  • Come along and check out the colorful rainbow wood I found, petrified in yellow, organge, red, green, black and more! The petrified wood in Montana is so cool. It really is full of color! It it quite agatized, fill of silica and polishes so nicely.
    Chopper was in full "fox mode" as he inspected the wilderness for creatures moving about beneath the snow, pouncing all over the place.
    Some great jasper and agate finds as well. Quite a surprisingly good winter rock hunt!

    Agate at 9:27 mark is surrounded by a Fabulous Frame of inclusions.. They will be lost if you cut or polish that . . So many great Finds.. The agate at 10:33 mark looks like Stingray with lots of fish swimming with it. Wonderful Dendrite.. Just WOW! I see trees like Theo when you hold up some of those Agates with Dendrites.. Lovely.. Fabulous Cabs for jewelry..

    You always collect the most colorful stones. I loved them all. I Iliked the wildlife and chopper hunting like a fox in the snow. The camera work was great as was the editing. You "done good". Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us. Woof to Chopper. Be happy, safe and stay healthy and warm 😷⚒

The one almost looked like a rectangular window with the silhouette of a person looking out. And that red and yellow jasper with the agate so colourful. Your finds blow my mind. Thanks for taking the time to video the amazing rocks and your rusty red puppy. He is so cute. Thanks Kim.

    Amazing stuff there. Congrats on having a "blue" day. I have a special place in my heart for Petrified Wood. One of my favorite things l own was found by my father out here in the Big Bend area of Texas. It is a Native American Hand Ax made of beautiful red, blue, green and yellow Petrified Wood. Our state rock here is Petrified Palm Wood. Have some of that too.

You should cut one of those blue rocks (howlite?) In half. I think if it's dyed, it wouldn't be blue all the way through. Or maybe it would be. I'm curious.

Just so many WOW finds on this trip. Those orbicular formations on that jasper are so cool, almost like a poppy jasper. I always wonder, do you guys choose the spots where the ads go when you're making your vids, or is there some algorithm that picks the point. Great stuff as always, thanks for posting.

      So, I feel like the weather changes here as much as it does in Wyoming.
      My son was born in Cody. In Billings, most of the fishing access sites are pretty friendly for ease of access. What gets more difficult is the ice/snow/mud depth. You just don't know too much ahead of time. I like KatyDid's Guide book on Rockhounding the Lower Yellowstone. Here is the link to her book: SO MANY BEAUTIFUL ROCKS! - A Memoir and Guidebook to the Lower Yellowstone River.
