- Great gemstone hunt with some great friends. Cyle, Pauly and myself spend a day digging at one of my private gemstone claims. and after a slow start we hit it big with some amazing finds. These are some of the best geodes I have seen come from the area.

There was an amethyst vein out behind my grandmother's farm. When I was a kid, I'd walk through her fields after they plowed and just pick it up off the ground. Big crystals, too. Miss you, grandma.
That sounds awesome
Nice. As kids, we walked the fields on my grandparents farm, behind a tractor, puttng the rocks on a wagon, of a ton of rocks, might find a nice looking rock or two, your grandma's place would have been way more fun. Hope you still have a few.
Love your GRAMA wish I had one.❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a lovely memory. She gave you a nice childhood memory for sure. May her memory be a blessing.❤
Q
I recently realized I wanted to go back to college for geology and eventually make fine jewelry with stones and do soil samples. Your channel was the first one that popped up. I love your energy! Your videos feel as if you are showing a friend around and sharing geology facts of the day is one of my favorite parts of your videos. You are enthusiastic and have great vibes. I am a new immigrant to Canada and Canada is a beautiful country. Thank you for sharing the beauty.
SAME ON THE GEOLOGY
I've been wanting to do this as well!
Awesomeee all the best
Welcome to Canada ❤
Seriously - one of my favorite parts of your videos is where you say “I hope to earn your subscription today!” - Thank you for asking instead of demanding. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the adventure Dan! I shall cherish my precious Moose Knuckle forever!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Those colors are fantastic! Beautiful video as always! I literally can smell that fresh air and taste the grit! Oh, how I miss being out in the field! Thanks for taking me virtually! The rockhound life is such a lovely way to live! Isn't it?
not only are the stones cool, so is the banter. So fun.
Totally agree! Awesome HILARIOUS hunt!! ROCK ON! 😂👍🏻🪨⛏️
"Wow, that's like a treasure trove of Earth's hidden wonders! Agates, amethyst, and geodes all in one place - you've hit the geological jackpot! It's incredible to witness the beauty that our planet holds beneath the surface. Nature's artwork at its finest! 🌍💎✨"
I don’t collect geodes. I don’t collect crystals. I have a minor interest in geology. But I found this fascinating and watched to the end. Every video Dan puts out I watch because I learn something - or he cheers me up. I find Dan absolutely delightful. He’s the brother you want so you can ship your offspring off to Uncle Dan for adventures. Good on you Dan, yer bloods worth bottling. 😊😊😊 shining the lights on them was like shining a light on a potato and finding it was supernatural….
I live on the Eagle River in Malakwa B.C. I find all kinds of geodes and agates, but no good tools to expose what's inside them. I just collect what I can and hope one day I'll get a buddy to help me with some real tools. Great site! 😁
I once found a large pocket, that had copper toned tips. It had about 7 points on crystal flower, about 6"' × 5" × 3" my most favorite crystal find.
That one that broke in the field is absolutely rad. It looks like a wave. That's a great specimen piece
Thank you 1,000,000 times over !! You have no idea how much I enjoy watching your videos !!! I'm batteling a bunch of medical problems so laying in bed watching and learning from you brings me an escape and great joy. Medical bills keep me from buying a momento from your store at this time, but I am setting aside a little bit each month so I will be able to get a momento from your site. As a bonus to my year, I was honored too see you one day in your truck at Lynden. It has been the highlight of my year, Keep up the FUNTASTIC job!! And again, I THANK YOU !! : )
Gorgeous agates !! Awesome fellows and bantering for the best and easiest method to find more and more and bigger and bigger.
Dan. You are such a patient teacher. You are blessed. You’re what’s needed the world over. To help correct even small mistakes right away. Turning perceived failures into successes!! 🙏💕With all moving forward with the best way to help everyone! ❤
36:02 my favorite piece so far. Looks almost like an ocean scene
I Appreciate you taking us geode hunting and showing us the cutting!!🤗🎶
Definitely impressive 👏 show of geods, from getting them out of the ground to cutting. They are amazing, awesome, and truly appreciate the video. ❤😊thanking you for sharing their beautiful crystal with in. Thumbs-up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.😅 what a joy.
It’s like watching indie digging and opening a chamber great stuff Dan.
another very cool video. wish I was able to go out into the fields and hunt for my own ya'll look like you were haveing so much fun
Omg, those are beautiful geodes.😮 I enjoy watching your videos. The information you share is a wonderful way to learn about the rocks you cut and what geology of the area your working in.
This is making me want to go on an adventure . Thank you for the motivation .
The amethyst geode that cracked looks like the coolest wave!
Love it when you and Pauly gart together. It's always fun. Xoxoxoxo beautiful stone's. ❤❤❤❤❤
Every one of them so beautiful and unique!
Nice seeing pioneer Pauly out of the water with our favorite prospector!
Dan. Your videos are so much more relaxing when you fly solo.
LOL Paulie and the squirt bottle reminded me of Arsinio Hall and the little gun in Harlem Nights.
Great content, and beautiful agates and geodes. Blessings y’all.
I must have watched a few dozen of your videos now Dan. I thought I have subbed a long time ago but I see I didn't. I have now. Keep living that life brother ✌️
I wish we had places like this in Missouri.
22:18-22:24 I’ve watched over like 10 times I keeping cracking up everytime. What Dan says, then the noise, then paul slipping and putting the equipment down so gracefully and the second noise 😂 just the best
Found some beautiful veins of amy a couple days ago walking the river here in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I was visiting my brother in Fintry a few weeks ago and just missed the fair in Rock Creek! I did get a chance to head out into the bush just south of the Barnes placer area but had to turn back at a waterfall before reaching Barnes Creek. I panned around Cherryville, Kettle and the goat in Creston. Lots of pits filled, fill your holes people.
MTO was essential and useful. I prefer it to the MLAS we have here in Ontario.
Those banded one looks like an ocean scene with storm clouds. I love those
Hey Dan new here but wanted to say thanks! I have always loved what you do but with kids, family and now just not physically able to dig.
So! Thanks for taking us on your adventures and sharing all the cool gems and what not you uncover. It's a lot of fun.
Pauly.... Guy cracks me up... I can see you're the teacher Dan, and Pauly is just like "that" student every teacher encounters sooner or later. The combo is damn funny to watch, and very entertaining. Great video thank you.
Your videos are always so much fun! Thank you.
Love the attention to safety with the steel toed sandals.
Every time I watch a video from you I am learning something new about a subject I absolutely love! You really create top content Mr. Hurd.
The Yellow Stone river area around Sidney, MT. has some of the best Montana Agate resources in the State. I found many great transparent agates with their beautiful art forms inside.
I love how you all play nice together🎉
Nice looking rocks you guys found.
Greetings from the BIG SKY. Sure reminds me of digging up potatoes in my garden.
That one looks like a stormy sky over water very nice excellent video awesome content thank you for sharing this six stars
You sure do find the most amazing gems and beautiful stones on your claims.
Dan I enjoy your trips and prospecting. Cool things you do. Be safe end Enjoy.
Your an awesome teacher I love your videos thank you
Dan,
I saw the mineral collection at the Museum of Natural History in New York City, many moons ago.
Nature's minerals and gems are amazing.
What's more amazing is the way they were formed and the Geology it took to create them.
Thank you Professor for enlightening us:)
Cheers,
Frederick "Rik" Spector
Man,those discarded ones that you discovered in the beginning look pretty cool,too!
Those are stunning. I live in Vermont and we have some great rocks and minerals, really beautiful ones, but I have yet to find any that take my breath away like these did.
Fantastic video Diamond Dan!!!
Luved those crystal/amethyst centers. Just nature amazing me. Thanks guys.
Really well put together video Dan! Awesome:) pauly spraying with water lol perfect group of guys. Good chemistry!
They are so beautiful
You are decent to not get to upset about someone jumping your claim but to me it still comes down to the principal and morals.... I love that people are interested or fans of gems & gold
but if they would ASK there may be a chance you might let them explore for a time... It's all about RESPECT for another man's property.... Great video as always Dan.!!! Also, HI PAULY & friends.!!!
😁👍
Now this would be another story on one of his gold claims ;)
I felt the same way, being non-aggresive is a Canadian trait, a good thing but puzzling to me as an American.
Respect Hell, claim jumpers got a lead dessert in them olden days ..:)
What a great videos to watch while doing my manicure 💅😁😂❤ mean while the boys with no gloves 🧤 living the fun life.
Nice rocks! Nice video! I'm kind of surprised i didn't see anyone using hearing protection, those saws will cause damage over time!!
Hearing protection? I was more concerned about the flip flops! 😱
@@marionmclean3749 missed that one, nice catch!!! agree 100%
Dan with the historical prospectors beard will be taking me a long!.... 🏔️✌️🤘💎🤠
I enjoy watching your videos any video I have seen I enjoy it.
This was a fun video. I really enjoyed the GLOTD, too.
Dan have you ever tried to tumble some of the smaller agates and make them polished and shiny as opposed to looking like dirty rocks? Or would the outsides not get as pretty as the insides? Still very cool! thanks for sharing!
Went to a rock show at China Lake and took a field trip to Rainbow Ridge, an outcrop of Jasper and Agate. Made belt buckles out of that beautiful 75 pounds of rock I shipped home.
Hello, this is my great friend 👍⛏️
@Danhurd You should try to find a little pewter surfer and glue it into that amethyst geode with the curl on top. Make it look like an amethyst pipe rider.
Those Japanese safety boots the boys are wearing are great😅
I love the chaos pauly brought to this episode.
I really enjoyed watching this,thank you Dan .
it's actually the Basalt that is abigloydial and the agates and other things form inside of the pockets. you get geodes, solid quartz filled, and lots more only depending on the minerals present. The ones i get from lake superior can have chlorite, feldspar, copper, silver, chalcedony, chrscolla, epodite or even crazy mixes of any of that. Chlorastrolite (greenstone), the state gemstone is something that froms in the Basalt ambigloyds. I was wondering if you get any included metals like we do?
Also ours come out generally very round and it's still called abigloydial. Also i'm sure i misspelled several things in this post.
Beautiful im learning lots thank u
Thanks for the Instruction 🙏🏽🫶🏽
Beautiful pieces
That rotary hammer sounds like the son of the gun on the A-10 Warthog!
Beautiful wow.
wow, Dan,,, your geodes are world class,,, Lucky guy,,, :-)
I would LOVE to come up from Florida's gulf coast, bring you some of my agatized coral and go hunting for some of your amazing green agates and other pretties!
This is going to be another great Dan hurd video
He is adorable!
That was awesome Dan! Thanks again buddy!
Yoyr neighbours must love this!
Great looking artwork from the ground!
Thank You!))
Thanks again
Hi its Mike and Brooklyn, loved meeting you from the rock creek fall fair!
I love the geodes
My favorite, purple amethyst
Can be found near Keokuk Iowa next to the Mississippi River
Hi Dan 👋👋👋and Pauly 👏👏👏👏
This feels like a fantasy, I know he knows where to look and paid for his claims, but the fact that these beautiful treasures are hidden in dirt and rock it feels unreal. Amethyst is just so stunning.
That looks fun.
Thanks Dan, very neat finds.
This is my favorite part.
best find❤
36:08 That looks like an ocean picture with a SciFi sky.
You guys are just fun.
Nice Johnny Cash reference by the way Dan.!!
😉👍
So beautiful!
@36:04 It looks like a storm at sea picture stone!
Beautiful hollow geode
The sandals cream me up!
All the ground is brown ...on a springtime day. I went for a walk ... found green agates on the way.
I love your Channel 😎 i will have my onw mine to 🤩🤩. Hope you well and healthy Dan greetings 👋😎
I have TRULY enjoyed this hunting... Btw, y'all guys are so funny
Had a good time while watching this
Can't wait for more!!!
I would love you to come to Idaho and show me how and where would be good spots to do this as a family
