Rockhounding, prospecting, rock hunting, stone collecting - call it what you will, it all boils down to one thing: getting outside and exploring the great outdoors. And nothing beats rockhounding in the Pacific Northwest, especially in the beautiful state of Oregon. It's a passion of mine to hunt for unique stones and bring them to life through crafting. There's something truly special about uncovering the beauty of newly discovered materials and turning them into works of art, jewelry, and other crafts. From agates to jasper, sagenite to crystals, quartz to opal, and even petrified wood, Oregon offers a wealth of minerals to collect. So, let's get outdoors, hunt some rocks, and create something beautiful together

😍 the jasper with green, the nodule, the bots…! 🎉
All this material reminds me so much of the areas we hound in central oregon. Basically finding the exact same stuff. Geology rocks!
@14:13 is that the one I gave you at the end of the trip?! I totally should have kept that HAHAHA!
Looks like brecciated pet wood or something.
Cool vid man.
Looks like it's time to do another adventure eh
That one turned out to be pretty interesting. It's definitely time to go on another rockhounding adventure. 👍
12:39. Oh, wow! And everything after. Nice!
Glad you liked. 😁
Wow! That is some gorgeous material! That one that you thought wasnt solid in the middle was unexpected! All of the material is just absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you enjoyed the material and found it beautiful. The one that turned out not to be solid I thought was neat. Thank you for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts. I'm always happy to share my rockhounding adventures and discoveries with others who appreciate it. 😁
Nice finds, been finding some good things here also
It's a good spot! 😁
Awesome! I definitely need to revisit my old home ground.
Killing me...I can see that hillside from my living room! Thinking road cut purple in ashland today!
Just now finding your channel and gave you a sub. Love all the different types of material you find. We like to find petrified wood and agate when we can. We enjoyed watching and are looking forward to more videos. Good luck on your next hunt!

Great video and nice finds! I'm subbing for sure!
I'm in the Willamette Valley and recommend trying the Willamette River for some fantastic carnelian, as well as lots of jasper and petrified wood. A buddy of mine even found a geode awhile back.
Happy hunting!
Appreciate it, I don't have nearly enough carnelians! It looks like I'll have to hound the Willamette River. 😁
@@RockHoundQuest There's a spot in Albany where the Calapooia River and Willamette meet, if you're lucky you may find some Holley blue agate there. It's usually smaller pieces but I've found some really nice gems.
I never made it last year, to the top of the road - too old, carrying too may tools(LOL),and a faulty back pack. Do you know what altitude it was where you are finding all of these. I'm asking because my son has a hundreds of acres in White City west of Worthington and his highest altitude is around 2,000 feet. I've found quartz, jasper, bloodstone and some big and lots of small petrified wood right on and along side some of the roads he's made through the property. I figure If I knew the altitude where you're finding so much material, I could concentrate on looking there since I don't have to walk the property, the Polaris could get this 83 year old body there alive! LOL. Thanks to you and Andrew for all the great, inspiring videos!
I'm not sure what altitude I was at in this video. We know this is a popular spot, so we started by hiking a good distance in to find areas that haven't been picked over as much. I can tell you that I've found cool stuff from the bottom to the top; it's all over. Regarding your son's property, if you are finding good material when he is putting in roads, I would start there. Follow the fresh road cuts until you find a more densely populated area. Then, look around for outcroppings of rock or hills that the material could be coming from. We look at freshly dug or newly eroding spots to get an idea of what is nearby
@@RockHoundQuest Thanks so much for responding. After all the rain we've been having, I hope next time I'm up there with him, there will be more to find! Thanks again for the video - great finds!
When did Eagle Pt. burn? What year? You found some great looking rocks! Thanks.
Pretty sure it was the summer of 2020.
Summer 2020 sucked here
