Back with its owners. So we left him at the local store because they said they had seen the doggo before and that the owners were in the area. The owners saw the pup that afternoon and took him home. He had been missing for a couple of days!
that dog is what you would call a rockhound. had to throw in my lame dad joke lol. Just found your channel, its really awesome! thanks for being so kind to the dog, he seemed like a good pup :)
Man, your videos are so much fun looking I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to take the family out hunting. We went up north to our cabin, checked out a small beach where a few weeks ago we found some different quartz. But it was already picked over. We followed the train track back to our cabin and Holy crap found a bunch of different jasper. We also found some golf ball size quartz and some chert. So much fun hunting with my wife and kids, it started raining on us and it made it easier to see the rocks. I found this crazy green rock, so bold in color with yellowish oh most like webbing mixed in it, super cool. Thanks to your videos I kind of had an idea what to look for. Still in the early stages, but I will get there soon! This video was awesome by the way way better find then I did, but one day I hope to pull out big ass agates and other beautiful rocks out of the creek/river. The dog was super cool in this video as well. Keep up the awesome work!
Heyyyy! So good news is that his forever family lived about 100 meters from the shop that tied him up and said he had gotten out about 3 days before. They were super grateful. Seriously so happy we found his home for him again. 😁👍
Oh he was just too cool, and I thought he’d run away instantly back home but he was content spending the morning with us. A very cool experience indeed. He found his family in the end also. So great news there! 😁
Rock hounding is a beautiful addiction. There's something special about harvesting fat hunks of glimmering quartz and other curiosities from gurgling stream beds that no one would have ever seen if not for you.
It’s just the best isn’t it, I love that feeling as you head out to your favourite spot and you’re not sure what’s gonna happen but that it’s gonna be a great day! Have an awesome weekend my friend and happy hounding!!!!!
Well put. The addiction part is also a great way to get people out into the wilderness again, which is always the real treasure no matter what you're doing in it. We've lost that, and it's bad for everyone because man was born there and was never really meant to leave. He was given heaven and everything he needed to enrich his soul, and he traded it for a gizmo with lights in it that causes cancer in laboratory animals and a factory hardhat. He's been miserable ever since, and when he hangs that hardhat on the nail at the end of the day, he has the audacity to look for heaven in the sky. Thoreau said "simplicity, simplicity, simplicity", and he was right. Me, I just say "go rock hounding".
I absolutely love the positive vibes from y'all. Positively infectious! Would be a super hoot to hound around with. Thanks for the post and keep the content coming! Peace and freedom from so-cal😎👍
I'm a rock hound myself and I just discovered you guys . Rock hunting is so addicting . Started 30 years ago and on my way to the mountains in 3 days . Can hardly wait . That's where I find my most beautiful ones.
I wish I had friends like you guys here , you guys just focus on those rocks! No one I know cares about rocks as much as I do and we live near a volcanic area from millions of years ago and peridot is everywhere in the desert! They are beautiful crystals of olivine and horneblend. Not everyone shares my enthusiasm about rocks. But the nice thing is on my birthday instead of getting me gifts they will bring me beautiful rocks they found and I am so gratefull for that. Love your rock videos! I love watching you guys look for rocks.
Oh that’s so true isn’t it, I am always trying to convince my friends of how great the hobby is, I’m just lucky that Benny loved it as much as me when I first showed him 😊 Thank you for your beautiful comment!
Crystal and Robert Dominguez where do you live? I love peridot. I live in Salt Lake and there is supposedly a great deal of peridot near me, somewhere.
That blue rock in the beginning was gorgeous but that dog was definitely a rockhound. You found some really awesome rocks on this adventure. Thanks so much for sharing.
That’s a good question, but I can’t honestly say. It’s probably not a stone that has a carat worth that is the same for each piece like a diamond does. It’s more about what can be done with it and the quality of the stone as in if it’s fractured or unique. But it’s definitely a great question. I think I’m gonna have to look into it a bit more. @Casper Rah
Oh thank you, and the best news was that we went past a month later and the shop keeper told us that the owner of the dog basically lived a few doors down ha! So we found his family!
I was in a hurry watching this last night but dayum... this puts some perspective on what I’m finding in the desert. Yours are bluer and oranger and bigger. I’m in California living on an old stagecoach trail. 👋🏽🤠🌵🌾 love your enthusiasm, I can’t go anywhere without hounding anymore. It IS addiction in the best way. ❤️🥰❤️
Haha! I’m so the same, I open the car door on a gravel parking lot and I could take days to get to the entrance 🤣 Yeah we get spoilt out here for material. It also is that spot in particular, it has some really rich colours to it. 😁👍 Happy hounding mate!
Oh it’s honestly one of my favourite videos this one. It was a funny old day out there. And the dog got to his owners as well which just made us super happy!
Wish I had a friend like these two are! I'm always picking up interesting bits of rock in our gravel roads. Most of it's glacial till. Golf balls and smaller. Great day of being out doing what you love. You two have inspired me to load my little rock tumbler again today. Thanks and cheers
The dog is so adorable !! You got some nice find there awesome when you get some of them cut I would love to see it ..thanks hope you have a wonderful day.
I just love watching you guys hunt for rocks, the whole time Im watching, Im thinking I wouldnt have left the 1st spot...there was so much there. I loved the dog also, he looked so sweet. Thanks for sharing!
Haha! I think that a lot myself too, about leaving one spot haha! Thank for the kind comment, and you’ll be happy to know the owners of the dog lived right near the shop and saw him that day. I felt so good knowing he found his family!
Hey! Thank you, I consider us lucky to have found both. Right place at the right time. He’s was a lovely buddy to head hang out with for the morning. A true rockhound.
I love that agate that looked like a half-eaten mochi! they are all incredible pieces. I wish I could go there in your location. Your rock adventure is so cool! I did some rock hounding 2 weeks ago in a beach, northern Philippines, i only found some agate and chalcedony chips, but I'm, proud of them :)
Day Off Mama Yeah I loved that piece, it’s really pretty. That’s awesome you were able to find some, it’s so much fun! Happy hounding and rock times!!!!!
Yeah he was a sweet little dude. His family found him that day as well. He escaped a couple days before we saw him and lived right near the shop we left him at. It made me so happy to know he found his family!
Hi guys. It looks so beautiful there. thanks for sharing, maybe one day I might get there. I have never found agates in creeks like that, only on dry dirt, but same thing. love your dog.💜💜💜💜💚💚💚💚
Thank you Judith, it definitely is one of my favourite spots, and pastimes too haha! Very lucky to have the geographical locations near us here in south east Queensland. 😁😁😁
Oh gosh why did I say bill??? So sorry Olivia! I wasn’t sure you were asking sorry. Best way is to google places in your area and rock collecting or mineral collecting. Also just exploring and looking down sometimes. But joining a gem club or lapidary club in your local area would be best. I hope this helps.
Of course I made it to the end. Lol. Those creeks are full of wonder. I would like to see more of the big rocks ( not boulders). Nonetheless, thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it.
Ruby D Haha! I wondered if anyone would see that 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you Ruby! Oh I know, I’m gonna head back out there soon, I want to see if I can find some bigger guys. Fingers crossed 😁
Absolutely LOVE that you included the doggie rescue in this video! I think that dog was meant to be your dog lol. Wherever you are sure is a gem lovers paradise! I so wish I had more time and money to do nothing but travel the world doing this very thing!
You look like a more robust version of that dude that played the joker! That pupper is a rockhound, just like my mom's dog. I love seeing more rockhounding vids pop up, fills the void on days where I'm too busy to hound or the weather is too shit. Although, I hope this hobby doesn't become too popular. That would mean less treasure for me.
Haha! Other people hav actually said that before. Man he was a legend. Very sad. Thanks for enjoying the vids! I have to agree with you though, selfishly I hope it doesn’t get too popular 🤣😂🤣
I really enjoy these treasure hunts. I love these stones you share with us. Sometimes, though, while you're examining one piece closely, i'll spot another on shoal. Like something green at 700. May just have been a leaf. Still drives me crazy 'i can't reach out and pick it up. Ah well, the one that got away. Thanks all the same for the fun.
Oh man I know exactly what you are talking about. I get the same thing happening when I watch others videos. It always happens hahaha! At the same time I’m sure there’s plenty that we walk straight over the top of 😣🤣
lizzymoore54 Hey Lizzy, thank you 😁 yeah he was just an awesome little rockhound buddy. The people at the shop were lovely about it and said they think they knew where he was from, so hopefully they found him his family.
What a beautiful area you're in. Awesome finds! I have some excellent intact chalcedony nodules from the desert of Southern California. I hope to make at least one trip to hunt again this winter. Which is the only time it's possible out here.
Hey bud! Yeah it’s such a beautiful area out here. If i didn’t have to work I’d be out there every day. Oh wow, would love to see them, good luck with the desert hunt in so cal!
Friday again? Dang i'm getting old! Nice sunrise and a great day of finds sir. The freshly stirred and washed gravels sure make spotting glowing goodness easier!👍 Rockhounds meet rockhound, rock dogs are so funny~ Great job getting him out of the creek and hopefully one step closer to home, if I could I'd give you a billion thumbs up for just being a good human being and watching out for those creatures who cannot do everything themselves. Not sure why they call them gravel "beds", I'm too busy searching and digging to lay down but you seem to have some good ones there at that creek with carnelian joy blessing your fossicking bags. Holy smokes cannot tell you how much I love the mixture of minerals you guys are finding in a single location and everytime you pull up a big piece on video i'm practically crawling through the screen screaming, "freak I wanna cut that!!!!" There's a place up north in Washington famous for blue agate called Ellensberg blue but ironically, it doesn't come from there, 35 million years ago a river crossed through the nearby mountain range and swept what material they find there down into the valley. It's a fairly difficult/rare find anymore with most of the folks who know of good spots keeping those close held secrets so don't go telling everyone where you are getting that luxurious blue treasure. Think it's time for you to head upstream and find the source of all that is wondrous and uplifting filling your pockets! Each time you two find another nice specimen is really awesome and gives me the feeling of when I'm out searching even when I'm not, thanks so much for sharing all the tasty treats with us sedentary tubers. (stuffed with turkey from yesterday and would drown out hunting today) PS. Who quits hunting after only 1/2 day? What's that all about, dawn to dusk is the best hunting as you get light at every angle IMO. Tell Benny a crazy tuber from the states is demanding more effort! haha 🤣 Thanks again gentlemen~
Backcountry with Shaughn Haha! Gravel “beds”. That’s a good point man, maybe it’s for when we find amazing massive pieces it’s where we can lay down and catch our breath lol! I watched an information session on those blue agate a while back, so interesting to see how far they travelled from the original source hey. Geology is nuts. Yeah the real life rockhound, what a gentle little soul he is man, I’m gonna stop in next time and see where he ended up. Definitely working our way upstream to where the source hopefully is. We found a spot on the map where it shows no creek, yet there’s one there, so we may start there and work our way down soon. Fingers crossed, you never know with this creek, it’s a moody one if rocks were emotions. If that makes sense haha! Sometimes great others just nothin. Makes it fun though. Oh yeah, haha! When Benny left I thought the same thing but we had our uncle out there with us for his first time to show him how fun it is but he had to head home. It’s so much better with others out there with ya though. Happy thanks giving good sir! Turkey coma’s are real man. Take care bud until next time!
Hello from CANADA! We Gold pan and hound for agate etc too! Really enjoyed this video. Hanging out in rivers is as good as it gets. Love Australia been twice in three years!!! Cheers!
Heyyyyyyyyy there from Australia!!! Thanks for stopping by bud! Hangin our in rivers and creeks is where I recharge and reconnect, isn’t it just the best! Happy hounding and if you ever find yourself back in Australia and on the south east coast of Qld give me a shout, we can take you to some fun and beautiful places for rock finding 😁👍💎
Oh man that means so much! I love your guy’s videos, the last one with the camper made me wish I was there with you guys enjoying the nature. Thank you for what you create man. Seriously love it
I love that you guys are 'local' I get covetous of all the american cool crystal finds, its good to know there is treasure here at home too! Thanks for the uploads X
Oh my goodness! I love you guys! Come save me and take me rock hounding. I'll take you if you take me. ;) i'm located in the USA right on the ancient Montezuma glacial floodplain. Some prime rocking for sure. But by the looks of it, you've got some prime rocking too. Xo
Thanks bud! I’ve just gotten a tile saw for Christmas this year and have started cutting some just the other day. Will put a video up soon of some of the cuts 👍😁
Would be a great spot for using a three prong steel claw with wooden handle to really dig down into that beautiful gravel. I use a claw sometimes but it is rather small. I also see people use short handled steel rakes which work nice in conjunction with a small 24 inch pointed shovel. Very pretty carnelian, guys. Have fun!!
Woah... a three prong steel claw!? What is this? It sounds amazing! Its Google time!!!!!! Thanks so much Anton, I’ve actually been thinking what would I find if we went below the surface... hmmm, I do believe an experiment is in order!
I don't think I could have given the dog back after he started finding rocks for you. Great video. I'm surprised your friend didn't throw you in the creek after you kept finding all those glowing golf balls.
Another enjoyable video :-) That last egg you found would come up a treat with a wet polisher. No need to cut it. Will send Benny the details of mine in a PM if you like.
Awesome material .. carnelian rocks ! ( pun absolutely intended 😉 ) .. it's very similar to our material in the watersheds of southwest Washington State , carnelian and chalcedony from the ancient precursors of Mount St. Helens
Rob Rabbit Hey brother! Yeah he was seriously loving hangin out with us, and just got into the rock finding like a pro. Still, I reckon he needs to be a bit more selective. Haha! Thanks again for watching buddy!
This was so satisfying!!!!!!! 😍😍🥰 I pick with my sister along the Mississippi River in MN, I think the biggest ones we tend to find at our spot are a lil more than quarter size so these were phenomenal!!!!! 😂😂😂
Where is the dog?
Back with its owners. So we left him at the local store because they said they had seen the doggo before and that the owners were in the area. The owners saw the pup that afternoon and took him home. He had been missing for a couple of days!
@@Rookie_Rockounding Thank you so so much! I,m korean.Constantly cheer you up!
Thank you! God bless you!
I love the rocks but love even more what you guys did for the dog. That dog tried to impress you with his rock finding skills... smart dog. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, we were lucky to find him, but he was such a cool little rockhounding buddy. 😊
Best way to start my day, coffee and the lovely agates! You are the only person that I'm not jealous of when you find those magnificent stones!
that dog is what you would call a rockhound. had to throw in my lame dad joke lol. Just found your channel, its really awesome! thanks for being so kind to the dog, he seemed like a good pup :)
Aye! Dad jokes are the best mate! Haha! Thank you so much Mitch, I’m really glad you enjoy the videos. 😁

The doggo was thanking you for helping him by finding rocks for you! I hope you thanked him! And I hope he finds his forever home. Great rockhound!
Heyyyy! So good news is that his forever family lived about 100 meters from the shop that tied him up and said he had gotten out about 3 days before. They were super grateful. Seriously so happy we found his home for him again. 😁👍
@@Rookie_Rockounding , I so glad the puppy is home, I hope that his owner get him some tags.
I love how you can see the dog in most of the close ups! He just loved you 😊
Oh he was just too cool, and I thought he’d run away instantly back home but he was content spending the morning with us. A very cool experience indeed. He found his family in the end also. So great news there! 😁

@@Rookie_Rockounding what state are you finding these at.
Do you make money from the rocks you find
That pup was rockhounding too!!! He was you spirit animal ;) good luck puppy♡♡♡
Yeah he was so cool. And he ended up back with his family too which was such a good outcome 😁🐺
That dog would have made a great pet. He seemed like he was a natural rock hound. Glad you rescued him.
The dog was rockhounding too!
Awesome video!
He was totally a legitimate rockhound for sure! Thank you 😊

Such a silly boy! I loved meeting him though, just a really cool character 😁
This location is in Australia, in the beautiful south east Queensland. Sorry, I always forget to mention where we are. 😁
Do you guys go up creak to the source, you might find bigger stones, I would love to have a dark blue CalSed to cab! I am on Google Hangouts
We are planning on heading upstream about a km on this Sunday. Fingers crossed we find the source 😁😁😁
With respect... what is this stone worth per carat?
That’s a good question, but I can’t honestly say. It’s probably not a stone that has a carat worth that is the same for each piece like a diamond does. It’s more about what can be done with it and the quality of the stone as in if it’s fractured or unique. But it’s definitely a great question.

Incredible finds! What a great spot!
Thank you Britt! It’s such a beautiful spot indeed 👌
The dog is so adorable !! You got some nice find there awesome when you get some of them cut I would love to see it ..thanks hope you have a wonderful day.
Thank you Gemma! All round that day was just a great time, the dog, the rocks and the nature with mates, always goo times! 😁👌👍
Just found your Channel. You should come up to Minnesota, we're right in that Lake Superior glacial flow! We find some sick red ones up here
I have lost count watching this video. amazing finds!

Thank you! Some pretty ones out there that day 😊
I just love watching you guys hunt for rocks, the whole time Im watching, Im thinking I wouldnt have left the 1st spot...there was so much there. I loved the dog also, he looked so sweet. Thanks for sharing!

Thank for the kind comment, and you’ll be happy to know the owners of the dog lived right near the shop and saw him that day. I felt so good knowing he found his family!

Nothing like going rockhounding with an animal tagging along. My cat used to follow me and the wife while looking for calcite, good times.
Right on

Imagine all that might be buried an inch under the soil.
I mean, a centimeter or two.
Thank you this was fun
You got some great stuff to play in down there..Great Vid
Cheers brother!
Rockhound, perfect name for the dog! He seemed to be a bit of good luck for your first hunt. Pray his owners find him. Lovely finds, as usual guys!

Hey Lizzy, thank you 😁 yeah he was just an awesome little rockhound buddy. The people at the shop were lovely about it and said they think they knew where he was from, so hopefully they found him his family.
wow! watching from philippines. thsnks!
😁😁😁👍👍👍
What a beautiful area you're in. Awesome finds! I have some excellent intact chalcedony nodules from the desert of Southern California. I hope to make at least one trip to hunt again this winter. Which is the only time it's possible out here.
Hey bud! Yeah it’s such a beautiful area out here. If i didn’t have to work I’d be out there every day. Oh wow, would love to see them, good luck with the desert hunt in so cal!
Friday again? Dang i'm getting old! Nice sunrise and a great day of finds sir. The freshly stirred and washed gravels sure make spotting glowing goodness easier!👍 Rockhounds meet rockhound, rock dogs are so funny~ Great job getting him out of the creek and hopefully one step closer to home, if I could I'd give you a billion thumbs up for just being a good human being and watching out for those creatures who cannot do everything themselves. Not sure why they call them gravel "beds", I'm too busy searching and digging to lay down but you seem to have some good ones there at that creek with carnelian joy blessing your fossicking bags. Holy smokes cannot tell you how much I love the mixture of minerals you guys are finding in a single location and everytime you pull up a big piece on video i'm practically crawling through the screen screaming, "freak I wanna cut that!!!!" There's a place up north in Washington famous for blue agate called Ellensberg blue but ironically, it doesn't come from there, 35 million years ago a river crossed through the nearby mountain range and swept what material they find there down into the valley. It's a fairly difficult/rare find anymore with most of the folks who know of good spots keeping those close held secrets so don't go telling everyone where you are getting that luxurious blue treasure. Think it's time for you to head upstream and find the source of all that is wondrous and uplifting filling your pockets!
Each time you two find another nice specimen is really awesome and gives me the feeling of when I'm out searching even when I'm not, thanks so much for sharing all the tasty treats with us sedentary tubers. (stuffed with turkey from yesterday and would drown out hunting today)
PS. Who quits hunting after only 1/2 day? What's that all about, dawn to dusk is the best hunting as you get light at every angle IMO. Tell Benny a crazy tuber from the states is demanding more effort! haha 🤣 Thanks again gentlemen~

Haha! Gravel “beds”. That’s a good point man, maybe it’s for when we find amazing massive pieces it’s where we can lay down and catch our breath lol!
I watched an information session on those blue agate a while back, so interesting to see how far they travelled from the original source hey. Geology is nuts.
Yeah the real life rockhound, what a gentle little soul he is man, I’m gonna stop in next time and see where he ended up.
Definitely working our way upstream to where the source hopefully is. We found a spot on the map where it shows no creek, yet there’s one there, so we may start there and work our way down soon. Fingers crossed, you never know with this creek, it’s a moody one if rocks were emotions. If that makes sense haha! Sometimes great others just nothin. Makes it fun though.
Oh yeah, haha! When Benny left I thought the same thing but we had our uncle out there with us for his first time to show him how fun it is but he had to head home. It’s so much better with others out there with ya though.
Happy thanks giving good sir! Turkey coma’s are real man.
Take care bud until next time!
You found a great mascot, a true rock hound!😂
Hello from CANADA! We Gold pan and hound for agate etc too! Really enjoyed this video. Hanging out in rivers is as good as it gets.
Love Australia been twice in three years!!! Cheers!
Heyyyyyyyyy there from Australia!!! Thanks for stopping by bud! Hangin our in rivers and creeks is where I recharge and reconnect, isn’t it just the best!
Happy hounding and if you ever find yourself back in Australia and on the south east coast of Qld give me a shout, we can take you to some fun and beautiful places for rock finding 😁👍💎
Even the dog is a rock hound .🐕 He does seem to be a expert . 😎
Hahaha! Yeah he’s just not very selective about what he keeps hahaha!
Enjoyed the hunt thanks for sharing....
Oh man that means so much! I love your guy’s videos, the last one with the camper made me wish I was there with you guys enjoying the nature. Thank you for what you create man. Seriously love it
@@Rookie_Rockounding We watch all your stuff and thanks! Rock hounding is my other passion.
That is so cool! Thank you bud! So so much!!!!
Verrry pretty!It would be cool to get a tile saw to slice and polish some of your finds!
Hey Debbie, thank you, yeah I’m hoping in the new year to get a tile saw and start trying out my cutting skills... 🤞🤞🤞
I m so happy you found him :)
Awesome finds
Que lugar incrível!!! quantas pedras legal!!! like
É um lugar bonito! obrigado!
Sy e Miguel bom dia m vc também esta aqui kkkke legal mesmo aqui e o japa
Oh my gosh....I was holding my carnelian and you picked one up! So cool! How beautiful it is there! Y’all are so lucky! That place is heaven!
Haha! Awesome! It’s so beautiful, I could spend days on end out there. I agree, very lucky 😁
I love that you guys are 'local' I get covetous of all the american cool crystal finds, its good to know there is treasure here at home too! Thanks for the uploads X
Oh I know exactly what you mean though! The American crystals look amazing right!
I’m glad you enjoy the uploads Lou 😁
Hello from Slovakia, i like your videos :)
Marcela Slovakia
Hey! Thank you very much 😁
Aww I love agates and chalcedony!!! thank you for this video!
Naw thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁
Oh my goodness! I love you guys! Come save me and take me rock hounding. I'll take you if you take me. ;) i'm located in the USA right on the ancient Montezuma glacial floodplain. Some prime rocking for sure. But by the looks of it, you've got some prime rocking too. Xo
Hahaha! Thank you Kristen! That sounds like some beautiful rocks could be found there. 😁👍
nice jasper you're finding and courts :)
Thank you 😊👍
@@Rookie_Rockounding thanks you for your video i look for rock in az
Cool finds!
I'd love to see some with a cut or two and/or polished up!
Thanks bud! I’ve just gotten a tile saw for Christmas this year and have started cutting some just the other day. Will put a video up soon of some of the cuts 👍😁
Would be a great spot for using a three prong steel claw with wooden handle to really dig down into that beautiful gravel. I use a claw sometimes but it is rather small. I also see people use short handled steel rakes which work nice in conjunction with a small 24 inch pointed shovel. Very pretty carnelian, guys. Have fun!!
Woah... a three prong steel claw!? What is this? It sounds amazing! Its Google time!!!!!!
Thanks so much Anton, I’ve actually been thinking what would I find if we went below the surface... hmmm, I do believe an experiment is in order!
congratulation, beautiful stones
Thank you Very much 😁
I don't think I could have given the dog back after he started finding rocks for you. Great video. I'm surprised your friend didn't throw you in the creek after you kept finding all those glowing golf balls.
Another enjoyable video :-) That last egg you found would come up a treat with a wet polisher. No need to cut it. Will send Benny the details of mine in a PM if you like.
Hey Michael! A wet polisher, okay that would be awesome, thank you Michael! And thanks for watching mate 👍
Thank you for sharing 😃
Some nice finds, gentlemen. Wish I was there.
tleav61
Thank you very much t 😊👍
Definitely cut up that last one you found and tumble it✅👍👍👍
Awesome material .. carnelian rocks ! ( pun absolutely intended 😉 )
.. it's very similar to our material in the watersheds of southwest Washington State , carnelian and chalcedony from the ancient precursors of Mount St. Helens
Thanks bo! Haha! Gotta love the rock puns. Wow chalcedony from Mount St. Helens. I love the history of these rocks man. So interesting. Thanks buddy
Newest member of your team Rockhound the Kelpie😆 He seemed to be loving hanging out with you guys.Awesome vid bro and sweet finds once again 👍👍
Rob Rabbit
Hey brother! Yeah he was seriously loving hangin out with us, and just got into the rock finding like a pro. Still, I reckon he needs to be a bit more selective. Haha!
Thanks again for watching buddy!
Nice to see you guys hunting..awesome finds man!..thought was the only one ..ha .greetings from Missouri finding a lot of sweet finds
Thanks mate! A massive greetings from Australia 😁👍
that lovely
This was so satisfying!!!!!!! 😍😍🥰 I pick with my sister along the Mississippi River in MN, I think the biggest ones we tend to find at our spot are a lil more than quarter size so these were phenomenal!!!!! 😂😂😂
Thank you so much Maggie! Happy hounding to you and your sister!!!!!
Whereabouts do you look? I live right on the Mississippi but also go along the St Croix!
