    Hey mate, Dave here (yes one of the kids has hijacked my account again). Thanks for featuring my favourite, beautiful girl in your video: Zephora the German Shepherd (and Rhondda who is pretty good as well).
    You and the boys are welcome back any time, hopefully I can come with you guys and fulfil my normal rockhounding role of pack mule.
    A big thanks as well to everyone who has helped with Will. It really has been overwhelming that this international family of rockhounds have been so generous and supportive. We are finally making some progress with him which is a huge relief.
    Great video as always! The blonde is hot... she single?

    I can finish my comments now.
    Watched with difficulty, my windows are broken and i'm using an old pair that I have to keep moving or I get a headache.
    Amazing, truely amazing finds, no Sarcasm in this comment.
    You all looked like you had so much fun, i'm happy for you all.
    The finds you made were beautiful, the jaspers are totally unique and each type is only found in one area, so when it's gone, it's gone, what you have will easily make high grade specimen and some I saw will have a high, very high retail value, but that is not what it's about, ultimately the discovery, something i've never had the pleasure of.
    Rhondda, i'm so glad you had such a wonderful relaxed day, you deserve it, I wish I could have been there with you, bless you.
    Boys, I won't make this a long speech, Thank you, thank you for being you and taking rhondda away from her stressful situation for a well earned and deserved break and a fun, exciting time, ( don't forget the pre arranged fee for this comment).
    Cut carefully and cut well, for the Rocks that you cut, you could easily sell.
    The dull one, with the visible lines, should be left there for another to find.
    There were many, you will cut for yourself, that are worthy of being top shelf.
    Great video, thank you all, Love and respect.

      I think with these, I will be attending the lapidary club. If all goes to plan. I just would love to get a good opinion on the rough, some direction on the cuts, and of course, the use of a saw that is worthy 😉 as you so eloquently said, “cut carefully and cut well”... sending love brother! Thank you as always for being a genuine legend Symon. Thank you mate.

      Well, I Thank you good sir,
      Sometimes it's better having many heads, (unless you are a teenager) the combined experience and practical knowledge is unmeasurable, one suggests a good idea then another points out a pitfall, another suggestion followed by plenty of confirmation and the reason why.
      Working blind, not knowing what is under the skin, that's a risk factor, mid cut or end, I always out for end simply because if you discover real beauty inside you can use the flat as a datum for the base, central cut and five degrees off both flats and you have the face looking up showing off all it's beauty.
      But, nothing extra special inside and you still have a datum for making slab cuts, that seems like pretty much all of my work in the last two years, but hey it's still nice, just won't get me a new house, well maybe the lock, it's a start anyway so by the time i'm 278 years old I should have enough money for a shed.
      Rookie, nah, creek sweeper, Yep.
      To all of you beautiful rock loving people, be safe in these unusual times and remember, if nothing changes it remains the same, now off you all go, spread out in a bunch and hunt those Rocks.
      We need a motto, latin thing like Rockus findus lovus muchus, or Houndus rockus creekus et tracus lovus.
      Or perhaps not.

      Oh man Josh I know! The first time I took Benny hounding, he asked what I was doing on the weekend... and sheepishly I said, “oh just doing some creek walking and hiking... and looking for rocks...” I legitimately thought he would laugh at me straight away. But he asked if he could come along... haha! I thought he would be so board and think I was a weirdo, but he was hooked! I showed him what to look for and he was off and hounding and he honestly, always finds the best rocks of the day now haha!
      But I am so so blessed to have these guys and gal as my friends. The excitement when each other finds a rock is contagious, and I’m so grateful for their friendship. Thanks for you comment mate, I really hope you can get one of your friends hooked, you never know who else could be a silent rock nerd waiting to be discovered. 😉

It's so great to see you all together! And to see our sista having a day she needed so dearly. What an exciting day! I was talking with her right before you guys got there that day. I tried to send a short voicey to her to play for you all but not sure I sent it in time haha but yeah...i was so happy she was feeling better and didn't miss this epic day.
    Rhon has shown me pics of this material over time and I truly believe it's a plume of some sorts...just breathtaking really. And I cannot believe how big the pieces you all are finding are! I'm so curious what you may find if you dig a little deeper. I don't think anyone has ever hounded there besides Rhon...i imagine you could fill many wagons. I'm surprised that one didn't end up with 4 flat tires! Haha😄 so much greatness. Especially Benny's prize boulder....the candy red in that!🤤 yum yum gimme some! But Pauly's coprolite is a million years too young to be licking quite yet lol🤢😆 but that had me laughing pretty good haha

    I will say this with certainty...the rocks on Rhondda's road remind SO MUCH of what I find in and around Bloody Basin, here in Arizona. Look up Bloody Basin Plume Agate. Phenomenal stones. Radiolarite is usually just called Red & Yellow Jasper hereabouts. I find it all mingled and occurring together, clouds of color, pockets of translucence, whitish fortification bands...
    But those Rhondda stones! That shocking red and yellow in bursts and swirls with bands of Quartz with druse. Almost looks like an aerial view of Jupiter's weather or something. What a treat that you get to drag a wagon around for this location. SO many stones. If I had that one Benny stone I'd carve a skull from it.

      Hey brother, yeah this area is amazing with the Jasper. I am still waiting to do a cutting video on these so I can take some to the big saw at the lapidary club. But I can’t wait to see what’s inside of them. They’re pretty cool lookin. Thank you for the support man. It really helps the motivation at times 😉👍

    Where I do I start Jess, " holly suffering duck sh#t" in you words that is "rad".
    Since I started watching videos in Nov 2019, I could not tell you how many videos I have watched and I have only once seen material like that and that was Nate's from Quest and they are the equal to any of the jasper type material he has shown. You guys have just found some absolutely stunning material.
    Nice to know that Rhonda's son is progressing. Great to see Benny & Pauly & Rhonda out with you, look like you had a bit of fun trip.
    Love the crack up after Rhonda commented on "Pauly's" BIG ONE. 😂😂😂, stop licking meadow cakes, it might stop growing.
    Of course Benny finds something outstanding or large, this time both. Geez. 👍
    Looking forward to the next video, congratulations to all.
    Keep Safe & Keep Rockin

    I love that red one Rhondda found by the cow pie (6:13). Benny's huge red one (8:34) was awesome too. You're going to need a bigger saw. Are you allowed a wagon? I thought you had to haul everything out by hand so that you have to be more selective. How far away is Rhondda's place from you? I assume it's a ways away or you'd be there all the time. You found some awesome stuff. Great video. I'd give it two thumbs up if I was allowed to.

    • @Rookie_Rockounding
      @Rookie_Rockounding  3 роки тому +2

      Haha! Man rob I think I need to head to the lapidary club to get some sliced properly. I really want to get their professional opinion too.
      Yeah we’re allowed a wagon here, the main rule is you just aren’t allowed to use power tools or dig to a certain depth... I don’t know what depth though, I’m a surface pickin kinda guy 😁
      Haha! I’m only an hour away from Rhondda, but it’s more that our life schedules never line up. But when they do, we jump at the chance.

      @@Rookie_Rockounding I worked at the county road commission one summer during college. One day, they didn't have much for the three college kids who were working there to do, so they sent us out with a pick up truck of asphalt to fill some holes. The tailgate was down and they dumped a scoop from the loader on the back of the truck and the tailgate. Most of the weight was behind the back wheels so the front wheels were almost off the ground. It was like driving a boat. There was a fairly long hesitation between turning the steering wheel and the truck actually turning. Sounds like you were almost in the same situation.
