Those are plume agates, the more plumes you see,the better chance of getting what looks like flowers. The plumes will run in one direction, so cut the piece diagonally to reveal the ends of the plumes. Nice finds, but you passed up quite a few pieces other than the geode.In flood state the streams and rivers end up suspending tons of rock and sediment in the water. When the flow of water slows down the solid materials drop out. The heaveyest pices drop out first, so search the up stream end of the gravel bars for agates ,gem crystals and gold. I've been collecting this wayfor about twenty years. The best collecting is about one day after heavey rains, this allows the waters to recede and the mud to dry somewhat.Thank you for leaving material for others to find, we have too many site rapers in the field who ruin it for all of us. Good luck and safe collecting.
Can’t wait to get to Kentucky, we recently joined a rockhounding club that goes once in a while, we go back & forth from Pennsylvania to South Carolina but it’s a little too far out of our way for a pit stop. Looks like you are into some great material there though
Wow! The amount and size of agates you found is crazy. The botryoidal and some of the size of it is amazing too. Being from Montana I am very impressed with your agates there. Kurt from Rockhounding Adventures said to check out your videos and said what a great guy you are. Love this video, will definitely be watching more!✌🤠
Cool thank you so much. I’m hoping to get some new content soon. With my job carrying mail it’s been hard to do anything during the holidays so I’m hoping it’ll slow down some.
Awesome hunt,have not been out to collect since last Thanksgiving,because of shoulder surgery.I have not collected in Kentucky yet. I have hiked and paddled.Thanks for showing what's out there.Craig Miller
Just came across this. Nice video; thanks for posting. You had pretty good luck this day! I've had a few times where I had good luck, but several times, not as well as you did this day. I've probably been on 15-20 agate trips. I think I've been to this same area several times. I appreciate you giving folks a pretty good idea of what hunting KY agate is like -- the main thing that is hard to describe is how tiring it is, especially if you walk several miles of creek in a day. Thanks again.
Nice rocks. I think slot of those states are from broken geodes. I find slot of those near Somerset at a friends property when I come down from indiana
Loved this video. I'm a newbie from lower MI, so it's about 10 hours for me to get lake superior agates, one day. Until then I will sit here learning and watch from your videos. Currently only find quartz and some jasper on the creek and river by me. Cool variety, love the banding. Wondering finds. Just wow!
planning on going again this weekend I live in Irvine and am super excited to start agate hunting I've been geode hunting for years would like to add some agate to my collection.
They are more geode material. We don’t have rhyolite here it’s all sedimentary rock. But they are solid for the most part like thunder eggs. They are weird honestly how they give no indication how they are gonna look on the inside.
I think i noticed some very familiar locations on your drive to go hunt! Looks like you started somewhere south of Halls Gap in Lincoln county! And eventually made your way out 421 going towards Jackson County! Big Hill area!
Stanford,Lancaster, Crab Orchard, Cartersville, Berea,Richmond. I'm right in the middle of all of them. Found a sweet pickwick arrowhead couple weeks ago. Posted a video of it. Dripping Springs area
Super awesome. I live in Estill and newer to rock hounding. I’ve found some amazing pieces but watching you find things like that makes me wanna get out even more than I do. I need new spot to hound. Me and my lady have worn the same piece of creek out that we go to. Any suggestion on area? Keep the videos coming.
Just find anywhere public with creeks is what I do. Agate and geodes are really loaded in that whole area. I love it over that way. And go as much as possible.
I loved the video and the nature scenes. You found so many beautiful keepers. I just want to say I feel like the music is a little repetitive. Once you got to the creek and started hunting I think if the music died out so we the viewers could only hear the nature side this video would of been on the next level.
Thanks. This is my actual first collecting video so that’s good info. I really was unsure What to do at all. Just wanted people to see what I see when collecting. I’ll do what you suggest in the next one. Cause I’m sure the nature sounds would be so much better
Going through Kentucky this coming week with my 7 yr old son any suggestions for a good rockhounding adventure? I will be camping a couple days just between Lexington and Louisville
Hey man nice video!! Me and my girl are down here from ohio looking for agates and geodes..were staying in Berea....can you send us to a good spot? We kinda struck out all day today
Ok scrolled the comments and no one has offered this advice. Please pan your camera/phone a little slower or alot slower. It's kinda sickening. And I've never been car sick. But love your finds.
Where could I go around Clarksville TN to rockhound? I am only here visiting my gramdson for a few days. Somewhere within an hour or so. A dried up creek? Mississippi river? Can you please help? I am from MI and I can return the favor.

Thanks for the video. These help me learn what to look for. But maybe not the music. The natural sounds are a blessing themselves.
You have the most extraordinary agate finds. Your images are clear so we can appreciate them.
Thanks fir taking us along on the discovery path.😁💥
Thank you so much
17:21 That’s fossilized/agatized coral! And at 18:10, that’s petrified/agatized wood! I love Kentucky for rocks. I’m heading up again this weekend! ❤
That nodule at 10:26 is beautiful!
Can’t wait to get to Kentucky, we recently joined a rockhounding club that goes once in a while, we go back & forth from Pennsylvania to South Carolina but it’s a little too far out of our way for a pit stop. Looks like you are into some great material there though
DUDE! That “drip agate” was gnarly!!
Absolutely love that stuff!
Hahahha how funny, I call the same type of agates in Nevada, " gnarly agates."
Wow! The amount and size of agates you found is crazy. The botryoidal and some of the size of it is amazing too. Being from Montana I am very impressed with your agates there.

I have found some similar agates, I call it a gnarly agates😂! Your jeep is a beast! If I had that I would be able to find all kinds of rocks!
It’s a must in some places. Plus it lets
Me get a lot more stuff if I can find it.
planning on going again this weekend I live in Irvine and am super excited to start agate hunting I've been geode hunting for years would like to add some agate to my collection.
Gorgeous place and material! Can't wait to get my box! Yours is going out today!
Sweet man. And thanks. Yours as well!
Those agates are parts of geodes or thunder eggs. They are a mix of chalcedony and rhyolite, very pretty.
They are more geode material. We don’t have rhyolite here it’s all sedimentary rock. But they are solid for the most part like thunder eggs. They are weird honestly how they give no indication how they are gonna look on the inside.
Wow! Such a cool video!
Sweet finds I'm also from Kentucky makes me excited to see I can find
Kentucky is really diverse in what you can find. Just pick what you want and go lol. That’s why I love it here
Lawl
"Where do butterflies go for drinks?"
"The gravel bar"
Along with the agate! Lol
thank you this was a very nice and interesting video
Omg! The bots in that half! 😍😍😍
Gnarly ain’t they
It is beautiful. I love it!!!
Extraordinary stones, agates contain real masterpieces created over thousands of years. I love these geological masterpieces.👍🌍❤️
Me too!
nice trip , cool agates beautiful creek , subscribed you
Thank you so much. The area in Kentucky where these agates are produced is wild country. So beautiful there.
there are a lot of those geodes in rockcastle county ky.
I do a little bit of geode hunting there. I have found some nice agates as well.

I think you did great, esp for first time.
Your drip agate looks like petrified wood too me, not sure I like it went to Station Camp Creek Saturday in Ky
I found you through the end screens of Rock hounding adventures last video.
Just subbed
Thank you and yeah I’ve talked to him some. Seems like a good dude.

I am so ready for the plant life to wake up!
Ah me too!
What do you do with them all?
Where could I go around Clarksville TN to rockhound? I am only here visiting my gramdson for a few days. Somewhere within an hour or so. A dried up creek? Mississippi river? Can you please help? I am from MI and I can return the favor.
Sweet
Nice
Swinging that camera too fast. Makes people dizzy
Hey where is this in Kentucky?
Where might a girl go to find beauties like this? I'm planning a trip to eastern KY soon and would love to bring some like these home!
