Thanks Johnny!! My main camera ran out of juice towards the end but I think my phone did an okay job!

[@HitTheStreets101]

It looked good from my end. Cheers 🍻

I'm living through your adventures. 💎 Wonderful finds and digging the ocean sounds as well :)

[@mamlamborocks]

Thanks bro! I love the sound of the rocks being tumbled by the waves 😀

That was terrific finds. That gorgeous pink one with the bands, was stunning! And the white one with the blue spots is odd but gorgeous. And you biggest agate of the day, with the dendrites, is awesome! What great finds! That was a fantastic hunt! What a great day! Thanks for sharing!

[@mamlamborocks]

My pleasure!! I love that pink one as well 😁

Hello Sir - I assume low tide is the best options for rock hunting at Birdlings?

[@cole8996]

At 5:10 I'd be picking up the green one! :-)

[@trippytippi]

Anytime!

Great video! Also some incredible scenery. I’m curious what all the green rocks are on that beach? They were very pretty as well.

[@mamlamborocks]

I think they are mostly greywacke

[@dinodan7770]

Looks like a great place where did you go?

[@mamlamborocks]

It's a place called Birdlings Flat 😀 so many agates!

[@daz6372]

That wave came out of nowhere! That caught me completely off guard.

[@mamlamborocks]

Me too! That beach is quite dangerous, a very steep drop-off!

[@daz6372]

@@mamlamborocks The best ones usually are 😉

I wanna start doing this, I live close enough. But I don’t know what I’m looking for

[@nz540im3]

Also with my job I’m quite often near rivers inland also.

[@nz540im3]

Sorry to spam. I attended the gem and mineral show also recently. What is the most basic equipment you need to be able to cut finds like these?

[@spratb5323]

at a guess I'd say good banding is important

[@dinodan7770]

First

[@mamlamborocks]

Yay!
