Agate hunt at Birdlings Flat in New Zealand - I cut them and one is quite a surprise!

- I headed off to Birdlings Flat just south of Christchurch to go and find some agates. I was there for about 3 hours and we found about a hundred agates between the 3 of us.
I also used my rock saw to cut a number of them to see what is inside. One was really suprising

![Awesome agate hunt in a New Zealand river - and I cut the rocks at the end! [Hinds river, NZ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/paGbwnyyPyM/mqdefault.jpg)
Used to come here with adear friend Kayla Russell, when we were younger. Her parents had a bach there. (Her stepdad would tumble stones too)Loved sitting there looking at all the pretty stones
Nice bonus content. I love rock hounding. I found my first blue chalcedony in September of this year. stoked to find more in the new year. I think you might be right about the wood. When you tilted it back you could see the rings. Great finds that day .Thanks for sharing.
Very cool! That blue chalcedony sounds incredible!
@17:09, could that be stromatolite? Or maybe just a mundane mossy agate? It's really cool, whatever it is! I love that you posted an agate hunt today, my Mom sewed camo-patterned shoulder bags for all the grandchildren. They spent a couple of hours running around madly collecting pretty rocks, then filing by my chair to show them off and try to identify each one. Had a great time! Hope this finds you well--safe travels and happy hunting!
Oooh that could well be mossy agate! Sounds like you had a great Christmas!
Loved the rocks & the cutting...they were all great! Even the ones you didn't like!
😁🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
Yay! Glad you like them 😃
Finally a mamlambo rocks vid
I need to spend more time doing them!
I love watching the cutting , these are great , really enjoyed the vid , do more and get a full selection of all the rocks and anything interesting and unusual , happy Christmas, peace ✌️ 🌴😎
Awesome! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video…as usual. I could not help thinking that the bucket must be a lot lighter than your normal haul 👏👏👏
Hahaha yes it really was!
I would've loved seeing the quality agate with the quartz through the center polished. Nice finds. You have such a good eye finding goodies among the rocks. 👍❤️
Thanks Linda!!
I was just there a few days ago without knowing anything about the agates when driving back from Akaroa. I was blown away by the rounded rocks and beauty of the place. Wish I knew about the agates then.
Oh snap! I didn't know about the rock channel! 🤩 What awesome agates you found
I thought I would have them separate so people can choose which one to subscribe to. I need to post more though!
Loving your videos, and CC's too, you wanna do more hunting with the sun shining LoL :-)
Yeah, it was quite overcast!
Its fun doing this a birdlings flat just never ever go swimming there..I think you would get the feeling its super dangerous.
Yeah, the current is crazy
Bring a rake next time, go industrial on it ;)
Not a bad idea!
Went to birdlings flat today with the whanau and I accidentally filled a bucket with things hahha they were weighing down my pocket first time tumbling stones so I hope I found some goodies
Thanks for another great video mate.
I was recently down south a bit from birdlings and found some nice little agate's. But also picked up a couple of stones just like the larger ones you picked up. Unsure what it is as I currently have nothing to cut them, but does look like some type of quartz.. ? Maybe I really dont know.
I was trying to figure out how I missed this video...then I realized it was a separate channel from the fossils. Haha
Subbed to this channel too now :)
Rock on!
Hhahaha thanks! The poor rockhound channel doesn't get much love!
@@mamlamborocks that's a shame!
😁 Great video mate 👍🏻👍🏻
I can't tell for sure but the last cut rock kind of reminds me of a really mossy or plumy agate.
Thanks OR!
This is so beautiful to watch
Thanks!
Father of two here who is looking at getting my young kids interested in rock hunting and rock cutting. Great for learning and bonding. You wouldn't happen to have a start point for me to look into, regarding rock cutting equipment? I see in a comment below you have a Redwood saw, any other thoughts or places for me to look at seeing i'm starting out and on a budget? Cheers!!
What kind of slab saw do you use? It looks different from most slab saws, I like it because you can see it cutting and you can slab smaller rocks🙏🤎
It's a Redwood Engineering rock saw made in New Zealand.
@@mamlamborocks I wonder if they make anything like that in the states, it would make sense. Thanks again.
Do you ever check the clear banded agates for Iris?
Is that the rainbow shine? I haven't thought to look for it, but I should start!
All the times I went there, I never found any that easy.....
What a great eye you have for these rocks and fossils. The one with texture on it looks almost like a regular rock to me, did the color then make the difference for you?
Yeah, it's usually the colour or texture. But I'm by no means an expert, I still bring rocks back that aren't agates :)
I see alot of those white skinned agates here in Washinton state
Birdlings Flat is probably the place in New Zealand where I find most of mine.
just a bunch of white and gray coral
Have you checked your beaches with UV light? Wonder if there is anything fun that might have been missed. :)
I have and all the bits of shell glowed 😄
0:34 picks up agate, leaves jade on beach.
Adoro rochas vulcanicas roladas, tenho bastante delas de diversas partes do mundo, faço massoterapia com pedras quentes. Abraço do Brasil.🇧🇷
I wonder if they glow under uv light long and short wave?
Some do!
Would there be fossils out here too ?
Only petrified wood from what I know
