  • A record size agate find for me on this rock hunt...weighing in at slightly over 9 pounds! Plus a 7 pound agate and a couple 4 pounders! Wow! I had to make it a short hunt because I couldn't lift my backpack with anything more in it!
    If you are looking to add to your collection, I will be putting these up on Ebay shortly...

    Kim, Since you insist on finding such big, heavy agates, you might want to talk to KatyDid. Her husband Jim has a cart that I saw in a video a while back that looked like it would go over rough terrain pretty well. I'd hate to see you hurt yourself carrying too much, or have to leave something cool behind because it's too heavy. So nice to see you out making videos again! Thanks for sharing your hunts with us.

    Omg I love your channel. I’m a 65 year old woman who lives way up in NY (about five miles from the Canadian border) and we don’t have agates. But your channel has inspired this old lady to get a rock tumbler and supplies and start to tumble my own. I’ve always loved and collected rocks and you encouraged me to try it. Thank you sooooo much ♥️ wonderful finds today. Congratulations 🎈
