Rusty, you are ROCKIN!!! As a fellow Hoosier rockhound, it's exciting to see your (and your Mom's) discoveries being pulled out of the creek and displayed so beautifully for our enjoyment! Very nice video you have posted here, and I'll look forward to more geodes and fossils appearing on my laptop screen in the future. Thanks for the adventure!
I'm from Jennings Co. IN. Me and the kid's love fishing and rockhouding it's truly remarkable how amazing these areas are when it comes to are plants history and evolution. It's really cool to see someone have a passion for rocks and fossils. Keep the videos coming and good luck rockhounding.
Welcome aboard, Rusty Rockhound! It truly does my heart good to see young folks get into this hobby/sport/healthy addiction!🙂 I wish you all the best and may your channel and collection grow and grow and grow! Thanks for sharing your adventures. 💎
Awesome agate, geodes and fossils. Those crinoids are crazy big! I agree, that unknown fossil is a horn coral and the one behind it looks like a bigger one but didn't get a good look at it. Those botryoidal (bubble like) pieces of geodes are cool too. Pretty good video for your first one.👍 Thanks for sharing!✌️🤠
Awesome finds that brachiopod at 1:05 is huge, i would defiantly shift through that area to try and find some whole ones. That piece at 3:54 is some bryozoans. 4:06 looks like horn corral.
@@rustyrockhound you could probably look up some sources for local fossils and even maybe find out the exact species of some of your finds. Or maybe get in contact with some local experts from a nearby uni.
Awesome video! I am heading to clark county Indiana next week to visit family. Any pointers on where i could go find a couple geodes to bring home to my son?
I love finding brachiopods! They’re one of my favorite things to find because it’s like finding shells on the beach but you know they’re millions of years old!
Can you say the creek name or the name of the bridge from the beginning of the video. I go to brown County often to look for geodes but don't know many good spots.
Hello Rusty! I’m in Indpls and have a couple of rocking friends from Ohio I’d like to take to the Brown Co/Monroe/Hoosier Forest area to hunt. Do you give out any of your hunting locations? I thought with some recent rains we’ve had, hunting might be good. We’re hoping to go Labor Day weekend
I usually don’t, but I’ll tell you, any creek in brown or Monroe county is likely to have tons of cool things to find. Just make sure it’s public and you have permission 👍
wouldn't matter what creek it is if its not on public land. indiana has a navigable water way rule for prospecting so unless you know the land owner you have to stick to only navigable waterways and public lands. u can prospect up to the natural high water mark of any navigable waterway but non navigable requires landowner permission. Indiana has a good list
@@cozyfrogASMR research is very helpful. When I don’t know what something is I’ll look up it’s characteristics online and see if anyone else has an example. Rock and fossil forums are very helpful. As for the difference between quartz and quartzite, quartz is more like a crystal, you can find it in agates or geodes, or you can find it as parts of other rocks like granite. Quartzite is a rock that forms when a sandstone made from quartz is heated and put under pressure. Quartzite is a grainy pale and hard rock.
Good vid ,nice edits. Really enjoyed it.. 🤙⚒

Thank you so much! Indiana has some hidden treasures for sure. I’m hoping to go hunting again soon
Congrats on your channel, may you have much success!
Dude wth your mom snapped hahahaha I love that

Indiana for sure has some interesting geology! It’s super cool that we’re all on top of an ancient ocean bed
I live in Bedford and was just checking out some rockhounding videos. I subscribed to help out your channel.

@@rustyrockhound you're doing very well and picking up excellent rocks & fossils! Keep up the great work.🙂
Decatur county here! I always find tons of geodes and fossil corals at my local creeks!
Hi Rusty. I am from Monroe County and Southern Indiana does have some great fossils and rocks. Nice video. I wish you the best in your journey.
Awesome! Cool to hear from another Hoosier
I adore the agate!!! Looks like magic ball! The fossils are way original and mysterious!
Nice hunting. Nice finds. Save some for rest of us!!
Stuff is always being unturned in the creek!
Awesome finds that brachiopod at 1:05 is huge, i would defiantly shift through that area to try and find some whole ones. That piece at 3:54 is some bryozoans. 4:06 looks like horn corral.
Thanks! I didn’t know the names of those fossils. This helps

Yes! That's a brachiopod. You can tell by the plane of symmetry. That's so cool.
Great finds all around. Keep up the good work.
Wow, nice finds!
Fellow Hoosier rockhound here, I look forward to seeing what else you find.
More to come!
beautiful very interesting awesome collection nice.
Thank you!
Just subscribed. Looking forward to watching your adventures.
Thank you!! I’m excited for more in the future
The coral looking fossil is called a bryozoan and those clams you found are called brachiopods. Nice finds!
Looks like a fun area to go rockhounding.
GD
For sure millions of years my friend.
Wow!
date that larger shell. they are found in south east georgia and florida.
❤❤❤👍👍👍👍

The fossils are between 250 - 542 million years old. Thank you for sharing.
I love you man, good video, great finds ... I'm subscribing and I hope we can rockhound together some time !!
I live in hendricks County. I need to make my way over to brown County and hunt. I find brachiopods and small things here.
I love finding brachiopods! They’re one of my favorite things to find because it’s like finding shells on the beach but you know they’re millions of years old!
does any one know of any places around clayton to find cool rocks or geos
Your mystery fossil is coral
Can you say the creek name or the name of the bridge from the beginning of the video. I go to brown County often to look for geodes but don't know many good spots.
It’s on low gap road, Martinsville. there’s a park sign by the bridge and a parking spot.
Is this the low gap trailhead?😮
You’ve got a nice, huge Crinoid calyx not geode with clams. Your “unknown” is a Rugose or horn coral.
Crazy to think about! Lots of others say the same thing

@@rustyrockhound Thank you! 🚌🤞🏽
What town in brown county? Fossils? 250 million years... 😳
What town?

Hello omg please tell me everything you know haha 😳
I'm not joking we seem to be around the same age and you seem to know so much more tell me 😭😭
What do you want to know?
@@rustyrockhound how do you identify different things. Like the differences quartzite or quartz
