      aw yeah, like button SMASHED. What do you think about that dark/reddish spot on the second one that was cut? I thought it was pretty intriguing! The first one was a stunner, but I figured you knew that ;)

    I know it was only seconds Taylor but the suspense was electric. Wow so different, beautiful chambers and crystals in one and a light show in the other, brilliant.

    OMG! How much fun was that! I love ammonites and seeing the insides are awesome! That druzy one was the epic look that we all expect from a cut ammonite, but the other one, was actually super cool under black light, and even more interesting because it was so different! Great video! Thanks for sharing!

    Similar but yet so different! Love how excited you got when you nailed the cuts. Pretty cool how the one looks under UV light. Glad you thought to check that out. Thanks for sharing!

  • @kvg4790
    @kvg4790 2 года назад +10

    For the druzy one, did you cut right along the siphuncle? I was hoping that it would be intact. You may be able to see it on the one that’s been fully filled in.
    The siphuncle is a tube that runs through each of the chambers and allows the ammonite/nautiloid to control the amount of water filling the chambers, which are ballast tanks like those on a submarine.

    Two really precision cuts. Great job for pulling it off. Loved the crystal chambers as well as the florescent one. Keep the fun coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

    Always amazed at the interior aspects of fossil specimens.....not gonna lie, was hoping to see some greens, blues and reds for the sender/owners sake...but still gorgeous pieces....I liked the second one better, but that's just personal preference....would love to see them after polishing.

    I'm picking in Moose Lake today and man is it cold. Do you have a favorite pit? How deep should I be digging? Surface, subsurface, anywhere...? Thanks for all the content. It really makes this hobby attainable to those of us who only get to agate hunt once or twice a year.

    • @AgateDad
      @AgateDad  2 года назад +2

      I have only gone to the pits there a few times and haven’t had much luck, I think any would be good and if you’re digging around that would be your best chance. Hope you have good luck, let me know how it goes 🤘🤘
