    I'm so speechless. I meet a guy on Reddit and he lives in Montana and he collects on the Yellowstone River. He randomly comments on one of my Rock and Mineral posts and he wanted to send me stuff. Brecciated Jasper, Milk Agate, 2 Pieces of Pet wood and a Treasure State Agate with a little Druzy pocket. I am ever so blessed. Very beautiful pieces. 😍🌎👑 Crazy I watch your videos and Agate Dad's and Michigan Rocks and I don't know how that came about so randomly. I guess, "You ask and you may receive". ☺️❤️🛐✝️

    I was happy to see you had another new video out! That's a beautiful MT agate and you put a gorgeous, mirror polish on it. Thanks for sharing your hunt, cut and polish with us Alex!✌️🤠🤟

    Wow, I’d like to see more of the green on the base! It was gorgeous. Anyone have an idea for the green stone?

  • @nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976

    Great to see another video.
    I look forward to seeing more.
    We have had lots of fun with our rock saw too.
    The Agates just polish up so nicely.

    That first TSA is gorgeous! And your polished montana agate was beautiful. you could tell that it wasnt a yellowstone river agate, because of the host rock still attached, and it wasnt a really rounded, river tumbled rock, like the yellowstone river agate are, but still a definite beauty! Thanks for showing us the process! And your shop space! How do you like it so far? That 10" saw can cut some pretty large stone by rotating them. Its a great saw. But you have to watch your blade and make sure to use a dressing stick, especially with montana agates, because they will dull your blade faster that any other stone out there! they are super hard and quite large! Thanks For sharing!

    I'm not a rock hound. But, when my wife and I pulled into an RV Park in Sidney, MT, the owner told us about the Montana agate on the river next door. So, we went for a hike and discovered the agates everywhere on the banks of the river. I guess rock collectors make annual float trips down the Yellowstone in that NE corner of the State to load up barrels of rocks to sell at the rock shows in southern Arizona in the winter.

      I live 2 hours from there and there's no one getting buckets...A few weeks ago I picked up a chunk of petrified wood that weighs 4 lbs. Get away from tourists, it's much more fun.

    Beautiful finds. Can't wait to see more. Do you have rocks for sale as well? Both polished and not polished? That's a way to help support you as well. I only buy rocks from my favorite UA-cam channels I watch. Such a beautiful polish on that agate.

    Do you need a permit to take anything from the Yellowstone River? I know you need one for the Gallatin River. I am in Bozeman. That is one gorgeous agate!!

      No you do not need anything to collect rocks and minerals from the Yellowstone.
