- Hunting for the all allusive Iris Agate can be a test for any rockhound, you just never know until you cut and polish them, if you’ve caught a rainbow.
Special thanks to Theo Kellison for all his help!

Duuude oh no! Drone down! Im so sorry about that man that totally sucks! You handled that with much more poise than i would have been able to😂 what a good hunt though man! Those were some serious beauties and i can not wait to see how they turn out😁 theres gotta be some color in some of those! Awesome video as always brother!
Y'all are such a joy to watch. You are so smart to collab with the other finders. It really shows the humility and love that you have for others. I can't thank you enough. 👍
Oh dude theo! Man I basically filmed this for you haha! I was like, “okay before I cut and polish an iris agate from theo, I’m gonna try and find one and show the two together…” I think IF I found one, reguardless, your piece you sent me is out of control and would be arrested if rainbow magic was illegal! Honestly! It’s gawgeous! And dude, seriously, take a second, I wouldn’t have made this video if it weren’t for how much work you put in to investigate iris agates and also to share it with everyone else. Thank you brother. I really do mean that!
Jesse man, sorry you lost your drone, way to stay positive man! I look up to you and Theo, both of you are great people. Looking forward to seeing these cut open, thank you sir!
Nicholas mate thank you so much dude. I’m just gonna say something I learnt from the playground, takes one to know one 🤪 thank you legend!
"Chasing Rainbows" 🌈...Nothing but love for you Rookie 😍😉
Aw thank you and mega much love right back at you! I hope you guys are keeping well 😊😊😊🌈🦄
Go Jesse and Go Theo too... I love the love and experiences you share, both of you are fabulous humans 💜
I luv those Iris Agates too. Lucky you got that Rockhounding session in, before the floods. Poor old Rh123 she must have had the water gushing under n past her place, I know I was landlocked for a few days! Grateful tho..such gut wrenching scenes all round, spreading across 2states, unbelievable! Hope you n yours didn't suffer any devistation!
Look forward to part 2👍
Oh Katherine I’m so happy you guys were as okay as possible. We were absolutely fine, we’re in upper coomera and the coomera river didn’t rise as much as those out your way. Absolutely gut wrenching. We’re heading down south tomorrow with Pauly but it’s going to be interesting to say the least. They copped it hard down there also. Very hard times for so many right now. Sending love!!!
I do believe that is the nicest video ending I've ever seen..."Chasing Rainbows" ought to be the name of a rock shop! 😁🇨🇦😁
iconic rockhound legends supporting eachother, love it!!
You always make me smile and I have learned so much from you, thank you for being you 🔵✨✨✨
Hey Man! Love seeing your face again. Wow, that was a challenging day. Love your positivity. Great video! Thanks for that.
Seeing a new video from you makes me so happy! I’m sorry you lost your drone, though. Can’t wait to see your finds cut!
And see Dana, it for that reason that I don’t actually mind that much haha! It is what it is and it’s all part of making and sharing. Thank you!!!!
“Nodules from basalt” yes, thank you. That one quote opened my eyes wide and confirmed my thought on a tip where to search. Recently at Picket Post in Superior AZ, Climbing to the basalt bluffs with the doggies, I came upon a bit of nodules. Many of them orbicular conglomerates in a matrix of rhyolite. I called them conglomerates too because they are. So I will continue my search around the bluffs of which there are too many for a life time between Picket Post and Apache Leap and so many more.
Your comment when describing the nodule at 9min sparked a thought. The entire process of the conglomerated nodule obviously involved heat, so how did all those little orbicular nodules wrap up together in a matrix of crucible glass melting, heated rhyolite? It appears to pop a big hole in the vug theory. As it should.
Love your work
Having Theo to show you different things is awesome, he is one my favorites to watch! I have learned a lot from him! But I have learned from you too! Sorry about your drone! Can't wait to see the next video! Thanks for sharing!
Jess!!!! Oh my goodness!!! Bummer brother. But as always your attitude is top notch. Thank you
Thank you for brightening my day with a new video from you. I love watching your adventures and what all you find there. Stay safe whenever you go out.
Thank you Nancy! And the same for you 😊
Can't wait for part two. Lots of good chalcedony to try and find your rainbows. Sorry about your drone, life goes on. You always bring a smile thank you for that. I always feel better after watching your videos. Keep the goodness coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒
Ah yeah, it is what it is hey brother. I was lucky enough to have one in the first place. And dude that really means a lot to know it brings a smile. I never would have imagined I’d be able to do that for other people across the world. It really means a lot dude. Keep well my friend and wishing you and yours goodness and heaps of healthy happy times!!!!! Rock on my mate!
Oh that’s cool. Can’t wait for the next video to see what pretties are revealed. Cheers Jesse.
Cheeeeeeeers Karen! 😁😁😁
The videos you make of hounding bring me such joy and calm. What a paradise. Wonderful finds and eagerly awaiting part two. Iris agate are gorgeous. Mother Nature is truly amazing. Thanks for sharing this incredible adventure. Sending love from Canada
Bugger about the drone Jesse 😬 It that were me I'd have spat the dummy and gone home....good on you for sticking it out 💪
Really enjoyed you chasing rainbows, brother! That one at 10:15 looked very promising. All kinds of tasty little nodules and agatey goodness ya found. Can't wait to see them cut and polished and see if you've had any luck at finding the elusive iris. I never heard of them until Theo showed some. Nice of him to share one. Total bummer about the drone, was waiting for happy ending there. You were pretty composed on camera but off camera I imagine you had a moment, lol.
Anyways, loved the video! Thanks for taking us along. Appreciate ya 😁👍 Rock on!
Theo is also the one that explained the iris agate to me. They ate beautiful!
I didn't know anything about the Iris agates, wow! Sorry about your drone, that really bites but you will rebound!
Cheers harles, yeah I thought “that’s it, no more drones for me… then I saw the footage and was like… okay… maybe just one more… “ one day haha!
Now I have to find some iris agate. I'm sorry about your drone. Happy rock hounding. Can't wait for video 2. ✌&❤
Thank you Susan! And yeah, that was my first thought when I found out it existed, “I want thaaaaaat” haha!
Oh man, the drone thing is frustrating. The Iris will be worth it!!!!!! Right?!!! Beautiful scenery, your videos are always such a visual treat. Pretty Boy 😂 loved your question for the podcast. Oh my goodness, look at the directions from Theo written by hand! So awesome, can't wait to see the next chapter. Thanks for sharing, cheers!
Hahaha! Karen honestly I almost cut that out “ohhh who’s a prrrretty booooooy” but I’m stoked you noticed it. That’s why I asked that question for you guys. It is soooooooooooo normal to anthropomorphize rocks… 😳 haha!
Again mega congrats but also even more mega thanks for what you guys give to us all with the podcast. Seriously. Thank you and just sending big ol love and happy rockness your guys’ way!
I am so sorry about your drone. Your videos are so entertaining and so honest…just the best. I look forward to the cutting. Thank you.
Sorry about the drone ☹️. I hope you got some excellent samples of iris agates. Fun to watch you hound the creeks either way. ~ Anita
Sorry about the drone dude! It is what it is, but it becomes what we make it. I wish you the best on your quest, and I can't wait to see them cut open. After 10 years of rock walking you can hardly call yourself a rookie any longer. Maybe still learning as we all are, but certainly not a rookie!
I can’t believe I missed this vlog release; it only just showed up in my subs! Great adventure and finds.
Oh man, what a great way to start my Friday! Thank you, my friend, for sharing with us another excellent adventure! 👍Sorry about the darn drone, ugh~ I personally get very down on myself for such events but you really took it well brother! I've found that here in Oregon, many agates out of the John Day River, (clear agates with ghosty blue fortification banding) when sliced thin (2-3mm thick) have great potential for iris behavior and have a few beautiful cuts on my shelf, unfortunately without the backlighting no one ever notices them unless I show em.🤦♂Thanks again my friend from afar, hoping you and your family are doing well! Take care~
Shaughn my good sir!!!!!! Man trust me I didn’t let it go as easily as it looked haha! I mean I was okay to walk away but only after laying on the rocks for a couple of minutes and also spending two attempts at finding it over about an hour… but that’s the magic of editing. It was really strange because it happened so early into the hunt, so I had to shake it off to enjoy the rest of the hounding. Otherwise I wouldn’t have found anything else I reckon. I really do think mindset has a lot to do with what you’re able to notice when out in the creek so it was a bit of a test. But ultimately, I was lucky to have a drone while I did in the first place.
And dude I really hope these guys have some rainbow. So far they’re too thick to show (4mm) so I’ve gotta polish them down a bit. But the piece I got from theo is stunning! They’re like secret special agates that only the visitors who ask about them get to enjoy 😉✨ haha!
Mate i Hope you have an awesome couple of weeks and I’ll see you soon for the polish. Cross your fingers and toes dude 😬🤞😬🤪
Jesse! So good to see your smiling face, friend! Loved this hunt and that Theo has you looking for iris agate. I too learned about iris from Theo and look forward to someday getting to cut my agates in the hopes of finding it! The water looked a bit high. You must've been out before the recent flooding. Hope you and yours are well and staying safe. Losing the drone is a downer, but hoping the cut agates make up for it. That last large piece is intriguing! Will be right here in a couple weeks for the next vid! All my best. ❤️❤️
Deeeeee my friend!!!!!! Yeah this was about a month ago and we had had what we thought was some good rains, but woah were we blind to what was coming. It’s been absolutely horrible for those effected. We got lucky in our town but it’s very close to home and just heartbreaking. Aussies are pretty resilient and they team up when these things happen. I reckon all these creeks will have changed dramatically.
I hope you’re keeping well and having a rad weekend! Sending much love!
Sorry that you lost your drone. It’s good to see you again. I hope all is well with you and your family. 🥰
Hi Margie! Thank you so much. We are doing well thank you. And I wish the same for you and your loved ones. 😊
Thanks Jesse your awesome, And I agree Theo does some of the coolest art using rocks and fossils. I love that both of you share such great content for all of us to enjoy. Cheers
Cheers mate yeah he’s a rock wizard and such a nice dude 😁
Maverick, so sorry about the drone! The agates you found were beauties and hopefully they will show Iris Agate….so pretty. Loving Theo too. He’s such a talented young man as are you. 😉☺️🥰
I'm very excited to see the next video! I love Theo and so glad you have his expertise on this beautiful subject! So sorry about your drone!
I’m so jelly if the places you go and the stuff you get
Really beautiful footage and nice editing. Great content too. Love the colabs between you and @TheoKellison Maybe you'll have a drone sponsor in the future? Yes.
Beautiful Iris Agate I'm sorry about your drone hope you go back and find it.
Thank you Mirta!
Pretty place, with the water running on through. Wow great rocks!
Aww sorry about your drone. But you did find some great stones. Let's hope one or more is your rainbow agate.
Great hunt with some nice finds. I've been trying to get out more, but my day job has been picking up, and j's health challenges are making for long drives. I'm a tad jealous of those finds. I'm saving up agates for a BIG lapidary project. It's great to see you developing on camera. You used to be so shy. Your confidence has really come along on camera. Keep making awesome content. Much love from the Oregon Coast D&J
That’s beautiful!!! Have you seen rainbow obsidian?! I can’t wait for the snow to melt so I can get back out there and find some more!!!
Ohhhhhh yeahhhhhhh! Not in real life, but I’ve seen kyle from @world of rock hounds working it and it’s breathtaking!
Gotta love the fancy stuff. 👏👏
Jesse so good to see you mate! Sorry about the drone, but a good excuse to get a new upgrade. Thanks for always putting a smile on my face. And I love that new intro music, I about got up and started dancing. 👍☮️🕺👁️💎🌞🤠🤳
Aye there you go Michael! My dad used to always say “find the blessing in disguise” and dude, his name was Michael also! That’s a little bit rad if I don’t say so myself brother!
Oh also with the new music, I’ve been getting copyright claims on a bunch of videos lately so I’ve paid to join a site that has legitimate copyright free music and that was the first one I found and was like “yes! That’s gotta be an intro song!!!!!” Haha! Thanks again mate for all the love and support bro!
@@Rookie_Rockounding I love that story about your dad. My grandfather was the happiest and most loved guy I had ever known. His name is Melvin and that is my middle name. I always find a silver lining in every challenge that is given to me. My motto is... I am, an Attitude of Gratitude, with a Positive Perspective, Doing the next Right thing, giving all the glory to God. 🙏🌎☮️💞
By the way, with production quality, music, stories about the kids, knowledge of rocks and minerals that you show on your channel, you need to change the channel name to Professional Rockhound.🤠😎👍😂
So sorry about your drone! But man, the surrounding terrain is just beautiful!
I’m down about your drone! So sorry, Jesse! Your attitude is the best! Rock on!🌞
Haha! Naw thanks, I spent a good 45 mins dealing with it and edited it so you didn’t see the tears haha!
Love your channel, Jesse Just found you today and look forward to catching more walks with rocks.. Thanks for the good vibrations!
Hey that’s awesome! Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the videos. Cheers Ann 😊
So sorry about your drone. Theo is awesome.
Yay!!!! Glad you uploaded my friend.
Dom mate! Glad you saw it pop up! 😁👍🥳
Sorry you lost your drone love. Maybe someday you will come across it or someone else might find it. You have such beautiful areas to rockhound in. I would love an adventure like that. I absolutely love watching your videos as well as Theo's. One of these days I will make it to Montana and meet him. Can't wait to see part 2 of this video. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Cheers Donna! Yeah he’s such a genuine guy! I’d love to hound over there to be honest! 😊
That would make for an awesome video. You two crazy guys together hunting.
i wish i have tools like yours❤❤ that i can use for cutting and polishing.... i wish you noticed this... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😥 Philippines area.. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
# i love rock hounding ❤❤❤❤❤
It’s never too late Ace my friend!
@@Rookie_Rockounding God bless.. ❤❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Good to see you back! Some great finds! I learned something new. I’d never heard of iris agates before. Rockhounding season is coming up fast for me. Just waiting for the snow to melt!
Heyyyyy Sue! Yay! Hopefully you’ll be out hounding in no time 🥳🥳🥳
Thank you for a wonderful swich from whats going on in the world
Oh Anne I almost felt bad posting something happy while everything is going on. Hopefully it’s a bit of an escape from horrible times some people are going through.
Hi Jess, another interesting video, thanks for letting us know about these agates, they certainly look amazing when you see the end result.
Loosing the drone is a bummer, as they say s #it happens. Maybe it thought it would look underwater for you, 😉,🤣🤣, Sorry, can’t help myself, I’m an sarcastic as$&ole, Keep Safe & Keep Rockin.
Cicadas are screaming! Dogs love to eat those, it's euphoric for them.
Hahaha! Ah yes, if it’s not the wind it’s the cicadas that mess with audio whenever I film haha! But woah! I didn’t know that about them! Puppy nom noms!
:( Sorry about your drone. I was hoping that you would miraculously find it later in the video. It's great to watch you hunting - we haven't been able to get to the river for a while.
Heyyyyyy Kate!!! Oh I was hoping as well. I actually spent about an hr and then like 20 mins on my way back but had to let it go. It was so weird just leaving haha. Oh I hope you guys get to get out there soon! Imagine all the beauties the new season will bring! Wish I could hound the Yellowstone with you guys!!!!!!
Jesse, im so sorry that things didnt appear to be going your way, but any day rock hounding is a good day! Even if it wasnt what you expected, and you lost your drone, thank you for sharing this with us. I just love how you manage to approach every situation, with such grace and personality. Your outlook on every thing, is a lesson that more of us could learn from. You are a true joy and i love every one of your videos!
So beautiful !
Dang I am sorry you lost your drone. Hope you can find it some time in the near future
Something about the way Australians say "In the Rough" just does it for me...
It’s not in my area but I sent Theo some really cool stuff… hopefully he’ll send me a slice 🤞🤣
Ayyyyy dustin! Yeah I was very lucky to have that little treasure in his package he sent me when we did the video together. It definitely got me thirsty for iris! Haha! Take care my dude!
You always find the most beautiful places to hunt. I wish I could be there to experience them for myself. ❤️
🤗 Seriously Adorable
In case you didn't know, some Iris Agate has to be cut in thinner sections, maybe a little less than a quarter inch. I don't know why, but I have seen a few videos on Iris Agate that say the thickness of the cut influences the amount of color that comes through. Sometimes they can be a quarter inch and have rainbows, sometimes they have to be really thin to see rainbows. Good hunting
Thank you Tyler mate 👍👍👍 yeah I’m thinking the agates I’ve found are going to need to be super thin if they have a chance of rainbowing 🤞🤞🤞
@@Rookie_Rockounding You're welcome man, glad I could help out
Great video my friend!! Thanks for sharing!!
σε ευχαριστώ πολύ φίλε μου πέρα από τον ωκεανό! καλή συλλογή βράχου!!!
@@Rookie_Rockounding Unbelievable, thank you so much for the Greek comment, good additions to your collection!!
That rock at 5:00 has such cool markings on it! Like you said, it would make a great pendant as is. I'm sorry that your drone decided to run away, but you found some great agates and chalcedony without it. Was it quite a warm day there? The water looked nice for cooling off. Thank you for sharing this adventure, take care!
Heyyyy Gwynn! Yeah it was a stinker that day. Just really humid. Pauly and I went out just yesterday and we both ended up in the creek at the end of the day. It was a perfect way to end a hot day of hounding. 😁
@@Rookie_Rockounding Sounds great! It will be around -9°C tonight, freezes the birdbath and dog water! Our time for hot weather will be here soon enough so I shouldn't complain! 😄
Sorry about the drone seems to be a thing with those. Hope your not getting flooded where you are. Well at least you got some nice picks with possibilities of having some Iris.
Thank you Jim mate, look it is what it is and I was lucky to be able to have one anyway 😊
Can’t wait to see if there’s iris in these guys. Still trying to make it happen haha! Take care mate!
Yay , love your videos. I didn't know about iris agates either, thanks
Thank you for sharing 😊💙love learning about rocks 💙😊
enjoyed the adventure once again...👏👊
Awesome 👌 👏 👍
Bj!!!!! Brother!!!! 👊✨
✨ Great find ✨
* So sorry about your Drone.. Hope you find lots of Iris Agates..
Oh rock brother! That is why they never showed me this video when you released it. At least you did not get skunked.
Oh man yeah I still was able to find some beauties. Reckon that drones long gone now after the floods 😭 haha
Show muito bom , parabéns adoro seus vídeos de Pedras.
Obrigado my friend!!!!!
Nice,,, let’s hope there is some rainbow in there. I want to go cut and check the 10kg of Chalcedony I found now 😄😄
Daaamn...that's rough buddy.
Here's hoping this year will bring you a new bird
I’m really sorry you lost your drone. : (
Great rockhounding as usual though.
I’m curious how you slice the smaller pieces you find? I feel like my wet tile saw is going to slice off my fingers if I’m cutting smaller pieces.
Hey mate. So the blade I use doesn’t cut skin making it super easy to cut the rocks and get creative without worrying about your fingers 😬
If your blade has no gaps in it and is smooth the whole way around (other than the roughness of the diamond bits) it should be the same. Let me know how you go 😁
Gutted for you Jesse, losing a drone would be heartbreaking but like you say it is what it is.
Ah man cheers brother. That’s it man. Not much I could do about it. The hardest part was trying to get back into a happy headspace so I could still enjoy the hunt haha! Hope you’re keeping well my brother!
@@Rookie_Rockounding all good here, hope the big wet didn't affect you too much. The upside will be that the creeks will have been turned over heaps.
You must've found the drone since we see the video from it tho, no? Still, hate to have any casualties on a pick! Cheers m8 I'll be back on the internets in a week or so!
Hey dude!!!! No it’s gone. I think it floated away. I had to use the rough footage from my the DJI app on my phone which is meant to be terrible quality (and is compared to the one from the SD card) but it ended up being not too bad if you speed it up, and also, I was hoping most wouldn’t be watching on a big screen tv 🤞🤞🤞😬😬😬 haha! But yeah it’s definitely gone. And that was before the massive floods we’ve just had.
Hope you had a rad day at work brother!
@@Rookie_Rockounding Hey man! Lol, we're following a theme here brotha! I lost my phone in the bush last week! Oh well, I was still rockin the ol flip phone, so gonna upgrade today!
Oh, and it looked good on this end, even on my desktop monitor!
Cheers!
Nice finds! Sucks about the drone though :(
Maybe you will find it when you go back out there?
Oh man to be honest I think it’s up in the tree? But it was on its third or even fourth life already haha! I am the worst drone flyer haha! Cheers Kyle
@@Rookie_Rockounding bright side, at least you got some really good footage! :)
But you handled that really well considering!
saludos desde marina del rey ca. yo teno de esos agates pero no sabia que erairis agate hoy es la primera noche que miro tus vudeos gracias por tomarte el tienpo en subir estos videos
Ok guys.. so in support of the channel that you subscribe to, watch the ads...
They pay for ad time. Let's help Jesse get a new drone.
Have you thought of joining your local/closest Lapidary Club. They have mud maps that you can use, and they usually have a club fossicking license that you can use as well. There's usually always someone who's insightful and knowledgeable that could tell you exactly what to look for and where. Sorry for being a pain. I'm part of my local Lapidary Club in south East Queensland. And thought maybe it might be something you'd be into.
Hey lady Fae! Not a pain at all, I’m a member of the Gold Coast lapidary club 😁 but I haven’t been for a while because I’ve just been super busy. But you’re absolutely right, and they have the best machines to use also haha!
@@Rookie_Rockounding I'm a member of the Beenleigh Lapidary Club, maybe I'll see you at either one of our next gem shows. Lol. Happy rock hounding, and I look forward to your videos in the future.
Your filming style and editing are just amazing. Bummer about the drone. I figured you found it since there had been some drone shots before you lost it. Were those just from what is recorded on your phone? I have never even looked at those videos since I always use the SD card recordings. I thought the quality of the stuff recorded to the phone would be really low.
You have great content as well. It's hard to compete with Jesse's music, he is always spot on with those banging tunes. 👍
@@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm I've opted to go with no music since people like the sounds of the waves in my outdoor videos. That's a tough call, because I agree that music does add to Jesse's videos.
Heya Rob! Man don’t even start, your videos are peaceful pieces of art sharing natures art man. I absolutely love the sound of the lake. It’s a style that suits you I reckon. 😉👍
Yeah so I had to go into the DJI app and then into album I think it’s called. And then save those to my phone. But man the quality is horrible compared to the footage on the SD. That’s why I was so bummed. But it ended up being okay ish. I sped the footage up and it made it less glitchy. I reckon on a tv though you’d notice it. I also made sure I cut out the bits that looked like it was filmed with a flying potato haha!
@@Rookie_Rockounding you crack me up brother, you are so humble and hard on yourself. Y'all are amazing content creators and I absolutely love both of you and your style. Keep on doing what you're doing. Rock on!!! 👍☮️💞
@@Rookie_Rockounding I did watch this on my tv and it looked just fine. No glitches and audio was good! But your videos are always works of art Jesse!
Muy lindo!!
RIP drone!
I want to see the next video .
You look so much like my nephew, you could be twins.
Nice hunt. sorry you also had to hunt for your drone...to no avail😔 I luv the tiny nodules and the lucky muddy grab.
Jesse bro, I really need ur help on identifying this stone/agate I found. I've been doing this for a while now and have never seen something like this. I think you'd be very intrigued as well. Let me know if you read this so we can figure out how to go about letting you take a look at this stone.. thanks man
Hey dude! Man sounds super intriguing! If you have Instagram DM me for sure! Hopefully I’ll be able to help haha 🤞🤞🤞😬😁🤪
Hope you are doing ok buddy 🙏
Thank you harles, we’re doing good ☺️
Firstly my good friend Jesse, what was that rock in front of the chalcedony just before the water find, looked a bit interesting.
Secondly, i'm sorry for your poor old drone, but I think it might have had an identity crisis and identified as a boat, not wanting half measures and becoming amphibious first, which may have been it's downfall.
Finally, Don't dispair, imean after all you are finding those agates that shouldn't even been there, the geographical location of those agates indicates they are thousands of miles from where they were formed, (even allowing for the shift and Australias departure from the civilised world before man existed, which is not at all a contradiction of the word civilised because someone must have been at the helm of the ship A.s.s Tralia) no insult intended.
The actual location for those agates is on my doorstep, quite litterally, Ireland is not that far away but I have never heard of Irish agates before today.
Stay strong, revolution looks like a better option. lol.
Oh my god hahaha! Irish agates! Symon man you always make my day reading one of your messages. It’s like a story and I never know what the ending is going to be hahaha! Sendin love mate and hope you’re keeping well and all settled in to the new abode. Have an awesome week head dude 😁
@@Rookie_Rockounding
So did you look, video @ 8.39 in front of the chalcedony, might be nothing, looked like petrified wood.
I wonder what this area looks like now after the major flooding of the last few days.
Yeah, Pauly and I are heading out that way again tomorrow. Just feel horrible for everyone affected. I reckon that whole area would have been inundated.
Sorry about your drone.
Oh man it is what it is 😊
Pemandangan yang indah , sumber daya alam yang melimpah, selamat kawan
About drones…when I’m out hiking, surfing or hounding, there is nothing. And I mean NOTHING…that irritates me more than a drone buzzing. Now, I know they can help with neat footage, but honestly, I prefer your videos without the drone. Anyway, you emit great karma. Stuff happens cos it has to. Will have to hop over the ditch sometime. The NZ rocks are nice, but honestly dunno if they come close to Aussie’s. Good vibes man!
Hi, was this filmed in early Feb as the creeks everywhere on the east coast are flooding?
Perburuan batu akik yang luar biasa dan hasilnya pun sangat luar biasa👍👍👍..batu yang berkualitas kawan💕💕💖....salam satu hobi dari indonesia🇮🇩..👍👍🙏🙏😊☺️
Best way to find iris agates are to buy buckets of aggregate and search for agates that are (no bigger)as big as a teaspoon
Oh okay. So the smaller ones are better options
@@Rookie_Rockounding yes, unless you have access to an industrial aggregate site where they may let you roam freely upon size separately river rock… where as I was able to find one every 1 ( at most 1.5 minutes each)
But then again I was young at the time and was collecting these rainbow agates(without knowing what agates they were at the time) in the smalls pile after not finding agates in the Mediums pile after about 5 successful.
Pushing piles with your feet helps..
This is Hope, BC, look at the river bend at the centre of town.
Misread the post as IRS RAINBOWS 😅
Have you ever looked at your rock's using a laser pointer.👍
Ohhhhhhh snap! Yes! I forgot about this! It’s incredible how much the chalcedony lights up right!? I need to adopt that into the field hunts somehow.
