  • Kate, Jim and Kava head out on their boat to rockhound for agates on Montana's Yellowstone River. It's a perfect fall day, the sun is shining and the rocks are glowing, having been recently washed off by heavy rains. The agates are so plentiful that in some spots, Kate picks them up every couple steps! The adventure also includes beautiful drone footage (and Kava chasing her favorite toy), incredible agatized wood, colorful jasper and several unusual rocks that still have matrix attached to the silica. Put it all together, and it adds up to the perfect rock hunt. Come along!

    So envious and shocked at how much beautiful stuff you find. I find it funny when you start to get bummed out when you have a few minutes of not finding anything. I can go days without finding one decent rock.

      The bucket is made by a company named Broll. It is now out of business. I'm working with a guy to try to get new ones on the market - if it comes through, I'll let folks know in a video.
