I do have a quick question, mostly because I have no idea what I’m looking for😅. Anyway, I was in that area yesterday, just a little bit east of your gps pin, and I’m not really sure how to spot the coprolites. Do they just look like the larger chunks of agate, and if so, how do you differentiate the two? Thanks again!
In my experience they seem to be larger and brown or gray with red/yellow webbing, almost like a broken piece of septarian nodule. They can be hard to spot for a bit until you get an eye for them!
WOW!!! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS!!! Being Disabled, has its drawbacks. Will I be able to Rock The Hound you do adventure into? Be nice if I could Rock The Hound and get some of them Beauties!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!
Thank you! It is mostly just walking around and exploring once you get into the area. Very little strenuous hiking involved. Fossil point has the most hiking, and some boulder climbing, but not too much. Thanks for watching!
Way cool pigeon blood material. That locations is about 4.5 hour drive for me. I will need to get down there soon before it gets too hot. I would love to tumble some of that yellow and red material. Thank you for posting this video.
That was a really nice and big piece of petrified wood and so colorful. I've hunted Utah many years and not found a big piece like yours. We like to find the yellow cat pseudomorphs. I see that people are selling the colorful agate as petrified wood on eBay. It's sad really that people are buying it not knowing what they are buying. And the seller listing it as wood is doing a disservice. Some are hard to tell if there is no wood character on the exterior.
Hi there! We are here in green river, it’s our last day visiting the area from Nebraska. I know chances are slim of us finding a cool piece of petrified wood like you found, but could you tell me where you found that? We’re out here hiking around the area, and that would be awesome if we found one too! Probably one in 1 million, but you never know! Let me know, thanks so much! We love your videos!
It was about a 3/4 mile or so east of the gps in the video description. I’m not certain exactly where, as I was really just wandering around and stumbled on it. Total dumb luck! I’ve been out there rockhounding a bunch of times over the years and have never found wood like that until now! It was awesome! Good luck! I hope you find some awesome treasures out there!
@@utah_rockhoundI totally missed your message that day we were there lol, but we’re going to hike there again next time, who knows what’s out there :). We ended up hiking to the west of the gps coordinates when we were there.
100% Floy Wash. For anyone saying pigeon blood / Floy Olive is not agate.. Mindat says it is, that’s good enough for me. The latter half of the video, I’m suspecting mid Brushy Basin formation in Agate Wash. possibly North of the Peace Heart “art installation”. Or North of Agate Switch.
La Sal Mountains - In glacial deposits and streams of Miners Basin, Wilson Mesa, Bald Mesa, and around North Mountain. geology.utah.gov/popular/rocks-minerals/utah-gold/ Wilson Mesa has gold, but you need to bring water, a dry washer or haul out the dirt to pan.
Mouth of the Dolores where it meets the Colorado. Probably best accessed from Glade Park Colorado. One Caveat.. the entire area is an active Placer Claim. And likely all the good spots between there and Telluride are probably active claims too.
That chunk of wood is a killer find! I’m not jealous or anything 😅
Thanks! I was blown away when it popped out of the ground!

@@utah_rockhound ok cool! Thanks for the info!
That piece of petrified wood is phenomenal! I can only imagine what a rush that was to find that!
It was awesome!!
OMG! That Pet wood!!!! ❤

I know that it’s hard to believe a rough raw rock cab be turned into a beautiful cabochon.

That find was a first for me in that area. I have found small pieces, but nothing of the size and color...pure luck!

I see arrowheads also😊
Was that pigeon's blood agate? Wow!❤
Yep! It took several cuts to find a piece not too fractured to cab!
@@utah_rockhound I hope to get out there in June for a first time Utah collecting trip.🤗
@@TJTreasuresearthHave fun and good luck!
Ohh wow, I see why folks here in WA keep talking about the wonderful things you can find in Utah

For Agate I go by the old rockhound rule. If you found it, it's not an agate - if I found it it is.

If i wanted to pan for gold in green river, where would be a good place to start looking?
I’m not sure. I’ve never panned for gold before and I wouldn’t know what to look for.

More like a burble than geyser but it qualifies. lol
