- The weather may be cold, but the river is calling, so Kate, Jim and Kava head to the gravel beaches of the Yellowstone River to do some rock hunting. Getting there is part of the adventure, and once there, they discovered some beautiful agates, fantastic petrified and agatized wood, and the biggest piece of aventurine Kate has yet found. The treasures of the river never disappoint!

“I think my water just ran out,” says the lady standing next to a river! 😂
LOL, yeah, it was just a problem with the batteries.
@@KatyDidRocks Just made me giggle. You all have some beauties where you are! Where are you? 😂
I don't blame her for not wanting to put my hands in 40 degree river water.
Awesome finds.
Thank you, CC!
Nice walk with rocks as incentive to keep going. Lovely pet wood. Great time spent together. A little more sunshine would have been great.
LOL, I agree about the sunshine! It was cold and dreary - but the river was calling.
Awesome finds! Happy Easter to you both! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! :)
I just found some cool petrified wood the other day to. And a piece of dinosaur bone
Very cool!
Banded chert like that is always a bonus, looks like you had a cold but great adventure. Happy hounding.
Thanks, Kelly!
Thank you ❤❤❤
You're welcome 😊
My cat does the same thing with dirty rock water. Cant resist it.
It's so weird, right?
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: You guys had a Yellowstone River bonanza on this rock hunt!! This hunt refreshed my soul! What a great Easter treat... better than a chocolate egg!!
Kelly, I'm glad to be able to give you a treat. :)
That jasper at 8 min is gorgeous 😮
Thanks!
Looks cold! Great finds, as always. Mucho thanks.
Christi, it WAS cold! BTW, I cut that colorful rock from Mexico you sent home with me. I THINK it's serape jasper. It's really cool - and will be in a future video. :)
had to come back and give the like and now it is in my subscription feed
Thanks, cherylamie. And thank you so much for all your support.
Great finds! Love the pet wood as always!
:) Me too!
Awesome, finds Kate! You and Jimmy always do a great job on the Yellowstone!
Thanks so much! :)
Great finds regardless of the weather!
It was a good hunt.
How nice finds. Wish i could tag along❤
Thanks for watching!
Going to be a good hounding summer... Great video..
Hope so!
Love your channel 👏👏💯💯💯❤
Gosh, I've been watching you for years and those amazing rocks never run out! Happy Easter! 💐
Gwynn, there are literally MILES of agates buried in the ground still - we won't run out in my lifetime, for sure. :D
A drone or a compass would make life easier . As far as finding the river in unknown territory...
:D I actually did use a compass to make sure I was headed in the right direction - and yep, a drone definitely would help.
Thanks for the video....We always enjoy it. You and Mr. Did seem to really enjoy your adventures. Thanks for sharing with us
I'm so glad!
jasper brighten up the stones, and you did find some lovely ones and a lot of other stuff too. --Always nice to go along with you for rockhound. Thank`s.
The jasper really shows up great, even in clouds.
Beautiful finds as always !!
Glad you like them!
nice finds :)
Thank you!
6.43!!! Sweet! And 7:57!
:) Thanks! Glad you enjoyed them.
Nice❤
Thanks :)
Wow, it may have been cold, but you sure found a lot! Just amazing finds! Some huge agates and that tube one is going to be fabulous cut! And you just cleaned up on the agatized wood! Some really beautiful pieces! And Jim's clear agate that he found all by himself, will make a great tumbler too! What an amazing bunch of rocks! And my favorite one was the stromatolite! Such neat colors in it too! ❤ Thanks you two, for taking us along on this cold spring hunt! It was awesome!
Thank you, Lisa, for all of your support. I actually thought of you when Jim found that stromatalite. :)
Mr. Did, please make a cab out of the first master find.
Which?
It was supposed to say Jasper, my phone changed the word.
The second one, as you said has, do have tubes in it. That is one of my favorite formations. I have one that the whole nice agate is concentrated with them like it got hit with a shotgun.
That sounds really cool!
Great finds! I love the petrified wood. I wish I could find it that abundantly here in Kentucky. I've found a few pieces but mostly marine fossils.
It really is a treat.
3:39 I'm a particular fan of the fluffy agate
FLUFFY!
Poor Jim still hasnt learned a thing after all these years 😂 "thats a stromatalite not wood" "i just threw those discards over my shoulder and you happened to find them" 😂 its so funny watching him follow you around and pickup your discards ❤
Actually, given that he knew absolutely nothing to begin with, he has learned A LOT. :)
Hi
Hi! :D
Cats and rock water, right? Bathtub droplets, that water u dip a watercolor brush into, the lil weirdos. 😂
Yes, they are. :) Also the bottom of the shower. :P
SO envious you’re out and about already! Are they saying in your area whether there will be significant high water this year or did you have low snowpack?
We had a very mild winter, so we'll be lucky if there is much of a rise at all.
I couldn't believe it when I heard you say, what is it about rock water that attracts cats? Mine do the same. They actually prefer it to their fresh water. I don't get it.😸😼
Rock water taste like fish 😂
Mmmmm, fish! :D
Are you just cleaning them with water?
Yep! There is a bucket of water sitting on the towel. The minerals in it seem to attract my cats, because I never get through a session without ONE of them drinking from it!
@@KatyDidRocks Thank you! I've got several rocks in water & was contemplating if I needed to use something else
