Love watching your son being involved in collecting
I love that you are teaching your son this wonderful hobby.
Yes thank you! Now he’s old enough to be teaching me new things.
Amazing saves guys of Petrified wood chunks...New, Bigger saw on the horizon...hahaha inspiring videos! Keep up the Top Shelf Adventures! M.
This was just like CHRISTMAS Morning seeing all these gifts waiting underneath. Thank you.
Wow,great,I'm enjoy watching.
Great finds, I love and miss wa. Thanks for sharing guys 👍 and that's from a person that had the enjoyment of being a kid in Wenatchee 🙂
Use Muriatic Acid to clean off the Calcite. Works faster than Vinegar.
You can get it in the Paint dept. at your local Hardware store
I live in Snohomish and am unable to hike anymore because my legs are a bit wonky, but your videos take me where I can't go anymore. Plus you guys have so much enthusiasm about your finds it's just plain fun to watch. :-)
A sincere thank you. Compliments like this inspire me to keep sharing me and Aidan’s adventures.
Great video as always guy's... I can't wait to get there for the first time
That looks like the area I dug at last spring up there. Great stuff. Found a few limb segments about a foot long / 4" across around there! Great scores!
What a great trip! Pays to dig low. I love Saddle Mountain!
Hey, do you got a fb? Also, I'm going to saddle on Sunday if you wanna meet up? Hoping to find more fire opal at my spot up there.
Also, I love how you and your son work together and do so well getting material. Your dialogue when your dig is fun to listen to when you're digging. Whether it's for pet wood, crystals at crystal park, or wherever. It gets me in the rockhounding mood! Lol
Hello VM, Nice day out there. Thanks so much for sharing the hunt for pet wood. Great pieces.
I've been wanting to go to Saddle Mountain, now after watching this great video I will have to go.👀😁😎👍 Great looking stuff.
Just find a deep hole or dig deep yourself in an area adjacent to other holes to get into the earthy diatomaceous white powdery layer and you should do well.
@@vugmeister918 Thank you for the advice.👍
Interesting geology out there for sure. Neat how theres just a layer of basalt covering up a petrified forest!!! Love the rotten chunk that petrified, its easy to tell that your correct on that observation. Nice little log cross section at 23:16, you gotta polish that one too! Thanks for sharing guys. Love it.
Impressive haul! Makes a guy wish he lived close to Saddle Mountain.
Good rock tumbling wood stuff
Very nice pieces.
That was a fun journey! I especially like how you didn't get up early enough; sun is rising, why aren't we there?! Feel that! Beautiful finds, what a cool place.
I picture Aiden asleep as you speak and the sun rises😀
Nice job, I love digging in that soft layer that is like a brush pile. Hint at cleaning...Screw a plastic milk crate to a 3' square piece of plywood, put a bottomfull of pieces in the milk crate and then pressure wash them. The milk crate keeps them in place while the spray moves them around to get all sides and the plywood keeps the spray from eating away the ground under the crate. Makes short work of a lot of material.
Thank you for the great tip!
Love the rotten piece! Very cool!
great finds thanks for sharing
I'm addicted to you guys.
It’s a healthy addition 😁
It's always a good time up on Saddle Mt.
Sure is!
Wow awesome finds , saddle mountain gotta look at my maps and find this place if you don’t mind , is the soft layer of that whitish color dirt volcanic ash, they clean up really awesome, thank you for sharing 😊💙
The texture and consistency of the “ash” layer is very similar to the diatomaceous earth that is mined from open pits further north towards George. I believe that’s what it is. It is sandwiched between the Roza and Priest Rapids basalt flows.
Amazing
I will be uploading a video later in which I’m currently doing an experiment to see what works best, vinegar, bleach, or Zep.
Fun times good weather for it
Yes it was a great day.
Looks like it
@@AEON. IV notice lot of moral posting going on on FB groups
That's a plus
Great video. Do I need a high clearance vehicle to make it to this dig site or will a subaru WRX do the trick?
Yes a high clearance vehicle just because their is the possibility of high centering
Good solid dark color and density.
I would suggest vinegar to soak them in
3:30am was too late 😅
Horsehair worm. They are parasites of insects, but not mammals.
Thanks for sharing that! Good to know. I’ve seen a scorpion up there in the past also. They’re small.

I thought I had clicked on to porn-hub for a moment at one point. When you were getting, deep down and dirty. OMG, ABC-XYZEE
