    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 🥰

    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!!!

    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.

    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?

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  Рік тому +1

      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

I liked that black with graph paper look. Sorry, do know technical terms bug love your geology. How do agates form again?
