Let’s just say the mineral we found while rockhounding this new spot is 10lbs! Thanks for tagging along on this rockhounding adventure, being that we found Lake Superior agates, Jasper, galaxy stone, and other amazing rocks, I am pretty sure we will be heading back to this spot!

I first collected rocks while in mid to later grade school. Thought I was pretty cool. Knew the names like ignatious rock, sedimentary rock, and Wham, my rock hounding days were behind me as I grew up. So here it sit about 60 years later from the comfort of my chair watching videos of folks who unknowingly teaching me things about rocks now that I never knew existed. You do the finding, all the lifting and toting, having a good time with me sitting at home having just as good a time. For that, I thank you. 😊
This made me smile 😊 happy you join on our adventures!
I know what you mean, I sit here at home, wishing I still had my pile of rocks from when I was like 5-15 years old. When my Family were fishing & I would look for rocks I loved! Now I collect rocks again! I have a saw & lapadary machine like he has & I make Cabochons, palm stones & slices! So satisfying!!!! ❤
I like your comment and I collected rocks for a long time. I discovered that most of them have been carved! I looked back at my a collection and I could see usually faces in 90% of them! Usually more than one. So just us here I started looking at the Bluffs along the river and I keep finding the same face carved into the bluffs everywhere along the Mississippi. I keep finding them and it still blows my mind! If I ever get it together I'll do a channel. I'm also an old guy but not too old...lol
I second this
:)
I'm not even that into rocks, but anyone with as much enthusiasm for their passion is inspiring.
🙌❤️
Definitely agree!
I love watching your videos. They make me realize I’m not the only one who genuinely enjoys a day spent rock hunting.
I was drawn to rocks since I could walk. I’m 51 and just realizing what I possibly have. Didn’t even have a clue they could be anything but just rocks that I liked. Thought I was weird, Now realizing I’m not weird just connected to Gods fantastic beautiful earth. Love the videos.
OMG, that 10 lb jasper is gorgeous! Great find!!
Right! Thanks 😊
I'm happy to see someone who gets excited over Stones and
Rocks like me! I have been drawn to them since l was a
kid!
Best wishes! More good luck to you! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Your enthusiasm shows your passion, and thanks to your channel, has rekindled a hobby that I haven't explored in 50 years! My first trip to the north shore didn't produce much but I'll be back in 2022! And have found some pretty cool pieces close to home. Keep posting your subscribers love it. 😊
Bear scat, wolf prints…a typical day rock hounding in the summer around the Lake Superior region! Wonderful finds Taylor. Woo hoo galaxy stone..I’m so fascinated by them!
Thanks for taking us along on this adventure!
Absolutely!! I’ll be cutting some soon 🤘🤘
That was a great location for rock hunting! Love that gorgeous banded agate!
Some awesome finds! Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for joining!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Superb jasper! Beautiful environment! You always have such a lovely energy about you!
Thanks so much!
I like my Jasper GEMMY 😉 I have a very large honey yellow piece that was rolled by the river that has so much character. It is rounded and has smoky quartz and druzy.
OMG! Can you schedule a "Hunting Agates with Agate Dad" tour? I'd sign up in a heartbeat!
Haha if you’re ever in the area hit me up, I’ll see if I’m planning to go out
@@AgateDad is that open to anyone lol
Of course!
I want to go too!
@@AgateDad i would go too! Any chance of a great jasper in that red color? OMG! 😲
Most people just step over rocks, never once thinking about where rocks begin, how they form, the endless seasons and eons of time they endure.
They are not just from history, they ARE history.
My wife loves rocks and crystals and your videos have inspired me to plan a rock hounding trip in the spring. We live in eastern Massachusetts, I'm not sure what we can find but we sure will look.
Beautiful red jaspers. Great finds for you.
Wow, just Wow. That is a beautiful Jasper rock ! Congratulations !
🙏❤️
My dad found a jasper rock about twice the size at a fire ring at a lake where people camp. We split it open and it's filled with gold colored pyrite cubes. Absolutly beautiful and I'm having a hard time finding much information on this. My dad gave it to me and it's currently in my rock garden in front of my deck.
Take a short vid an post it for us ... I left ones this size an bigger also at the creek due to its weight I may try breaking one now
Love me some jaspers, they never disappoint. It looks like you found a nice place to hunt. Just remember your not the apex predator in the woods, without a gun. Keep finding those beauties. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
I know, all these comments caused me to buy some bear spray. I don’t have my permit to carry or anything so I don’t feel comfortable bringing my sidearm out.
Went back to my favorite hunting spot near the Colorado, along lower Country Club Creek. Went back to retrieve a piece of jasper. Yup! Found it!
Nice!
Love that deep red jasper. Really nice finds.
Gorgeous jasper! Love your podcast!
That was a good come back,, thanks for being human and leaving in the flubs🤣🤣🤘
I get as excited as you do finding amazing gems/rocks! So glad I came across your video, hope you make more!
Every Monday and Friday ☺️
Code red day as in Jasper, my second favorite rock. Happy hounding.
Some nice finds today thankyou for the tag along.
You bet
Sweet!!!👍
🙌
Awesome spot! I saw a bunch of great stuff unpicked! 🙈 I hope you go back and make another video 🥰. And another one with you rock flipping in the creek 😁. Thanks for the video. It was watched with my morning coffee. Great way to start the day!
Can’t take it all home haha wife would kill me (jk)
I love when you add some bloopers in!! 😄😄
Hi Taylor, another great looking creek, some really nice pieces and that chunk of Jasper, WOW, what a ripper. The colours look great and patterns look outstanding, what an amazing piece. Can’t wait to see it cleaned up and a slab if you decide to cut it. What a hunting trip, though you can have the bears & wolves, I’ll stick with our spiders & snakes some of which are the deadliest around, but they won’t decide to make a meal of you, 🤣🤣.
Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
Yeah gotta avoid them big predators 🐺 🐻
I found a huge one like that, was too big to walk three miles with so I’m going back this spring for it :)
@9:13 that looks like a heart, dude
@9:47 that is a rainbow jasper! 👍👍👍 Very lovely! 🤩
Been a rockhound since i was 7 yrs. Old i.m 63 now and can t go any more this brings back memories
That jasper blew my mind! What...a...find! The jasper you find is so different than what I find... it just amazes me... it's so cool to see. I LOVE the red/black combo. That jasper is going to look sick all polished up!
I wanted to mention that I have bears where I'm at and they really want nothing to do with you really... So I always make loud noises to let them know I'm there and they'll leave the area. But then I have to worry about the big cats...they are way more curious...and stealthy😳 going with someone is a lot more safer. Stay safe out there Taylor!
I really should carry bear spray or some other means of protection! But me too, soooo beautiful!
Get 1 pcs jasper stone almost 25 kg..
Amazing video!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you..this is remarkable...😀😀
Pretty scenery! Thanks for sharing!
🙏❤️
Thanks for this fun northern Minnesota adventure,Taylor!
Thanks for joining!
Thank for show this beautiful Rocks 😊🙌
My pleasure 😊
Such a beautiful area 😍 and beautiful finds!
🙏❤️
There's a place called Kenny dam in BC, Canada with TONS jasper 😁
Awesome!
Amazing Thank you God bless you
Wow!
Love the rocks. Very beautiful. Love this video. From Jordan
Wolves and bears, oh wow. And lots of very unusual rock! Take care.
Always!
Awesome finds beautiful area , thank you for sharing 😊💙
🙏❤️
Another great rock hunting adventure....I went to my favorite creek for the 1st time this summer & guess what....nothing.....it has either been picked to death or the spring thaw that causes the minor rise of water in it, buried all the best stuff . I am going to Michigan at the end of the month & hope to go to Superior for a quick afternoon hunt. Maybe my spot here will be better next spring....I hope so because there isn't many places here in S.E. Iowa to pick. Have a great August. I will catch up on your videos when I get home.
Yeah interesting! Crazy how it goes sometimes!
Wow! Beautiful finds😍
Thanks!
Great finds!!! Thanks!!!
Awesomeness love that jasper.
🙏❤️
That first rock “what are you? I’m so confused…” flint/slag
Very nice .
Biggs Picture Jasper is an incredible stone to cut for those pictures that are breath taking!
You didn't find as many agates as you hoped, but you sure can't be disappointed with all that beautiful jasper. Wow! I'd love to find a piece like that big one. Anyway, please be careful when you're out there alone. Your family and your fans need and love you!
Oh thanks! And of course I’m not disappointed, it’s how it goes and happens more frequently than you all see 👍
What is so special with jasper? I really dont know 🙈
I love watching this video thank for sharing
Sure would like to see that Jasper cut!
Glad you didn’t meet up with any wolves or bears! Thanks for another great video! I love the out takes too!
Haha there’s always outtakes
I have favorites this time. Not only that huge jasper, green spotted & galaxy stone. 😃
Right!! Probably going to cut that one!
@@AgateDad can’t wait til the cutting! 😁
Nice 5 colors with pattern view mountains more valuable
That's awesome .
Yes it was!
When I was a child I would find rocks my grandfather plowed up. Later on I would, with safety glasses on, sit and break them open. As an adult, I love looking through landscaping rocks or rocks at Lake Michigan.
Wundervolle Natur . Mineralien sind auch meine große Liebe . Es ist toll dir bei deiner Suche beizuwohnen . Danke das du uns alle mit nimmst . Ich wünsche dir noch weiterhin viel Erfolg und Freude in der Natur . Hab keine furscht vor den Tieren des Waldes . Hab respeckt und zeige dich dem Wald. Nimm seine Energie auf und warte bis du dich angenommen fühlst . Denn angst vor wilden Tieren in ihrem zuhause ist die gleiche angst eines Diebes welcher sich heimlich in einem Haus aufhält . Wie gesagt. Respeckt und Bescheidenheit sind gute Ratgeber. Wenn du dich erst mit der Natur mit dem Ort und mit den Kräften verbunden fühlst und angenommen wurdest wirst du noch sehr vieles an wunderbaren entdecken . Auf die herkömmliche Art kommst du nur soweit wie das Vermögen deines Verstandes es zulässt . Viel Erfolg
Gracias por compartir, saludos desde Venezuela
Nice finds! I imagine you'll be returning to this spot! The rock at 3:00 looks like Amygdaloidal basalt. My partner and I found a lot of similar pieces while we were in the Keweenaw Peninsula, so depending on where you were, the green bits could be oxidized copper, although that would mean the one you found was a pretty far ways away from home. Maybe the dips could have contained Michigan greenstone, because they break down so easily, but I suppose that would be a long shot and wishful thinking. There are a lot of similar looking rocks in the Keweenaw with quartz inclusions as well. Happy hunting!
Copper can be found in Minnesota too, I’m pretty sure it’s just a pocket of green nodules, I may be wrong tho!
@@AgateDad Well, if you ever figure it out, let us know. We spent Monday along the north shore, and found a beautiful specimen just like it.
I know what it is. :)
Ohhh that huge jasper is absolutely gorgeous...I'm so jealous. Just came across your channel this evening and am really enjoying it! I've always been drawn to rocks since childhood, I'm 71 now...what is it? ...and others have zero interest and chuckle because you do. How I wish I could live near Lake Superior and collect rocks there. I'll be watching more of your channel...found it fascinating.
Good score!
Awesome finds. Yeah, you definitely don’t want to have any run ins with wildlife. 😳
this channel deserves so many more subs
That's very kind of you, I'll always be grateful for any amount of support from our community here
Taylor,
That is a beautiful area!
Absolutely ♥️🙏
You should bring a pick and hammer with you ,there may be some surprises inside some of those rocks with agates stuck on them
That’s what the saw is for 🤟🤟
Really cool jaspers and agates!
It was a great hunt!
Love your videos! They are stress relievers!
I want to learn more!!
Thanks!
Fair warning if you think you are a rock hound you may find yourself obsessed. Also it's a great way to get your kids/nieces/nephews their friends whoever out of the house, off the games, and interested in natural wonders. I could always get my teenage daughter and my stepsons out to the river.
Hi again TAYLOR
Big and beautiful Jasper! Seemed there was alot there.
Why would that be?
Not much as far as agates but other interesting ones. Kind of a different location including many signs of critters there. Must be tucked away where they're not worried about seeing humans! Hadn't crossed my mind but be careful out there...
Thx as always for sharing. Catcha next time!
Where I live in southern Oregon theres jasper that's way cooler looking than the jasper in this vid! The jasper here varries beetween dark red and bright red way brighter than this vid and just an hour north you can find jasper agates which if you didn't know most agates in southern Oregon are clear forms of jasper and jade so we get orange/red agates and green agates here! The jasper here has white and black sometimes through out it also!
Also I don't have carnelians where I live but about 4 hours north theres carnelians!
I love for you to come out here to colorado. Ive found alot of amazing rocks from green, red and just plain jasper all the way down to beautiful moss agates and piccasso rocks
OH MY GOSH is right. Nice finds.
Thanks!
Cool finds! That jasper is huge!
🤘❤️
WOW beautiful so you find these in Creek beds
I would be out there looking for bigfoot and Rock specimens at the same time. What a joy nature is!
Hope to see these beauty cut soon!
Another jaspagate! (The little red one)
Good stone 👍
I totally just found one in my river from today in upstate NY!!!!
Wow! That jasper is massive!! Great find!
Thanks!
very beautiful the rocks there in this place
🤘🤘
Thanks for the video......
Thanks for watching 🥰
5th time was a charm haha. some nice finds Taylor, we have a fair bit of red jasper down at the beach, just not much ta get excited about. enjoyed the adventure/vid 👊🍻
🤘🤘 thanks man
Awesome finds!
🤟🤟
You would love my hood in Southern Oregon. Red and Green Jasper everywhere. Petrified wood, agates, geodes, fossils etc.
Sounds legit
Wow. Każdy ze znalezionych przez Ciebie kamieni jest bardzo ładny😊
Natomiast jaspis jest przepiękny. Gratuluję.
Way to go rescuing that little guy at 4:10 haha 😄 it was literally stuck between a rock and a hard place LOL🤓
Hahahah!!!!
Just happened to find this very interesting and informative video.
Id like to suggest that, since I believe you said you cut the stones.? Flintknappers would pay competive money for choice slices of 1/4 to 3/8 inch cut slabs about 2 or more inches wide w various lengths...they could then knap off the outside edges to create a type of "cheaters" blade... Saves them the trouble of finding the stone themselves and also the manual labor to reduce the rough stone to a workable blade...
You can find all sorts of lovely blood red Jasper in the Willamette River
Nice! I just found a big guy myself
Nice!
Sukses selalu.. lanjut 👍👍👍
Nice job on that 10 lb jasper picked some smaller stuff this year on the northshore ludsun
That’s great!
love! xo
When I was in 5th grade, I collected shark's teeth, a few rocks. I still have a few rocks, but gave all the teeth to my teacher. Good luck with your hunting.
That was nice of you!
Such a beautiful spot.
That Jasper is devine ❤️❤️❤️
I'd be so worried about the bears though, don't have to worry about the bears here in NZ.
Although I nearly walked into a seal on the beach 😂😂
thought it was a mossy rock, nope, just a seal haha
@@AgateDad 😂😂😂😂
Hope you kept that lake superior green stone . It’s Michigan’s gemstone of the state. They’re hard to find and that’s a whopper ! Polish it ! Could be worth a fortune 🤗
Say hello from indonesia...i also like hunting agate stone...nice activity...👍🙏
