Sounds like you’re finding very similar to what we are, there must be an old volcano near by maybe. Thank you so much for watching Miani! Happy houndin

I had a really good friend at a trade school from Idaho I heard rock hounding is a great pastime out there you should post some videos on your finds we would love to see what Idaho rocks look like I think I have some green imperial Jasper from out there I also collect carnelian agates and lavender quartz lately in orange county check out my vids if you want happy rock hounding

Michael Cawdrey Hey Mike!!!! Thanks for having a look at the video for us. And thank you for identification help!!! Perlite, and olivine 👍👍👍 Have a great weekend mate, need to catch up soon.

Hey Lizzy! I’m glad you’re enjoying the older videos 😊 that Godzilla one was really cool. Yeah this was where Benny started to really get the nack of it, and now he’s always finding the big ones haha! 🤣😂🤣

Rookie Rockhounding , you've created a monster in Benny. Get it? A monster? GODZILLA! Bahahaha! I know, I know....bad joke.😉😂😂😂

Bahahahaha! That was brilliant! Bad jokes are my favourite 😂🤣😂🤣

Backcountry with Shaughn I know right! I found that one on the side of the road without all by itself??? So lucky really. I’m so grateful that you enjoyed the video mate. Thank you so much!

Oh man I know right!!! It was a beast! Thanks bud!

Firefox Thank you for the kind words 🤟

Sooooooooo lucky! 😁

That’s it isn’t it, a shallow creek, but of sun and it’s all good times! 😁👍

Haha! It honestly makes us turn into big kids 😂🤣

Hey awesome! Welcome to the channel Kazzha! You know what, I was just thinking of that Godzilla rock the other day and I’m gonna have to find that and do something with it I reckon. Thanks for coming along 🤟😁

Oh no man! I hope you are okay! That’s honestly horrible, rest up and get well soon, so you can get back out there finding the pretty ones again. Are you okay?

Rookie Rockhounding im alive. A lady slammed into us at 50 mph we were at a complete stop too. Sucks but were alive. Thank you.

jason genaw Geeze man, so lucky! Good to hear you’re all safe.

Tinkerbell Blue Hey, yeah we are very very lucky out here. So much good times to be had! Greetings from Aus🤟

M. D. Haha! Thanks. Some people’s trash is other people’s treasures hahaha!

@@Rookie_Rockounding did you just refer yourself to trash? I hope not !

M. D. Haha no just havin a laugh. Tah.

@@Rookie_Rockounding good show. 😊

It’s such a beautiful country, I recommend anyone to visit!

Molly Singleton Thank you very much Molly!

Bizz 420 Thanks Bizz, yeah we are soooooo lucky that where we live there used to be a massive shield volcano. That always helps, plus having kind farmers who let us on their land. 😂 Thanks for watching and the rad comment man 👍

;) you can find Herkimer diamonds there tho

Thirst Fast this is true and I’ve been to both ace of diamond and koa mines. Got me a nice cluster out of ace of diamonds. Great place but a lot of work

Worth it though! I've seen a couple Crystal Collector videos at Ace of Diamonds, man oh man, I'd love to get out that way sometime!

Thirst Fast ya his videos are always great.

Haha, yeah he is pretty cool lookin hey. We were out at this spot just today and were talking about how weird but cool he is.

Haha! It was a cool find that one haha!

Yeah rocks are awesome hey, we are definitely lucky for being able to have these creeks to explore, with pretty rocks to enjoy. Thank you for watching 👍

It’s so much fun! Just a beautiful country and gorgeous natural treasures galore 😁

Hahaha! He’s so damn good at this whole rockhounding thing 😉

Symon Sheppard Heyyyyyyy Symon!!!!! Thanks for such a nice comment dude, we were very lucky with the finds and that the chalcedony gods saw fit to allow us the pleasure of finding the pretty little guys. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 How amazing was Benny’s one!?! So cool! So where the creek went “dry” with no rocks, well, no pretty ones... is because of nature I’m pretty sure. The creeks out here have sections where it’s elusive and then some parts end up being full of the little gems and sometimes big ones. We’re talking with a fellow Hounder who’s trying to figure out how the stuff is deposited through the river. It seems it’s deposited by wash outs on the mountains either side. It’s getting pretty interesting to be honest. Will email you after packing up camp tomorrow! I hope you enjoyed the video brother 👍

Thank you very much dude! Haha! As a verb! Took me a second to figure that out! Nice one 👍

Hahaha!

Myrtha Gunter Thank you very much Myrtha! Oh I would love to send people some but I don’t know how without it costing an arm and a leg. Maybe one day hopefully I’ll be able to do that 👍 I lovvvvvvvvvvve Liz and Wal’s videos, so much, but I think they live in another state far down south maybe? I’d love to go out on a rock hunt with those two! Have a great rest of the weekend 👍

Tennessee also has good agate

Thanks man! Oh nice!!! We haven’t come across any indications of gold in these creeks yet, but it’s never been mentioned there either so we kinda haven’t looked properly haha. Hope you’re keepin well mate!

Thanks milesnn 🤟

Thank you!

Chris Sutherland Hey Chris! Yeah so small, pretty much the tiniest ever! Haha! But very true, where there’s little ones there should be biggins! Hopefully.... haha

Oh what!!! That’s awesome! Haha! I’ll let Godzilla rock know 😉

Travs Guide Sup Trav! Thanks man, how cool are the animals we all come across, I love OG, he’s awesome. Been camping for a week and just got home now so got some vids to catch up on. Thanks again dude 👌

Oh dude no I know, especially these older ones. I’m trying to get better at the right mix of music and annoyance ha! Trying anyway. But dude I was born in socal, we lived in a place called Hemet till I was six and we moved over here. When I was 6.

@@Rookie_Rockounding very cool man! thanks for sharing:) i checked and thats not too far from where i live, come rockhound carnelian with me if you are down here again! i lovvveeee the style of your most recent video

Thirst Fast Hey! Thank you dude! I’m pretty sure you may be right! They’re very brittle and probably can’t do anything with them but it’s rad to know. Cheers TF!

Thank you very much friend! Just watched one of your videos. Love the rock hunts.

Konstantinos Tsiakovis Haha! Ah yes, “Godzilla Rock” such a cool find 👍

marvel and rock hounding fan Hey! Thanks for stopping by. 👍

Thank youuuuuu!!!! 😁😁😁

Thank you!!! 🙏👍

Oh it may too! But it’s benni’s Rock so he may not like me cutting into it 🤣 Oh wait, no I know which one you mean now. The opal one. It might have more in it but it’s pretty small and I’d hate to loose too much material. Basically, I’m too rookie to cut into that one haha! Take care mate!

Thanks mate 👍 I translated all that haha! Will look at your channel 👍

So this is in Australia, in south east Queensland 😊

I've found some beauties out near Dysart, Central Queensland

Haha, I know right, wish I had the patience to carve it into something.

wa wa Value is in the eye of the beholder. Monetarily, maybe. But probably not unless worked into jewellery, or if they are seen to be pretty enough to someone who would pay to display them. In terms of if they were amazing to find? Definitely valuable to me. Do you find value in witnessing a 23 million year old stone being picked up and enjoyed for possibly the first time by a human? I do. In short, to me, they are valuable.

Hey thanks for the compliment, and also the genuine constructive criticism, I really do appreciate the input. Thank you Jolene. 👍

Hahaha! Asri there is a bunch of them out here 🤣 but fingers crossed we don’t have to encounter any any time soon ha!

Oh wow, I don’t reckon it would be pleasant. I take my hat off to you mate. You did your country proud.
