    I'm going to have a hard time now whenever I see or think of rebar. It will forever be rhubarb.
    There is no question that you need to return to that creek of treasures. Can't wait until you do! I'm so glad you found some prehnite so we could see it in the host rock. Thank you for taking us on another beautiful adventure. The creek and surroundings are gorgeous.

    Thank you for this beautiful video. Just seeing the creeks in Minnesota in spring is a gift, and watching another rockhound sift joyfully through the rocks is another gift. No North Shore for us this summer--so you are doing this "work" for many of us. Please return to the new creek--and happy hunting. These videos bring much joy during the lockdown.

      Agate Dad Can’t wait for next vid. The West is hot and wild. And I’m going crazy not holding a nice rock for a long time. Find myself talking to my babies(my rocks) and telling them how beautiful they are. Hubby is busy and he won’t let me go to the mountains alone bec LA is just crazy, and your videos and the rest of the rockhounding community is my escape from reality. Also, I’m still having cold feet on publishing my rockhounding videos. I may need 3 margaritas to finally have the guts to make it happen 🤪

    Great, Fun, intro!! Made me channel check... lol
    "Agate Father" just about caused another caffeinated spray, keyboard baptism!! Rookie Rockhounding almost got me again!! lmao
    @3:33 That looks a lot like a couple of rocks that I found on the bank of the Mississippi River. They had everyone stumped, even my normally awesome rock shop guy(Jimmie from Honey Creek Gems in Davenport, IA). I finally took them to the Geology Dept. at Augustana College. They told me that they were "Fragmented Agate". To the best of their knowledge, these occur when a partially filled basalt agate vesicle(basically an agate geode at this stage) is broken/crushed and then filled in with quartz or more agate/chalcedony afterward. And, I discovered that they take a great polish.
    Hope this helps a little.
    Another great video...
    Again, Thanks for sharing...
    And, as always, Good Luck, Have Fun, and Keep on Houndin'...

    Rivers are tough. I have a gold prospecting sifter(classifer). I'll shovel some in, wash and see what pops out. Agates and jaspers are heavier and will drop out of the current sooner. Check the beginning of inside bends.

    The first creek is incredibly beautiful; what an eyeful of inspiration. Just watching it on video made me feel so alive and energized. Thank you 😀. The second creek does look very promising. Who knows what you’ll find in addition to agates? It looks like a fun adventure.

    • @AgateDad
      @AgateDad  4 года назад +3

      Exactly my thoughts, when you fins good agate indicators, it sets the stage for the fact that you are going to find other minerals that are in the quartz family!

P.S. was that Star Wars sound effects when you saw the concrete with the holes at 8:16. It doesn’t matter how much you find, the location was beautiful. Thanks for taking us along with you.

Will be up on the shore in Mid-august and again mid-September. Let's make it happen. I'll email you this summer. You won't have a better day catching trout and finding agates on the same stream.

    What l use for water is a 2 liter bottle with a little hole drilled in the cap. When finished replace the drilled hole cap with a cap with no hole. The bottle can double as your drinking water. Added benefit no spray mechanism to break...500ml bottles work great aswell. And they aren't so big and cumbersome.

    Hi Taylor, what was that creature at the start of the video, is that one of things you guys call a " Bigfoot" .
    We have something similar here in Australia, it's called a "Yowie", Jees they are not an attractive creature are they, you know all big and hairy, strange black eyes, flaring nostrils, wow, that's what we sometimes refer to as a real " house haunter" 😂😂😂
    Anyway that is a nice looking creek, some nice finds there as well, looks like a good one for jasper pieces. The second creek you went too looks like it will produce quite a few pieces if you found that many in short amount of time. What would you come across if you spent a day there. Of course your going back there, crazy not to.
    As for that creature at the start of the video, maybe you should forward that bit of vid to the " Bigfoot Channel" over your way there always looking for evidence of these rather mystique creatures. They are always trying to catch them so they can be examined, probed prodded and experimented on.
    Bye the way if your in contact with Rookie Rockhounding, tell him I said, Hi mate. Gotta go, this was too much fun.😂😂😂😂
    Keep Safe & Keep Rockin ( keep away from "Yowies", apparently they can be temperamental at times)
