Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: What a trip!!!! That is amazing agatized wood, fossils, and agates. Beautiful scenery! You need a pack Llama for that haul! Thanks for taking this old fossil along!
Awesome finds!! that's very appreciate your videos more than you will ever know. I love the rocks and minerals ! Thank for sharing video. Have a nice day friend!
Hi Kate, just FYI in case someone didn't already chime in. The gray flat bubbly rock that you picked up is a pyrite/marcasite pseudomorph. I have a whole collection from that creek.
I liked all the finds but I am most fond of the very unusual petrified wood shape at the 9 min time . How such an unusual shape piece was able to survive intact. Watching this video makes me look forward to the start of the Rockhounding season Thanks!
Be careful around the Yellowstone for the next little while, KatyDid! A bridge collapsed, dropping some train cars into the river and contaminating the water with hazardous materials. If you want to hunt the Yellowstone for now, best to do it upriver from the crash site between Reed Point and Columbus, in an area about an hour west of Billings.
Thanks - but the material that was spilled solidifies quickly in cool temps, and it's about 200 miles away - so even though the river flows this way, the material that leaked from the cars is likely not to make it very far. Thanks again for the concern!
Thank you for the fear post but further research shows there nothing to be worry about continue spreading fear , paranoia strikes deep into your life it will creep there a man over there , stop look what that sound
As always, awesome finds, but especially that chunky chunk of pet wood near the end of your trip. Hope you and your family are doing well out there in the heat. Love watching your videos always !!! Take care and keep on hounding !
Absolutely gorgeous finds! Even your left behinds were beautiful lol Always enjoy your adventures, your enthusiasm, and your knowledge that you bring. Definitely can't wait for my trip there in September! Thanks for sharing!
I would love to see more of this. Many molds per video. Mabee every other painting the things you unmolds in last video and so on. Looooove the butterflyes
Really nice finds Katy! I remember when hounding creeks, I would roughly categorize what I found as, agate, jasper, petrified wood, or not quite done cooking. Pet wood is always so amazing to me because it preserves the imprint of what was once a living thing!
* It's a Log.. WOW a real Keeper.. Nice Agate finds.. Maybe you can get a pack animal?? A pony to carry your finds?? LOL ~ maybe a scoop or grabber? Really lovely pieces..
Love, love, love that agate you found early on...the one with the concentric circle patterns. It reminds me of eye agates in my stomping grounds on the eastern shore of lake superior. Really cool!
Wow a treat of fossils and agates such a lovely way to end my weekend in the company of Kate my guide and companion on a wonderful hunt I might of said before I love all fossilised woods 😊🥰🤗
Beautiful agates, but it wad your day for petrified wood. That last piece was gigantic. Keep having fun and don't fall over because of your full bag. 😊
Wow! Those are just amazing. The leaves are stunning. And that petrified log - I’d love to see how the cats react I’d they try to use it as a scratching post. ❤ 😂
Kia Ora Katy. From NZ Gosh what a amazing day you had there. Really enjoyed watching the movie. Uyou have found some incredible woods & other stones. They must be even more nice when you slice & polish them up. Tatou ( thanks) i really enjoyed it :) Nga mihi ( kind regards) Chris
I've always wanted to collect a bunch of pieces of agatetized wood. Slab them the same width and tile my floor with them. I just don't know how well they'll hold up so I'm thinking about doing my doorwall step/ threshold.
I bet the sweet clover smells good. Sometimes it is fun to deviate from the norm, looks like that area is not heavily hunted. Have an awesome day and happy hounding.
@@KatyDidRocks I learned along time ago about my backpack, I always buy them with a waist support it makes it much more comfortable. I live at 7700 feet, and I am always digging and moving around at elevation. I have to keep hydrated or I suffer muscle fatigue, the air is thin here. Have a great night.
You weren't kidding about INCREDIBLE pet wood. That was amazing as were all the others you found AND tossed. Thanks for bringing us along. Question for you, is there such a thing as agatized burl and have you ever found any? Talk about eyes! Thanks again
Nice piece of pet! I've found some huge chonks that size in central and North Texas but nothing that pretty. The stuff I find out there tends to break apart. The more silicified pet I find South. I'd love to get out to your neck of the woods some day!
You really killed it on the wood Kate!! It was everywhere up there! That spot seems better than some of the lower river spots dont you think? The coal seam was awesome. Its just carbonized wood, very similar to petrified wood. I wonder if thats why theres so much pet wood in the area? Maybe it formed kind of like the coal seam?
Great finds Kate! I've been so busy I'm behind watching all my favorite rock TH-cam channels. Have you guys been getting alot of rain too? Raining here every day. Usually it's starting to turn brown here by now. Many mountain roads closed up here in the Big Horns above Buffalo. Good though for keeping fires away. Rains. Have a great day Kate!😊
Hello, and welcome back. :) Yes, it has been raining like crazy. We got more than two inches in a day last weekend, which you know is a lot for this area.
Hi Katy! Ive only watched this video of yours so far and absolutely love it! I have subscribed and will have a look at more of your videos. I live in South Africa and me and my daughter looooove rockhunting. Keep it up! ❤❤❤❤
Great finds. That pet wood is wonderful. We use your book every time e we head east on the Yellowstone (maybe 2x a year, mostly we're in cen- tral). Would love to have your eyes to find what you do!
Oh my gosh, Kate. My back is having sympathy pains just watching this. Lol. One thing you can say about rockhounders....we are a tough breed of human. I don't blame you for hauling that log out. Probably at least 30 to 40 pounds as well as at least another 60 pounds on your back. Been there, done that, and loved every minute of it. Such a lovely log.
I absolutely Love this video 🤗💚
Thanks so much!
I love rocks, but those leaf fossils are worth the whole trip!
Weren't they cool?

Thanks for joining me! :D
What a haul! Wow! I can't blame you for not being able to quit hunting when you always seem to be one step away from another treasure. Fun times.
It's true! I could have gone on and on - but my back had other ideas. :D
Great rocks and Glad to see you out and about , Yes , Keep on doing !!!!! Love it . 🥰
Thank you! It was fantastic to get out there.
@@KatyDidRocks So glad your able to get out and go , Hope you can for many more years to come !!!!!
Beautiful rocks! What a great way to get out and enjoy nature.
It really is!
The big petrified log was a great find. Unusual to find the big peices
It really was exciting!
😊wow Kate, that is the biggest petrified log/ wood I have ever seen anyone find.
It is pretty awesome!
I love all your videos
Thank you!
awesome!
Thanks!
❤😊❤ thanks 😊
You're welcome 😊
Wow! What an amazing day! So many gorgeous pet woods and agates! That log was just awesome! Everything was spectacular! Thanks Kate!
Thank you, Lisa - it really was SO GREAT to get outside and hunt. Now if the river would just drop!
❤ 11:20 petrified wood is just GORGEOUS.
Like you always say 'so many beautiful rocks '...I can't argue with you there, my goodness you did find some beauties 👍💕💕💕💕
It was a wonderful day!
I would have to have a dump trunk for all the great rocks you found!
:) Rock management is definitely a challenge.
That yellow flower by the riverside we call wartmilk. You always find so many rocks and especially petrified wood. Was a lot to look at
There was so much to see! Thanks for coming along.
Can not wait for the cutting video on the log
I still need to decide whether I'm going to cut it or not. It's nice as a specimen. Thanks for watching!
Yeah I found a blue apatite. When I was digging in my back yard
That sounds amazing!
Nice agate!
Thanks!
11:00 I thought that was a "petrified cow pattie"! 🤣 What do you do with all those agates and pet wood? Great hunt! ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️
LOL, CC; that's funny! I have saws and lapidary equipment, so I cut and polish - and I do sell some on my Etsy store as well.
@KatyDidRocks Glad I made ya laugh! Yes, I've seen your beautiful, huge saw videos! I didn't know you have an Esty store! 👀 ‼️. 😃
Awesome finds!! that's very appreciate your videos more than you will ever know.
I love the rocks and minerals ! Thank for sharing video. Have a nice day friend!
Thank you!
I'm absolutely fascinated by the petrified wood. 👀
Me too!
Hi Kate, just FYI in case someone didn't already chime in. The gray flat bubbly rock that you picked up is a pyrite/marcasite pseudomorph. I have a whole collection from that creek.
I really love that you show the cleaned up piece right after you show when you found it. That's really nice. Great channel!! Thanks!
Thank you! 😊
Love the hunt!!!!! Thanks!!!!
Thanks, Ayda!
What a wonderful day of beautiful rocks. Your dog looked so beautiful in the yellow flowers. Thanks ❤❤❤
Sorry I missed the premier. It was wonderful.
Thank you! :)

Beautiful hunk of petrified wood!

@@dogtownoon9791I think he was just being considerate and giving a spa which she addressed, no need to be rude
@@jmicaha2655the original commenter could have done 12 seconds of research which would have told them there was no need to comment.
Excellent finds and that petwood is incredible!
Thanks, Michael - it was a great surprise!
Had a lot of fun watching this video. The "log" that you carried back was amazing. Lots of good finds.
Glad you enjoyed it! :D
You got a nice River to get all those cool rocks I wish you the best
As always, awesome finds, but especially that chunky chunk of pet wood near the end of your trip. Hope you and your family are doing well out there in the heat. Love watching your videos always !!! Take care and keep on hounding !
We're doing great - thanks, Nancy!
That petrified log is amazing! And, you can never pick up too much pet wood!
So true, Karen! :)
Oh wow! What beautiful rocks!!!
So many beautiful rocks. :)
Oh My Gosh, Kate!! I can’t believe you left that orbicular jasp-agate thing at 10:50! That was so cool! Love the giant log, too ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous finds! Even your left behinds were beautiful lol Always enjoy your adventures, your enthusiasm, and your knowledge that you bring. Definitely can't wait for my trip there in September! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks much! I imagine the river will finally be down by then. :D
Saudações amiga já ganhou mais um amigo prá admirar o seu trabalho like
Obrigado e bem-vindo! :)
Crazy patterned agates and that agatized log, wooh!
Weren't they amazing?
This is great. You definitely captured that discovery feeling. It's great. I needed a nice calm interesting video and I found the right one.
Wow awesome petrified wood! You all always find cool stuff in Montana!
Thanks. :)
Nice petrified log! I picked up an 11lb piece today walking my dog along the Illinois River in SW Oregon near the last s stretch of the walk.
Wow nice finds..i like petwood very much
Unbelievably awesome petrified wood, fossils and agates. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Love Rock hounding rhe Yellowstone.Great video
Thanks!
Leaf fossil is really nice! Wow! The log is amazing!
Yep, super cool.
I would love to see more of this. Many molds per video. Mabee every other painting the things you unmolds in last video and so on.
Looooove the butterflyes

Ha, your categories are funny! I love petrified wood for the same reason.
Awesome. What a find. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thanks!
Wow! Such beautiful petrified wood! I loved the agates too! Wonderful finds!
It was a great hunt.
* It's a Log.. WOW a real Keeper.. Nice Agate finds.. Maybe you can get a pack animal?? A pony to carry your finds?? LOL ~ maybe a scoop or grabber? Really lovely pieces..
😮 What a fantastic rock hunt. Congratulations on that huge petrified stump. ❤❤❤ Great finds, thank you for sharing. 😊
Thanks for watching! It was a great day.
Such a beautiful hunt. Beautiful colors! The log is the best. It would be a display piece for me.
I was so surprised!
You are so blessed to live in God's country. I never seen coal laying on the ground like that.
It's spelled coal 😉
It really is interesting, isn't it!?
Love, love, love that agate you found early on...the one with the concentric circle patterns. It reminds me of eye agates in my stomping grounds on the eastern shore of lake superior. Really cool!
Eye agates are awesome.
I like ❤ when you cut them open❤ Andy 🎉
Andy, I love to so that too - but with this one, I had so many finds, I decided it would just take too long,. :)
6:12 so cool! Good eye! 🎉
Right! :)
Wow a treat of fossils and agates such a lovely way to end my weekend in the company of Kate my guide and companion on a wonderful hunt I might of said before I love all fossilised woods
😊🥰🤗
Me too! Thanks, Fiona. :)
Nice finds. I love agatized wood. Some of my best pieces are made from it.
I love it too! Well, obviously. :D
Awesome finds💕.i love to see that petrofied/agatised wood.
Thank you! 😊
Lots of beautiful finds ❤
Thank you! 🤗
11:16 what an absolute beauty ❤
I too tend to find 'organic', or former living material, a little too often.
Ha, never too often!
Beautiful finds! Thanks for sharing them with us
Thanks for watching! :)
Very nice finds! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching! :)
Very nice finds! Love the petrified wood!👍

:D Wasn't it great?
That pet log was just astonishing ❤❤❤ I love the pet wood! The agates were great, too! Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks so much! 😊
Hello Katy, trying to catch up on videos, nice to see you finding some great pieces. Keep Safe.
Thank you! 🤗
Beautiful agates, but it wad your day for petrified wood. That last piece was gigantic. Keep having fun and don't fall over because of your full bag. 😊
It really was, wasn't it? You should have seen me try to put the backpack back on after I took it off to dig up that log. :D
Wow! Those are just amazing. The leaves are stunning. And that petrified log - I’d love to see how the cats react I’d they try to use it as a scratching post. ❤ 😂
Ha, wouldn't that be fun to watch? :D
Those are some amazing finds a lot of beautiful pet wood 🤩
Thank you 🤗
Another great adventure with Katy. 🎉
Thank you! 😃
Kia Ora Katy.

It was a beautiful day - but I was very huffy and puffy when I got back!

I think there most likely is, but I don't think I've found any that are TOTALLY agatized. :)
That "log" of petrified wood is gorgeous!!
Thank you!
Lots of fossils!! ❤
I loved that leaf fossil!
Me too!
What an amazing trip! Thank you for inspiring us all!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fabulous!!!
:)
Nice piece of pet! I've found some huge chonks that size in central and North Texas but nothing that pretty. The stuff I find out there tends to break apart. The more silicified pet I find South. I'd love to get out to your neck of the woods some day!

Its just carbonized wood, very similar to petrified wood. I wonder if thats why theres so much pet wood in the area? Maybe it formed kind of like the coal seam?
That area seems super rich in petrified wood - I found a 28-pound chunk not far from there. I don't know why, but I sure would like to!
@@KatyDidRocks that's really neat. It just seems like there's a lot of wood in the area compared to a lot of your other spots. 👋

What a great spot!
It really was - great to be able to get out.
That was a huge chunk of petrified wood at the end ,I'm so jealous
All those fossils look amazing!! pretty sure those leaf fossils were probably buried by hydrothermal fluid, by the looks, which turned into jasper
Sure could be. I wondered if it might be clinker, which is clay that is hardened by coal seam fires.
Hi Katy! Ive only watched this video of yours so far and absolutely love it! I have subscribed and will have a look at more of your videos. I live in South Africa and me and my daughter looooove rockhunting. Keep it up! ❤❤❤❤
