I did it! I did two videos in a row! Haha!
It's been so long since I've done that!
Happy New Years and I hope this year brings everything you hope, and I'm so grateful to be sharin it with you guys again. big big love from the boys and I!
Also, I'm still learning about colour grading, not gonna lie, I'm still learning my new editing suit so there a few things to get right. some of the greens are a bit greener but for now, its what I ended up with. Either way, my biggest hope, is that you enjoyed it. 💙
Glad to see you're feeling up to going out and having this much fun! 😀That rock has definitely seem some ish... lol
So happy
...
So happy to see you
It's great to have you back on UA-cam. Your videos always offer a unique perspective, blending exceptional visual aesthetics with insightful commentary. Your landscape shots resemble scenes from a Jurassic Park film, and then you transition to your friends, grounding us in your everyday reality. Thank you for sharing your distinctive view of our world and yours with us. You are blessed and you bless us by sharing.
Ditto, I was so overwhelmed I watched it in two parts, couldn't focus from excitement.
Home in the creek once again, you have got big worms down there, how big are the birds?
Plume, mossy, my favorite for studying, looking for hours in case you might find that picture that is so very rare and so amazingly beautiful that people will offer you crazy amounts of money so they can own it, if I ever find one, keep the cash I will keep the beauty, that sounds like a good title for a story, beauty and me, nah, yes, yes, yes, beauty and the beast, bet you didn't see that coming lol.
I know, predictable, as i am getting older my condition is getting worse, won't be many more years before I ride off into the sunset with no fuel for the return trip, but thats a different story for another time.
Wet feet, wet rocks and a heavy backpack, sounds like your destiny has arrived.
Have fun with those brother.🎉
Looks like an incredible day with the boys! Your country is beautiful, your rocks are phenomenal! Thanks for sharing your joy to all of us rockhounding nerds!😊 Happy 2024🎉

Que lindas meu amigo. Feliz Ano Novo. Great my dear....
Obrigado 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Great spending time with you again. Looking forward to many more. All the best for the New Year
What a great video with stupendous rocks! The moss agate was my favorite! Cannot wait to see the cutting video. So glad you are back!
You are my beautiful human to watch when I can’t go rockhounding.
Beautiful, great production. Keep up the great videos!! Onwards and Upwards Rockhounding!!
Oh man thank you on the great production call, that’s too kind mate! Thank you thank you!
Hi Jess, another really good video. I was wondering when it would drop, checked 3 or 4 times during the day, then boom just I sat down for dinner, Hahaha. I can honestly say I don’t recognise that creek, it looks pretty awesome. Some of those pieces are stunners and they have some size about them. They should cut some nice display pieces while there are a couple that might stay just as they are with a bit of a clean up. I don’t know if Ian, Locky or Dave have a big saw, if they don’t and they want to cut one of their big chunky ones, just let me know. Happy New Year to you and the boys. 🍻
Oh man honestly Shane, thank you mate, I’ll let you know where this wonderland is and can’t wait to show what’s inside these, thanks to you cutting two of them for me. I genuinely am grateful for you helpin me in more ways than cutting rocks these last couple years. I need to get out and fossick with you! I’ll T it up with Pauly soon okay! Well do a Friday Fossick!
Happy new years and I hope I didn’t disturb you guys’ dinner! 😬🤪
Thanks for bein a mega support brother!!!!!!!
Great video !! I’m so glad you’re able to get out with your boys.

Welcome back bro. Looking sharp. Can't wait to see those rocks up close in the next video. Lessgo!
Nice chalcedony and rhyolite scores! That last big chunk should slab up in stunning fashion. Can't wait to see what everyone got and how things slice up! See ya in February! Thanks for sharing your adventures, Jesse!
THANK YOU for a great start to a new year. Amazing finds as always. I gotta say I'm envious of your hounding locations .
That filament moss agate is a banger!!!!!
Wow what a beautiful place to hunt rocks

Just found your channel and subscribed. Love your videos and enthusiasm! Makes me want to go out and explore again like I used too!
Honestly I know it is more work but longer videos from time to time would be welcome. I love when you show the beauty of nature around y'all and love the the fact that at least one of you guys are not afraid of snakes. Lol. I would be right there playing with the snakes too. As a mom of two sons, I had to teach them what was venomous and what was not. God Bless.d
Seriously dude, Locky is a legend. Hell yeah!! Some good cuts there brother 9:08 Bloop Bloops nice 9:47 DUDE!! That’s some mossy goodness right there, Yes Sir!! 10:16 Jesse I’ve so missed your waffling on 😂 That’s one shit/sick rock dude 13:44 JESSE you’ve made my New Year’s 🥳 Cheers John AKA Johnny Rockhounding ❤️👍

Glad you are back.
Good to see you rockhounding in Australia again. In that big rock it almost looked like Opal-spots in it??Happy new year.💥❄🎇🎊
Super cool stuff. I like that you seem to know what you’re putting your hands on! I need a jet to come visit you guys!!
At the 5:58 TS you rinsed a volcanic botryoidal agate commonly known as the Thunder egg and that one looks like it may have ryholite with it.😉👍🏻💯
So good to see you guys 💪🏽🤠👍🏽
HAPPY FRIGN NEW YEAR! LOVE YOUR FACE!! ♡
Aye! Thank you Anne!!!!! Big big love and safe and happy filled 2024!!!!
There is super rare volcanic opal there. Justin from black opal direct owns "the eternal flame black opal " but its stable volcanic opal. Love the colors on some of these agates and nodules. Wish i could come to AU and rockhound with y'all.
I love following your channel. I like that we know where you are so when I am wealthy lol I will go to these amazing places and get some of my needs for rocks fix done.
Be still my heart it’s. rock time!
Haha! Heck yeah Jayne! Thanks for coming along!
A video from you is the best thing that has happened yet this year! Stoked you see you on here again... your videos gave me the confidence to get a tile saw and cut my first rocks. Love the cow rock, and the comedy and life lesson of it all! I can't wait to see more of it, and more of you. Thanks!!

🩶🙏😘
Happy new year Jesse. I hope this year brings many adventures and prosperity.
👏👏👏👏 so much fun 😂 that's what I've missed the most. 🐄👍🫶🤣🤣🤣
Aye thank you Terry! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and felt the fun we were having out there 🤪🤪🤪
Soooo good to see you back doing videos and enjoying your times with friends on rockhounding adventures. Beautiful finds as always. Happy new year !!! Can’t wait till the next ones come out. Take care of yourself
The cow saved that rock just for you! How cool is that? It's wonderful to see you out "adventuring" and enjoying the magnificent beauty of a creek. And so many great finds among you and your friends. I hope the new year continues to bring you joy and happiness. ❤
If you ever got the chance would you ever travel to Wivenhoe spillway boat launcing area or twin bridges in S.E Queensland. I've been out there and there is quite a lot of interesting stones there aswell would love to see a video on it ❤ keep up the amazing work your a true inspiration to us all much love dude ❤️💯💪
Absolutely Liam, I work out in Ipswich so that would be rad to do. I grew up there and it wasn’t until this year that I realised how many beautiful beautiful stones I was walking over until I was 42!? So glad I finally look down at the ground haha
I just got a big ole smile after watching the video. Bro, there's just not a lot of content and creators out there that make me smile warmly from watching a UA-cam video. I enjoyed seeing the snake and all the moss and ferns. Being out there with your mates in some choice nature, finding all kinds of hidden treasures. And man, the rocks each have so much character. It doesn't have to be agate or chalcedony to be gorgeous, eh. Had me laughing at the poo on the rock. Good thing there was water close by to wash off. Thank you so much for sharing, Jesse! Happy New Year!!
Can't thank you so much for showing your shinies and the joy they bring you and others.
Also love that you stop and enjoy all of it not just what is at your feet.
Will be sending this to the crew as it has been 6 months since our last fossick.
Stay well and stay safe
Looking forward to your next one
YES! I actually find watching a fossicking vid helps me get pumped for the hunt too Andrew! Make sure you tell the crew I said g’day and get out there!!!! Happy hunting mate! Thanks for the support!
I think the cow already claimed that rock 😂 to funny when you found it 😄 🍻🎉🎆
Hahaha yeah brother boy! I think they saved it for me… it got on my eye and then watching it back I realised I didn’t wash my face off until getting home… hahaha
I can hardly wait to see what comes out of that... Cut and polished... So glad to have you back ❤
So glad to see you and your beautiful country again. Keep on rockin'.
Well worth the wait, happy new year. Those rocks look awesome
Jesse, so great to see you! It's been such a long time, mate. It looks like you guys found some really great specimens. Love the 🐍 but I really loved the chalcedony. I wouldn't know rhyolite if it came up and introduced itself. You're looking great and I'm so glad to see you back. ❤🎸🏏
Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Happy new year!!
Gee they look extraordinary when cut, as in your final take then.
Imagine my surprise and pleasure waking up to yet another gift at my door with this new post from a friend across the ocean. What an excellent day out wandering the caldera of a volcano for magical silicified goodness! 😉 Happy New Years to you and yours sir. May 2024 be the very best year yet in your journey~ Thx again for the fresh post brother, hope you have a great week!
Ohhh look who it is!! Hey rookie.. wow such a pretty place.. the rocks are exceptional .. thanks for coming back to us.. you were missed..❤️☮️
