The Rugged Rockhound
США
Добавлен 18 май 2021
I am a Geologist and Science Educator. I spend most of my free time Rockhounding and Hiking, and I love to teach others about Mineral Collecting, Geology, Science, and anything else I find interesting!
That said, my biggest passion is ROCKHOUNDING! I have been a rockhound for roughly 15 years now, and I just cannot get enough of it! I have been so many places, seen so many cool things, and I wish I had spent more of that time filming the experience so I could share it with others. That changes now! I will now film every rock, mineral, and crystal hunt that I can! I love finding cool things that occur out in nature! THERE IS TREASURE EVERYWHERE! We just need to go out and look for it...and have some knowledge of what to look for.
I have a Bachelors degree in Geology and a Masters degree in Science Education.

More Exciting Discoveries at the Septarian/Petrified Wood/Agate Claim!
You drove right by one of my favorite spots with Burro Canyon formation. The stuff you ID’d as Barite is most likely Acyclical Crystaline Aragonite. Which is pernicious in the area. Get into Brushy Basin formation and you will stub your toe on hunks of “fools Wood” . It fizzes in acid, and is noted in the Agate Quadrangle Geological map. I have also found agate replaced aragonite “fools wood”. Some smaller agates in the wash running through the Slickrock & Moab Entrada sandstone, are likely from Dewey Bridge member of Entrada sandstone.
I do t know why RUclips suggested this to me, but I just want to go trail running there. It looks so pretty and secludedz
Awesome stuff, great video
We are so very Glad & Happy for You that YOU are Getting and Doing Better. We Are Praying for a Faster / Speedy Recovery.
Thought of you today, agate bay has a new video out describing that they are looking for influencers, it may be worth a try
Have they tested for Valley Fever? It's a fungal infection that can stirred up by moving dirt in the southwest. Hard to diagnose but they have test for it if you know to ask.
🙏
Where is this
Good to see you cutting some cool rocks man! Good to see you doing better too!
nice video
way to go. nice to see you doing. keep it up.
Glad to see you back
Glad you're doing well today!
Wow! A rockhound using a rock hammer in a RUclips video. My compliments to you.
It was great to see you smile when you mentioned the horses and your plans to get back out there! Praying for peace for you and your family. Praying for wisdom from your doctors and a full and speedy recovery. Take care of yourself!
Thank you!
I have tons of calcite on my property, I never knew.🤘🏼
Oh man praying for you! I can totally relate on the depression. I’m so thankful to be relatively healthy! That helped pull me out of it. Seriously wishing you healing man
Thank you! First time major depression for me, but I am doing much better now!
We will all be here for when you return, thanks for the update and praying for a quick recovery! <3
Thank you!
It's nice seeing you again. I'm hoping for the very best.
Thank you!
Hang in there. I understand what it’s like to be limited in your it activities. I have spinal stenosis that causes almost daily pain, especially after doing anything on my feet for too long. Which really puts a damper on rockhounding. I struggle with depression because of it sometimes, too. Luckily my wife is very understanding (she’s a therapist). I do run my slab saw as much as I can. But I’m starting to get low on things to cut. I’ll have to start polishing and cabbing, which means time on my feet. Keep pushing through. Things have a way of working out.
Thank you! Sorry to hear what you are going through. I really need to get a larger slab saw so I can spend more time cutting.
Thanks for the update bud. Keep being strong and hang in there. Hope they find the spot and you have a full recovery.
Thank you!
Hey, how far is the spite you’re at from the road? My grandpa has oxygen machine and wants to go.
Miss your videos--be here when you get well. I will pray for you. Just got back from a 30 day of rockhounding get-a-way to Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. Still have some of your locations to checkout when I go back out. Thank you so much for providing the GPS location for most of your video rockhounding adventures.
Thank you so much! Glad you could enjoy some of those locations.
We love you buddy! Hang in there!
Thanks!
Hey sorry to hear you're going through all that buddy, hang in there!
Thank you!
Praying for a full recovery and a pain free future.
Thank you!
Hang in there chronic pain isn't easy. I've had fibromyalgia for 34 yrs now. Depression is real. I understand how one day of doing what you love. Makes you pay for days after. Glad there seems to be a ray of hope.
Thank you! It also has helped me understand my wife, who has had a chronic condition her whole life.
missed you
Thanks!
Thank you for the update. Hopefully soon you will find things out as to why/how and when can it be fixed. Blessings be.
Thank you!
Thank you for the update. You're are loved and amazing! So glad to hear things have improved with your depression and that they might have answers that will help. Enjoy the holidays, Snuggle with your sweetheart and sip some coco. Spring will be here before you know it and the rocks will always be waiting.
Thank you! Hope you have a great holiday season as well!
No worries, just hang in there man. Will send you a box of goodies soon Rugged Rockhound. Maybe toss in some cents too!
Thank you! You have been one of my greatest supporters on this channel. Can't thank you and all the others enough for the wonderful kindness you have shown.
Bravo brother amazing video! I 'dig' your channel lol Subbed!
Jasper has unexpectedly come out of nowhere and become one of my favorite minerals, just because of how it cuts. Always makes for such pretty cuts. And that copper ore piece was awesome. I gotta find me a copper mine. Geez... just keeps getting better from there... im so envious! You have no idea lol. I bet your personal collection is fking epic 😂 man... cool rocks bro for real. Saving this video. Shopping list lol
Awesome video. I will be praying for you!
CHECKING IN W/U YOUNG SIR. JUST LIFTING YOU UP.✝✝✝🏆🏆🏆🙏🙏🙏⚒⚒⚒
REVISITING.
Those are soo cool
Just going off the thumbnail for the video i could tell i didn't want to hear anything you where about to say, and less than 10k views in 3 years, i can see I'm not the only one who thought that... You might try not being in the videos, as no one is here to see your mug just the rocks and minerals... Then you would have 10k views in a month not 3 years... Such a fake conceited smile tells us everything we needed to know... Its too bad because that petrified wood would have been really nice to see... (Not trying to be mean, just trying to help you make better, more watch worthy videos...)
Coulda' been a nine.
Let me guess your friend had to leave and go get his dump truck so you can get the stuff home but don't worry I'd be the same way
Ask you made this have you made that video how bad did the back of your truck scrape on the way back with all the Rocks you got
this video is a little old but I love how these normal rocks slice open to look so pretty
7:02 my GOD
We live fairly close, can’t wait to check it out
I totally have been to the geode beds probably 150 times and have found some like that with the blue love them.
Please be advised, the drum mountain agate site is under claim . Has been for a couple years. I'd rather you did not share GPS coordinants, or offer collecting advice to this site. And anyone digging in a pit will be a problem. I'm not being mean,I just advise everyone to do the proper research, and respect claim markers.
Great video Arco is a beautiful area
Aren’t you worried about Rattlesnakes out there?
I hope your health and wellness improve!
It may just be my freshness to the hobby, but pretty much all of those looked really cool to me lol.
