Yes EVERYONE do not neglect the gravel roads. Last Friday I found a 4oz. clear green agate on/in my favorite gravel road. The first one in 19 years of off and on agate hunting. Nice finds Ariel.
I found a shitton of beautiful green serpentine at my last job in the gravel. We had full gravel pathways around the nursery, and whenever it rained you could easily see the beautiful green 🤩🤩🤩
I am delighted to see your enthusiasm for this hobby! The "join date" of your channel nearly coincides with my entrance to rockhounding and tumbling. For Christmas 2020 I received a tumbler from my wife - and I was hooked from the start. I now have seven barrels going, each grit-dedicated, and I hope to get more. I live in the Rio Grande Valley which happens to be one of the best places on the planet (not an exaggeration) for rockhounding. The RGV is the opposite of "a Place You'd Least Expect" because I've come to expect that a rockhounding moment can and will occur anywhere, at anytime! Agates and petrified wood litter the ground - really. I have no special place, no secret location, nowhere off the beaten path, for finding outstanding material for tumbling. The pieces of petrified wood that are too big for tumbling now line some of our landscaping. When I need smaller tumbling media I just walk over to the roads next to the shopping plaza/theatre and scoop up a hand full of small agates while staying on the sidewalk. It's everywhere here in the valley.
Yeees! Dirt roads for the win!!!😂 never know what you might turn up! Looove working with unakite, such pretty stuff with a polish😁 we dont have much unakite in montana so its always a good day when i spot some; agates all over but hardly any unakite😂 awesome video! Keep em coming!😁
Right! It is so crazy what awesome stuff you can find on dirt roads! Unakite is definitely becoming quite the favorite of mine-especially when it’s polished! So jealous of agates all over Montana! That sounds awesome! 😊
Yes, this is awesome. So excited some of my best finds so far are from gravel roads, and my biggest too. Geode pieces, some agates, jasper, quartz chalcedony and a ton of black obsidian all found on gravel roads or off gravel road in the ditches. I even go on Google maps, zoom way in 3D or road side views on gravel roads and ditches. What a cool video, super inspired now!

Agates are beautiful. I am heading to Lavic Siding to pick up some awesome colorful Jasper. Hope to Vlog my adventure
Oh that’s awesome! I’d love to see what you find! Link your video below if you do!
@@AgateAriel will do. I have other vlogs but the jasper will be awesome
Oh definitely!!
@@AgateAriel If you're still interested, my lavic vlog is on my channel
I like the unakite..Its easy to tumble and look so nice polished.. and the best part is not rare😁👍
Yes agreed! It’s relatively easy to find and looks awesome tumbled! I love the contrasting colors!
@@AgateAriel I can give you one
We can be rock friends
@@russellmcclarnon1257 I don’t have a PO Box set up yet-thanks though!
Wew... I want to be there to collect those gems..
Right! It was a pretty great adventure!
I love going to the parks never know what you find.
I found a bunch of seam agate in a big gravel lot where people park their boats and RVs. Just layin around.
Very nice video you made!! Excellent samples, congratulations!!
Thank you so much! 😊
Keep up the good work! :D
Thank you! 😊
Just another day in Minnesota here! Can't help but do some pickin and stickin lickin!
I plea the 5th and I like this
Thank you!
love the unakite. Is the black streak in the quartz a small amount of black tourmaline?
It definitely could be!
You would love the beaches i visit on the Chesapeake Bay
How do you tumble such small pieces without them just completely disintegrating?
As long as I’m picking harder rocks (jaspers, agates, chalcedony, etc.) it usually isn’t an issue for me! 😊
Cool rock hounding adventure! New subscriber here
Thank you and that’s awesome! 😊
ECHO!!! ECHO!!! ECHO!!!!
She seems cool
Hi, how can I get to the location you were at? 😊
Where are you at
Minnesota!
Sorry but why would a Creek be the last place you would find rocks?
What do you mean?
@@AgateAriel a creek is an excellent spot for rocks
You're beautiful ! Cool video
