There is a cave up near that butte that you have to crawl into, but once inside it's about the size of a small garage where you can stand up and easily walk around. Found tightly woven bark 'blankets' and wooden spatula-looking tools ALL left in place. It's probably really old stuff from when the pioneers settled into Oregon. Cool video on rocks..!!
Wow, those were some cool finds. I used to go to Church with a guy who was a rock hound. He had some cool stuff. I used to find a lot of arrowheads and some six sided crystals when I was in the clearing and grading business. Thanks for posting this. Very cool👍🏻
i am not into shooting much any moer due to P.T.S.D now plants and rocks that is a whole diffrent tale ! never dreamed i would see GREEN PETRIFIED WOOD! it looks like it would make a great summer trip to go and explore OREGON and WASHINGTON! just subscribed!!!
Thanks for the video. Went to Glass Butte and then this one. Glass had some snow, top 4" of soil was mushy but I could pick out rocks. Hampton was hard frozen (12 Apr 2023) and a fair bit of snow on the ground; too hard to dig or even pick frozen rocks from the surface. Off-season until May for county road crew, main gravel road was in good shape, 12 Mile was rutted.
Wow! What a chunk. I've been to glass butte a week ago. Going back first of the month. I have to look around this place now too! Ha ha ha ha ha ha. So much fun.
Thanks for sharing I have more inspiration & motivation to get back out there & rockhound because people like you see the beauty in the world others may not! Thanks!!😃
Blue green rock is just surprisingly beautiful. I wish I can find the same kind one day..Thank you for uploading. I thought that music was really matching video too.
I am born and raised in Oregon. We spent lots of weekends as a family looking for petrified wood in central oregon (Prineville). This vid brought back some very fond memories. Thanks!
This was a very cool find. Thank you for sharing. If I were to plan a trip to the same place, are there permits needed to look for the petrified wood? Do you do any guiding?
No permits needed. I do not do any guiding. It's a pretty easy dive out there. Even a passenger car could make it. You don't need a 4x4. The digging is pretty easy too. You only need to dig down about no more than 2 feet to find good material. I like to just hop into an existing pit with my rock hammer using the pick side of it and dig away!
Bring lots of water because that volcanic soil sticks to everything. No need for a truck to get back in that area. You can plan on moving a lot of material .... mostly rock stacked up on other rocks not to mention shallow roots (bring a ax). The best short cut is to use a tile probe and know the different sounds of diff. material. You will see some areas that look like bomb ranges.
@@therockpile6734 wood, but not the point. Limb casts are full branches, petrified wood is more generally shapeless, and usually more Jasper and agate mix. Limb casts are a completely different thing then just petrified wood.
@@ghosttownguy7472 I actually watched your video and did some research on it. I have similar stuff here in the Willamette valley. Matter of fact, I just put some in Iron out to see how they clean up. My most recent video shows some of my specimens.
So that last one was a cut peace of stump right..? It was smooth on both sides practically polished already, like a saw cut no? Petrified pretty quick. How do you know where to dig.. or do you just start somewhere?
Sure. The area we were at is a designated rock collection area. There is a lot of private property around so you have to watch where you dig but it is all pretty well posted with signs and fences.

😮 that is NUTS-O-RAMA!!

What a beautiful piece of wood!
I need to get out there!
Wow.. Amazing finds! Going to have to look up how and why these form. Those would make awesome center pieces or ambient lamps. Really cool brother
Thanks Kenny!

I'm impressed with your finds. I'm going to try my hand at it soon. Happy hunting.
Im working on a Paulina, Oregon pink limbcast marble. Its going to be over an inch in diam. That material would make some beautiful marbles.
One of my favorite Rock videos so far this year probably number one excellent now I have to go to Central Oregon
Blue green rock is just surprisingly beautiful. I wish I can find the same kind one day..Thank you for uploading. I thought that music was really matching video too.
Wow
DAAAAANNNNNGGGG !!!!! that is stunning! What a find!
Great area to hound petwood and other material... We go there every year... Nice video..
Sweet now I know what my huge green rock is! Thanks for the video!
This video has helped me identify some of my treasure that I wasn't positive they were wood. Thank you and I just subscribed.👍
I like the camp setup, i want a tent like yours.
I love that tent. Money well spent.
Incredible!!!! Thank you for shearing!!!
Hampton is a magical place I gotta go back
Very cool man..!
Thanks Kurt. Hope you are feeling better brother.

I try to get there at least once a year. Love that place!

Hoping to go back there in a couple weeks. Did not find anything like you did though. Nice!
That stump is amazing
That is spectacular!!!
Those are awesome! The stump is the best piece! Subscribing!
Beautiful material 😍

Fun Fact: some of the "petrified wood" were actually limb casts. (Agatized branches.)
What are branches made out of?
@@therockpile6734 wood, but not the point. Limb casts are full branches, petrified wood is more generally shapeless, and usually more Jasper and agate mix. Limb casts are a completely different thing then just petrified wood.
@@ghosttownguy7472 I get it, I was just giving you a hard time. 👍😁
@@therockpile6734 if your from Oregon witch I'm assuming you are given that you watched this video. Anyway look up Yadenite.
@@ghosttownguy7472 I actually watched your video and did some research on it. I have similar stuff here in the Willamette valley. Matter of fact, I just put some in Iron out to see how they clean up. My most recent video shows some of my specimens.
That piece at 11:22 OMG!!! They are all stunning. Great pieces. Do you ever sell them??
I never have, no.
@@coatsbrothersfirearms8406 that stinks.. if you ever do decide to please let me know I'd definitely be interested in buying some😊😊😊
Wow nice finds
Sharing your video, is that ok?
Sure thing!
So that last one was a cut peace of stump right..? It was smooth on both sides practically polished already, like a saw cut no? Petrified pretty quick.
How do you know where to dig.. or do you just start somewhere?
It is just a guessing game. Dig lots of holes. It's hit or miss.
what kind of rock is it in the pic with 100 dollar bill
I just found a 200 or 300 pound piece not sure what to do with it
Is that jasper?
It's that polished out of the ground ??
No. I used diamond polishing pads from 30-3000 grit on a 4" angle grinder with water.
@@coatsbrothersfirearms8406 WOW That's incredible !
@@nickjm37fordel1 Hey thanks a lot.
Is it legal?
Sure. The area we were at is a designated rock collection area. There is a lot of private property around so you have to watch where you dig but it is all pretty well posted with signs and fences.
R u sure those r all wood.. couple look more like bone to me,, regardless very cool finds,, rock on😎
No bone in that area, wrong type of formation.... All petwood, agate and jasper there...
Tebrikler , çok guzel
Way too much emphasis on the music and production "values"
Takes away from the topic
Haha! If you say so.....
Mantapppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp.apa nama batunyai
what mineral makes the petrified wood green?
In the case of Hampton Butte wood it is mostly iron. images.app.goo.gl/hBjNgMmBJVSEYLrm6
The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎💩💩😬
