    Thank you boys for taking me along with you on your adventure. How amazing was this. A forrest laying about at your feet. I wish I was there. Some amazing logs were found! Thank you for showing me what these trees originally looked like. Have a wonderful Easter. From the land down under. Autumn has arrived for us.

To know the history of the pet wood and the the other fossils is one thing, but to see them and know just how old and amazing they are is mind blowing! What a great adventure and amazing finds! Thanks for taking us along!

      @@RockhoundingLife I live in Wilson County. All I find are Eocene fossils. It's hard cause the land I am living on has lot's of fossils. Problem is they are either completely hematite mineral replaced or are *rats* lol I can't think of the word. It is a rock type that has layers. In this case hematite and clay or some yellow mud stone I think that is what it is. I am from Idaho and have been trying to get a handle on the rocks and such down here. Anyway great video.

    Hi from Sue in NB. I am so envious. I have been to Parrsboro and Joggins a few times and fell in love with fossils. Also went on a field trip around the Gaspe and found lots of fossils. Because of my health, I can no longer get out searching anymore. So I absolutely loved this video. I just discovered your channel. Take care and have fun.🔨 💜

The fossil imprints were beautiful and I was yelling "grab the chisel" for the very last one you showed preserved perfectly in the rock. Can't wait to see what projects you have planned for the beautiful pieces you and the boys collected. Happy Easter from my family to yours! 🐇🐰🥚

    Nice finds. Thanks for the video. Did you try to cut any of it? With it pretty much being coal do you think it probably wouldn’t polish very well? The petrified wood I find is basically coal as well.

      They don't polish well at all but they look very nice with an epoxy finish.

    Not everything is yours to take you shouldn’t touch the petrified wood it should stay right where it’s at it doesn’t belong to you it belongs to all of us

    • @RockhoundingLife
      @RockhoundingLife  2 года назад

      We dont take anything in the rock face, nor do we touch the rock face. I want you to understand that the specimens that fall on the beach end up getting destroyed by the tides. So they end up being lost forever. Especially the tree specimens because the material is so soft and fragile. So at the very least move them to the high water mark.
