Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: I used to live on the Northern Washington State coastline. The beaches were rockhounding paradise!
Thanks for coming along on the beach hunt. That's so great that you were able to hunt the Washington coast, definitely rockhounding paradise! Thanks again for watching, cheers!
You know it I live in Olympia and I travel to Everett, a little bit past Everett LaConner back down towards Olympia, Ruby Beach and I found some pretty cool stones about the gold mother gems. Ruby diamonds a lot of smoky quartz one thing I do love about Washington state is we have a lot of gems a lot we have Ruby, sapphire, diamonds, opal, jade even gold northern Washington in eastern Washington filled with it, but I’m still a little bit jealous I’ve been wanting to live in southern Oregon and go prospecting down there for the longest time
Great information! I’ll be visiting Newport in the middle of February. Hopefully I can get out and find some nice rocks. I hope the weather won’t be too nasty to enjoy it 😊.
Hey, that's great that you're coming out this way! It's a great time to be here, though the weather could be anything at that time as well. At least you've got better chances for hounding at that time if you get a nice window of weather in there. Be careful, anyhow, those sneaker waves are an any time kinda thing. You'll have a great time and I hope you'll be sharing your scores for us to see also! Cheers and Steinkerns!
You make your hounding interesting and explain what and how to look for cool things. I like smoothe rounded rocks or any odd shapes. Agates of coarse and any type of animal bones or fossils.
Thank you for the great feedback. You make a great point about the shapes and edges being a great thing to look for. Gotta love the agates and fossils, but it's super cool to find strange anomalies too. Thanks for watching, cheers!
What a lovely day hounding at the beach, Ty for letting me go with! Lots of bone too ;) Good eye! Training the eyes to find what you seek is such good advice. Happy hunting 💜🌻🤘
It's so much more fun to take ya'll with me! That was a particularly good day for bones and then, like I said, there was a total lacking of steinkerns that day. So funny how things work out. Thanks for joining the hunt and for watching, cheers!
Thank you for all the great info! My little girl and I are really looking forward to visiting the coast this June! We enjoy watching to learn what to look for as we take a week to drive up and down the coast!
Awesome that you're coming for a visit! In June, I'd really suggest going to the beaches with rivers that come down the beach to be able to see some gravel. That's getting into our 'sand season' (around here anyway). There's always something to find and never a wasted day on the beach, so it'll be fun regardless! Thanks for watching, cheers!
@OzoneFineArtVentures Yes we really enjoyed it and we both love how knowledgeable you are explaining all the different kind of rocks that are out there... We will definitely let you know how we do out there.... Again thank you so very much ....😁🤙💯💛
You should! The best time to rockhound is in the off season, so it's pretty reasonable to travel. The only downside is the weather can be pretty squirrely, we get stormed off the beach a lot (that's what makes the good hounding conditions too, so it's a balance, lol). Thanks for watching, cheers!
Thank you for the input, I hope to be doing some prep videos very soon! I have done some light prep during a recent livestream on a Kemmerer fish fossil and have some acid prep and air scribe prep coming soon. Thanks for watching, cheers!
Thanks for the sub! I'm catching up after falling behind because our rock hounding season is upon us. I agree the beaches are similar to what I've seen, I'd love to go hunt there in oz. Thanks so much for watching, Cheers!
Great question! It comes from seeing those items from the fossil record in places like museum collections and the instruction of knowledgeable folks to start identifying fossils oneself. It's always great to question and get more information on finds from knowledgeable people as well. Often local Universities are a great resource to help identify items you may have found. Those are the resources I use to come to the conclusions you see in the video, and corrections are always welcome, that's how we learn. Cheers and thanks for watching.
I grew up in a small town on the Oregon Coast. My grandfather taught me everything about lapidary. Correct me if I'm wrong, but It used to be illegal to collect mammal fossils in Oregon. Has the laws changed?
Great analogy and so true. I've gone down to the beach the next day, after a great day, and had it already be totally sanded over or different. It's crazy, but it keeps us on our toes! Thanks for watching, cheers!
Heading to Oregon coast in a week and plan on a day or two on the beaches. Thanks for all the tips. Also, are all the red you don't pick up anymore brick or actual interesting rocks?
Hope you had a great time out here rockhounding! I don't pick up the reds because I have enough of them, lol. They can be amazing jasper, and then sometimes, they're not gemmy enough to be that interesting. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the tips, cheers!
Hi there, we have a few microscopes. One lower power one that has a 'boom' for larger specimens, and a typical lab style one with higher magnification for thin sections, slides, etc. We also have a digital one that does a pretty good job too, a lot of folks are getting those to see their specimens on their computers or phones. Thanks for watching!
It's hard to know at first, when you're learning the different materials and bone structures. After a while of seeing the fossil bone materials that we find on my local beaches, you start to get an eye for the tell tale structures and mineralizations of the fossil bone. If I'm in question, I can always take to to our local marine science center (OSU) and they can help me with identification. Thank you so much for watching and your question, cheers!

海岸でいろんな面白い石が見つかるんですね✨
😁👍 can't wait!
Thanks, Shawn, this is a fun one! Lotsa bones!
Way cool fines on the Beach. Bone & fossils. So awesome.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Glad you enjoyed! Cheers!

Thank you for coming, Mia!
Great video....ty Ozone 😁👌💯💛
Glad you enjoyed it, hope that helped. Thanks for watching and I hope you find lots of good stuff. You'll have to let me know! Cheers!
@OzoneFineArtVentures Yes we really enjoyed it and we both love how knowledgeable you are explaining all the different kind of rocks that are out there... We will definitely let you know how we do out there.... Again thank you so very much ....😁🤙💯💛
Wow awesome finds! Love all those pieces of bone! I'd love to come out there and do some rock hounding.

Interesting and inspiring! Thank you for sharing 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for coming along on the beach hunt! Cheers!
Really nice. Very informative. Thanks.
Thank you! Always a great time on the beach no matter what you find! Thanks for watching, cheers!
Great tips Karen 👍
Thanks, Terryl! Just trying to answer some of those FAQs and have some fun. Thanks for watching, cheers!
Would love a video of you prepping the fossil specimens. :-D
Thank you for the input, I hope to be doing some prep videos very soon! I have done some light prep during a recent livestream on a Kemmerer fish fossil and have some acid prep and air scribe prep coming soon. Thanks for watching, cheers!
New sub here really cool beach very similar to my local beaches here in oz. Thanks for sharing. 🇦🇺🦘

How did you know it’s a rib? The smaller fossils you sometimes called wood look like crab legs. Thanks for the video!

The Yellowstone River can be different every time you go to it. I would imagine that the seashore is ever changing even more than a river.

I live in Washington state. I’ve always wanted to go down to the Oregon coast whereabouts do you find all your stones out on what beach in Oregon?
What kind/microscope do you leave. I need on 😀
Thanks

Cheers Skywarrior! Thanks for watching!
@@OzoneFineArtVentures great finds... never got to explore when I was temp stationed for training 🫡✨️
How you can identify its a bone?
It's hard to know at first, when you're learning the different materials and bone structures.

I see about six faces in that rock though and it looks like it’s bone
