  • In this one, we head out to a site I have not visited yet this year to do some rockhounding! It was a gorgeous late fall afternoon so we decided to take advantage of the amazing weather and head out to do some rock hounding. We hit the jackpot! Amazing find after amazing find! I still cannot believe how many quality agates we found, including a few of which that are unlike any other Montana agate I've seen before! That's not even mentioning the great jaspers and agatized wood we found as well! It was an amazing day for sure, and none too soon as the heavy snow showed up just a few days later. I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out very soon!

    Well worth getting your toes frozen. The agate and jasper you found are insane. Love seing the doggies. Hope you get better soon, those cold are nasty this year.

    Idea for inside cutting. Take plastic drop cloths and hang them to make a contained area for sawing. You could even use glue on velcro to seal and entry point!

  • @patriciamckean4186

    Nice agates, can't wait for cutting. Feel better soon. Chicken soup 🍲

    Overcast Hounding seems to be favorable. I loved the video, such beautiful finds. Your monster agate of the day looks like a giant molar. Happy Holidays!

    Impressive finds with that kind of light.

    Can't pick a fave, too many outstanding pieces. You have just the bestest pups, I always look forward to their antics! I hope that you are feeling better Theo!

  • @keithwood6459
    @keithwood6459 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Maybe it is the lighting that is making certain agates show up better, and that's why your day was so good. Counterintuitive, but worth considering.

  • @Justfollowthecrumbs

    Get better soon Theo. That green Jasper was something else, just wow and that mega agate stunning. Stay safe at home until you are really on the mend.

  • @bebofrazier5690
    @bebofrazier5690 ปีที่แล้ว

    😊 ok I see you are still Theo on here! While watching the pod cast & loved hearing from Jesse I also heard them call you Ronald or Donald…? I must be missing something 😂 love your videos!

  • @dustinfindsrocks
    @dustinfindsrocks ปีที่แล้ว

    This reminds me of my hunt yesterday. We went to one of the only reliable gravel bars on the Mississippi River. Ok definitely not the Yellowstone 😂 but I did find some cool agates! One was so dark I thought it was chert at first until I picked it up and saw light shining through! Anyway… did my best! I was definitely thinking about you yesterday! The Mississippi isn’t the Yellowstone but it’s a similar experience I think there’s stuff from who knows where?! Probably found some stuff from South Dakota originally 🤷🏻‍♂️ the petrified wood definitely isn’t local! Crazy to find rocks that have traveled hundreds of miles!

    @donnalantz7981 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Awesome finds. Sorry you were sick. Hope it didn't last long. Love seeing the gang out playing too. I don't think I have just 1 favorite. I wouldn't cut that big piece of pet wood. Man that was gorgeous.

    Score!! Must have had a huge load on your back ..
    I know I have had to hide a pile of rock because I couldn't carry it all out, to come back for it later...

    Theo, how do you carry so much weight around as you are hunting? Do you have more than one backpack? Do you use a large bucket that you deposit into? Or do you have other bags that you fill, take back to a certain point then go back out with another? Asking because you find some honkin' huge specimens, like that petrified wood piece. You are so lucky to have this area you can hunt around. Down by me in SoCal, the areas are far and few between. But there's a good area called Action, just north of the mountain range that's north of Los Angeles that has given me some great pieces. If you are ever in SoCal, I'd like to go hunting with you.

    It's hard to pick a favorite this time. There are so many

  • @douglasberwick1699
    @douglasberwick1699 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love your channel, but I have a question. You are on a river, so is there a reason why you can't fill the spray bottle from it?

  • @AvalonDreamz
    @AvalonDreamz ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The one you found at 9:37 looked very interesting. That was my favorite one from this find. There were SO MANY!! I would absolutely love to visit a place like that to look because where I live in Indiana there is nothing but corn fields, soy bean fields and flat land. Just a whole lot of nothing and not really anywhere to look for rocks like that at all.

  • @AvalonDreamz
    @AvalonDreamz ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh yeah, that green and yellow jasper was absolutely gorgeous!

    @nancyhainline2517 ปีที่แล้ว

    Was in Montana in Oct. Is there productive agate hunting in the Helena to 3 Rivers area? I usually only have 2 to 3 days to spend (passing thru) and don't know the areas to go. Usually make a pasear to the sapphire mines and take buckets home to work later. I-90 parallels the Yellowstone River, but don't know where to access it (seems to all be private land). Any info appreciated.

    Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: The Yellowstone River basin provides such wonderful rockhounding opportunities. I would get spoiled to finding that caliber of specimens of all types...huge colorful jaspers...enchanting large agates...sizable petrified and agatized wood...and on and on! I'm getting spoiled just watching. Thank you for sharing your journeys with us!

    Your water looks a lot like my favorite stretch of the Snake -- we also see a lot of eagles while wading the islands which pop up after run off etc. I'm loving watching your videos waiting for Spring this year:-)
    I'm hoping to hear which type of sprayer you are using, if you don't mind sharing

    Wow Theo, quite the haul! and such a beautiful sunset to end the hunt day. I love the music you always add in when showing the rocks, I could listen to that for hours. Can you point me to the source?
