Sarah's big find is nice!

Rad video man, happy I could share a spot with ya!! Cheer from The Rock Hugger

Pinkish. Good enough!

I’m cleaning my newly acquired stones as I’m watching you. Then to the hardware to pick up some wet sand paper to start polishing!! Love your videos, I learn a lot from you both! ❤

I recognized exactly where your at! Didnt released that stuff was in that area

Oh my word, your bucket handle idea is genius!!!! I have to try it.

This looks like my towns surrounding areas. Love it!

Loved the glances of basalt. Columbia River Basalt formation covers areas of Oregon and Washington usually 15 miles deep. Sarah with your sweet dog tied to her is so patient. Well trained dog!!

That huge piece you dug out looks pretty amazing right off the bat!

It's beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!

Oh wow... I'd live to work with the common opal in the lapidary shop.. Super envious

I enjoyed your enjoyment of some great discoveries! Almost felt like I was there with you. Those pink colors are really something. The common opal I've found in the Oregon desert have been yellow and root beer brown. So funny to watch you haul Laika across the bridge! Thanks for a great time!

wow that was a great day out fam. keep up the hunt. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!

Love this video! I want to go here. I think with those little “red” pieces, they could be polished and wire wrapped and make some nice jewelry ❤️❤️

Wow...that was quick. Amazing that it is pet wood...so jewel-like!

Cool finds. Thanks for sharing. Happy thanksgiving to you and you family

Great finds! I'd like to see one of those slabs you cut polished!

Lika is such a sweet dog. I loved getting to meet you, Sara and your dog. I obviously love animals and they love me too. :)

Great location, great stuff you found. Another place for my growing list of rockhounding locations that I want to visit.

I live here and have been picking this rock up forever, but I had no idea what it was. Thank you I’m going to take some kiddos out there tomorrow. 😊

Very cool finds! Thank you for sharing!

Poor Laika....afraid of that bridge. Great opals, that vibrant dark pink was awesome. SARA's find was huge. Nice hunt!

Very nice finds. Thanks for sharing

That big chunk looks like it has wood grain. Really neat stuff!

I found a beautiful irridescent pick opal on the Eaton ranch south of Ellensburg. I gave it to Mrs. Eaton andshe had a pendant made from it. It was quite stunning and looked like the opal that comes from Australia.

Awesome adventure sweet finds cool area thank you

I live in Omak Wash. East side of the state. Close to central Wash. Thank you for the videos . Just needed to learn from a great teacher. You fit the bill!! Thanks again and Rock On!

That chunker is impressive! Beautiful material. Should polish on the lap very easily✨

Great Rockhound trip! It took me about 7 minutes to find where you were digging! I should have majored in Geography as I love Google Earth. But, respecting the efforts of Rockhounds like yourself and The Rock Hugger, who have come before me, I will divulge it to no one. On the other hand, I will be traveling there to find my own opal treasures of Central Washington. #MumIsTheWord

Ps I have your dogs doppelgänger. Lol minus the white- mine has slight smaller white spot on chest. ❤

Wicked good stuff man

Lots of cool info :)

You are right The Rocker is a totally righteous dude very friendly I love his videos and I love your videos to Jared

Wow awesome finds, I’ve found rose quartz by the skookum lake not sure I spelled it right , thank you for sharing your adventures 😊❤️are the more orange pieces your finding is that carnelian,

Wow, really nice stuff.

Well the wind isn't blasting, so I know you aren't in Ellensburg Washington.

Omg that huge piece is beautiful already. I haven't finished the video yet but I hope you show them all cleaned up at the end. Do you have videos of some of the stuff you find all polished up? I'd really love to see that aventurine all polished.

Hi Friend..Its good aventure..I like the pink colour..Hope you success to your chanel..

just subscribed to THE ROCKHUGGERs channel, have you ever tried/thought about making beads out of some of them smaller rocks? if you do do it is a chalange to do so as i found out!! great video!

I want to go hunting there with me sometime

Great video. Is any of the material you collected good for tumbling or polishing? Keep up the great work. Always appreciate fellow Washington rockhound videos!!

Thank you

Very cool video

My daughter, wife and I are new rock hounders. Where did you get that awesome bucket with a flat side, metal handle that's also padded???

Beware of rattlesnake season 🪱.

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁

Could 2:30 be quartz crystals? Wow, such fun finds - hard to believe the area is called the "scablands." :D

I had found some roadside in Wapato 💕

I believe that's hyalite opal..the clear opal at the beginning

Hi! Thank you for sharing this video! I watched it because I want to find out what to do with the crusty, or at least not-so-opally part of the rough. At some point, you say you cleaned out the calcite, but can you tell me with what substance you did that and how? I’m asking because I bought myself a lot of pink Andean Opal, and it contains a lot of brown/yellow stuff that runs pretty deep sometimes. When I put it to my flat lap, it becomes a sort of mud. However, this way of getting rid of the brown stuff costs also a lot of beautiful material. What would you advise me to do?

"That big ones not going to cut it". But I bet You Cut it. 🤣

I have a rock I Can't identify yet. It's an emerald green, and red speckled crystal of some sort. It's a vein, has what looks like Potch on top and bottom, definitely white. But the green is insane. I'm scared to work with it. Yeah it's from Oregon

I have 3 solid egg shaped rocks that are pink opal

Will you be cutting that big piece parallel to the lines for a different pattern?

I want a good Massachusetts rhodonite video from ya 🥇🥇

Was this in grant county?

The dog is a baby and you're a good daddy.

I have been rock hounding for a few years off an on but yesterday I found a little something that has stumped me not sure what it is wondering what your thoughts might be?

What is your method for dissolving calcite?

Is this opalized wood?

How did you dissolve the calcite off?

At 3:05, I'm pretty sure that's carnelian.

That big one rose quartz?

You guys are so lucky you get to stop on rural roads and highways, not in CA since cops and highway patrol have a 21 ticket quota is an easy ticket if people stop on rural roads or highways and if is not an emergency you are busted.

Can you share the location of this one?

Is Laika named after the Russian space dog?

Very good ✝️😊✡️

re watching

Good fun but why do you call the Pink Opal, opal?

Looks more like agate
