome find 😊 do you cut your own stones?

[@pirththee]

Looks like an Icepick.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Tool could be a leather punch

[@elusive4072]

What are the laws about collection rocks from the beach etc in New Zealand?

[@watertanker]

I love how you upload a few vids on this channel and dissapear for like 9 months and return and do it again

[@patchnl2699]

Any spots in Northland to have a look?
