- This location has been on my bucket list to collect at for some time now, and I'm happy that I finally got to make it out here for a little bit of collecting.

A big congrats on 500 videos! An amazing achievement!
I like to think that it is a respectable body of content at this point.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding absolutely!
The clean up really changed the whole terrain, that rock has a lot of character.
Superb! Lots of fun to watch. ...and yeh, I was eating lunch while watching this. 😂
You’re like a mad scientist minus the mad lol. Very educational!
Ill take the mad scientist label!
And those images are out of this world!
Thank you!
I haven't gone to Hansen Creek since I was like five or six, I'm seventeen now! I plan on going back there soon. I absolutely LOVE looking for rocks and crystals, even if they aren't that good! Always had a fascination for looking for buried treasures haha. Thank you for making videos on it! I enjoy watching and seeing good spots to go, and learning new information about it! Cheers x
Oh I love all the variety in that one little rock!
Ayyyyy my home turf spot. I've been to Hansen about 10 times and while it's never anything too special, I've still gotten some cool pieces and had fun times.
Have you been to this location?
I just can't get over the localities you get to out west. Incredible! I really want to get my kids out west. Love it!
We do have some very nice places to go out here.
What a beautiful view!
Those are spectacular crystals! I really like the flourite.🍻
I love the Hansen creek area / crystal hunting.
We used to go all the time now not so much.
Good video
Thank you for sharing 👍👍
If you get a chance go late summer to the Hansen creek area and check out the Snoqualmie river for cool finds.
I have found some nice chunks of river washed quartz and really cool stuff that I have no idea what it is still to this day. Lol
I'm sure you could figure it all out
👌👌
I love the way you show the scenery around you-truly breathtaking. Those finds are breathtaking as well
:)
Very cool idea! Thanks for the entire very interesting demonstration!
I'm glad you liked it.
Always a pleasure
I'm glad you liked it.
JARED THIS IS SO COOL!!!! Being bound to the home YOU GIVE ME SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE!!!!! NEVER EVER STOP!!!!!🪨👍👍❤️
Thank you! I don't plan on stopping anytime soon!
gorgeous!
Those are amazing ❤
Thank you!
Beautiful specimens. Be safe.
Thank you!
What a beautiful area and man, the crowds i would not miss at all! And where you guys were had so much smalls going on. Nice etch job! That totally took an average piece of granite and then turned it into something fantastic in the minarure world! My biggest problem with all that is trying to pronounce the names of these new minerals! Even reading it while yoi pronounced them i couldn't do it! They were fantastic though! Thanks Jared, for all you do!
Sometimes I have to look them up on mindat and hope for an audio file of someone pronouncing them which is a nice feature.
Cool.
Very interesting specimen. I think that red mineral at 7:11 could possibly be stilbite and the reddish specks could be hematite or possibly garnet?? Great find either way, always a very enjoyable watch when you upload a new video.
I do think you might be correct about hematite or garnet being possible candidates but its far too small for me to really know with my current setup.
Future goals perhaps… also when I said stilbite I mean the bladed/fanned looking mineral not the red specs oops.
Been going to Hansen Creek (the main dig site) for over 20 years. I have found many beautiful quartz crystals. But how much I’ve missed by not having a magnifying glass and really looking at the tiny specimens. Thanks for sharing! The road cut is on
the way to upper Hansen Creek. 👍
That is a long time visiting there, how have you seen in change over that time?
@@CurrentlyRockhoundingsadly, people have undermined many of the trees by digging under the roots. Lots of downed trees. In my opinion making the ground (which is very steep) unstable. I keep thinking that the whole hill is going to landslide sometime. Also, the amount of trash people leave behind is unacceptable! It was never like this back in the day. I bring a garbage bag and try to pick some of it up.This is why I don’t rockhound that location anymore. The changes have not been for the better. What happened to “ leave no trace”?
Next time your up there summit pass has a hotel/ restraunt at the top an you gotta check out their amazing specimens collected from that area it’s truly incredible to see it on display especially since I don’t know of many that go to the top of sumit pass to look for rocks but it seems to have some amazing minerals and also very cool views!
It’s just about 3 exits from hansen too, and is usually never super packed like hansen. I do like that area a lot tho it’s just full of goodies to be discovered, I’m looking to make a trip to the top before the snow comes in the next month!
Man I drove by this spot more than once I know where I'm going next time that's cool 😎
Let me know if you find anything really good!
Nice to see everything so green in late July! Everywhere I’ve lived in late July everything has turned brown. Great location and nice finds!
It is nice to have the seasons.
Well, that was a bit of magic. Now I’m going to be running around dissolving all the calcite crystals I can find. 😂
You never know what could be hiding.
Great specimen.
Thank you!
First! I can tell this is gonna be a good video already!
How was it for you?
@@CurrentlyRockhounding It was awesome! I love the micro shots at the end, I really think you should make a video just dedicated to some some of your micro shots!
Very nice micro minerals!
Thank you!
Awesome
I'm glad you liked it.
That's awesome, dissolved with vinegar. I would have thought muratic acid.
You do run the risk of etching some of these minerals a little bit with things like muratic acid. It would be a lot faster for sure but not really worth it in this situation.
wht microscope do you use
I use both a digital sometimes, but the photos were taken with an optical microscope and a Canon 70D.
You finally go to Hansen creek and you go to a road cut….c’mon. Would have been nice to see the quartz and chalcopyrite that it’s famous for and not the basic stuff you can find almost anywhere
I'm not sure if you intended this comment to sound rude but it does a little bit.
I make videos about topics that I find interesting and I find the process of etching out the calcite to reveal some obscure crystals to be interesting. As well your statement of "not the basic stuff you can find almost anywhere" is not accurate at all.
Lots of homeless there.
Yeah there was a lot of people just living in the woods from what it seems when we were driving in.
