    I'll never look at all the rocks and pebbles on the beach in the same way again. I was so astonished when you found that crab in the rock at the beginning. I never would have identified that unless you pointed that out. It's fascinating. Now I can't wait to go to the beach.

    It may be too late to have a guess on the Jasper, but I'm guessing 187g.
    Mamlambo, I just happened upon your channel tonight and I have to tell you that you just reignited my mineral and fossil collection spark. I had gotten a Geology (Geosciences) Minor in university purely because I loved looking at and holding all different kinds of 'rocks' and had used a rock tumbler for a while to polish up some of my favourite gemstone beach & mine finds, but never had thought to scour a rocky beach for fossils! I was already blown away, but then upon realising you were here in NZ too has made me want to leave my house at midnight to go in search.
    Although, I'm up in Auckland and based on the waterside places I've been so far within an hour radius, I would assume there's not all too much around here and would need to travel much farther south (likely near the west or bottom of the South Island for best chance?).
    Any tips would be much appreciated! Or to come learn for you yourself haha

    @aserta 3 года назад +1

    13:35 for stuff like that, it would be a decent investment to get a second hand jeweler's wire stone saw (i think that's what they're called) that uses diamond wire to cut the stone. I don't have one, but i bought four meters of the wire they use and converted a grinder to cut concrete for whenever we do analysis on it. On fleaBay, it's actually quite cheap. Submerged in a bath of water, it could cut excess material in under a few hours. Better than grinders or cutting wheels for sure. Just a thought.

    Hi buddy you know what it's hard searching a new fossil locality. You know that anyway so do I.
    I take my hat off to you. You just go for it. Did you get a tip off about this location? Even if you did it's hard on your own working out where to look. Bonza!!!!

      Nah, its just about trying out new spots. Often I don't find anything which equals no video 😃

    This was a great trip! A fossil hunt for a bucket list for me.
    Good luck with the crab!

    Do you think it's possible to find a clam with pearl in it from that time period.

    I'm getting the itch to do this. Started carving wood last year. I want to chip away at some stone now

    This is gnarly. I love stuff like this. It's hard to word it exactly but I just love "finding stuff". Like metal detecting, finding a fossil or just finding something on the ground or semi-buried. I feel like I would nearly have a heart attack from excitement if I found some cool stuff like this. But I live in Arkansas in the US - I mean, there's a gravel/sand processing plant by the Arkansas River and my old school and lots of other places used pebbles/pea gravel from this place and I remember I used to find tons of little shell fossils in them on the playground at school. But Arkansas is pretty far from the ocean and I don't think many people find big/substantial fossils around here. People mainly find arrowheads from native tribes.

      I used to metal detect quite a bit, I know what you mean by the thrill of finding things. If there were fossil shells, there might be some other fossils as well :)
