    Great finds. That fourth biscuit almost looks like some fossils in it

      Thanks for watching! It would be awesome to find a fossil in one of the rocks but unfortunately that area is not likely to produce any considering it just about all igneous. But you never know…..

    Отличная прогулка. Как просто у Вас искать образцы, а у нас в Московской области одна глина толщиной метров 15 и ничего не найти. Поздравляю с находками. Машина тоже отличная. Судя п растительности это уже почти пустыня, у нас такое практически невозможно ,только в на самом юге.

    I'll be visiting my son at Ft Bliss in El Paso and would love to go somewhere to hound. I'm from SC so I know little about West hounding (went to Rockhound State Park in Jan and had no clue what I was doing) . I've enjoyed your West Texas vids and am hoping I can find somewhere to go that's been as full of treasures as the places you've gone. My OCD fights me to know exactly what I have in my hands but watching you enjoy what you have whether you know exactly what it is or not has freed me some. (Usually you know exactly) I'm using a Dremel for polishing (I've just begun cutting and polishing) and it takes forever but one step at a time. My wet tile saw gets the job done so can't complain there. You have found so many amazing things and I love watching your slabbing videos. Keep hounding!!!!! 😊😊😊

    My favorite spot in southern Utah went about the same as this for one day but for some reason I don’t have the same luck. I’m jealous you’re finding so much good stuff!

    • @spwinaustin

      I’ve heard great things about hounding in Utah! I lived there in the 70’s but was not into rocks 😞. Thanks for watching!

    What ever creates that moss color also creates the jasper. Wish i understood the
    mineralization to understand the creation of these agates! either or, great video and i want to go!!!

    • @spwinaustin
      @spwinaustin  7 месяцев назад

      I’m in the same boat, I definitely need to better educate myself when it comes to rocks 😏.

    Glad you made it there! It will be fun watching you cut them😊. Now the challenge is figuring out the best way to cut them🤔

    • @spwinaustin
      @spwinaustin  7 месяцев назад

      It’s overwhelming to think about so I’m just going to play it by ear and hope for the best 😁.

    How do you get permission to rockhound on skunk hill??? My wife & I will be in Alpine next week

    • @spwinaustin
      @spwinaustin  20 дней назад

      There are local guides who have permission from the landowner to take groups out for rock hounding. I think we Aaron Thomas who can be found on Facebook via the group Texas Rockhounds.

    Find any projectile points?

    • @spwinaustin
      @spwinaustin  7 месяцев назад +1

      No, but another hounded showed me a piece that they believed was hand worked. I generally don’t look for artifacts but I would certainly love to find one.
