    Nate ... I always end up learning something about what ever your quest or adventure is concerning. When I was a child my first rocks I was drawn to was Snowflake obsidian. I always feel blessed to watch one of your episodes, so thanks always for them... Quest On!

    Well that was just a wonderful episode and just so full of good information! I love obsidian and feel blessed to have spent most of my life, growing up on Mt Tabor, which is an extinct volcano right in the middle of Portland, OR. The whole mountain was basalt and obsidian. My mom had me outside trying to do yard work, and I pulled up old torn up pieces of landscape webbing and I was going to be laying down fresh webbing so I was trying to get as much of the old as I could , so it didn't get caught up in the rototiller. And I kept pulling out these large chunks of obsidian! There was a fair amount of basalt too, but that whole area was just covered in obsidian. I only found black myself but I know a few friends that found mahogany and I have seen snowflake obsidian around there as well. But no colored sheen or anything but I was so over obsidian by the time I finished the yard! It was a huge house on a huge piece of property and why I even told my mom I would do it for her, I don't know! But we had a pretty good sized pile of chunks of obsidian by the time I was done! Lol! But now we have glass butte and it has all the colors and different types, all in one place. And they are quality pieces too. But that was really an informative and super educational episode, and one of the cooler places to hound! Thank you Nate! Any day I can learn something new, is a good day! ❤

    • @QuestForDetails

      yes glass butte is insane , I hunt over at Davis creek area, south end of goose lake over the border south into Ca, the grayness there is top shelf.

    Nice hunt. Definitely been missing the Sony. But it's still wondrous 😻

    • @QuestForDetails
      @QuestForDetails  3 місяці тому +1

      I couldn't ever get the Sony to shoot in higher than 760 , all the HD now is 1080 , 4 k , ect , but I do love the zoom in for sure, I spend massive energy now trying to get the close ups later with camera but often wonder if we should be hounding with the Sony.... its hard to know which my viewers would prefer, so I appreciate input, its all about what the viewer prefers to experience for sure so I would take advice from you all to get it perfect if I could. thank you !

      If you're spending that much more time and energy, I'd say go with the Sony in the next hunt, and ask the community what they prefer. You know my answer. I've never seen anyone capture the fine details in their finds like you did with the Sony. NE-VER

    Obsidian is attractive to me, but i've never seen it coupled with moss. Oh my WOW! My eyes and thoughts are also at peace with the energy you captured from the scenery. I'm glad you didn't slice your fingers open 🙂Get some rest Nate, then rock on!!

    Do you have a segment on polishing obsidian? I found a fist-sized chunk in my back yard in Santa Rosa. It has a cool bright green blob on it and I have a rotary tumbler …but just want to see how someone else tumbles a single large piece

      Bacho Pradines ! they might feel funny in you grip at first but you'll never go back , just broke mine after 15 years, nothing else feels the same now, they are so well designed to use the levers of your grip it makes the cuts like butter, might have to order from over seas theses days, havnt seen them in stores in long time, French I believe.
