This episode, we visit First Creek and Red Top. After a long day of digging and hunting, we were rewarded with a few nice colored agates, and some other cool pieces. We didn't get as much video this trip, because we tried to do too much! More vid next trip.

I thought the priday beds were at Richardson’s. Polka Dot ranch is awesome and so are the people there.
Whaaaat?! Those are some insane finds guys. I just recently found my first blues but nothing of that caliber. Great video keep em coming!
Thanks Gunnar! I’m super happy that Andrew found his first Blue! Keep hunting, they’re out there!!
Those are huge! And super blue, great finds . You guys know all the good spots
Chris here, I’ve been hunting agates for over 30 years, been putting the time and miles in!! I’m so excited that Andrew found his first E Blue!!! Thanks for the comment, we appreciate you watching!
That was awesome!
Glad you liked it!
Nice Blues
Thanks!
Awesome finds man! Really looking forward to going out there a couple weekends from now. Lucky for me I live close💥 Also wanted to say I like how you structured your video with the Before video footage and the still framed After shot. Definitely coming back for the next one.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Good luck on your next trip! 🤞🏼🙂
हर हर महादेव 🤍🔱 जय श्री राम 🚩 Thanks for this video😇
You’re welcome. 🙂👍🏼
Awesome finds! I went to Red Top for the first time earlier this spring and managed to find 5 blues (little brothers to that big one) and a geode...beginners luck I guess. There was still snow in areas on the trail, a little gnarly, but I didn’t let that stop me! 😺
Sweet! Sounds like a perfect day...good agates and too cold for ticks!
We are heading up tomorrow so hopefully I can find my first Ellensburg Blue!
Good hunting! 👍🏼
@@chrisandrewoutside1560 wish me luck! Its my birthday!
Really nice stuff! You guys always have fun😆
Thanks!! It’s all about the fun! Enjoy what you do, or don’t do it!
Very nice finds! Are some of those considered Ellensburg blues?
Thank you for your comment. As a matter of fact we can now say that some of these agates have been confirmed as Ellensburg Blues. Thanks again.
nice finds man
Thanks, that was an awesome day!
I didn’t realize they start blue and could turn gray? Dumb question what’s the difference between agate blue and ellensberg blue?
Some agates look blue because of the matrix or dirt coating them. This is because of shadow, and isn’t the actual color of the agate. When you remove the exterior you take the shadow away and it reveals the actual color of the agate, which is often grey or clear.
Ellensburg Blues have a different chemical composition than other blue agates. The main difference is an elevated level of zirconium. 🙂
Can you tell me where you guys were at for the blues? I keep getting skunked!
HI Bree, this is a tough one to answer. The last couple we found were at Red Top, but you don't find them everywhere up there. You have to wander around and try different spots until you start finding greater deposits of agate in the area, and don't just look for nodules or geodes. Look for seam agate as well, with brown rhyolite coating the outsides.
You really have to put a lot of time in hunting out the different areas, and you can't expect to find anything blue every time you go.

Very... 👍
Road cuts?
We found some in a road cut, but the rest were dug or found on on a slope.
