My Best Agate Hunting Day EVER! (and Cutting Them on a Rock Saw)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- This was the best agate hunting trip I have ever been on, hands down. While I normally hunt agatized coral and some Michigan beaches for agates, we did some research and heard about an old geological formation in Georgia that had agates eroding out of it. We took a trip there and managed to find a great place where these agates were eroding right out of the ground and in a small dried up creek. This was also my first opportunity to use the rock saw I just got in last month! It was a blast not only finding these little treasures, but also being able to cut them open to reveal their beauty, being the first person to ever lay eyes on them.

Paleo Chris your greatest treasure is Bri. I've always enjoyed watching your channel, especially when fossils are involved, but man oh man! Bri finds the coolest stuff! She's a keeper, just saying. I hope both of you have an amazing week!
Agreed. Finding someone as enthusiastic about your passion as you is just what everyone needs.
Finally! someone that lets us see the whole thing in one video. I am so tired of videos that only show the hunt but never what the rocks look like! Three cheers! MORE PLEASE!
Me too!!!!
Im living vicariously through you two! This looks like so much fun!
Of course do more. Those are beautiful and so unexpected.
Thank you for saying the blade isn’t sharp. I would have been worried the whole time. 👍🏻
you guys rule!! I always love how excited you guys get when you find an Indian artifact. it's an awesome feeling for sure, especially knowing no one's touched this in 6 or 7 thousand years.
if you want to sell any of those Meg teeth, I sure would love to buy a juvenile heart shaped one for a center piece for my arrowheads.
you guys really know your stuff, well educated in what you find, even the arrow heads you get right..
thank you guys for your continued great videos!!
You found some really beautiful agates but the fauna was just as exciting. The sleeping fawn was especially amazing! Thanks for another great video Chris.
Eleven hours in, and not one bit of love for “CORVID-19”? That is some chef-kiss nerd humor. ❤️
🤣
Chris - It would be beautiful to incorporate those slabs into a building project of some sort like a floor or a wall. It would also be cool to frame those in resin and use them as wall art.
Really enjoyed the format of this one!
Some beautiful agates to boot.
Bree's interest in Entomology and her care for them makes me happy. She seems like the exact type of person I want to be friends with
I love the find and reveal format. So satisfying !
IT HURTS ME WITH BEAUTY... I Couldn't of explained it better. What fantastic finds 💕👍👍👍
I was going to say the small ones were my favorite but then you showed the one you cut into slabs with the red and I've gotta say that is my favorite for sure.
Those are really unusual and unique. This is a huge motivator for me to get to cuttin' the wood and agates I have. So glad y'all had fun and found so many rocks. The color variety is really cool!
Gorgeous agates! And the wild life was so cool. Years ago my family was cutting wood and I almost stepped on a fawn. Yes, more hunting & cutting.
I now have 16 minutes of my day to look forward to!
I just love all the flora and fauna shots and segments you include in your videos.
😳 whaaaat? No waaay! Wow!!!!
Spectacular colors!!! Beautiful!
Beautiful slices! That one at the end looked like it bled when it was cut open. Really cool!
Thanks for the close ups, amazing specimens with wonderful Details, great Video👍👍👍
@6:39 your stone looks like a dude throwing up! lol
You found some cool agates. Can't wait to see what they look like polished! @15:41 is awesome!
Beautiful finds! I would love to see more slabing of those agates! Also I would love to get some of those beautiful agates! Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.
Natures artwork revealed.
Beautiful agates!
Gorgeous butterfly, I love the little breaks for toads and things (except spiders, just stop that).
Holy cow you two hit the jackpot!
I love the way you edited this video, you kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
What lovely wild creations…unbelievable inside…thanks for doing this.. it’s really wild
I love seeing y'all find and cut these stones! The reds almost looks like they are bleeding.
Those were amazing agates! You and Bri are such great people saving butterflies 🦋 and showing us all the cool wildlife! I’m very much looking forward to the polishing video!
Totally awesome, kids! Granny says more, more, more👍 😁🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
The little red and white agate is killer!
It’s Bleeding Agate. Nice haul.
Soooo fun to watch!!!! Thank you so much
We would all love to see more videos like this one! Enjoy all your videos👍
More more more MORE!!!!
12:13 - me WANT this! Even though it is on the large side, I would still wire wrap it & wear it as a pendant, very proudly too! What a wonderful surprise!!! I also love that you are showing them cut after you find them.
Beautiful !
Love this video and Your love for Animals is Awesome and when Bri said Rockies lol Soo cute
Hi Chris, I loved the agates you and Brie found. They are all so beautiful in their own way. I never seen them being cut. I hope you do more videos of cutting. I had to go back and find another cutting video, fascinating. Take care and Be Safe till next time. ❤
You guys are the best! Thank you so much, and keep up this fascinating, great work. So entertaining, educational, and absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful! Yes! Do it! More!
Love the Glasses Chris!! Great Hunt once again. I learn so much from you. It really does help when I'm discussing rocks with my 10yr old nephew.
Yes more like this
What a beautiful place yielding so much treasure! That large one was like a fossilised brain lol. Thank you for sharing🤩
You two are a riot! I love the commentary
Hey guys! I'm a new subscriber from NC!
I love the diversity you guys have! I have always been a rock hound, my kitchen windows are proof with iridescent quarts nuggets filtering the morning sun.
I really appreciate your energy and efforts. I also subscribed to Kyle's page. I'm currently binge watching both channels.
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Who nice found and nice place
They all turned out really good. I want a rock saw now dang it!😁💕
It's actually a jasper just because it has banding doesn't mean it's an agate. The white banding could be number of thing's from dolomite calcite or just quartz. The other parts being colored by trace minerals like irons etc. Jasper come is all sorts of cool color it's just as pretty as agate. Jasper which is colored chert or flint. Is normally not see through. As agate even before cutting are.they have tons of layers of silica.
Love it, I know there's lots of really nice stuff out there just hard to see, could u amagen walking that creek when the water was still flowing and rocks where clean! And the size ur finding are unbelievable! Happy hunting guys,
God Bless!
Those turned out so nice they will look good polished.
Love your finds! They are beautiful!
Great video. Enjoyed the whole process!❤️❤️
The vugs on the red one were crazy cool !!!!
Bre being kissed by a butterfly means blessings and good luck you guys are awsome
Great agates 👍
Those are beautiful. Great video.
Gorgeous agates! Let’s see some more!!
I like your hunting and cutting. I am in Gadsden, Alabama.
Heck yes they’re beautiful mate!
That was awesome!!
I loved the fossil video so much, this was good too!
The salamander you all found is a black-bellied salamander (Desmognathus quadramaculatus).
And the butterfly is definitely a red-spotted purple.
Love it
Really beautiful agates!! Have you ever seen mushroom rhyolite?? Some of the agates you opened reminded me of preserved brains...lol!
Brie is just amazing. So are the crazy agates
Some of the cross-sections look like diseased brains! They’re amazing. Yes, do more hunting and cutting videos please. If you sell slabs of some of your finds please let us know.
I could show you spots like this times 10!!! I’m not kidding!!! Still awesome video man 😂💎👀💪 much love
Awesome pieces! You really should wear a mask when using your saw! Bri finds the best things whether it is animal, vegetable, or mineral! LOL!
Band of white at 5:55 looks like barite. Curious what state you were in Georgia? Anyway dude I’m telling you... come to Missouri sometime
Just commented that and told them to come to Missouri lol
Oohhh hhhooo hooo. I'm so jealous. The slices look like brain. Earth's Brains. Lol 🤟🤜🤛
good video
Cool.
Love it bro! Keep these coming
Wow very nice
I m very like hunting agate too
I swear these are stromatolites o.o thats so awesome
Loved it! Wanna see more of this? You Betcha! : )
My fav was the small one Brie found.
that grey one and the last one are amazing i cant even the last one is nuts never seen anything like it ugh makes me so sad to know i lived in fl for so long and never did all the cool stuff you guys get to do hahaha
I need to try agate hunting here in the UK. I'll let you know when I post a video see what we have and the differences from here and there
Bri needs to bring a Critter Keeper along on these hunts
also you should cut more of the big ones into slabs/slices
The slab at the end was definitely zombie brainz
10:56 - it looks like a braaaaain! :)))
You need to check out Haunted Ridge Rocks in eastern Missouri. The agate and druzy quartz are unreal and literally everywhere you look! I walked out of there with a 60 pound piece of solid druzy and agate.
Beautiful agate action going on right there! Love the wildlife--well, except the millipede, you can keep him, LOL. Makes me cringe, all those crawlie little legs. And check out that fawn, with his nose tucked in, laying very still, hoping you won't notice him. Adorable! Anyway, wonderful agates! And yes, agate hunting videos!
yay! agate hunting! love it!
Sooooooo pretty... all of them! 💕💕💕💕💕👍👍👍
Amazing. Yes do more like this. you should cut from the other side of the saw. you can lean into it much easier. I did tile work for many years. Even slow steady makes better cuts.
I was looking for someone to make this comment. Watching him cut backwards made me crazy nervous. I’m wondering how he can see where he’s cutting. I’m guessing he’s left handed and it’s probably more comfortable for him 🤔
8:26, the dark part on the right half kinda looks like a pliosaur
new sub love this stuff
I'd loooove to buy a slice of that last one you cut if you would sell? And also, Bri always finds the best stuff! If y'all ever come to Missouri rock/crystal hounding, let me know! We got a couple cool places like Haunted Ridge. Also, you can find all kinds of cool stuff through the creeks here.
These are all absolutely gorgeous! Chris, do you ever sell any of your slabs?
Great Agates and the cutting of them reveals their true beauty too. So how did the butterfly rehab go?
You gotta swing thru Missouri on your next trip north! Truckloads of agate here! Hit me up 👍🏼
O yes, I would like to see more
That first one look like a stromatolite - 0.56 is where I am lol
I like Bri. Special person. Beautiful rocks
The stuff looks so much like drab banded chert until you get it wet and cut it. It's gorgeous! What are the bits of matrix in there? Did you ever find out?
Wow the two of you found some incredible banded agates. I wished we had agates of that quality in missouri.
