Kate you look great. Stay warm and thanks for sharing. ✌️❤️
Hello Kate. Hello everyone.
I found a 30lb agatized limbcast here in Central Oregon, out in the Bear Creek rockhounding area. If you do come through again, I'd be happy to show you where!
Wow, that sounds amazing!
Good one Kate, Congratulations , it is gorgeous . Well done .🧡💛🤎💚💙
This is your ginormous Thanksgiving find of the season. Can’t wait for next season!!!! WOW 🤩 Congrats Katy
Omgsh! That's just insane! What an amazing find! I watch all your videos just to be humbled by what the Yellowstone provides in your area. Your small are our biggest finds and your big finds are just Insane!!!!
Congratulations! Can't wait to see it happen. 😊
Holy moley. !!!!! What a find. All were great but that biigun (southernese). Wow. Can not wait to see what beauty hides inside. Thank You so much. Had a great time looking with you.
Wonderful finds, can't wait to see inside the big agate.
Reminds me of some of the smaller agates I found around lake Superior back in the late seventies while netting smelts. 😍😍 I had some with beautiful multi color banding...lots of red and white varieties. As big as a old metal coffee can +
beutiful Jasper and hurray for your Agate monster-rock
Hi Kate, WOW!!! What a wonderful find!!! I can't wait to watch you cut it!!! Whooo hooo!!! Take care.
Thanks!
HOLY MOLY Kate !! Score!!!!
Glad you found the chunky chunky you were looking for. If I found a LSA that big I think I would faint. Good video Kate.😎😎
Oh wow, congratulations on your big beautiful agate!! I bet you can't wait to cut into that other chunky one!🥰
Thanks! Lynn, you are the winner of the drawing - send your mailing address to katydidrocks@gmail.com. :)
@@KatyDidRocks 🥰so very excited to have won your beautiful book and first cab from your new trim saw!! Email with address sent twice because I was so excited I forgot to leave my name!🤣 Thank you so very much!
The big question is "Do you have a big enough saw to cut it?" If not, send it to me! Nice find.
:D I made a deal with my son that I wouldn't cut the largest agate I have found - so I'm guessing this one is safe for a while.
I enjoy your energy and adventures SO much! Thank you for sharing both.
Thanks a lot! :)
Congrats Katy, can't wait to see the cuts of the other one now. That serenity rock deserves a light behind it in a special setting!
Oh my gosh Katy! Lucky girl! You have trained your eyes to find beautiful agates! Congrats!
That was a ginormous agate! So big! it was a great find! And the rest of them were awesome too. Congrats on a 14+lbs agate!!!!
Wow! Your reaction made me smile 🤓. Well done!
Great finds! That giant agate and the yellow jasper are my favs. The other agates, jaspers and petrified wood are beautiful too! Thanks for sharing!✌️🤠🤟
So happy for you. Congratulations!
Oh my goodness, Kate that agate is fantastic!!! Congratulations
I do enjoy jasper. You found so many beautiful rocks.
Congratulations on that big chunkier and is so mossy and dendritic heck ya rock on Kate
Awesome agates. You're so lucky. Thanks for taking us along. ❤️
So awesome. I try to pick agate.
Truly enjoyed your excitement. Precious
Now that is definitely a plate of agateliscious if ever there was one!
Wow that is awesome! What a find! I like the petrified wood too! Thanks for sharing!
Found a new use for a beer mug! Nice find.
I just love your excitement. You are just a cool lady.
:) Thank you! This was a pretty exciting find, for sure.
Yep, me too... anxious to see what's inside.
It's like Christmas morning. 😛
That's 1 gigantic rock, cobgrats!
What a great day!!
Congratulations!!!! What an agate!!!!!!!!
Wow wow wow Katie I'm very impressed with your find 👏 good job thanks Ray
Wow! That was quite the find! What fun! They are all so fantastic!
I love your enthusiasm !
Petualangan berburu batu permata yang menyenangkan dihamparan luas dan mendapatkan batu motif lumut kuning yang indah mantap sobatku
What an awesome bunch of stones you got and I'm very much looking forward to you at the very least cutting off ends on that BIG agate!
I plan to polish the exterior with an angle grinder, so we can see inside without losing the size. ;)
@@KatyDidRocks that should totally do it and then we can peak at it's treasure
a very promising location there are lots of very beautiful and interesting rocks this is a challenge to exploit so that these rocks become very useful I really like them greetings from Indonesia
I love jasper and just amazed at how much variety there is in the jaspers. But my favorite has to be agatized wood.
All I can say is wow!!!! What a rock!!! Can't wait to see it after it's cut!
Seriously?!!' 😮🤯 That agate is HUGE 😳. All those dendrites too! I’m awe struck! Gorgeous on top of the size. I hope some day, your able to find a bigger one so you can cut this one into slices ❤
The rest of your find were so gorgeous. You are very blessed to live so close to all that beauty.
Thank you so much for sharing your adventure. Love your channel ❤. Missed Kava but I I’ve done the exact same thing here is WI, during hunting season. We have to protect our fur children 🥰
Stay Crystal 💫
Mari
Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for getting out there. Wise about Kava. I’d love to see the yellow Jasper cut after you said they can appear darker because of staining.
Wowzers
BEAUTIFUL large agate. Merry early Christmas to you. 🤓
That's so awesome
What a find! It looks dendritic with no major cracks :) Praying none show up once you polish the outside like your planning.
Lots of great finds! Wow!
Congrats on your find! It's huge!
Great finds!
Wow what an epic find! You guys on the Yellowstone sure are lucky! I was rockhounding one of the only reliable gravel bars on the Mississippi River a couple days ago and I was definitely thinking of you Montana folks. Finding agates and petrified wood that I think came from Nebraska South Dakota and Wisconsin! Not as cool as the Yellowstone though. I need to hook up with a Rockhound with a boat so we can hit all the gravel bars. It’s cool finding such diverse stuff! I’m really into the honey agates now (super light carnelian) they’re so shiny and glow in the light! Also the rocks on the big rivers are crazy smooth and polished! Some of the chert and agate looks like it’s been tumbled already! Definitely no 10 pounders though!!!
You have two new fans from Columbus, MT.
Hello Kate, I just subscribed! That giant Agate looks like a big eggplant. What a find. I have been watching you for years. God bless you! Your friend and fan, Kevin
Thank you! My husband said it looks like a giant, weird potato. :D
Congratulations, such great catches are a real joy. Unfortunately, we don't have such a set table, but it's still a pleasure to look for it. Greetings from the Czech Republic and wishes for a wonderful Christmas in the new year, lots of such catches, but above all good health. I can't get into nature without it.
Thumbs up and subs for your videos...👍👍👍
Thank you so much! Děkuju!
Nice finds
It seems that you came back with quite a load this time. Do you ever weigh your pack when you return home? Just wondering how much rock weight you think you have carried before (and how far). I have hunted the Yellowstone and even if you are selective, you can come back with some heavy loads. I really appreciate the way that you break away to show the rock that you just found after it's been properly cleaned at home. It's often hard to truly appreciate something when it's only been sprayed a bit at the river.
Hi Katy, went to watch the givaway video, but it isnt there.
Wow super agate!!!!!
Nice rock
What a great find! Now, how does Mr Did feel about missing out on that one?
God bless merry Christmas to y’all
* Humongus Football Sized Agate. . COOL..
Kate, I am going to be doing a rock adventure in MT in the next year. I am not asking for secret places but I would like to skip the areas that get heavily picked over. Can you recommend a source of info that I can look up places to go that do not require huge hikes to reach?
That sounds exciting! I would suggest just about any of the fishing access sites along the Yellowstone between Billings and Sidney. The farther east you get from Billings, the more luck you will have. If you want a description of what hunting is like in each of them, I wrote a book about it: www.etsy.com/listing/1089523180
Beautiful hunt. How will you slab that BIG agate?
👍👍👍👍👍 Subscribed!
Chunkalicious!
Cool find!! It's amazing. What made you look further at that rock?? What about it said agate? Thanks from a beginning WI agate hunter.
oh katy you are goinhg to make theo jelus
Chunknormous!!!!
You've raised the var, now your goal is at least a 16 to 17# agate. It just looked like a flat surface to me, didn't have those dents that seem to show up in your agate finds. I liked that black with graph paper look. Sorry, do know technical terms bug love your geology. How do agates form again?
Not that it matters but I'm curious is the much monetary value to the agate? I have no idea hahha great video looks like a huge amount of fun
Macro lens for close ups? The finer details of your finds are lost to this point
Possibly a good idea. Still photos might also allow higher resolution...
Wow Kate! That’s humongous 😁
Wow this is where if your in good form say good for you kate. Well I am not in good form I am jealous but have fun not cutting it
chooch a stovepipe out there at night with a frigsake on your antler so you can hootenanny the peepers on to em, but watch out
LOL, I have no idea what that means - but thanks for watching! :D
@@KatyDidRocks blacklight so you can see them with your eyeballs
at least i am not the only rock nut ase
If only these Rocks could talk lols and I always say same thing about 400 year old tree’s
That’s an absolute CHONKER
True story!
@@KatyDidRocks gorgeous agates you guys have out there!
Bãi đá rộng lớn mênh mông trong đó có nhiều viên đá thật là đẹp tuyệt vời
Oh man what a whopper!
Looks like a big eggplant 🍆
Bet it slabs really great! Nice one!
Thanks!
I would cut that 14lb'er before the end of the DAY. I couldn't wait that long to see what was inside of it. I'd square the bottom, then cut faceted faces on it, 90deg from the bottom, one at a time, until something cool showed, then polish the faces. I need to get back to MT....
It looks like a watermelon!
Awesome finds.
