- Fire agates are an amazing gemstone. Beautiful colors in the "Fire" @ThatCampingCouple took me out on an adventure deep in the Arizona desert looking for the beautiful Fire Agates the area is known for. And I was not disappointed.

To those who care, hello and I hope you have a good day! 👋❤
Hello again this week :) Cheers from Ontario Canada
Thanks! Same to you. 🌻😊
Thanks. Great day to you also mate
@@Reglabbe Brampton here
@@joeblows6359 Nice!! great to meet fellow locals interested in the hobby ;) Welcome and Thank you for coming out to the premier today!!
I found some when I lived near Duncan.
Dan....would you spend an episode with discussions/pics/vids of the various "day-use mines" around the country? Like the diamond mining episode in Ark.
Just a quick "Dan's top 20 Places to take your kids to dig" for various gems for a few hours.
I grew up in Arizona exploring the desert. I go back every summer during my vacation and explore my favorite fire agate, turquoise, and petrified wood spots out in the middle of nowhere. I absolutely love the Arizona desert and all the treasures it holds.
I loved sunrise or sunset to find them after a good rain. You see white everywhere and as the sun rises or sets they start glowing red. Neat little trick.
and it's been raining like crazy out here
I love watching this guys content but sometimes I get really jealous that he can go out and find gold, Gems actual treasure and I struggle just to find my car keys
Maybe a fire agate keyring would help to find them faster?
LoL I know right
@The Scourge Tootles? Is that you? 😉
Maybe if you check your pockets you'll find a fire agate.
This comment is the best! 😂
I've never been too into Fire Agates but watching you find them in their natural setting has changed my mind. Completely. Thanks Dan.
Dan wouldn’t look out of place with a long, grey, floppy point to the top of his hat… he IS pretty much the Gandalf of Geology around these parts.. 😉👍

Dan - the US Postal Service has a "Priority Mail Flat Rate" service with three sizes of boxes. You can stuff whatever will fit inside the box and ship it anywhere in the US for a flat rate, up to 70 lbs / 32 kg per box. Costs about USD 21 for the large box. I've used it to ship heavy wood turning blocks back home from Hawaii. So if you have a friend just over the border in the States, you can ship as much as you want there and drive over to pick it up. Just be sure to use reinforced packing tape to wrap the box around all sides and especially the corners. Ask me how I know this.
Heck yeah, Dan!!! 🤘 I found my first piece of fire agate on a Globe camping trip. It was a brisk morning, and I was using the outdoor restroom, squatting as most do, when I saw a curious rock right in front of me. Thank goodness it was NOT behind me... 🤣
Releasing the fire with water!
I have found some beautiful pieces of Fire agate on Saddle Mountain in Arizona.
Thanks for taking me along on your prospecting (virtually) each week!
Dan, Thank you for sharing your adventure and finds. Good stuff ! Arizona is a treasure trove for rock collectors. Take care, eh ?
Congratulations Mr.Hurd🤟🏼🧔🏽♀️🤙🏼
Back in the late 70's and early 80's I got into working fire agate. I found one peacock sample that I cut and traded it to another gem dealer for quite a nice malachite/azurite cab. Love finding the fire.
Wish I had known you were coming to my state, I have a gold reef I could have taken you to when you were at the gem and mineral show.
I found and dug up around 40 lbs of black fulgurite when i lived in Arizona! The hole was big and deep enough that my arm fit in past my elbow! I'm going to send you pictures soon!
There is good gold in the mountains of Idaho. If you ever come here, I recommend going to Featherville.
You found some real treasures, Dan! Gorgeous stones... Wish I could travel out there and go for a little hike to find some of my own.
Frank and Kyndall are pretty lucky as couples go--that they are both so into the same things enough to travel the continent together full-time pursuing those interests is really great. How do I get a Kyndall of my very own? :) :)
in the Sacramento valley in Arizona you can find fire agate, gold and turquoise
You and Pauly have the best adventures! I am so glad I met you and Dana at a fair before Covid. You had the most beautiful jewelry and display. Following your channel and then seeing Pauly on it and following him, has given me years of arm chair adventure. Thank you.
You could mail yourself the rocks. I love your videos Dan!
Welcome to AZ Dan! There's tons of beautiful stones to find. Just remember to leave a little something to give thanks. ❤ Hopefully, you'll get to enjoy a little warmth while you're here.
*Hey Dan I'm from Arizona and also named Dan, I love your videos and I would love to meet you one day.*
This channel is so much fun. I have wanted to go looking for gold, gems or metal ore for 20 years but never had an opportunity. This is a fun channel to watch, but it also gets me wanting to go out and look for myself.
Dan could you do a few videos on how to get Started in prospecting? Or suggest a Discord or Reddit for us who want to follow in your footsteps?
Keep it up!
one of my favorite gemstone
That was FUN!!
Thank you 🤗
Hi from Germany. I love watching your videos
My Grandpa would of loved your channel. ❤

The “Burro Mud Agate”
💩 😂
Love what you do in the states. Roll out the red carpet for Dan in Arizona.
Lovely to see you joining that camping couple!! I wish they would make some more videos!! Good to see you too 😂
Favourite episode by far, only because fire agates are my favourite stones! 😂 Cheers Dan!
Makes me laugh thinking about how heavy your bags were going back home. lol Ooo! A piece of fire! Ooo! Another piece fire!
I am addicted to watching Dan Hurd videos. He's amazing and such a great guy 😊❤. I've actually learnt so much from him and never expected to! Keep up the great work Dan. X
You found some beauties!!!
A very large location, perfect for adventurers looking for gemstones and agate, this is the ideal place, good luck 👌👍👍
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
I love That Camping couple!
Beautiful stones for sure Dan..
Glad you're having fun whilst here in the states..
Frank watering a catus!😂😂😅🤣🤣😅
Been watching you for quite a while now.
Good morning and thank you Dan!
I know exactly where you are! I've gotta go back down there to go rockhounding!
Hello, here, my friend is great 👍
Come to Oregon Dan 😊 we will find lots of different agates
How did you like Arizona? It’s my home state and I love it here!
Good prospecting
Hey Dan, not sure what part of AZ you're in but I spent a bit of time crossing the nation, and when I was in AZ , I found a ton of that stuff.
The most beautiful ones ,to me, had burgundy so dark it was almost purple and the fire part was what I'd call orangy. You made me go pull a piece out lol 😉
Soooo... Yeah,I was around Sedona when I kept finding that stuff .
Good luck 👍
Cool! Are these fire agates also called chalcedony?
I collected a half-full bucket of these and haven’t done much with them since.
Since I don’t have a saw, I like to tumble my fire agates. Keep our agate fields a secret! 🙈✌🏼Thanks!
Those are awesome 😎👍
Good video...I love the location.
Into is sick
Hey it's my neck of the woods, next time jump over the border into NM and get some sunstones!
Dan! Thank-you for the Badge.
Dan,
WE don't have hardly any agates here in Ferndale/Bellingham, so
I am very JEALOUS:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Those are amazing fire I love fire agate
This is going to be another great video from Dan
excelente video amigo gracias por compartir un abrazo desde Colombia
Great video!! Mr Hurd, Sir, you are hilarious 🤣 🤣🤣
Looks like fun what a great spot
Love the Color WoW . SKK .
I love these videos! I leaen so much!
There are black widows and rattlesnakes in your own backyard, Dan,🤣
Let's see them polished
How exciting! I used to spend a lot of time hunting and finding fire agate! I have a few tricks :)
Do tell I live in Lake Havasu, AZ
@@jackpotjim4040 oatman. Look for dark, burnt, areas that stretch out like fingers of lava. Between hwy 95 and oatman. Also, the hills in sitgreaves pass.
been out to round mountain, you have to get to it from new Mexico.
I love that site and the other BLM rockhounding site in far eastern Arizona. Both locations have been picked over pretty good so you have to take the "hard roads". If you want to see how to polish those to catch the fire, there is a guy here, Fire Agate Mark who does the best videos on the techniques used.
Awesome rock hounding
good finding fire agate ❤
ผมมีพบเป็นจํานวนมากครับเพชรแท้ครับหรือเพชรแฟนซีที่หายากมากครับผมมีอยู่ห้าร้อยกิโลกรัมได้ครับประเทศไทย
Franks trying to drive me over hhaha
Fire , FIre, FIRE !!! ❤🔥🔥❤🔥🔥
Spectacular 😊
Enjoyed another great video Dan. You sure have some very nice friends. TY
enjoyed the video some good finds enjoyed watching and seeing the agates
Always look forward to seeing your content. Keep up the good work.
The over flowing pockets hAh
Seeing the panoramic shots, of y'all walking around eye's down, reminds me of Me!
Anywhere our family went and where I go, I'm looking for those stand out, catch the eye specimens! The only time I look for any general type, is because that's the reason I am there!
Lol go home with suitcase of rocks, was out there last Nov, went home with a bag of white sage. And shipped myself a small package as well.
I like the blue one
Beautiful ❤️❤️
That one was sick
I hope you do some videos on cutting and polishing them !
Looks a lot like an area I often go to in Southeast AZ.
How fun 👍
Nice vid , until the next one ;)
Awesome video watched from begging to end :)
That was fun!
Your down my way (for the winter) Quesnel in the summer. On the Fraser
Maybe in a month you can clip in Polish taggart's after you've worked on them?
Glad you had fun while you were here! How'd you like the wind? It's kind of a constant here lolz.
Emerald Phoenix you found it!!!
Nice agates
Those are so beautiful!
The hot air balloon fire ag got so cool
Amazing stuff!
Fun hunt Dan. Kynndel sounds like the girl on Northern Mudlarks.
