    I have been a rockhound since I could walk 40+ years ago. I do have quite a collection of all different kinds of keepers. I am absolutely floored by the unbelievable beauty there along the Yellowstone river. So many magnificent treasures that are just absolutely to die for. I would be embarrassed to share my collection along side those beauties. All my years of hounding and those are ALL keepers IMO. They are all so amazing they would definitely put my collection to shame. Makes me look like a hounding pup compared to your findings. I absolutely appreciate your videos and every bit of nature you share. I dream that on day I could spend time there in that neck of the woods and I'd be in heaven for sure. Is probably never want to leave. So many jumbo grand daddies it just floors me. Thank you so very much for bringing me along. I truly appreciate all the beauty and goodness of the nature you share.

      It's comments like yours that remind me of how good I've had it in Mt. I couldn't agree with you more as the typical keeper off the BOTTOM of the eastern Yellowstoned River is usually a ten pounder. Blessed

    You are allays so pleasant, kind and happy! I love going with you on your hunts. You include beautiful flowers and birds....and Kip! Great dog! The agates and petrified wood (and Jasper) are so magnificent! If I were younger and closer I'd love to hunt rocks with you on the Yellowstone River. You make my day with your videos!

    I appreciate how you incorporate Kip in the hunt! I bring my dog on my rockhounding excursions. It's always so nice to just get out and walk around with your best bud! She enjoys it just as much as I do. Keep up the fantastic videos!

    What a beautiful place to spend a good time, and the nice music in the video makes it even more peaceful. All the rocks were nice but the colorful jasper was more fascinating.

    Rock hunting has got to be the most relaxing hobby. I've hunted rocks for 50+ years. When I watch you, I can tell you have a genuine love of rocks! Only true rockhounds understand how enjoyable it really is!😊

    I'm glad to see another dog who loves to retrieve rocks. I knew a guy who's dog would retrieve rocks from under water and find the right one but if the rock was to big for his mouth he would go backwards and paw it with his front legs. Keep up the great videos.

    I thoroughly enjoy your videos, not only for your easy-going nature, but also for the very nice videography and music. I have some physical limitations lately which have prevented me from rockhounding, so I feel like I can "hunt" vicariously through your adventures. We experienced a house fire last year in April, and our repairs aren't done yet, so amidst the stress I try to find joy wherever I can. Watching the birds in our yard, capturing the gorgeous Indiana sunsets, and admiring rocks on the internet have helped me more than words can express. Thanks for helping me navigate this nightmare.
