    Paleo Chris your greatest treasure is Bri. I've always enjoyed watching your channel, especially when fossils are involved, but man oh man! Bri finds the coolest stuff! She's a keeper, just saying. I hope both of you have an amazing week!

      Agreed. Finding someone as enthusiastic about your passion as you is just what everyone needs.

    Finally! someone that lets us see the whole thing in one video. I am so tired of videos that only show the hunt but never what the rocks look like! Three cheers! MORE PLEASE!

    Bree's interest in Entomology and her care for them makes me happy. She seems like the exact type of person I want to be friends with

    you guys rule!! I always love how excited you guys get when you find an Indian artifact. it's an awesome feeling for sure, especially knowing no one's touched this in 6 or 7 thousand years.
    if you want to sell any of those Meg teeth, I sure would love to buy a juvenile heart shaped one for a center piece for my arrowheads.
    you guys really know your stuff, well educated in what you find, even the arrow heads you get right..
    thank you guys for your continued great videos!!

    You found some really beautiful agates but the fauna was just as exciting. The sleeping fawn was especially amazing! Thanks for another great video Chris.

    Chris - It would be beautiful to incorporate those slabs into a building project of some sort like a floor or a wall. It would also be cool to frame those in resin and use them as wall art.

  • @AngieDoesStuff
    @AngieDoesStuff 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Those are really unusual and unique. This is a huge motivator for me to get to cuttin' the wood and agates I have. So glad y'all had fun and found so many rocks. The color variety is really cool!

  • @lavenderrainbow5041
    @lavenderrainbow5041 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    12:13 - me WANT this! Even though it is on the large side, I would still wire wrap it & wear it as a pendant, very proudly too! What a wonderful surprise!!! I also love that you are showing them cut after you find them.

    Beautiful agate action going on right there! Love the wildlife--well, except the millipede, you can keep him, LOL. Makes me cringe, all those crawlie little legs. And check out that fawn, with his nose tucked in, laying very still, hoping you won't notice him. Adorable! Anyway, wonderful agates! And yes, agate hunting videos!

  • @jjbentley9
    @jjbentley9 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's actually a jasper just because it has banding doesn't mean it's an agate. The white banding could be number of thing's from dolomite calcite or just quartz. The other parts being colored by trace minerals like irons etc. Jasper come is all sorts of cool color it's just as pretty as agate. Jasper which is colored chert or flint. Is normally not see through. As agate even before cutting are.they have tons of layers of silica.

  • @rrhodes4433
    @rrhodes4433 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'd loooove to buy a slice of that last one you cut if you would sell? And also, Bri always finds the best stuff! If y'all ever come to Missouri rock/crystal hounding, let me know! We got a couple cool places like Haunted Ridge. Also, you can find all kinds of cool stuff through the creeks here.

    The salamander you all found is a black-bellied salamander (Desmognathus quadramaculatus).
    And the butterfly is definitely a red-spotted purple.

    Amazing. Yes do more like this. you should cut from the other side of the saw. you can lean into it much easier. I did tile work for many years. Even slow steady makes better cuts.

      @coryowen4922 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was looking for someone to make this comment. Watching him cut backwards made me crazy nervous. I’m wondering how he can see where he’s cutting. I’m guessing he’s left handed and it’s probably more comfortable for him 🤔
