Is This Even Rockhounding?

- This is a pretty fun and easy location to just drive right up to and pick up some rather impressive chunks of obsidian.
All the permit information to go here will be located on the location listing on my website.

Haha! Great reaction. You can tell a hardcore rock hunter when he's almost disappointed that it's too easy. I guess you'd call it "rock retrieval" instead of rockhounding--not much different from picking up dinner at the drive-through. Our local rock club sometimes organizes collecting trips to quarries where you do essentially the same thing: drive up (with permission), grab a few of whatever rocks you see lying around in huge piles, and head home.
You're lucky to be in that location, though. I've only seen perlite in its processed, 'expanded' form at the garden center, never the raw material itself.
Love your comment about perlite / snowflake..." They are confused" I wish I knew enough about rocks and minerals call people out like that, LOL
Gotta start hitting the books, that's how I learned everything.
Very cool video Jared thank you, Sarah, and Lika for going above and beyond. We enjoy your videos hope you all have a wonderful blessed week 😊
Ps we were there it was a lot of fun
Thank you very much!
It's called shooting fish in a barrel, Jared... 🤣
I have never seen obsidian slabbed! Please show it if you do. This was a valuable hunt, even though easy. Less fit people and those introducing small kids to rocks love the abundance….it’s very encouraging.
I am curious about the bigger white pillows in the wall. I’d love a better look.
Thanks so much. Always a pleasure. Leica has a good life.
So shiney it doesn’t need water or licking lol. The banded ones are really cool 🆒
Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Great video, Jarad
Thank you!
Ooo I love this. Awesome, you guys!
A valuable lesson as to why you shouldn't stick your hand in holes, things live there. Grats on easy pickings.
I need to teach the lesson to my dog. :D
Another great video! Thanks Jared and Sarah!❤
Thank you.
Call it Rock-Harvesting.
Wish I had a female rock hunting buddy in NSW Australia! I'm good looking and play guitar too. But rock hunting is weird. I find awesome treasures, know lots about geology, Gems, Fossils and Gold. Trying to find my
solemate rockhounder.
My kind of rockhounding
That is amazing, how much is just laying around on the ground. Excellent video
Thank you!
It looks like there are a lot of air bubbles in those pieces. That would cause problems with both cabochons and knapping. The flakes have a tendency to stop when you hit an air pocket. Also I think a lot of Snowflake Obsidian come out of Utah, so you should find out where and go there.
I wouldn't say there are a lot of bubbles in it, sure some does but there is plenty of very solid material.
I love that area. I dont really work with obsidian either, except the Mohagany once in a while, but I like it just fine
I cab obsidian all the time. It's easy to work with and if it is rainbow, or has golden sheen or silver sheen, the result can be amazing. Thanks for posting your video.
I really enjoy seeing yoiu and Beautiful Sara on your rockhounding adventures. I have run across one rule on Obsidian several times - you are not allowed to sell what you collect. This makes no sense and adds to a million questions if you use it in a piece of jewelry or cab it! I would love clarification on what you can do with Obsidian if you collect it! Love your informative videos!
All rocks collected on public land that do not come from a mining claim are for personal use and can not be sold.
The law is pretty clear, no collecting for commercial purposes. So if you collect rocks with the intention to make them into something and sell them, that's illegal.
I hope that helps some.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding some what! I often wonder how they can regulate that. So many do collect them and cut them and form them into jewelry. In Kentucky I have not found laws prohibiting the use of rocks you find in public waterways. I guess we really need to check laws in different states we visit.
@patriciabock4299 I'm not sure what the rules are out there, but I'm sure you can ask the land management body about it
Roadhounding.
You need to go to meadow warm springs while your out their, really refreashing
What an incredible place to collect obsidian!!
Do you know if there are any different types of obsidian there? Or is it just the midnight lace and perlite? I know you touched on it in the video. I'm just wondering if that's all you can find there.
Thanks for sharing this cool a$$ video!
That's a good question, we really need to get back the to hike around the area some.
This is Rockhounding for old rockhounders like us...kid in a candy store! lol
We had the same experience in MO. Picked druzy quartz and lace agate all over the ground. Nice to see it when things go safe easy.
Still a mystery where to find snowflake obsidian?
ohhhh..myyyyy...gawwwddddddd....
Well said! :)
It's rockgathering!
I am trying to learn about rocks. The hill had layers an explanation of what the different layers are and how they may have formed would be of interest to me.
Yes ..we all can learn from " Mudfossil University". Please everyone enjoy ❤️
Volcanic activity. Obsidian is volcanic glass. High heat melted rocks.
Yes, we can all learn what happens when a mentally ill person has access to the internet by watching mudfossil university.
Amazing how it looks like the famous obsidian site in Oregon
I did abundant obsidian hounding in AZ.
Sure it's still rockhounding if you're ignoring most of it and looking for those special pieces. Just because a location is mineral heavy doesn't mean it changes that you're still outdoors and enjoying yourself looking for rocks.
Valuable to older folks or those physically impaired. Even to physically capable collectors.
Too many moving parts of the permit. Hope the revamp is soon.
The permit is beyond stupid if you ask me.
I have been on all those hills all around there and that hill you’re on is the only one with obsidian
Do you know if there's a chance you can find rainbow or fire obsidian?
I have no idea what is there beyond what I showed here.
Great content as always Jared. Wanted to let you know that RUclips unsubscribed me from your channel. Not sure how often this is happening to you or my other subscriptions, but I've heard of this happening from other channels I'm subscribed to. No explanation or warning and only found out when I was curious why I hadn't seen any recent content from you and Sarah. 🤬 Don't know if you want to warn your subscribers, but if they've been unsubscribed unknowingly, how would/will they?🤔
RUclips has its way of picking winners and losers on the platform. I drew the short straw, it would seem
@CurrentlyRockhounding How and why would they even do this? That's how they generate revenue, correct?
@@RickSmith-kp3sy They can effortlessly do this by promoting some channels in search way more than others. Some channels get force-feed to new viewers on the homepage and others don't.
Yeah, they make money by showing you ads and keeping you on the platform watching but they don't distinguish between good and bad content very well. Clickbait trash content always rises to the top and when they see someone doing that it gets push harder than content that doesn't even if one is truthful and one is a bunch of nonsense.
@CurrentlyRockhounding Thanks for the explanation Jared.
So you would think the permit would be good any where. Instead of confusing everyone.
It really is a stupid system.
What state do you two live in? I'm in Utah and we go looking for rocks alot in our area here around us
Utah
"Currently Picking Up Rocks" isn't very catchy.
The permit sounds like another way to suck money from citizens to pay for another government position.
Obviously there is no shortage of obsidian. BTW your channel is awesome.
When you go back find out where the gold sheen stuff is!
Definitely don’t lick these rocks!
OK, I checked that link, and followed it to the permitting, and it says that even you, Sarah, and the pup had to pay $400 to use "less than 10% of the land". Seriously?
How did you come up with $400? The permit fee for a family is $25.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding Ha! Like you said, it is stupid and confusing. Thanks for the clarification. I suppose we should start applying now, for Aug or Sept '25
I love to nap obsidian I would love to buy some. If you could sell me some I would buy from you.
I'm sorry but I both do not sell rocks and its not legal to sell rocks collected on public lands without a mineral claim.
2:29 min. What is this absidian with a blue tint?
It was all mostly black or grey with pumice there wasn't anything blue.
