When they get back to their Montana home, Kate puts her finds in the rock tumbler to give them their wet-from-the-ocean look. It's half beach adventure, half tumbling fun - come along!

    I miss hounding at the beach! For a few years back in the day, I lived on the central coast of California and used to find agate, jasper, jade and many others along with cool shells including little tiny complete sand dollars. That was when I bought my first tumbler. I still go back occasionaly and even have dreams about rockhounding there. Thanks for letting me tag along!

    I lived on the Oregon coast for 12 years. Loved beach combing finding so many wonderful things esp the agates. I have buckets and buckets of them and have given as many away. It was a wonderful way to spend time!

      I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Rockhounding was actually pretty big in the early 70s - that's when my Dad was into it. Maybe you can get into it NOW in a small way - there are rocks everywhere! :)

    Wow katydid! That incredible waterline really stole the show!!! I almost thought it was one of mine that I’d dropped, because I hound that beach so often and have verrry similar ones LOL!!!
    I usually keep my stuff beach polished but the tumbles look great.

    Not sure if someone has already answered your question: the layer of white net-like stuff at 1:24 is an encrusting bryozoan, a marine organism. Pretty common to find bryozoan encrustations on the surfaces of rocks, shells, kelp, etc.

    Thanks kate, for taking us on your rocks journey through the tumbler! The pet woods are my favorites and they turned out awesome. I absolutely loved your big agate and your explanation of your feelings you got from it. You speak (and write) so well, that we felt what you felt, just looking at it, and it was beautiful! They were all spectacular! Thanks so much for sharing!

    Absolutely loved the tumbling portion of the video.
    I like how you put them in the vibe, and left them with the natural pits.
    I dont have a vibe yet.
    I have become way too fussy with my tumbles.

    Thanks. I'm new to the hobby & still trying to learn the difference between the rocks on the beach. I'm in San Diego but the Oregon beach looks very similar to ours. Maybe a little colder.🙂

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  Рік тому

      Ha, yes, the Oregon coast is quite a bit colder than SD. I'm not sure if there are agates on California beaches, as I haven't hunted them - but if they look similar, they sure might be!

    Hey Katy, nice video, rockhounding at the beach can be fun. I’ve found that on the final polish to fill the tumbler with water to the point where it is just covering the rocks/agates so that there is less friction/grinding between the rocks and more polishing. Thanks for sharing.

    After watching your video I had an apifany* that caused me to pause my current batch of rock tumbling which was a full load of chalcedony and Carnelians because I realized I probably don't need to be using step 1 on these since I don't want them to get much smaller or change shape I just need them to become shiny. I checked a few and they seem to be okay, I packed my 3lb lortone pretty well and had alot of ceramic peanuts so I may take them out a few days earlier but I just wanted to say thank you because you made me realize I prob don't need to be wasting grit on these especially since I don't want my specimen peices to get smaller just want them to shiny:)

    Ms Did:🤣🤣 would you please make an explanatory, illustrated video on the quartz vs agate. I am not a skilled rock person. I'd love to know (see) the difference between say, clear quartz and agates. Or smokey quartz or any rock I might see on the ground. Just a small video about it???? You said "raised dough". But I see banded agates in your hand. Is that from quartz to agate? Am i just confused again? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
