    I like how you're making sure to show Sara and the dog at the beginning of your videos. It's always great to see the beautiful locations you visit and your great finds and learn more about different rocks. Thank you!

      @@CurrentlyRockhounding Yes, that's what they say. In truth there isn't the variety of geological minerals here as you have there. We do the best we can with what we have, and that's it. If you have enough time, you can look at Teesdale, North East England, my part of this big world ! Lead Mining was the thing in the Upper River Valley, along with some other industrial minerals.

    Thanks for finding my ball, I hooked it something fierce off the third tee but was hoping it'd still be in a playable lie! In golf you always gotta believe that you're just one swing away from magic~ On another note, other than the wind to help clear out the smoke, it looked like a really nice day to go explore and hunt goodies!👀 Thanks for sharing the adventure sir, hope you have a nice rest of your week~👍 PS. Gonna float over on the John Day past Fossil this weekend, should be nice!

    I do enjoy your videos. I am in Egypt right now but it is so covered with limestone and sandstone that I’m having difficulty finding rocks. The two that I did find are spectacular (I think) but I don’t know much.

    • @CurrentlyRockhounding
      @CurrentlyRockhounding  3 роки тому

      I'm happy you enjoy the videos. I really know nothing about the geology of Egypt, but my quick glance at the Macrostrat website shows me that you have a number of geological systems and fault lines which could be worth researching more.
