Bless this man! His deep love of rocks & crystals is so heartwarming & well, beautiful. The sky could be turning tartan & hes so wrapped up in his love of didcovering new rocks etc he would never notice, such dedication is so admirable. I could listen to him all day coz theres some kind of magic in his voice 💎🌟 a real diamond geezer
I am new to the rock hounding world and appreciate your videos! I have a thirst for knowledge and I appreciate how you explain the how, the what ect... I live in Washington and want to take a trip to your neck of the world, (and so many other places), to see what treasures I can find! Thank you and keep the videos coming!!
I love your imagination. So many adults lose it, don’t ever lose yours. It’s refreshing. I love that jasper rock at the end. So pretty. What a great find.
Sorry to post twice...- We like all of your videos ...we rockhound and search in a simular way that you do- ♡so, you cannot go wrong , we loved your Ocean video also!!
Rocks are one of my passions. My mother's too. She found a piece of green jade large enough to form a component for her headstone. You do have a great eye. I collected a large pile of aggots as a child. I'd pick them up by the hundreds in back alleys of Edmonton AB.
I live in Mendo Co trying to find this jade in the Eel. I'm wondering get if the skin is hiding it from me. No agates so far, bummer. Lots of Chert and bracciated jaspers.
I love your video, I just recently started to rock hunt, and I have some really cool rocks I saw several of the rocks in your video that are in my collection. Seeing them made me so happy, I love your enthusiasm and imagination. Thank you for your time, be safe and happy hunting....oh I also absolutely loved your rock masterpiece, to me it looked like 2 ducks. Absolutely awesome👍🐚☄⛏🙋♀️
@ 8:50 love the music and your creation of schmoozing rocks. Nice combo. made this old woman smile. would love an update on that piece of metal. . check with a museum on that. Looks like an extremely ancient sword.
i found myself jamming... banging music intro :) fantastic and beautiful ARTiFACTS!!! what you created was awesome too :) ~dor ooooohh lol i too have a hard time getting the light right on my beauties while out on an adventure!! haha .. nice :)
Nice rockhounding 👍 ...I suspect that 'rusty sword' is authentic wrought iron hardware which held the sideboards of a buckboard or other wagon on, or a wrought iron piece of some other wooden conveyance or equipment, common throughout the last several hundred years. The square hole/s are for carriage bolts that are square under the round head, likely bolted to a wide plank, the 'tang' of the 'sword' was likely threaded and the 'pommel' is the remains of a nut, likely square, which likely bolted through a larger wooden frame member of whatever it held together. The "stringy" composition is indicative of old fashioned wrought iron, very low carbon with poor cohesion.. A sword blades metallurgical composition would be more cohesive even after extreme degradation such as this. Its also extremely unlikely the maker would have drilled any large holes in a sword blade, creating a weak point. Whatever handguard a sword had would more likely to have had a hole for the blade, and slid on the blade, regardless of it's continent/culture of origin, Celts to Japanese, Kergan to Arabian,etc
I'm so happy I found your channel! I live around central Wisconsin and I LOVE collecting rocks. I've got buckets in my garage and house. I don't have equipment to do anything with them, I just collect the ones I think are beautiful. No one else I know is as passionate about rocks as I am. They might think I'm a touch mad. Hahahahahaha. Thanks again! On to the next video. 🤩
Buckets and buckets and buckets. My olady is starting to complain about the buckets and piles of rocks. So far I have been carving on a couple. But really I am kinda leery of carving to many. At least till I learn what they all are. I have Jasper ,chirt ,agate , fossils, pudding stones all sorts. But I still have a hard time telling what some of them are
Greetings and thank you for this awesome video. I deeply appreciate your appreciation for Creation.... How you talked about the different stones and built an altar with them. Ahhh the shells.... Much Honor My Brother... Allah in my name = the Tree of Life, in Hebrew. Respect.
I keep finding Indian artifacts everytime I go rock hunting anywhere in this town in my own backyard even although I just started back with rock collecting
I enjoy finding and cleaning all the rocks on the 40 acres, with creek that I live on. Conglomerates, sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic and a combination. Nothing like you found, but the volcanoes around here were mostly Rhiolitic lava.
I loved this one too. Definitely on my list of things to do before this summer ends. Bit bloody hot here in London right now though so I think I'll stay indoors and watch another of your videos. :)
great vid keep them coming please.. your metal find is a Hand-Forged Draw Strap used in hitch wagon building..you can still buy them at wagon supply stores.
Dude that's a great score. I'm up on lake superior for my yearly trip with my wife and we rock hunt every year. She scored a good sized black rock with some crystal on it that I cant ID. But it's a sweet score.
I will be spending much of the month of April primitive camping in CA. I was starting to worry I wouldn't know how to fill all my spare time. Now I am working in some of these great spots you have shown. Always something I was interested in and your videos are helping me learn lots. Thanks a million!
At first I was thinking, "I've got to find that place" because if all your great finds... then I realized, I walk over that stuff all the time - I just don't have to eye to find it. You have "the eye."
I just love your videos! Your voice is so soothing and the information so interesting. The jasper is so beautiful and the serpentine sublime. Loving the agates and obsidian too. Rocks rule! I wash and clean my rocks and agates and use mineral to soak them in. It brings out their natural beauty as when they are wet. I just have a funny feeling that rocks are calling out for mineral oil when they are so dry. I have thousands of different types of rocks but not all get the oil treatment, just the silicates primarily. Looking forward to your new Quest for Details so I can live vicariously through you. Thanks Nate! Pray your homestead has made it through all the recent fires and unexpected dilemmas' that you and your loved ones have had to suffer through also. Builds character and allows you to find out what you're made of. You are made of peace, love and compassion for your fellow man and this earns you my respect. Until the new quest, peace be with you and yours. :) P.S., Nate I also have seen ZemZem with you, moms and pops and I have the utmost respect for all they've taught you and their zest for life. 💕😉😊
Last year I worked nights. I would come home and turn on this channel. I would fall asleep to Nates voice and wake up minutes or hours later . Love his mom too.
Have you ever thought to sell any of your finds? 😊 You should open an on-line store for your gemstones and specimen rocks. I know they'd sell because I'd buy some , for sure. 😉 Maybe a dagger. Cool. Sure wish we had these colors of rock over here as well as the petrified wood and specimen rocks. I'm getting jealous!😊
I noticed allot of beautys that you missed.right behind the stone stack you made there was a nice one. Bottom left of the shell scean was another looked like a agate. That one you said is a opal I was thinking was a similar kind of agate we have around here in Michigan.
I wasn't rock hunting but showing off to my beautiful lady flat rock skimming the first rock I thought was flat wasn't it was a rock kept it anyway long story short weeks later I analysed The rock and I was shocked to see that there was a foot print and part of the stomach of a frogs imprinted in to this rock I still have on my person today by its look weight colour and hardness it looks to be 1to2mil years old.thanks for you vid.
This has been my first visit to your vids!! Wht pleasant!!!, ,find!!!! . . .From one 'ol 'rock dog'to another, , , ,We, speak the same language!!!! & I subscribed, & will, be returning, for more!! THANK YOU!!!
Nate I found a black Rock simular to that knife bit at 12:30ish in the video. It's not of obsidian I don't believe, I also found a stone that fits my palm like a grinding stone would, with dibits like for fingers and gripping. BTW, nice to see teespring for Quest apparel!
Could the black stone with white flecks be Snowflake Obsidian? I don't know if that is a variety of Obsidian that can be found in California, but that's what it looks like to me...
I think that metal you said looks like a sword or cross to me sort of looks like be an old metal bands like you see as support on the outside of old wooden trunks and suitcases or maybe an envelope opener lol🤷🏻♀️
It would be an honor to rockhounding with you. I have not experienced such journey. I am located in Northern California. Please let me know and experience the excitement as well. Thank you in advance
What an awesome video!! I love rocks and crystals and fossils.. Where (which state) is this beautiful place?? It’s so lovely and tranquil.. I’d pitch a tent and camp for a week just to hunt without having to leave and come back!!! Love your enthusiasm!!!
Like about 6:00 in or so you call the rocks foot goodness. But curious as to what they are? I have slot of these in my back yard.. it's 200 acres with creek running through in northern Missouri. I've got slot of meet finds here I just don't Kno what none of it is
Thank you so much, glad we can connect and share from different parts of the globe, small world ! I subscribed to you, it would be cool to see some vids of your land part of the world, thanks for watching !!
So I'm wondering about the Sword/dagger find. Any update info on it? So interesting it is! It really has my imagination going? Like could it be Spanish? 1600-1700? Hope you find an agate point to the Mother Agate. I feel like you will someday.
Just started to get interested in rock hunting and you are a fantastic teacher. Glad I found your channel. Do you ever rock tumble your finds? And if you do - what tumbler do you recommend.? Thanks for some great videos.
Bless this man! His deep love of rocks & crystals is so heartwarming & well, beautiful.

Really cool stuff specially the knife
Your love and appreciation for your humble subjects comes through in every word and is infectious. You have a gift, and thank you for sharing it.

Had to come back to this one to see that core jasper again. It's breathtaking!! 😘👍💖💕
Beautiful knife .

Thank you. Please keep sharing:) you adventures and finds!
I’ve never watched rock hunters before, so interesting. Enjoying this tremendously.
You picked some beautiful stones. I enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Sorry to post twice...- We like all of your videos ...we rockhound and search in a simular way that you do- ♡so, you cannot go wrong , we loved your Ocean video also!!
That my friend 3 / 4 of your video is. a. Knife, no doubt in my mind...that's one sweet find!!
Love watching your video!!
Hey mate we have a shit load of that black and white quartzie volcanic like rock over in Australia

Geri Acheson same here
I live in Mendo Co trying to find this jade in the Eel. I'm wondering get if the skin is hiding it from me. No agates so far, bummer. Lots of Chert and bracciated jaspers.
I dont think I could ever head back to the truck!! That area is incredible!

My favorite video of what I've seen so far.
Two year old comment liked by the creator. ♡
I still watch your videos!
That was so funny! Had a good laugh ! Amsomeness! Had a good time.😉
Good PROSPECTING!!!!
I keep coming back to this video to find that jasper "core" again and again. It is the most beautiful rock ever. Soooo inspired.
Love, love, love all of your rockhounding videos. Can't wait for the next hunt! Thank you for taking us along.
I think those big ones you busted open were petrified wood. I swear, but I could be wrong. It was a little after the 7 minute mark.
GREAT artifacts of obsidian! Oh and rocks. 😎😁
Looks like snowflake obsidian. 😁❤️
Awesome rock knife! Wow what a find! 💖💞😍😍😍
That sword/bayonet find was epic 👌
Thank YOU* YOUR* AWESOME 🤗🌷
Learning* Alot from You.

A dagger, perhaps? Nice finds, Nate. 😊
Love the jasper. Star of the show
Great job!thankyou for sharing!
Wow that was awesome 🙂
I just love your channel. Learn so much from you. Thank you so much for sharing.
Gawd.... I love , love love rocks!!! Great video as always..Thanks !

Me too ...they definitely think I am a bit cray for my passion and love of my extensive collection! Bwhahah
Buckets and buckets and buckets. My olady is starting to complain about the buckets and piles of rocks. So far I have been carving on a couple. But really I am kinda leery of carving to many. At least till I learn what they all are. I have Jasper ,chirt ,agate , fossils, pudding stones all sorts. But I still have a hard time telling what some of them are

DEVIL YES, great video and please come back and explore this area?
Thanks
@3:35 I want to say that's a medium grained Gabbro. I could be wrong but it sure does look like it.
Beautiful piece what ever it is
Sounds like bill Murray(Caddy Shack) looking at minerals 😂😂🤣
Alaska's Finest more like Ed from Northern Exposure
Totally caddy shack! Or where the buffalo roam!
I keep finding Indian artifacts everytime I go rock hunting anywhere in this town in my own backyard even although I just started back with rock collecting
Cool quest! Nate was here. I'd love to watch you find more treasures at this gorgeous location. Tfs.
I enjoy finding and cleaning all the rocks on the 40 acres, with creek that I live on. Conglomerates, sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic and a combination. Nothing like you found, but the volcanoes around here were mostly Rhiolitic lava.
living the life I hope to soon to
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing them. God bless!
id be goin back with a backpack for that big one!
And the many he missed.
I loved this one too. Definitely on my list of things to do before this summer ends. Bit bloody hot here in London right now though so I think I'll stay indoors and watch another of your videos. :)
Waoww..
wow the opal!!! Super Nice!!!
Sun Shine I just wanted to let people know that that stone is actually an agate.
You got a settler's knife
great vid keep them coming please.. your metal find is a Hand-Forged Draw Strap used in hitch wagon building..you can still buy them at wagon supply stores.
Great video! Keep up the good work
Dude that's a great score. I'm up on lake superior for my yearly trip with my wife and we rock hunt every year. She scored a good sized black rock with some crystal on it that I cant ID. But it's a sweet score.
hey that rock that breaks wen u push it with your finger would make a good puzzle $$$$$

Now I am working in some of these great spots you have shown. Always something I was interested in and your videos are helping me learn lots. Thanks a million!
Thats my happiness of the day ... I agree
Wow!!!! An Obsidian Handaxe. Probably Prehistoric. What's the location?

Nate I found a black Rock simular to that knife bit at 12:30ish in the video. It's not of obsidian I don't believe, I also found a stone that fits my palm like a grinding stone would, with dibits like for fingers and gripping.
BTW, nice to see teespring for Quest apparel!
when it fits right in your hand and you can see purpose in the working edge left, you know you have a tool, good hunting,!
Could the black stone with white flecks be Snowflake Obsidian? I don't know if that is a variety of Obsidian that can be found in California, but that's what it looks like to me...
I think that metal you said looks like a sword or cross to me sort of looks like be an old metal bands like you see as support on the outside of old wooden trunks and suitcases or maybe an envelope opener lol🤷🏻♀️
18:00 That's an edge curve file. So basically a file. The wood has rotted off the Tong.
It would be an honor to rockhounding with you. I have not experienced such journey. I am located in Northern California. Please let me know and experience the excitement as well. Thank you in advance
nice one
👍👍👍
What an awesome video!! I love rocks and crystals and fossils.. Where (which state) is this beautiful place?? It’s so lovely and tranquil.. I’d pitch a tent and camp for a week just to hunt without having to leave and come back!!! Love your enthusiasm!!!
Isnt the piece picked up at 3:20 "Snow flake obsidian" ??
Yes! Go back to this river for more searching.
Like about 6:00 in or so you call the rocks foot goodness. But curious as to what they are? I have slot of these in my back yard.. it's 200 acres with creek running through in northern Missouri. I've got slot of meet finds here I just don't Kno what none of it is
Great video. Im a great fan of you.
Unfortunately we don't have that kind of rocks and crystals in the Netherlands
Thank you so much, glad we can connect and share from different parts of the globe, small world ! I subscribed to you, it would be cool to see some vids of your land part of the world, thanks for watching !!
I wish there was some serpentine where I am .
3:35 it might be diorite, or gabro like Gila Bear said.
Thank You : )
👍
So I'm wondering about the Sword/dagger find. Any update info on it? So interesting it is! It really has my imagination going?
Like could it be Spanish? 1600-1700?
Hope you find an agate point to the Mother Agate. I feel like you will someday.
Opal is brittle and agate is solid and doesn't break unless you crack it with a hammer
I wish you would tell people where you are in these videos.
Napa co. has snowflake obsidian as well. So the piece you found is probably from you know where
hi !!
Where in the world is this at... I would love to be there to look around
Northern Ca
The rock you found after the knife kinda looked like fire agate.
جميل 👍🇸🇦
thank you : )
Just started to get interested in rock hunting and you are a fantastic teacher. Glad I found your channel. Do you ever rock tumble your finds? And if you do - what tumbler do you recommend.? Thanks for some great videos.
