Is it possible for you to start a patreon or gofund me so we can get you some storage for your wonderful finds? It wont be as great as that fabulous wooden drawers you have already, but it would be wonderful if we could get you additional storage for you other finds. Im not sure if this is something you have already done, so let me know. There are a few cheap drawers from ikea and such that would work great!
Can I just say "wow!". How wonderful is that to have a bit of something more than a quarter billion years old? Wow. And so astute of you to recognize it as anything. How many paleolithic tools and bits of petrified wood have dozens of us passed over out of sheer ignorance?!!? The depth of your knowledge awes me.
Lovely video Richard!! You are fortunate to have so many treasures of your own and available to teach others about! Much like a museum, not all wonders can be displayed and, cabinets for curiosities are not cheap. It must be a joy to sift through the boxes and re-discover hidden gems! Well done!
You are so interesting and share your wealth of knowledge with us !!!! Thank you for the peak inside your storage of treasures from the foreshore . I always look forward to your videos !!!!
Thanks for the tour, Richard. Now I don't feel too bad about the space my collection takes up!! And thanks for the review of your stones. Amazing that you hauled that large one home! Stay well!
Not to be contrary, but I actually like that you are soft spoken and not frantic and loud. Perhaps other commenters could turn on captions if they are having difficulty hearing the videos.
Love your cave of wonders! Richard, you should buy an old mansion and fill it with all your finds! I know you would make the decorating of it so interesting & mysterious! 🏛
Thankyou for sharing Richard. It is crazy the way they make garages that people cannot fit a car in. Sometimes people can get the car in but not open the door to get out.
I've always fancied myself an amateur geologist, and have my own top 10, but it pales by comparison to yours. Thanks, Richard!! Keep them coming, please. You are the best medicine for the Covid-19 quarantine. And that is brain coral!
Your knowledge is fantastic Richard. I live in Holland, although I'm British, we don't get stones and fossils here but you'd love the old pottery around the ancient cities of the Netherlands! I just started my own channel in which I'll try and show them.
HOLY SMOKES 😲!! I see why you didn't want to carry #10... it's part of a bridge🌉😂. VERY cool 👍. My favorite is the lapis 🥰. What a fabulous piece. I have a couple of pieces in jewelry, and it is so very lovely, lots of compliments when I wear it. Hope all is going well with you and your family. Staying safe and sane🤪😜? ☮️🕉️🙏's from the USA 😉. 🤗🤭😘to you and yours. 🙋
Won’t fit in the house for “whatever reason” aka the wife 😂 thanks Richard. Really enjoyed the display cabinet at the end and spotted your teglia mamata in the top shelf.
Great vid....thanks very much Richard. My best stone find is a complete iron age beehive/ puddingstone Quern. I found it on a field near my home .....it was very heavy!
Thanks for the video and the garage tour. There's material there for many more videos by the looks of it! Your not wanting to carry the graffiti stone from the garage reminds me of a line my brother would use when his construction crew complained about moving heavy materials : " You'd be able to move it if you were stealing it! " haha!
Great finds and I love your sense of humor. "They Cave of Wonders", makes me think you might have watched Aladdin, ten million times with your children, also. Hahaha.
The lapis is quite lovely, I've never seen it in any form other than in jewelry. Now I understand why you don't keep your finds in your house... Cave Of Wonders indeed! :-)
Richard Hemery the first Hampton Court bridge was built that year. The current bridge is Portland stone. Maybe someone engraving the year of the first HC bridge?
I very much enjoy your videos and knowledge. I'm looking forward to receiving your book. I wonder if it will help as i travel along the Delaware River...
Thanks again I always enjoy your finds and lessons with them. I must ask if there is any way you can turn up the volume or put the phone or computer closer to you. I have my volume all the way up and have a hard time hearing you.
Yikes what a hodge podge🤪 I was thinking you'd have large finds on shelves, displayed. Being stuck home, way to pass the time 😋should have wetted down that big stone, writing would have shown better?

Richard Hemery I have on, also in flint but smaller that yours. I was amazed to find out it was 350 million years old
@Sherlock's cat oh my, thanks, I never thought it might be valuable!
Thank you for sharing your finds and knowledge, I particularly enjoyed the graffiti.
Thanks Richard.
Thank you for sharing your collection and knowledge. I do get so much enjoyment out of your videos and lessons.

Great stones. Thanks so much for continuing with these very interesting videos while we’re all stuck indoors.
You are so interesting and share your wealth of knowledge with us !!!! Thank you for the peak inside your storage of treasures from the foreshore . I always look forward to your videos !!!!

Earphones also work well in those instances.
Yes, I always use Closed Captioning.
This is a great series of videos!
Cave of wonders ... love it .
Love your cave of wonders! Richard, you should buy an old mansion and fill it with all your finds! I know you would make the decorating of it so interesting & mysterious! 🏛
More space would be welcome.

Loved this! I could do so much with those finds. 💗
Hi Richard ,well really interesting Best Regards Tim

What a great find!

I'm going with *Bird* vs. Skull. Birds are so lovely :-)
Thank you so much. It is all so fascinating and interesting. Look forward to the next one!!
The lapis is quite lovely, I've never seen it in any form other than in jewelry. Now I understand why you don't keep your finds in your house... Cave Of Wonders indeed! :-)
First and now happy watching ..👍😃
Number 10, Portland Stone of Hampton Court Bridge perhaps?
It could well be Portland stone, but not found close to Hampton Court.
Richard Hemery the first Hampton Court bridge was built that year. The current bridge is Portland stone. Maybe someone engraving the year of the first HC bridge?
I very much enjoy your videos and knowledge. I'm looking forward to receiving your book. I wonder if it will help as i travel along the Delaware River...
I think it's more like a Treasure Cove. ;-)
Thanks again I always enjoy your finds and lessons with them. I must ask if there is any way you can turn up the volume or put the phone or computer closer to you. I have my volume all the way up and have a hard time hearing you.
Ok, sorry, I am softly spoken, I will have to speak up! Thanks for the kind comments. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos.
@@richardhemery6916 thank you. Forgot to mention I'm also hard of hearing so that doesn't help. Lol
@Debbra Bossier Dr. Hemery kindly does have Closed Captioning on his videos. Click "CC". I'm also HOH.
If the graffiti stone was a bit heavy to drag indoors how on earth did you get it off the foreshore and then home?!
It was a job and I'm not sure I would be fit enough now!
Yikes what a hodge podge🤪 I was thinking you'd have large finds on shelves, displayed. Being stuck home, way to pass the time 😋should have wetted down that big stone, writing would have shown better?
Good point, it was easily readable when I found it.
