Cheers and best wishes!✨

Thanks Dave! I'm a happy camper😎🐾

Thank you Mindy and greetings! Finding a blue like that is so rare and finding agates where I was is not common either so I was beside myself haha! I'm so glad someone understands me tho lol😄 Cheers Mindy✨

😆hahaha that's hilarious! I almost muted me completely out. I was seriously so excited I couldn't contain it! Lol I will definitely be back...with duct tape over my mouth lol😄 I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching😎🐾 🏞❤

And by the way, its not good to keep secrets

@@OldGuyAdventures 😃Can you believe it OG! I felt like I was dreaming. You just don't find those on that river...or so I thought! I don't think it's been touched for awhile. You may be the ONLY one I share my secret with😉🐾 What...a...day😎🏞

@@MarlainaAtkins I can almost guess where you were at just by the size of the river, I was on the river also today, but I didn't do any rockhounding.

Thanks Dawg! I about died lol🔥😎🐾

Thank you so much! Nice to have another fellow rock lover on board. That day was a great day! Appreciate your comment. Cheers to more! 🤗✨💚✨

Thanks, so am I!😄 Glad you enoyed😎🐾

😃Thanks Katherine! I'm still pinching myself...and can't stop smiling😊🐾

6:00 Ha! “And it begins!” Love it!

Ahhhh 7:06! Hiding midscreen!! Sneaky little bugger! 😳

I DONT KNOW WHY IM YELLING BUT I AM! Sorry. I am SMILING!!!!! So big right now! 😁😁😁😁😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 19:28 now those are the ones that my tile saw calls out for. I just wanna see what’s inside!!! All of em, all of em just treasures Marlaina! Seriously so rad. I had so much fun getting out there with you as always. Thank you for sharing your adventures and your rocks but most of all, your genuinely unique awesome personality. Your the embodiment of what we all hear inside our heads while hounding. Keep wearing that necklace Mar, connected with the earth and a history we all need to respect. Loved it. And shout out to those two lady’s of adventure too! 👌

@@Rookie_Rockounding I totally missed that one! Thanks dude! I'll be back like Arnold😎 haha

@@Rookie_Rockounding Hey hey Jesse! Can you believe it...CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!! The blue, shoot, rainbow agate...🔥💓😍 And then the waterlines😵...within seconds of each other! I could not contain myself. Cloud9 dude...cloud9. I seriously have been dreaming of this day. It nearly brought me to tears. I'm still smiling ear to ear😁 I could not wait to share this with you. It marked almost a year later from when I went to Damon Point and found my first agate. And tomorrow the 18th marks the anniversary of my first video I posted. ALL because of you and Rhon! Cool huh! Feels like so much longer😄 Well, I'm posting a video tomorrow in honor of you and Rhon and all my subs and doing a giveaway of the pieces I just finished polishing...which turned out GREAT BTW!✨ I still just can't believe I found all those agates on the river. It's a pretty rare occasion around here. As long as Old Guy Adventures doesn't go find this spot (he's the only one who'll probably know) I'll be back for more. I barely touched it. Well appreciate you as always brotha and best wishes to you and the fam! Stay healthy thru all this crazy. My town looks like China😷😩

Thank you!😎🐾

Thank you! If only I could get paid to do this haha!😎

Cherry...i couldn't believe it. Finding lots of agates like that is a rare occasion where I am. Many people walk that river. But this spot hasn't been touched in awhile. I'm keeping this one a secret. It's a total dream. And I'm sure I left many behind. There was so much more to explore! Thanks so much for coming along. Oh! I knew you'd like that necklace!😄 It truly is a special piece...just like you☺ The shout out was my pleasure🤗

@@MarlainaAtkins Top secret place for sure ! Can't wait to see what you find on your next visit to this place, of coarse wearing that good luck necklace :)

😁 🙏

Thank you Kristi!😎🐾

I edited so much out of this video haha! If I didn't have kids to get back to that day I would've been there all night lol😄 Thanks for watching🐾

Thank you😎🐾

Thanks! Not a usual thing where I'm at. I was trippin! 😄✨

Haha yeah...i was on a total high that day lol😄🐾

Thanks! It was such a nice surprise. 😎🐾

😊 Thank you. It made me happy😎🏞

Keep posting my friend cant wait to see your new rockhounding vids😉😊

Oh thanks so much! I couldn't help myself😁💓 I'll have to check this other gall out tho! She sounds awesome haha😄 I had so much fun that day. I'm hoping to get back to the river tomorrow🤞 Thanks for coming along and best wishes to ya🐾

Thanks RHA! Appreciate you coming along😎🐾

Thanks 406! Appreciate you joining the journey. It was a great day! 😎🐾

Thanks Cecy! Love having you along! 🤗🐾

That's pretty damn awesome!😃 I haven't found any here in Kitsap. Mostly further South. Dude, I just figured out who you are... What's up Erik😜

You betcha I will! Just for you😉🐾

👊😎🔥

Thanks Shaughn! That jasper is amazing eh! I really wanted a bigger one of those. But there is much more to explore there so I'll be back. I couldn't believe it had all those agates. Rare for there. Thanks for coming along! HH my friend😎🐾

Thanks! 😎🐾

I know🤦 I'll be back😎🐾

Thanks RASE Dase! Loving your channel too. Cheers my fellow hound🐺🐾

Totally! I so got lucky. I'm still smiling from that trip.😊 Thanks a bunch Mike!🐾

Thanks! The feeling was indescribable. You know the feeling tho with your big chunky you just found. Not as big but I was in heaven. Thanks for coming along😎🐾

@@MarlainaAtkins That was a fun adventure! Thanks for bringing us! What are the weights on those two fantastic agates, that you found right next to each other?

@@Perfectionseeker1967 the big waterline is 6.9ozs the blue is 1.2oz. The one on the title page is 3.9oz. I wish I could say it was a 3 pounder like yours! But I'll take it none the less. I can't stop looking at them haha

@@Perfectionseeker1967 I just finished polishing a few different stones that I'll be giving away in my next video in a few days. Stay tuned! 😉🐾🔥

@@MarlainaAtkins That's awesome! Those are some very, very cool finds!

I was trippin... but not on shrooms haha!😆

Aw thanks jt! I'm so happy to share my adventures with fellow rock lovers as I. Appreciate you joining me! That blue...oh boy I could hardly believe it. One in a million for sure. That beauty will stay with me for a long time. Take care out there🐾

😆 I know...it was bad. I seriously couldn't help it. That actually was me trying to hold it in lol🤣 And then I cursed pretty bad so that's when I definitely needed to mute it haha. Dude...im still tripping G! Totally unexpected from around here. I found a fairly unwalked stretch of river. I couldn't wait to share this with you guys tho. Finally some agates! 💃🔥

I've been thinking of ya too bro! That sucks you still have snow. I'd be loosing my mind by now. I'm so ready for summer😎☀

@@MarlainaAtkins I made a couple quick videos down there, I should have a quick little fun video up fairly soon. I keep saying "summer is coming!" ... as I slide along the shore to take pictures of trees *coated* in ice! LOL! And yeah! Those were some crazy awesome agate finds! The bigger one is bigger than anything I've ever found! I know I would want to cut it, but at the same time, I really *wouldn't* want to cut it! Same with the blue-tiful one! Just incredible finds!

Oh my goodness guess what *JUST* got delivered!!! 😃 Ok...breathing...😄💓

@@MarlainaAtkins Ooooo! Enjoy! 😄

Tayhua state Forest.. Washington,..dang why does it have to be on the other side of the country for me!!.. your so lucky!.I'll trade you lake Michigan beaches with Petoskey and agates for a day!

@@manisteerocks7092 😯 I do love me some lake superior agates...and I have ZERO in my collection. Maybe we can work a trade🤔🐾

@@MarlainaAtkins Lakers are mainly found up in the U.P but due to the glacier push ALONG time ago,we find anything and everything on lake Michigan shorelines.im blessed to live right on the shoreline so it's not uncommon to find Jasper of all kinds,agates, unakite,quartz, I could go on and on.. everyday is a new find.. especially with the beach erosion due to high water levels.

Hunting in the rivers in WA is legal as long as your feet are in the river and it's not a sanctuary... But you have to keep in mind where you enter the river and if it's on private property you cannot enter there. Unless you have permission. There are certain DNR lands that are not accessible either. So before I go on any hunt I always check property ownership so I know where I can access or not. I use Google Maps in Satellite mode 2 search for gravel bars or points of access of areas I'm interested in searching. That is where I found this spot. It just takes some researching. Pick a river you're interested in and research points of access. Check property ownership so you know where you can and can't be off of the river. Depending on where you're at bridges are a great access point usually. So far I have not been hassled, but you never know and it's good to know the law just in case.

Thanks for the sub Wil! Sorry to just get back to ya! I am in WA state Puget Sound area. 😎🐾

🤷 what can I say😄 Glad I found some cool rocks😆 I'll leave them off next time😉🐾

😭WHY!!!

That's the exact meaning for me...in a way. My friend and I who have known each other since birth and who's parents were best friends so we grew up like sisters...got the tattoos together as a symbol for our friendship. That is so awesome Kelly. You are such a sweet person. Much love to ya 🤗💕

Not sure

😆🤣I know right! Lol😎

Hi🐾 I live in Western Washington. This was in Belfair, WA.😊

@@MarlainaAtkins Hello. I would love to see Washington! I really liked your video and those rocks are really beautiful. I cut cabochons and wire wrap, paint, all kinds of crafts now since Corona. I own and operate Gallery202 in illinois. What would you charge to send some rocks? The post office has those if it fits it ships boxes for one price, and how much per rock? Thank you for your reply. Here is my cell so you could text message me... 217-781-2094

Some of them are fine specimens they way they are and can be displayed on a shelf, some of them are cut and polished, engraved, tumbled. I like to wire wrap them into jewelry as well.... You can do many things with these treasures.😎🐾

To me they're priceless... A matter of perspective I guess. I revel in what a masterpiece they are. But I do make jewelry with them too...to be sold in the future as well. So I guess they have value in that sense too

Hi Leah! Olalla is right around the corner to where I'm at...so cool! Thanks for reaching out. Currently Rockhounding are awesome people. As of right now, I'm not getting out much. Vehicle issues. So the shores close by are where I search when I can. The Purdy Spit is a great spot...close to Olalla😉 I would invite you to a rock club meeting but as of right now...everything is cancelled till further notice due to COVID. But you are more than welcome to join anytime if you'd like! Kitsap Mineral & Gem Society. Some people are still getting together for small field trips, like I did to Saddle Mt. And you'll get some perks when things get up and running again. Anyways, nice to hear from a local! Happy Hunting out there! And if you find my secret spot...shhhh lol😄

We can meet up at the Spit sometime. Are you open during the week at all? Weekday mornings or noon is best usually for me😎

@@MarlainaAtkins I am open during weekdays :) and Purdy is super close! I would love to join up one day if we can plan a day. I have a pretty open schedule. Not sure if your on FB? I wanted to join the Kitsap mineral club this year but because of covid it was a bit challenging, but I'm always down to meet up outside:) thanks for getting back to me.

I think we could plan a day...maybe even this week! Like... tomorrow at 11 at the Spit? Which is Thursday😎

@@sunshinesprinkles2872 I haven't heard back yet so I won't be there tomorrow. Maybe we can meet sometime in the spring when it gets warmer. Cheers

I usually have no problem sharing my location...but this one is a secret spot... I do give a clue at some point in the video but thats the most I'll disclose. Cheers

@@MarlainaAtkins I thought it was somewhere in Alaska which I’ll probably never visit

@@susanbethgray3914 it's in WA state... on the Tahuya

@@MarlainaAtkins I usually get agates from fir road along the Columbia in north franklin county. Because I have MCTDisease and Lupus I don’t do it often enough

I'm sorry for that... I think I have rock fever... I may need to get checked out! Haha😅

I feel you! Rock Love👊😎
