- Kate, Jim and Kava hit the gravel on the Yellowstone River for some spring rockhounding. Unfortunately, April has been looking more like January in eastern Montana, and a snowstorm is on its way. The day is gray, but the rocks are colorful, and any day on the river is a good day. Come along!

Spring brings beautiful rocks. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for braving the bitter cold to take us along rockhounding!
I am glad you enjoyed it!
As always, thanks for letting us tag along. That snow headed north, and east, fortunately and we only got ~2/3 of what you received. Southern MB hasn't been so fortunate; they're getting more today/tomorrow.
The storms this month have been crazy.
All pretty rocks and I agree,any day on the river is a good day!
:)
FUN!
:)
Hunting for agate in the river, even though the weather is cold, you are great my friend
:)
Kate you have the best adventures.this was a great video. I really like when you show some of your finds cut in the same video. Very cool😎
Glad you enjoyed! :)
Great finds even though it was super cold. My hat's off to you for going anyhow and getting your hound on! I thought it was particularly funny that you don't trust the 'waterproofing' of your boots. I agree fully, nothing worse than wet feet on a cold day! Thanks for bringing us along, cheers!
These were so cool, what amazing finds today. Thanks for taking us along with you on your journey, I really appreciate it. The Yellowstone is the one place I would move to besides staying here in MI!
MI is one place I would like to visit - so many beautiful rocks!
@@KatyDidRocks definitely nice upnorth
Rock hounding is highly addictive as you already know Katy
Thanks, Nic!
Wowowow!!! Fabulous finds!! What a great hunt! 💯😃🙌🏼
Thanks!
❤ Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Wow. What a nice piece of unakite! Nice trip!
Thanks!
You know it’s cold when the dog calls it quits🤣🤣🤣 thanks for getting out there. It looked like fun.
LOL, right? It's always worth it, though.
You have a dog that appreciates your lifestyle
She is my adventure partner, for sure!
Burrrrr. Pretty finds! 😍
Thank you!
Thank you 🇺🇸 😊 🙏 I loved 😍 it.
Thanks, Gunny!
So call me crazy…
Great finds!
You are crazy? :D
🙃
I love watching your videos Kate. My favorite find was that 1st bumpy layered nodule that looked "flattened" on the way back to the car. Warm up. happy hunting
It took me quite a while to get warm again after that - I suspect I was colder than I realized. :D
@@KatyDidRocksi n the winter,and early spring I usually have snotcicles before I go home 😆 I always hafta start mt jeep so the steering wheel and seat are warm.
Great rock hunt.
Definitely not nuts 😂😂😂😂
You found some nice rocks.
I went out today on one of my favourite rivers, I thought the water was cold, but not as cold as where you were.
The river is magic.
Those finds were awesome! The yellowstone has the best material! and so plentiful! I hope to make it to montana this summer! cant wait to see some of those beauties cut! Hopefully you didnt freeze your hands too bad, and it should be warming up soon!
Your the best Lisa!
Yep, the snow is melting as we speak. :)
@@CityRockhounding thank you nicolas!
I'll be traveling to Miles City this September and staying at the Big Sky RV Park in Miles City.
Gosh, that much snow in one day??🤔😮💨Good you went out the day before👍👍
It was a very unusual storm - I was not pleased. :)
What kind of people? Th best kind of people!
LOL!
Thank you for sharing your cold weather rockhounding adventure. It might be crazy to do, but it's the best to get out to our spots and look after ice out. The coldest I've hunted in was in November along the U.P. Michigan's western shores of Lake Superior at night looking for Yooperlites. It was crazy, but so much fun. Take care!
That DOES sound icy! It's always worth it. :)
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Just ordered you book! Cant wait to receive it!
Awesome! Thank you!
I saw a red jasper... jim finally got a nice pet wood. Is the milk agate kind of bluish? Our lapidary has stuff that was donated and very little is bluish milk agate. That seems appealing to me.
"Milk agate" is just lingo for an agate that has impurities in it. They are also called "mud agates," but that seems harsh to me. :)
@@KatyDidRocks I guess I didn't get all my words out. Is it a white with bluish undertones.. the milk term makes me feel like that's part of it. Some of the white agates have black dendritic material and is interesting.
You cut something that what mixture of white, yellow and translucent, you said that wasn't as interesting.. was that a milk agate?
Leave some beauties for me :) I just booked my flight for June 9th-12th to make my first rockhounding trip to Montana! I have no idea where to go or how to get to the gravel bars but I’m determined lol if you have any advice or wanna give me tips or even meet up that would make a dream come true for me :)
Wow, Robbi, that's great! The river may be high at that time, but there are lots of places to look for rocks while the river is high.
Under the Coastal Protection Act 1949, the removal of any natural material such as sand and pebbles and rocks from public beaches or rivers in the UK is illegal. Doh!
That's wild! I just looked up these guidelines: jollyexplorer.com/taking-pebbles-from-beach/. I'm wondering how the mudlarkers and fossil hunters manage...
KatieI truly enjoy your videos. I am not new to collecting rocks but new to learning what rocks are what material. Can you please tell me the sprayer you use. Is it USB charged or battery?? Thanks. Jane
Hi, Jane, thanks! The sprayer is battery operated - there's a link in the description below the video. I really like it!
@@KatyDidRocks just wondering do you live out West by Yellowstone River?
