An AMAZING Agate Adventure: Finding & Cutting Open INCREDIBLE Florida Alligator Agate Geodes!

Some days do NOT go according to plan! This was one of those hunts where we had mother nature against us, but had a fantastic time anyways. We got off to the river fairly late in the day and, in typical Florida summer fashion, we were hit multiple times by random storms that were not at all in the forecast. We made the best of it, found a few geodes and then retired back to my place to cut a few of them open. We also had a number of Florida Alligator Agates stored up for a rainy day (literally) and cut a bunch of those open too (actually filmed prior to the hunting portion of this video). Just being able to witness the moment a rough rock first reveals the hidden beauty inside is something I can never, ever get tired of. It is like opening a treasure chest every time.
If you guys enjoyed this video, make sure to hit that thumbs up button for me.

I am amazed, that just 2 states away, that the rocks, the river, the waterlife, and even the riverbanks are so different. I'm in south MS'sippi just a mile from the Pearl River. It is very wide, and deep, with sandbars, rockbars, and mudbars. And yeah, it has swamp and gators, miles and miles of swamp and gators. The rockbars and sandbars have great agates tho, but not as beautiful as coral agates. And after every rain or rise and fall of the river, there are even more agates. I also find ton's of agates in my own driveway. It was built with rocks from gravel pits. So when I can't go to the river, I just look at home. I have a bunch of 5 gallon buckets and plastic tubs of agates, quartz, petrified wood, and fossils that I found in the driveway. Some of the wood and fossils are even agatized and/or druzy. I love your and Bree's video's. They hype me up to look for more agates.

I love watching you three hunt fossils and geods. I am truly amazed at the vast knowledge that you all possess. You pick up something small from the bottom of a river, and you know exactly what animal the small piece of bone or tooth belonged to. Amazing, truly amazing.
