    Very interesting as always. Always entertained and educated at the same time.

    I've got so much jet now from these beaches over the years .too many beach combers .the minute a tide goes out the beach fills with people with bags..

    I loved the views of this seaside town! And the views from the beach were even more amazing.
    Awesome shots with the drone too! :)

      Thanks, I love flying the drone in the UK as they have sensible drone rules.

    Do love visiting whitby. Hope you called into Magpie for fish and chips

      Yes Whitby is a great place to visit. Fish and Chips will be coming up in another Cache Walk but not from the Magpie. Sounds like there at least a couple of nice fish and chip shops there.

    I would probably be using bits of coal to make wee souvenir sketches! Not so fond of jet myself, although I am quite sure I had a go at 'jetting' there myself some decades ago!..... Love your camera Lynn. Fabulous photography/drone footage as always.

      So you have been jetting too. The hunt for treasures goes on 🙂Thanks.

    Makes for very unique jewelry. Lots of coal eh? Is that where the term 'jet black' comes from?

    • @GeoRick
      @GeoRick  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Interesting jewellery as jet is quite hard but still soft enough to be carved without too much trouble. Yes that's where the term comes 'jet blac'k from.

    If i wake up in my home town,and hear seagulls they annoy me to death! But if i go to the seaside i love hearing them,i cannot explain it,but i yearn to live at whitby or robin hoods bay. I went last week with my dad fossil hunting and i swear i started crying when it was time to leave, im 40 lol 😂.I also found my first ever piece of jet,and i bought myself a jet ring from a local jewellers.

    I found my first two pieces of Jet recently and I was so damn nervous to make that test. They were a darker brown but most definitely brown. I don't know if there is a difference depending on where they are from. I found mine in Denmark.

    • @GeoRick
      @GeoRick  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great you found some. We too were nervous rubbing it on the sandpaper. I have read recently that new research says it comes from more than one type of tree so maybe that would explain the slightly different colours.

      They don't.jet is monkey pussle tree sap that is over 3000 years old.not the wood

    • @GeoRick
      @GeoRick  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      All our research says Whitby Jet is the fossilized wood from species similar to the extant Chilean pine (Araucaria araucana).

      ​@@YorvikRaven Jet is from a prehistoric species of Monkey Puzzle tree yes, however it most certainly is from the tree's wood and not it's sap
