Prospecting is pure bliss after learning geology!
This is another gem that I have been wanting to go rock hounding for.
You are adorable!! I'm so jealous... I will have to live vicariously through you but... one day I hope to go on my own adventure
I'm here in Arizona, 22 years now. My daughter (youngest child) who is almost 12 has so much interest in exploring and rockhounding Arizona. I love your videos Elley, you teach us so much and also how to be careful while out. Thank you for what you do🏜️❤️
Why don't you try placing the rocks you want to smack inside heavy duty canvas bag before you hit them and perhaps all the rock parts and your garnet would remain inside the bag. Good luck !
Wow Ellie great road trip! I planning on trying it myself. Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration.
Really dig all your videos!
Keep Doing What You’re Doing! I like to sample too
Lowe’s has white empty sandbags cheap super lite and you can write location & sample on it with a sharpie😎
Awesome being all alone, I also get scared sometimes😂Keep up the great videos. I realy learn alot!
Great video! Thank you for sharing - VERY informative 😁
I would love to see you use your Dremel tool & explain your attachments as you use them to clean your garnets! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 you’ll post a follow up of the Dremel tool.
Hi Ellie, suggest on popping those out, if you hold cotton string against the garnet and melt candlewax on it you can find it easier if it pops away from you. I always carry a candle in the wild cuz you just never know...
Great video. Thanks for the education. Keep hold of the rock... I love rock hounding and really enjoy the hiking that goes with it. Kinda limited from the snowy winters but it's always a great time.
Awesome finds, every trips a learning experience eh!
Thanks
This is a lot of fun to follow your adventures. I do use a Garmin when I go out. Good insurance. I paid 25.00 $ a month. Great video!
Your amazing but I was out of breath just carrying that sledgehammer...
So cool. The tuff you're working in looks like the stuff I see out here north of Safford AZ. Never payed any attention to what I might find in it. May have to take a adventure out this weekend and see what I can see. Thanks for the video 😀
you should go check it out. garnet are not in all tuffs. the minerology has to be just right
Beautiful!!👍
ARIZONA, what a glorious place!
Sometimes I throw a rag on top to keep stuff from flying. It helps a lot.
If Im there I will try doing that as well , you look awesome and witty while finding garnets .
stunning spot for a scratch mate nice finds too i always learn something watching your vids goodonya mate cheers
Thank you!! I love sharing what little I know about the earth :)
3 hours away from a garnet infested area. One of these days I'm going to get up there and get some, as it's my birthstone :).
My experience with the area says...ALL those roads look familiar, and for the most part that's correct...because I had driven them over and over while lost...lol.
That’s a garnet darnet
I hope these days, you use your rock bag as a deflector shield when you break rocks. saves on search time when I explode interesting rocks. 😛
I've been a rock hoarder my whole life lol but I now consider myself a rockhound. I feel the difference is in the day the last 5years since my children have grown I have the time to learn what kind of rocks I'm finding instead of it being "oh that's a pretty rock, let's take it home. "
I'm curious if you've ever come across blue silica glass that's very porous? When I try to research it all I come up with is Gem silica but this isn't the same color.
Oh And I think it's important to add I'm in southern Michigan. No vents that I'm aware of.
Finally found this place!
Really gorgeous Garnet pockets nestled in the ginormous rocks of that grand scenery! Every adventure with Elley, is a learning experience thank you for posting!
Really cute burrows in the sunset. And they're wild and Free they don't have to carry a giant load for a gold crazed Miner!
Great finds
Thank you
I assume this is all state-owned or federal land, yeah? Theres lots of crown land around me, but its dense forests and swamps. Good for calamite fossils, though. If you can find a empty patch of dirt. 😀
Where on this beautiful earth did you find these garnets? Being a rockhound I am always looking for somewhere to go! Great videos love to know where you are going.
I would suggest before hitting the rocks with your hammer bring a bag to place the rock into. Such as a leather bag then the gems you are trying to separate from the host rock will not fly off and be lost instead they will be contained in the bag. Do Well
Digging in that tuff can be some tough stuff:)
Lol cute
@@ElleyKnowsRocks That's what all the girls tell me:) I was an assistant geologist at the Gold road years ago. I'm actually an extractive metallurgist. You find it and i give you the best most inexpessive method of recovery
Can you find anything worthwhile with UV lights in the desert? My kids want to look for scorpions 🦂 but it would be cool to find minerals or fossils. Any tips?
A black light is a great way to find things in the desert. You can find Calcite, and fluorite less likely that you would find fossils with a black light.
Opals and Uranimun (or probably the calcite that glows within the U).
Garnet is my birth stone.
Elley, this seems like a fun adventure. Thanks for taking us along.
You are welcome! It was fun
Not trying to sneak up on anyone, I'm just out hiking. Please don't shoot me
What are the San Tan Mountains made of or what kind of rocks/gems can I expect to find there?
I hardly ever use a geologist pick as I find the two pound sledge and chisel much more powerful and controllable.
I like my 4lb hammer it works very well
@@ElleyKnowsRocks Four pound?! You must have strong forearms!
Find an ant hill. They collect the small ones for you. You can see them on Google earth/ maps as round bare spots.
Where did you get your leather cover for the rock hammer? Shame they make sand paper out of these beauty's.
Hey Elley, maybe consider a strong leather bag to put your rocks in, to break with your hammer, you'll maybe lose less to flight?? Looks fun!!
good idea
Great video! Educational, scenic, humorous and engaging. Nice soundtracking…. Whereabouts is this garnet outcropping?
This place is near Wikiup Arizona
when I went on vacation last summer outside of cortez, colorado. I picked up 4 garnets ...the size of half dollar. that I'm going to tumble.... at San Juan rock shop
if you know where 4 corners is...cortez isn't that far from there
I lived in that area for 25 yrs
❤❤❤❤❤
I heard you mention tuff, I think, have you looked for anything in the Bishope Tuff?
How do you find these places!?
34:27 center of pic above matching size garnets, Sillimanite gemstone? great vid Elley!
the largest one I found was about a centimeter across and the smallest on was about 4mm
@@ElleyKnowsRocks Awesome finds! None of the Garnets i have ever come across have naturally defined facets like those ones!
Yippi, bring on the goodness. Hi y'all.
:) thanks
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where is this site ?
Where was this site?
Yeah that segment @ 2:30 is pretty scetchy . I was there about 6 months ago
At 27:40, stop the video and go to settings on the upper right.
Go to, PLAYBACK SPEED, and switch to .05x.
Is it me, or is #drunkelly BETTER THAN #snldrunkuncle?!?
The music, everything.
Ha. Let’s collaborate, #panchosez!
I thought Tuff(?) would be much softer!
There was one part of the road that sucked. Lol .
✨️🙂✨️
I saw Michigan rocks put his chisel through a plastic storage container to stop the piece from flying to far.
That’s a great idea! Thank you!!!
You need a small piece of plate steel for an anvil in your bag
Where is this at?
Arizona :)
Love garnets! They are fragile and hard not to break out of hard rock!
thank you so much
I know you know. But be safe when going alone 💁♀️✨✌
Thank you
Put it in a bag and smash it! Take em with you, smash at home in a grocery bag! Oh my GOD!! Put them in a bag! You're loosing your garnets.You shouldn't be out there alone! Need to get a battery operated roto-Hammer. What a gorgeous area, where is this?
Next time big a bag of 🍎's for the burros.
Hahahah great idea
You're terminology is so Hot 🔥 love this channel Wow all I can say Wow 😎👍💯🇺🇲
I saw the second episode. I hope they get smarter. It's never good when you are the smart one and they can't figure it out. Be safe , no polar bears.
Thanks, I hope they get smarter too.
I abandoned the WonderHussy channel after she tried to kill her cat. You are more interesting And seem so much smarter, I am just discovering your channel and hope it does well. Good adventures so far.
Can you please tell me where that’s at and how to get there
In fact, those beautiful stones are an excuse, the main purpose is to experience nature alone.🏞️
Those “blood blisters “ …yup, I know.
Dear soul, 🪶WalkINBeauty 🪶🙏🏾🌎💯
