    I love that you can find so much excitement in what is essentially a gravel driveway.

    That's a low-effort/high-yield agate hunt if I've ever seen one!

    Urban rockhounding is always cool. Can't wait to see them cleaned, cut or tumbled. Keep having fun and stay away from those pesky mosquitoes. 😷⚒

    The gravel in your area sure is prettier than what they use here in Tennessee. It's basically all gray. 😢

    That is so amazing that you got lucky enough to go camping in a place that just had fresh gravel, full of agates dumped! That is absolutely the luckiest! It's awesome! Thanks Ariel!

    It's always a great feeling when you find a variety that you haven't found before. I have also found that a lot of the agates I tumble polish have little amethyst pockets. I have one variety left to add to my collection of personal finds. That is a paint agate bigger at least golf ball sized. I have a ton of smaller paints.

    One of the girls that I work with is really in to rock tumbling (I'm just getting into it with my first tumbler), and some of her favorite pieces came from the gravel in the landscaping around where we work. For context, she has sent pieces in to national competitions and done fairly well, so she knows what she's doing. The finish that she can get is absolutely ridiculous. I hope I can get to that level some day

    What a crazy way to find so many agates! I'd be finding out where that gravel came from because they are likely to have larger material that's also littered with agates. I wish that area wasn't such a long drive so I could get up there and rockhound. Super cool!

    I recently spent hours walking up and down the creek and didn't find any agates (lots of petrified wood though), and then I walked over to the fairgrounds and found a nice agate in the gravel by the road 😄 I also found a bright red-orange carnelian piece in a driveway.

    Great find! I need your advice. I just tumbled for the very first time. I started the 2nd stage about 4 days ago. BUT, the rocks were obviously smaller then the 1st stage. They probably only filled up about 1/3 of the tumbler. I didn't have any media to throw in with the rocks. But I do have media coming today and will throw it in the tumbler. My questions is, did I ruin the rocks? Thanks in advance!

    • @AgateAriel
      @AgateAriel  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would probably pause the cycle until the media arrives! The issue with running the barrel too low is bruising/chipping on the rocks
