  • After a bunch of rain we take to the creeks to see what the waters have unearthed. Carnelian agates, blue chalcedony, and many more treasure along the way.
    in order to create this video i would like to show super appreciation to the artists behind these beautiful pieces of music, and thank them for creating tracks for us all to enjoy.

      Back with its owners. So we left him at the local store because they said they had seen the doggo before and that the owners were in the area. The owners saw the pup that afternoon and took him home. He had been missing for a couple of days!

    Man, your videos are so much fun looking I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to take the family out hunting. We went up north to our cabin, checked out a small beach where a few weeks ago we found some different quartz. But it was already picked over. We followed the train track back to our cabin and Holy crap found a bunch of different jasper. We also found some golf ball size quartz and some chert. So much fun hunting with my wife and kids, it started raining on us and it made it easier to see the rocks. I found this crazy green rock, so bold in color with yellowish oh most like webbing mixed in it, super cool. Thanks to your videos I kind of had an idea what to look for. Still in the early stages, but I will get there soon! This video was awesome by the way way better find then I did, but one day I hope to pull out big ass agates and other beautiful rocks out of the creek/river. The dog was super cool in this video as well. Keep up the awesome work!

    I wish I had friends like you guys here , you guys just focus on those rocks! No one I know cares about rocks as much as I do and we live near a volcanic area from millions of years ago and peridot is everywhere in the desert! They are beautiful crystals of olivine and horneblend. Not everyone shares my enthusiasm about rocks. But the nice thing is on my birthday instead of getting me gifts they will bring me beautiful rocks they found and I am so gratefull for that. Love your rock videos! I love watching you guys look for rocks.

    Rock hounding is a beautiful addiction. There's something special about harvesting fat hunks of glimmering quartz and other curiosities from gurgling stream beds that no one would have ever seen if not for you.

    • @fungoorstitch
      @fungoorstitch 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Well put. The addiction part is also a great way to get people out into the wilderness again, which is always the real treasure no matter what you're doing in it. We've lost that, and it's bad for everyone because man was born there and was never really meant to leave. He was given heaven and everything he needed to enrich his soul, and he traded it for a gizmo with lights in it that causes cancer in laboratory animals and a factory hardhat. He's been miserable ever since, and when he hangs that hardhat on the nail at the end of the day, he has the audacity to look for heaven in the sky. Thoreau said "simplicity, simplicity, simplicity", and he was right. Me, I just say "go rock hounding".

      I wasn’t sure you were asking sorry. Best way is to google places in your area and rock collecting or mineral collecting. Also just exploring and looking down sometimes. But joining a gem club or lapidary club in your local area would be best. I hope this helps.

    That blue rock in the beginning was gorgeous but that dog was definitely a rockhound. You found some really awesome rocks on this adventure. Thanks so much for sharing.

    • @erinreou7924

      I can say that at least I live in Michigan and get to go Lake Superior Agate hunting! I see some rocks in your videos that I WISH you would flip! I keep saying flip it! Flip it! I think it’s an agate! Lol I don’t know for sure about there but the raw ones here can look like a rotten potato on the outside and I flip them over and WOW!!

    • @Rookie_Rockounding
      @Rookie_Rockounding  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Erin! Oh if you ever get the chance it’s a beautiful country! We are very lucky to live where we do. But Lake Superior! Wow! I dream of having a go at hounding out there!
      Haha! There is so many people who say the same thing about yelling at the video “that one! Flip it! Flip that one, not that one, the other one!” Haha, funny thing is that I’d do exactly the same thing haha, I guess you could say that we’re inadvertently saving them for the next time? Haha maybe?
      Thank you for your kind comment and happy hounding Erin!!!!

      Rookie Rockhounding I don’t know if you have heard of the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan but it is the most amazing place for all sorts of treasures and I’m planning a camping trip up there! If I find some awesome stuff (I am sure I will) I’ll make sure to show it to you! There’s copper, silver, gold, agates, diamonds, and a host of other amazing things to find! I can NOT wait!!

    • @Rookie_Rockounding
      @Rookie_Rockounding  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

I’ll do what I can and I won’t forget because you have shared so many cool trips with me!! I really love and appreciate it especially in this winter snow where we are forced indoors. I enjoy watching you guys! I do rockhound until everything is frozen to the ground though haha!

    You look like a more robust version of that dude that played the joker! That pupper is a rockhound, just like my mom's dog.
    I love seeing more rockhounding vids pop up, fills the void on days where I'm too busy to hound or the weather is too shit. Although, I hope this hobby doesn't become too popular. That would mean less treasure for me.

    • @Rookie_Rockounding
      @Rookie_Rockounding  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha! Other people hav actually said that before. Man he was a legend. Very sad.
      Thanks for enjoying the vids! I have to agree with you though, selfishly I hope it doesn’t get too popular 🤣😂🤣

  • @BackcountrywithShaughn
    @BackcountrywithShaughn 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Friday again? Dang i'm getting old! Nice sunrise and a great day of finds sir. The freshly stirred and washed gravels sure make spotting glowing goodness easier!👍 Rockhounds meet rockhound, rock dogs are so funny~ Great job getting him out of the creek and hopefully one step closer to home, if I could I'd give you a billion thumbs up for just being a good human being and watching out for those creatures who cannot do everything themselves. Not sure why they call them gravel "beds", I'm too busy searching and digging to lay down but you seem to have some good ones there at that creek with carnelian joy blessing your fossicking bags. Holy smokes cannot tell you how much I love the mixture of minerals you guys are finding in a single location and everytime you pull up a big piece on video i'm practically crawling through the screen screaming, "freak I wanna cut that!!!!" There's a place up north in Washington famous for blue agate called Ellensberg blue but ironically, it doesn't come from there, 35 million years ago a river crossed through the nearby mountain range and swept what material they find there down into the valley. It's a fairly difficult/rare find anymore with most of the folks who know of good spots keeping those close held secrets so don't go telling everyone where you are getting that luxurious blue treasure. Think it's time for you to head upstream and find the source of all that is wondrous and uplifting filling your pockets!
    Each time you two find another nice specimen is really awesome and gives me the feeling of when I'm out searching even when I'm not, thanks so much for sharing all the tasty treats with us sedentary tubers. (stuffed with turkey from yesterday and would drown out hunting today)
    PS. Who quits hunting after only 1/2 day? What's that all about, dawn to dusk is the best hunting as you get light at every angle IMO. Tell Benny a crazy tuber from the states is demanding more effort! haha 🤣 Thanks again gentlemen~

    • @Rookie_Rockounding
      @Rookie_Rockounding  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Backcountry with Shaughn
      Haha! Gravel “beds”. That’s a good point man, maybe it’s for when we find amazing massive pieces it’s where we can lay down and catch our breath lol!
      I watched an information session on those blue agate a while back, so interesting to see how far they travelled from the original source hey. Geology is nuts.
      Yeah the real life rockhound, what a gentle little soul he is man, I’m gonna stop in next time and see where he ended up.
      Definitely working our way upstream to where the source hopefully is. We found a spot on the map where it shows no creek, yet there’s one there, so we may start there and work our way down soon. Fingers crossed, you never know with this creek, it’s a moody one if rocks were emotions. If that makes sense haha! Sometimes great others just nothin. Makes it fun though.
      Oh yeah, haha! When Benny left I thought the same thing but we had our uncle out there with us for his first time to show him how fun it is but he had to head home. It’s so much better with others out there with ya though.
      Happy thanks giving good sir! Turkey coma’s are real man.
      Take care bud until next time!

    Would be a great spot for using a three prong steel claw with wooden handle to really dig down into that beautiful gravel. I use a claw sometimes but it is rather small. I also see people use short handled steel rakes which work nice in conjunction with a small 24 inch pointed shovel. Very pretty carnelian, guys. Have fun!!
