Rockhounding in April - COLORFUL Petrified Wood, Fabulous Jasper and CHUNKY Montana Agate

Рет қаралды 29,944

Ай бұрын

Kate and Kava wade the cold river to an island to go rockhounding on an island on Montana's Yellowstone River. The search for agates, petrified wood and colorful jasper is on, and as usual, the Yellowstone does not disappoint. Kate finds a chunky Montana agate, and one piece of petrified wood that has both jasper and agate in it! The vibe is relaxing, the view is amazing, and the rock hunt is soul satisfying. Come along!

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Thank you so much for this opportunity to say hello to our rockhound community while taking part in such a wonderful adventure. I've never hunted a place as amazing as these parts of the Yellowstone.

Such beautiful finds on a beautiful day! And Kava was enjoying herself to the fullest too! Lol! And that limb cast that is in your thumbnail is absolutely gorgeous 😍! Just a great day on the Yellowstone! It was on my bucket list of places I wanted to hound but now I'm too disabled to be able to go out, so your videos really help me to live vicariously through you! Thanks Kate! It was an awesome day❣️

Such a wonderful adventure. At 7:30 the two tone rock looks like it could be slabbed into a picture stone.

Hi Katie, Hubby & I love rockhounding in Wyoming & Montana. I would probably be out hunting for beautiful agates, wood, jasper & fossils as often as the weather allows. Unfortunately we live upstate N.Y. and the minerals here r nowhere near as diverse as out west! We will be there this summer for 3 weeks & I’m patiently waiting. I love watching your videos(Theo’s & MRM’s also). Thanks to your videos, I can vicariously rockhound & stay ready to explore! Rock on!,😁

I really enjoyed watching you collect. Thank you for not throwing out the little guys. I'm in a coastal area in the most northern part of California. We find little agates and jasper on the beach. I'm disabled to a certain extent and would love to be in the areas many of you folks with U tube are. My youngest granddaughters love rocks also. Your excitement seems genuine. Thank you

Wonderful, as always. Thank you for getting out there, despite the cold. I hope you can get more in, or go to the prairie. I know when the river rises, it happens fast!

Christie, it was absolutely beautiful out - just a little cool. :) That's why we have layers!

When you cut cabachons, do you stick to the standard shapes or do you get creative and freeform your stones. Many years ago sometimes I used to cut freeform cabs and set them into handcrafted sterling jewelry. Had fun watching you hunt along the Yellowstone. Keep up the hunt!

This is my first time here and I'm loving it, especially since I have some rocks that look just like yours. The rock you're showing at 13:05: What IS that?

@KatyDidRocks Ай бұрын

Hey there! Thanks for watching. The rock at 13:05 is Montana Agate - a dendritic agate.

Ich möchten nicht dort wohnen :-). Da könnte ich nur noch ein Haus bauen :-) ich schneide meine steine und hölzer nicht auf. Sie sind zu schön. Auch wenn es mich sehr reizt. 😊

@user-ue7cz5ip4n Ай бұрын

Bei mir sind es feld und haldenfunde. Nach Starkregen liegen hier viele Objekte rum. In der ganzen Zeit, in der ich diese Videos ansehen, gehe ich jedoch auch anders über die Felder. Viel gelernt. Danke!

@KatyDidRocks Ай бұрын

It definitely is! It tumbles beautifully.
