- Join me for a hunt for some petrified wood at the beautiful Conway river which forms the border between Canterbury and Marlborough. I find some stunning pieces of petrified wood, including 3 quite large pieces!
Thanks Kowai for organising the outing!

You made a great haul bud! Love seeing the petrified wood you find! It's so cool looking, would love to find some myself, need to look into it and other peices found here!
Thanks Agate Dad! Was a great day out there 😄 I've seen some pretty crazy pieces come out of the states, sure you must have some nearby!
@@mamlamborocks I'm sure we do!
Great finds ConGratz :) hope you get more !*!*!
Thanks Larry! I'm planning on going back there soon as there is a fossil location nearby I also want to have a look at. Thanks for watching!
All my finds get a good wash and then a good long soak in mineral oil. This brings out lines and colors that aren't noticed when you first find them. Then I wipe them clean and keep them in their natural state as I do all my rock finds. What a huge colorful beauty (s) you found. Nice!
I've used mineral oil before, I've found it does add a nice shine. Mostly I just leave them as is unless I have them cut and polished 😊
Love petrified wood, especially the pieces that still have the bark on them. Those big pieces are awesome too. Great peaceful spot, just love it all 🤣 thanks again my friend
I wish I could find petrified wood and agates near where I live. I love watching your videos, both rockhounding and the fossil vids. You get just as excited as I do when I find something cool. You can really tell how much you love this stuff!
Saw what you sent to Agate Dad. That polished piece was amazing!! New subscriber here 😁
Thanks Leslye! Agate Dad is such a great guy, love his videos 😊
I love petrified wood it polishes up so beautifully.

Hi Jeff! Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed all that pet wood!😄
I am a new subscriber coming from Agate Dad's channel. I really enjoyed your searching for the petrified wood, trying to spot the pieces before you picked them up! The close-ups were excellent, including the magnification shots. Beautiful pieces of stone even though my favorite pieces were different from yours!!! LOL Thank you for the interesting video!
Thanks Frances! I have spotted an enormous piece of petrified wood that I need to go and recover. It's probably 300lbs though! And about 2 miles from where I can park my car 😊 Glad you enjoyed the video!
LOOOOOOVE petrified wood! Thanks for bringing us along. :)
My pleasure Katy! I love how petrified wood have the best of both worlds... a fossil but also a pretty rock for the rockhounds!
3:44 gorgeous shot. Came from the main channel, it just occurred to me to look to see if you didn't have a second one, you should advertise this on the main channel, this is equally interesting.
Cool wood!
420th subscriber...looking forward to more videos
I’m learning to recognize the petrified wood!

Welcome slayermike (best name ever!) 😊 I have a bit of crossover with my fossil channel. I find pet wood and agates on some of those videos as well 😊
@@mamlamborocks cool I have been a rock hunter for yrs just never knew anyone cared lol might start making a few videos this next summer
That pied stilt bird was annoyed, you may have been near its nest LOL.
I kept trying to move away but it followed me no matter which way I went!
Hey there! I've just recently heard about you while I was watching an Agate Dad video, so I popped over to take a look at what you're doing. I visited the La Jolla Tide Pools in San Diego California in 2018, and there were concretions embedded in the sandstone beaches and cliffs nearby, but I had no idea what they were. But after seeing some of your finds, I'm absolutely astonished with what you're revealing inside! Then I notice that you've got another something just for petrified wood and agates, and I see this?! Wow! Excellent!
@ 12:53 That looks like it was charred by fire before it was petrified! It's an absolutely beautiful specimen! Thanks for sharing your adventures and finds!
It does look like it was charred! I'm not sure if it is part of the petrification process or not. I wonder if those concretions in San Diego also had fossils in them? I know not all concretions have something in. Thanks for watching!! 😊
Hey mate. Watching from Houston Texas USA. How's the weather there? Great video! Nice wood. It is all over the place in Texas.
I would love come to New Zealand and rock hunt and fish! I live in Kentucky USA
I posted this on one of your channels with a higher fan base, but I found a approx 7" by 7" rock with some bones/shells. Would like to send you pics. Thanks - Angie
Hi do you find Chert or flint at all .
I think I have found some near Kaikoura
