- This trip was a blast, and it was great to experience the Yellowstone River, which I have seen in so many videos over the years.

We are getting our first cold weather and snow of the season, so watching this is making my heart warm! :) I think those bugs are mayflies - they all hatch at once, swarm like crazy, and then die after a day. It was so much fun to watch the hunt from your perspective! I wish we had been able to find more clean rocks that day - I guess you'll just have to come again next summer. :) If you soak that black interior petrified wood in bleach, it will leach out the carbon and show you the grain. Not really worth it, but kinda fun.
I can't thank you enough! It was very nice spending the afternoon with you and going out on the boat.
The colors show up better in the shallow water. Have fun. I wish I was there 👍😎👍🇺🇸
Happy belated birthday, Sara! :-)
Lol Stop licking the rocks 😂❤
Get your minerals any way you can.
Great video
And happy birthday🎉🎉🎉
Those bugs looked like mayfly's , fish love them . Yum , yum
Lol
Spent a whole month stopping at Fishing Access spots all the way from Billing’s to the confluence of the Missouri River. Great finds, if you have a spray bottle and lots of time! The silt makes it hard to see but spending at least 3 days at one spot reaps good results.
Happy birthday trip Sara
Thank you!
The rocks were very silt covered this year unfortunately 😢 so I decided to test my eye sight with it and only look in the silt to level up my agate eye😅
I was going to recommend you! I'm always amazed at what you're able to spot under all that silt man!
The agate eye of the tiger! 406!!
It was a little rough out there.
I believe it is a fungus or algae that decays and turns grayish. Something invasive as this didn't use to be such an issue.
Happy Birthday Sara 🎂
Happy Birthday, Sara!
Happy birthday Sarah...nice agate finds...you have the eye! Awesome video guys...one of my favorites! Jared...your sign is done...I'm uploading right now the video that goes along with it. It turned out stunning!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: I would title it, "Losing Our Minds on the Yellowstone!" or, "The Yellowstone River: Where Even the Culls are Beautiful!". Those are some big a$$ insects! Even your dog is talking about them!
🎉Happy Birthday, Sarah (belated by airtime)! What a great time: yourself, your honey, your dawg, and good friends, in a boat, rock hunting on the Yellowstone! Good times. Thanks for including us, your RUclips family! 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟
Rock overload.... think the eyes 'skip'. So hard to focus on a small square and really 'see' through the dirt and sand. I drive from MO to WA. And have not stopped to rock hunt. Really want to... maybe next time out.
I want to plan a rockhounding road trip from Albuquerque NM to Utah and any stops in between. Do you have any suggestions on prime spots, especially for agates and petrified wood? I have Dugway Geode Beds and Topaz Mountain on the list so far.
Can’t wait to go to Yellowstone…BUCKET LIST!
Bet that black wood is translucent if you cut a thin slab. Yeah spotting anything in all that silt is difficult. I think it's something you need to practice to get good at spotting stuff. Glad you got out there though!
Ill have to give that a shot.
The Montana Agate is so similar to the Iowa Honey Agate, that people can't tell the difference.
I've had people argue with me that I must've gotten them in Montana. But I've never been to Montana.
Im not sure, but when theres a plethora of flying bugs its often may flies. They almost burst when touched. They have 2 hair like structures on their butt and big wings. They only last a few day's. Some years they get so thick you can see hundreds in a few feet of each other.
It seemed very familiar the location name and the view in the beginning of the vided. I have seen all videos of Katy and Theo. Both are very lovely. You and Sarah are also.
Happy birthday, looks awesome and fun!
Yo - combine the buckets of finds, take the other bucket and throw water out of the river onto the beach, and search the wet area instead of straining to see through the mud coverings~
Nice to see you guys stopped at some cool roadside attractions
Happy unbirthday Sarah!
Happy unbirthday Sarah!
Mayflies..... fish love em
Happy Birthday🎉.
Happy Birthday to you Sarah.
What a nice way to celebrate your birthday Sara! Agates and petrified wood. 😊
It was a really good time.
Happy birthday Sara! I thought I recognized that opening interstate shot. If you get off at Wallace and go up through the old mining town of Burke, it will take you on a dirt road over the divide into Montana. I didn't do any hounding on the way but I'm sure you would find some goodies there.
Very cool you met up with Katy and Jim and got to go remote gravel bar hunting.
That's an area we really need to get out and explore more of.
I think you did pretty good and you got to hang out with Kate and Jim. Happy Birthday Sara I hope you had a goodtime and wish you many more. Kee having fun fron Casa Blanca, NM this week.
It was a great trip!
The river was so high this year. It never really dropped. Hope you guys had fun, better luck next time.
We spent a bunch of time watching the river levels and timed it the best we could but it was really high.
Glad to see you made it out to our part of the world and found some treasures. Guessing by the water level, you must have been here sometime in August. I’m bet the government vehicles at Myers Bridge were cleaning up tar from the train derailment.
Yeah we tried to come when the water was low but it seemed like it was never really that low this summer.
I believe you are correct, they were there for the train derailment.
Great video and happy birthday Sara! From your newest Patreon supporter!
Thank you! :)
Alot of those you were saying were quartzite were actually jasper and jasper agates.
How are you sure of that?
Very good video.
Go katydid!!!!!!
Fun!
The best areas are always across the river on the Yellowstone! 😂
That does seem like the case.
Wow! What fun. I recognized Mullin and the fountain. I drive that several times a year coming from Vancouver, Wa. However, I turn south at Billings and head for Sheridan, Wyo.
Great finds. Katie and Jim are like magic and so are you guys. Thanks!
Well I think you did really good! It really does take practice when hounding out there! The outside texture and the silt make them look like, for us from the pnw, plain old basalt. It takes a trained eye for sure. And I'm so glad you got to go out with Kate, on her stomping grounds this time! And yes, she is a real expert on the Yellowstone rocks. I've wanted to hunt the Yellowstone for years and now I can't anymore, because of my handicap. So I say, do as much as you can while you are still young and able to enjoy it! You never know when you won't be able too any more. So I'm glad you guys made it to the Yellowstone. And your finds were awesome! The agatized wood from around there is just beautiful! It's too bad you guys didn't find more jaspers from out there too. They get huge and so colorful and beautiful, they are just as prized as the agates are! Thanks Jared and Sarah! It was an awesome video! And Happy Birthday Sarah! 🎉
It's nice to see you made it to the Yellowstone and meeting up with Katy and Mr. did. I hoped you would find a lot of the mossy agates I dream about finding. I hope you go back and the rock hunting conditions are much more favorable. I guess it's hard to pinpoint the right time and place if the river doesn't want to cooperate. Nice finds though especially the agatized pet wood. Thanks for taking us along, and sharing your experiences at several stops.
It takes time to train your eyes here on the Yellowstone! Travis 406 findings is one of the best around if you come back reach out I'd love go on a hunt with you guys !
Thanks!
Thank you very much! :)
