  • Lets head to a new rockhounding spot in beautiful Wisconsin! I had a blast while out exploring this river to see what different treasures can be found, this was a spur of the moment rockhounding adventure, I saw it had open river banks that were lacking snow and had exposed rock, and couldn't help myself! So happy to have good weather while mineral hunting in early spring and very glad to bring you all with as usual.

      I don't want to invade you spots, so I won't ask where you were but can you tell me what river you were in? Alot of times while I'm in the rivers I have been finding quarts on the large gray rocks that are piled under the bridges.

    Hi again TAYLOR
    Enjoyed being out in Wisconsin for a bit! Especially the sound of the river gives all hope spring is on the way.
    Thinking by the look of the rocks there that it probably isn't an agate spot. You can usually tell as agate areas have a look which is hard to describe but guess learned and felt. Other goodies though that looked quite nice.
    Thx as always and catcha next time.

    I think what you're calling jasper at the start might be rhyolite , or possibly sandstone. The clearly layered ones that are kinda dull are probably sandstone (I see it blends into jasper on a piece). 8:28 your fav I think is rhyolite.
