- In this video Jeff and I search Gravois creek for the ever elusive Union Road Agates and whatever else we can find. I also cut some geodes I found in previous videos on Jeff’s new 24 inch slab saw! Subscribe to @huntingrocks if you haven’t already!
I noticed so many things you missed, I wish I could’ve picked them all up..
Round concretions are called botryoidals.
The corals are called Hexagonaria. They are Michigan Petoskey Stone.
It’s Acrocyathus the ancestors of Hexagonaria. These are Silurian and the Hexogonaria are Devonian I believe.
@@dustinfindsrocks thats cool. Im going to look that up. Learned something. Love your channel.
@@dustinfindsrocks yep Devonian. Lizard people rocks?😁
I am a new rockhounder and I was just wondering how you know where to go to find all you beautiful rocks and fossils? I live in St. Francois county Mo. and plan on going up to the mine museum to ask as well.
There’s lots of places in that area! Haunted Ridge is nearby and there’s old mine pits in Mark Twain national forest. The museum there is super cool! My friend Adam donated a lot of the specimens in the mining display.
Thanks for sharing!!! Too bad you didn't find any killer stuff. Always have a chance next time!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉😎
I’m just glad not to get completely skunked. There’s not a lot of places to find them
Looks like Jeff found his license plate he lost in Utah. 😂
You got into some really nice coral there. Too bad about the union road agates though. Looked like fun using the monster saw. Oh man that geode you found by your house is wayyy cool! You guys find the coolest stuff.
The union road agates are a rare score but when the agate snobs say they can no longer be found… well that sounds like a challenge 🤣 we DID find some! So I consider it a success! I’m glad I finally got around to cutting that one I found a couple years ago! I actually found that in a video… I need to watch my old videos I’m not sure which one 😂 anyway I’m thinking it’s a type of geode/agate that’s not really known yet. After I find a few more good ones I’m gonna try to name them. Also Jeff and I definitely narrowed in on where the agates are coming from and know where we want to look after the next big rainstorm
Do you need any special kind of permission to rockhound in the state of missouri? If so, where do you go and what do you do to get it?
I enjoy watching you and Jeff collaborate! Those corals are phenomenal! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you 😊 yeah the coral fossils there are awesome. It was a super fun day
If you ever want another to tag along I have a couple spots to find things as well. I'm in Oakville. There's a lot of stuff near cliff cave/river
I still cant believe that first piece was concrete , it was so rolled and polished from the creek but still had the pits that made it look like a URA.
I do love that little bitty URA thats got to be the smallest any one may have ever found LOL .. Such a great video and an amazing day can not wait to do it again
For sure! Eventually we’re gonna find a good source
Omg a nice arrow head and it was totally missed lol. But lots of cool finds non the less
My boyz!!!!!
Hope you’re having a good Labor Day Cam
Oh wow. Currently watching and realized I was wearing the same shirt as Dustin! Rock on y’all!!🎉
Awesome fare well on your travels! 🧙🏻♂️
You cut geodes none are unions
Yep we tried that’s why I brought the geodes the URAs are an incredibly rare find. The areas where they’re located are all developed and inaccessible
