- Welcome to another video!
This is a long video, but didn't feel right to split up, so hopefully some of you like a longer style video. This was a 2 day hunt, although the second day wasn't as long.
This was an amazing hunt, and one I had been looking forward to. I found so many different things like banded agates, carnelian nodules, a seam agate, some mystery agates, larger agates, smaller ones, to jaspers, chert and petrified wood!
Hopefully you enjoy, and thank you for watching!
Tot de volgende keer

I hope you all enjoyed the video, I know I certainly enjoyed making it!
Which agate was your favorite?
There's also many rocks I wasn't 100% sure on what they were, maybe some of you know?
Tot de volgende keer!
What a great video. You found lots of cool agates, and that is a beautiful beach. Keep up the hard work.
@@rubysohogirl Thank you very much for your kind comment! It's great being out there finding these rocks.

Hey @dutchman, can you forward ke your email, I'd like to share some pics with you, thanks for informative video 👍🏼
@@pierremonteiro1299 Hey Pierre, you can send it to dutchmansnursery@gmail.com, thank you for watching!
I love your energy, it’s contagious! My favorites are the agates & carnelians.
Thank you so much! It's hard to contain it sometimes haha. Yeah they're all different, which makes it so much fun to find them.
wow this brings back memories about rock hounding with hubby. He has been gone a few years now. Enjoyed that life so much. My grandkids loved it too. My favorite stone is the agate. Enjoying your show.
Thank you Marcella! I'm sorry about your husband, I am glad however that these videos bring back those good memories. That's the best feeling I could ever hope for from one of my videos.
You are right! A lot of people wouldn’t pick 3/4 of what you found up! I would! I love the littles. You found a lot of cool ones! The last rock you found that you thought was pet wood, I don’t think it was. Hard to really be sure through a video but there’s a rock that mimics pet wood. Although it’s super cool and I would’ve kept it too! I love your excitement and your gratitude! It’s funny and it’s refreshing! I’m about ready to go on my bucket list rock hunt to the Yellowstone! I can’t freaking wait! It’s been a dream for as long as I could remember! :) you earned my sub! 👍
Haha! Yeah every time I go on a trip I tell myself I'm going to be very picky with what I bring home.
It hardly ever works lol. I will say that I end up going through them, and cull some of the less exciting ones, which I then leave on the trails in the park I live next to for others to find, who will hopefully enjoy them.
The Yellowstone is an amazing place to find lots of cool stuff, maybe one day I'll make it over there!
Good luck on your hunt, I hope you'll find lots of cool rocks!
Thank you for your kind comment! :)
@@DutchmansAgates I can hardly ever get rid of anything I find. Last year I went to Michigan and we hunter Lake Superior in many different spots and we ended up shipping home over 150lbs of rocks! Lol I would love to come to Oregon and hunt someday! :)
Oh and you are welcome!! 👍
New sub here. Very cool finds. I love walking the beach and finding cool stones. You are really fun and relaxing to watch. Can't wait to go through all your rock hounding videos!
Thank you very much, that means a lot! I thoroughly enjoy making these video's so there'll be many more to come. 😄
Lots of awesome finds! Great looking specimens of Petrified Wood!!
Thank you very much! It was unexpected, but happy with it for sure!
The first “ wood “ is a wonderful agate! Keep it. Beautiful finds, one and all! ☺️ They all look like hard rock candy! Yum. 😋
They sure do look like candy sometimes with as translucent as they get. Thank you for watching!
Man, this place is a rockhounders paradise!
Hi, so many beautiful finds 🌈 I love the jasper at 7:13 💥😊👍
Thank you! Yeah I like it when they have other minerals running through it, it gives a nice effect on the rock. Can't wait to find some more!
So many beautiful finds a that awesome beach ! Love the mix colored jasper ! Enjoyed watching 👍😊
Thank you very much! Yeah that was a great find, I don't usually find the mixed colors ones like that, it's usually just red and yellow.
Wow! Awesome finds! I loved your video, I thought it was coming to an end, then Part 2! Yay more Rockhounding and what a beautiful beach you were at. The agates and jaspers 🤩🤩❤️
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah the video's are always in order as I find stuff, so there's fun agates, jaspers, pet wood, etc. throughout the video!
If I find something amazing towards the end that'd be a good way to end the video, but that doesn't always happen. I'd rather the video be authentic.🙂
I like the dark red orange ones with bands ... I used to have a silver ring with such an agate set in it ... nice getting out rock hounding ...Thanks...!
Those are beautiful for sure! That ring sounds very pretty also. It sure is nice, the area as well. Thank you for watching!
you are so happy with rather small pieces...you make me smile!
je enthousiasme is aanstekelijk! topper!
Haha yeah, even the small ones are fun. I'm starting to find some bigger ones, which does make the smaller ones seem insignificant. I'm glad you like it though, mijn enthousiasme is oprecht!
@@DutchmansAgates it shows!
Jaspers are one of my favorite.
I am from Oregon, and the last time I walked Agate beach, I didn’t find anything. My Grandfather told me about looking for agates when he was younger. Picking up pockets full!Of course you pick up stones that I never thought were going to be pretty. I don’ live in Oregon(. I miss it a lot). Now I am land locked. I envy you!
It sounds like it might be time for a trip. I'm also definitely getting more picky as I do this hobby lol. Thank you for watching!
nice finds. And here I live, half mile from the ocean in Oregon.
Thank you. Hopefully that means you get to enjoy being at the beach often then, if anything for the beautiful view!
Oh man those are gorgeous! I've found a couple light carnelians on the Mississippi river near St. Louis but there's not nearly as many and they're smaller. Definitely love these stones. I want more!!!
Thank you, I love finding them, it's addicting lol!
The location matters so much in the different types and colors you'll find. It seems carnelian, white chalcedony and rarely black or blue agates is what I find here. All possibly having banding.
The east coast has beautiful tan agates, with amazing banding from what I've seen.
Thank you for watching!
Nice finds.....At 12:15 I would say that you found ---- common opal-- honey opal.....I might be wrong,but that's what I see.
Could definitely be. Common opal can be pretty translucent, I just don't think it's found much out here. But of course, could be wrong. Thank you for the comment!
Nice trip. I guess you had to have somewhat serious rock collecting education.
We don't have rocks here, unless you get some sand under a microscope and fool yourself, heh!
I've visited the PNW and visited some rocky beaches. So foreign to me, I felt like I was exploring another planet.
Thank you very much for your kind comment!
I've been watching and learning others for several years to know what I know now, and I'm certainly no expert but I do my best. In the Netherlands I'd only find quartz, I'd smash it open to see what's inside so this feels like a playground lol. So yeah I know the feeling of not having many interesting rocks to find.
You discovered some really nice rocks! The agate nodule at 17:05 is my favorite. That "Dalmatian Rock" at 8:46 is interesting! Possibly metals in the host rock leaching out and staining it black? Great jaspers too!
Thank you very much for your great comment! That nodule was super exciting to find, I always hope for at least 1 like that on that beach. And that dalmation rock is definitely an oddity, I think your guess is pretty good as the beach gets stained with minerals often. I found some worthy jaspers but there's so much of it, I gotta be careful lol.
20:37 is a beautiful piece of petrified wood. It looks like many pieces I found in Washington State, not far off the Columbia River.
Ahh okay, I appreciate the input.
Awesome finds!
Thank you!
Love your videos and I also love reading all the comments!! You can sure learn a lot from you!!! I want more videos!!!! Happy Friday!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼
Thank you very much! I do truly love how all of you get such enjoyment out of my videos, it makes making them even more worth it!
I'm going back out to make another video very shortly, so stay tuned. 😁
@@DutchmansAgates I have it set to get your notice!!! I'll be waiting!!! But aren't you getting a lot of snow right now, or is that all in the mountains!!?? The Twin Cites just took 2nd place in the wettest Winter since they started recording weather! What a joy!!!??!! I hope you are having a Super Week!!! Thanks for replying!! You do a such neat tapes, you gotta keep the videos going to be successful and richer!!! 🤣
@@kimfrommn7162 Yeah we got some snow a couple days ago, it's just warm enough for it to be rain now, there's still snow around but the roads are clear so should be good to go! Haha I'd love to do this as my day job, wouldn't that be a dream? lol 😂
Those are so beautiful I love carnelians. I didn't know what it was about him that I liked until I researched it a little bit and yeah current events are cool. I believe I saw your video about them coming out of the wall some months back. My family comes from about right there but my dad tells me stories. There's a creek up above there up off of our own family 40 from the late 18th and that's probably where they're coming from
Wow, it'd be fun to try and see where they're coming from!
ขอบคุณ มากนะที่สอนให้รู้ถึงสิ่งที่ดีๆสิ่งที่มนุษย์ทุกคนก็ครวเรียนรู้ถึงสิ่งที่โลกใบนี้สร้างขื้นมาได้อย่างไร
❤
looking for agate on the beach, congratulations on your finding, friend, greetings from Indonesian agate seekers.
Thank you very much friend!
The rock at 22:04 is amazing. Looks like it might be a little bit agate and jasper
Yeah it's beautiful! The inclusions are black, I was thinking iron oxides but could be multiple things.
Where is this? So much drift wood!! I would totally take that 😁
Oh you'll find driftwood all along the Oregon coast, plenty of that around!
@@DutchmansAgates lol I'm a Dutchwoman living in Ireland so I won't be heading that way any time soon 😁 I wish we had cool rocks like that!! Do you watch Theo Kellison, Montana rock mum, Agate dad, Rookie rockhounding and Katy did??
@@helgavoorneveld1530 Ahh nice lol, I'm sure Ireland's pretty amazing! There's gotta be lots of cool stuff to find there too, I'm sure. I'll watch Theo, Agate dad and Rookie Rockhounding, amongst some other ones like Michigan Rocks, even some Northern Mudlarks (I think they're Irish?) when they go rockhounding. Look them up, you might be surprised what they find there!
well done on the finds gl&hh😊
Thank you very much, you also!
Hi, I have a question, why agates? are they valuable? always see them when I go to the San Juan Islands
Some specific locations do produce valuable agates, one being Lake Superior, but even then the value is whatever someone's willing to pay for it. The ones that have value are also rare, and the best examples to be had.
I like agates because there's so many shapes, colors, bands, no bands, transparency, varieties, crystal pockets, etc etc.
They're all different and unique, so finding them is always exciting to me.
I would love it if you set up a cutting and polishing bench and made some jewelry projects and filmed the process ... just a suggestion tho I will still watch anyway ...!
I'd love to do that someday! I see a lot of rockhound channels do that, and I'm not ruling it out. We''ll see where the channel takes me!
Love the Oregon coast! I think that first rock is chert.
Yeah that's very possible, I do find that out there. Didn't look quite right to be petrified wood.
good video
I'm glad you liked it
The purple one looks volcanic
That's very possible
❤️💓💓💎❤️❤️💓
We were just in Bandon. I found some beautiful rocks, but very little agates. I like the northern coast better. Can you say where you are? I didn't find any good rocky places.
This is the one spot I found myself with no outside help, so I'm keeping this one. However, gravel bars all along the Oregon (and N. Cal and Washington) coast should produce agates. Just make sure you're also finding the indicator rocks like jasper, and you go early in the year, after storms, etc. for best success.
13;09 orbicular jasper. best way to tell. cut it and do a hardness test
I call those black agates "Blaggats:". lol
Haha, love it! 😂
does this spot have a creek that flows over a cliff?
Not that I'm aware of. There's a trickle, sometimes more like a creek coming out of the hills after a good rain though.
I didn't catch what beach you were on. Our favorites are short beach and Bob's beach.
This is one I prefer to keep to myself. It took me driving down 101 and stopping off at beaches that had gravel, and eventually found this one.
I live in a rental house where the landlord hardscaped the lawn with river stones. I have found some very nice agates, carnelian, red and yellow jasper, quartzite, chert, chalcedony, fossilized coral, and I haven’t even tried the beaches!
@@indyanne57 I've heard of people finding agates, etc in parking lots and landscaping, that definitely has me looking as well but haven't found anything yet lol.
That's awesome, you got so lucky!
So it seems the agate you find doesn’t have much banding. Is that normal? What would you consider an agate if there is no banding
Yeah the ones with banding are definitely more rare, I did fine some though!
If they're white with no banding it's chalcedony, if they do have banding it's an agate. If they're yellow/orange/red with or without banding I'd consider them both a carnelian agate. With banding still being preferred of course!
1;26 you found a rootbeer agate. it's defined by the color
I wonder if Geologists call them “ Rootbeer Agatez”
Bobby,the Netherlands.....
Vergeet ik je nog te vragen..doe jij nog iets met je stenen,bijv zoals ik hangertjes(pendants?) Maken of lapidary? Blessings,Bobby
Momenteel nog niks, dip ze in een beetje mineraal olie en dat is het wel. Ik wil wel graag een trillende tuimelaar (vibratory tumbler) kopen op een gegeven moment, om de stenen een beetje te polijsten (niet te veel) om ze een natuurlijke glans te geven!
Sandstone
Where is this? Trying to plan a trip to Oregon for someone who loves agates and I have no idea where to start! Thanks!
This is one spot I do like to selfishly keep to myself, however, anywhere along the Oregon coast where you see gravel beds is a good place to look for agates. Look for other rocks like jasper which are indicators where you'll likely find agates.
Beaches by Tillamook, Pacific City and Lincoln City are all great places to start.
I hope that helps!
Good luck, and I hope you have fun!
“I wish I had some water”
Aren’t you at the beach? Lol
Sorry thought that was funny…guess you probably don’t wanna get too cold though
Haha true, I think I was a little too far away from the ocean to rinse it off quickly for the video. I can handle the cold, usually lol
CANTIK ❤
Terima kasih!
Hi💐
Hey!
When I hunt I am super focused on agates only. Forget the Jasper jasper jasper and the “ sugar agates”. Brain wanders and the eye may not catch the transparency. I’ve been hunting for 55 years and I’m guessing I have 20,000 agates. Trained eye. I would never bother with video , it’s my beach time alone.
I hear that, I'm getting pickier and pickier as I do the hobby as well. Jasper especially has to be pretty awesome to take it home anymore.
It's not too much effort for me to make the video's, and once I started I couldn't stop. Thank you for commenting, and keep enjoying the hobby!
May I ask where you were on the organ coast?
Thank you for asking nicely. This is one spot I keep to myself as I found this one myself, driving down the coast.
However, the Oregon coast is rich with spots to find agates, some examples include: beaches at and around Tillamook, Pacific City and Liberty city. Signs to look for: gravely beaches that get hit by the tide, allowing agates/jaspers to get washed up. I hope it helps
We have this aget stone in may country
They're beautiful!
We have this aget stone in may country 11:05 11:08
And How can get suplyir
Very nice. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by the second part of your comment.
What do you do with all those? Make jewelry or what?
Currently just clean and display them. Some would look as a necklace possibly, maybe in the future.

Are you from Holland?
Yes, geboren en getogen 😄
😮 Vocês pode traduzir em português se essas pedras tem valor
Sim, claro.
Alguns fazem, tudo depende da qualidade.
A localização é um grande fator, e os com bandas valem mais.
Certas cores também são mais raras, tornando-as mais valiosas.
E claro quanto maior melhor!
Obrigado por assistir!
We have
Nice!
20:27 chert/flint
Does chert fracture that way though? I thought that's a jasper thing.
@@DutchmansAgates Flint, for sure, fractures in such a way.
100% agree -- looks like a portion of a good sized flint nodule. I read through all the replies to make sure I didn't duplicate someone else's comment. Dark brown, reddish brown, slightly translucent on the edges, conchoidal fracture are all indications of flint. It's the same chemical composition -- silicon dioxide -- as agate, jasper, chert, chalcedony, quartz, etc. The clean fracture like that makes it superb for knapping into arrowheads, spear points, other stone tools. Nice find!
