That green Jasper.... OMG. Speechless.
Right? I am looking forward to slicing and tumbling it.
Greetings from Southern California!
I watch your work when videos pop up in my feed, but not so much for the world-class quality of the dendritic agates, jasp's, and the perfect specimens of wood, but rather, I tune in for your smile and sunny demeanor. See, I'm house bound, for, my little Mom had stroke and heart attack in December after hip replacement surgery, and while in rehabilitation, she caught the dreaded CV. She was not doing well and I guess she hasn't long, so I brought her home. Home to the little house she was Born into 80 years ago. Where she took her first steps, her first bites, said her first words. The house is still in the family and is in my hands, the youngest of her 3 sons. As she lay seemingly unaware of life passing by, I lay beside her and watch whatever is on the feed, and when you pop up on the tiny screen, she turns her head and smiles, and so do I. Thank you, Mrs Katy, and blessings to you and your beautiful family.
I am so moved by your comment, Theo. Thank you for being with your mother during this time. I'm sorry life is difficult right now. I can tell your love for your mom is deep, and you are doing what you can. I, too, have three sons, and I would hope that one of them (probably the youngest :D) would care for me if I was in that state. Peace and love to you and your mom from Montana.
That little slab at the end is perfect
It's so sweet! I'm going to put it in the tumbler.
OMG, that Blue/ Green jasper was killer! Great finds.
:) Thanks! It was a very fun end to the hunt.
It is for me like many others a pleasure to see you all cheerful and full of vitality, to collect these stones which are thrown along the rivers for those who recognize them and make them ornaments which do not leave not indifferent a lot of jealous. Thank you for everything, Good day.
:) Thank you for joining me!
That last one was a BEAUT!
Thanks!
Those huge blue agates are fantastic!!! I was excited for you!!
Thanks - I was excited too. Could you tell? :D
Ha Minnows! 👀😂😂😂 you're crazy fun. Thanks for the smiles 😜😃😃😆💕
There really were minnows there! I just ... failed to catch any on my screen. I'm glad you enjoy my little bit of crazy.
So dotty and holey. Are those the technical terms? Lovely rocks to cheer us up. Thanks Kate
LOL, I realized what I'd said right after I said it!
Awesome adventure beautiful finds awesome video thank you
Thanks for watching!
Over the river ( or in your case through) and... through the woods... 🎼 a rock hunting we will go!
I am going to cry now lol. Such many pretty rocks! Be careful out there wading. And as always, havagudun Kate.
E. D. Law I brought a stick! And it was only a tributary, so I was never in any danger. Thanks for enjoying the rocks. 😊
Fantastic water line agates. I loved that piece with the star dendrites. So glad you crossed to the other beach and also can't wait for when it warms up and you snorkel for them, I beat there's wonderful agates in there. Yay Katy another great rock hunt 👍🏼
Thanks. :) Hey, the acronym for your TH-cam name is TOR - that's my son!
@@KatyDidRocks oh haha I feel cool now, it's a great name. my real name is Kelly 😊 not so descriptive.
Missed the live , but enjoyed the most beautiful agates you found
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kate It was as lovely here today so I ventured out to do my shopping just so I could get some sun too...didn't think about the fact I could have shopped on a rainy day (like tomorrow is supposed to be) and put in some of my garden today lol. See your going to wash the rock in the river instead of taking out your spray bottle wasn't such bad choice making as you thought LOl. Everytime you go out I get to go out safely and enjoy the water and the scenery and of course the rocks . Thank you Kate .
:) I am so happy to be part of your Covid-19 survival kit. :D Maybe you better plant your garden in the rain.
Love hounding Montana
Me too!
Wonderful finds! I enjoyed this adventure and learned a lot, especially that the agate are on the other side of the river. :) Thank you, Katy!
:D Well, I'm guessing they aren't ALWAYS on the other side of the river... I was just lucky. Thanks for watching!
What an awesome waterline! Is that the one you were telling me about? That's a slabber for sure! That coral is so cool!
The one I told you about, I think, is the first one - but the waterline is awesome also. :)
Love your videos
:) Thank you!
Beautiful piece of wood
I liked it a lot.
Great science experiment
I agree! :D
Lol upstream is harder than downstream. Loved the green, blue, jasper, all rocks. There ya go again finding pet wood, so easy. Fun times, TY.
It was so hard to wade back over there! Thanks for watching. :)
Hi Katy, gotta love those Jaspers
ALWAYS!
Vin hoje pela prineira vez e te achei. Não sabia que do outro lado tinha uma mulher que fazia como eu aqui. Lindo video!I came here today for the first time and I did not imagine that on the other side of the world there was a woman who, like me, mines stones.
beautiful video!
I am so happy you found me! What kind of rocks do you collect?
Dogs love rock hounding outings.
Kava certainly does. She knows, too - as soon as I put on my boots, she's on high alert.
@@KatyDidRocks lol they know everything don't they!
Some really great agates I like the first one the best. I bet it will be awesome when you slab it.
Robert Mandigo I agree! I’m working on being a little more organized in my slabbing videos, so you may see it soon.
WOW, I love the blue colour of the agates you found.
I was pretty impressed by the blue tones of the first one!
2:28 beautiful agate calling = and you answered :-) 3:48 Beautiful piece of petrified wood! Mine are no where near that size! What an awesome find! Crossing the water was definitely a good idea! 7:52 is beautiful find! Agate??
The petrified wood here can be pretty big - and I just keep picking it up! 7:52 is indeed an agate.
Kate, once again some lovely agates! The one with the "stars"! OMG! The little bonus at the end was great!. I'm pretty sure the dotty one was coral. We have a lot of fossil corals on Lake Michigan. Im wondering if you could put one of those crystals inside a molded resin piece to preserve them? That would look pretty cool!
I think resin is a perfect solution - I'll give it a try next time. :)
WOW 4:37 !!! Hot Dang woman! That's one heck of a find.
Agate Angler I was happy just with the first one - then BANG! How did your tests go?
@@KatyDidRocks They went really well. Of course now I am back to work in pediatrics and working a VERY busy schedule, so I'm not sure how much hounding I'll be doing.
Good news - back to work. Bad news - fewer AA vids. :( Glad to hear your tests went well.
I'm really jealous that I cant enjoy the beautiful natural sights that u have there . I'm stuck in a NYC apartment, my wife and I both need 2 loose some weight and I couldn't imagine a better way to walk off a few pounds than what u do in ur vid.thxs 4 the little clip of life there and especially those beautiful rocks ,I would love 2 get some cross cuts with my tile saw of a few of those water line agates . Lol sorry 4 the rant .have a good day ;-)
This has been a difficult time for all of us. I hope you and your wife are able to get out soon and enjoy the outdoors, no matter WHERE you find it! I know even NYC has some fantastic open spaces. Thanks for watching - and keep on doing. :)
I been watching your videos since I stumbled upon it a week ago. Today I seen this video and was excited to watch, but it shocked me that my sub button wasn't activated
So glad you joined us! You should have a good number of videos to catch up on. :)
Neet crystals thank you
:) Glad you liked it.
1:00 Again, that looks like a porphyry. Slabbin with the devilstone, are we? LOL!
Thirst Fast nope, because it’s PRETTY porphyry. Everybody know the devil isn’t beautiful.
It was a beautiful day, and you found some more amazing rocks! Thanks again for the great content Kate!
LOLOLLOL!!!! You re-grew the calcite! I've never seen anyone both etch and evaporate in one container! Try HCl (muriatic), you can get it at a hardware store. Much faster, though you should neutralize with a baking soda solution after *soaking* (not evaporating!)... You're always going to get crystals if you let your solution evaporate!
I may regrow it now that I know how - those crystals are purty.
@@KatyDidRocks I was thinking about it, I am probably wrong that it's just calcite re-growing. The calcite has actually reacted with the acid, not just dissolved, so the precipitate is very likely something different. Acetic acid and calcium carbonate gets you carbonic acid and calcium acetate. My guess is calcium acetate is what the crystals are!
Hold on while I put on my chemistry face... :'D
Love that agate at about 4:50. You could try casting those crystals in epoxy resin... just a thought.
I think I'll try resin next time!
I thought everything was big in TX, OMG we have found 2 agates where we live, the size of a quarter. You take the cake, giant agates and p-wood pieces!
:) Montana agates do tend to be much larger than other types. I feel lucky to live here.
@@KatyDidRocks I like Montana, ewwww for TX just too stinking hot here :(
It does get really hot here in the summer (more than 100F), but it also is REALLY dry.
@@KatyDidRocks Oh I forget east MT is desert lol.
Wow, those two large agates are awesome. Curious, how do you clean yours up and do you polish or tumble them at all, that size? I been bathing mine in acid and water 1-2 weeks and drying the same time, then again as needed; and find they come out pretty nice and the bands if any show well. Even discovered bands on some that didnt show any signs in the water or sun, so that was cool. Would love to know see those two in this video all cleaned up and polished or such! Thanks for the great video and the fun nature that you are. Chris
These particular ones I soaked in vinegar. The rind on them was calcium carbonate.
How
Rock- *Has the Darkness
Kate- "DEVILSTONE!!!"
If only I could cast out the devils, it would become an agate.
@@KatyDidRocks Oohhhhh! So the lines are actually the rock's spirit purifying! I get it now!
@@thirstfast1025 This is science.
4:10 haha! I love how it looks like there's some kind of crazy paw-mark in that one!
Thirst Fast now THAT would set geology on its ear!
2:25 looks like a curled up hedgehog.
It certainly does! Fewer spines, though.
Or a sea otter!
Hello..those little crystals could very easily be in a small resin cube...bet they would sell well..resin, the art kind is very reasonable these days....I have a super cheap resource if your interested! Blessings
That's a lovely though. I actually have some resin - I'll give it a try next time!
I put my GoPro underwater once, and the mic hasn't worked consistently since.
Thirst Fast lol, the sound is definitely affected. You can hear me cutting out afterward.
Hey Katy, the coral and vinegar, a couple of my grand kids will love that as an experiment. We have plenty of old broken coral here in Morton Bay southern Queensland. They will love the end result don't know if their patience will hold out though. How long did it take for the vinegar in the container to evaporate?
Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
Maybe a week? I must say I just kinda left it alone, so I'm not really sure. Probably the best bet is to set it up in a top shelf of a closet for a couple weeks, then check it.
Thanks Katy, I thought it would be awhile, I can't imagine that my 7,9&10 year old grandsons would be patient enough to leave them alone for more than 24hrs. Definitely need the experiment out of the way for a week or two so the crystals form.
Agates as big as your head....
Almost! :D
