    You got sum really cool rocks up there !! Those cycads and seam agates are AWESOME! Nothing beats a day out rock hounding with your kids . So nice of you to share with us . I have picked up rocks my whole life . Mostly geodes , Indian artifacts and fossils in Illinois for over 40 years . We retired and moved to mount Ida Arkansas last year . Actually picked this location for the fishing and scenic beauty . Then found out it’s the quartz capital of the world .. So now I go crystal huntin at old mines . It’s a passion and also a sickness . Lol !! We had 15 five gallon buckets of rocks to haul when we moved !! Plus several boxes of specimens and 2 truck loads of big yard rocks .

      I see lots of crystal collecting videos from Arkansas. Amazing the crystals you can find there. That is something we don;t have here is crystal deposits like that. it would be cool to dig for them.

    • @olmilfishrock
      @olmilfishrock 3 роки тому

      It’s work digging in tailings piles . But can b very rewarding. I would much rather spend my time walking a beautiful shoreline than diggin in the same hole for hours . To me crystals kinda start to look the same once you find very many . The variety of your rocks up there is so COOL ! I would send you and the boys a box of sum of my finds if I knew your address ?? Good luck rock huntin to you guys !!! .ROCK ON !! 😎

The botryoidal in there is nuts. It’s like the stuff we find in Rhyolite, isn’t that incredible. Them seam agates and blue chalcedony... ughh! Man just a rad video of good times houndin! Thanks mate!

    • @RockhoundingLife
      @RockhoundingLife  3 роки тому +1

      @@OzoneFineArtVentures they are early Jurrasic. They are hosted in a shallow marine limestone that over lies the massive basalt flow that stretches across the Bay of Fundy. They were buried in limestone, then rotted from the inside out. The limestone casted the skin of the tree and the rotted out centers were deposited with silica in the form of jasper, agate and opal. So technically they are limb casts and not petrifed wood.

    • @RockhoundingLife
      @RockhoundingLife  3 роки тому

      You are not allowed to remove fossils from the beaches in Nova Scotia. It's a terrible rule as most are further degraded and destroyed by the tides if you leave them losing them forever. If I fund a nice one like the one at the end I usually remove it and offer it up to our local natural history museum. If they don't want it I usually keep it

    So, are you guys the first and only rock hounds to pick this beach? It looks like there is material every where. You would have to look for days to find just one agate like those on Lake Superior. Thanks for the vids!

    • @RockhoundingLife
      @RockhoundingLife  3 роки тому

      It's early in the season so the beaches aren't picked over yet. Also, the Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world. 40 feet! The rocks are replenished and turned over with every tide. To give you an appreciation of the tide, if you look at the frame where I pan the camera across the shoreline at high tide the water would be above my head where I'm standing.

      I said there wouldn't be anyone on the beach when we got there, because there never usually is, and Nolan said there would be at least one person. I mistakenly said "wanna bet". There was an elderly couple doing a morning hike when we got there and they were just finishing but they weren't technically off the beach yet. Had we arrived just 5 minutes later.......😡
