Hi, Dave came across this on my TV -utube video, my Dad and I visited this area some 50 plus years ago. Amazing to see is still gives out it's wealth! A memorial visit for me , Thanks!!
It was a pleasure hanging out and hounding with you, Dave! Those pieces cleaned up so nicely, I'm excited to seehow mine will look when they're cut and polished.
@@lapidarydave do you have GPS coordinates for this spot? heading down to Barstow with son who wants to rockhound and Kramer Hills looks the most accessible for us. but just not sure where it is.
@@turinreza Hey there my friend I’m sorry I do not have the GPS coordinates but if you look online it’s very easy to financial mission how to get there and no special vehicles are need
Wow awesome dave..thank u for this video and greetings to the big man sweet Jim…you two in a video is just super cool. Love these videos man Hope to see more like this.. Greetings from Cape Town
That's amazing! One of those pieces you found with the tubular structures almost looks like a petrified heart, with the arteries & vena cava. Some of that other stuff looks like the chert I have in my backyard. Cool beans. 👊🏼🐻
Nice Dave. One of my favorite localities to rockhound. Those hills for literally miles are chock full of insane material. Has gold mine history from the late 19th century too. I dig about 5 miles south of the KayTee location. And I had to LOL when you called that one piece root beer. That’s what I call it. It looks like a frothy recently poured root beer! Lots of root and even occasional plume and saginite. I also find Pepperoni Agate.
I didn't get to go to Tucson maybe next show. I'm north west of Tucson about 90 miles. I would like to take you out where I've been finding big petrified, agated stuff, quite beautiful.. These are awesome what you found here in the video., love your channel!
Dave!! A couple years ago I told you about this place, after me and my kids Rockhoundeded their! You found the same stuff I was talking about!!!! Told ya this place is cool 😎
Sweet Jim, you should patent your wedge design or concept because clearly it's a superior construction. Find maybe a business like the one who made that machine and present your tried design to them in a presentation. They could give you a royalty percentage everytime they sale one. You made an improvement to their machine. Surely thats worth something to someone?. Good luck❤
We have a uranium mine in Washington state that isn't active anymore but you can still go to the site and find green/yellow autunite crystals along with other uranium ore. Mt. Spokane in Eastern Washington is where it is. I believe it's a free dig site but bring a Geiger counter with you for identification purposes.😁👍
Where is this field in relation to Kramer JCT? Nice video, Ive known about that area for years but have never gone and would like to. Thanks for sharing
Actually true.. In a way I still understood what Jim meant..he did also say “pls Correct me if I’m wrong” The man Jim is super humble and down to earth💛
Let me try that again. Lol literally in town there are many rockhounding spots that people are just really not knowing about at the same time going to them now is probably a bad idea the tent City people probably don't want to find people looking around there tents for stones and I know where lots of good times and stuff are literally right here in town however probably not a good idea to go to venture that area..... I do know some very awesome native American sites that are just cool to show on RUclips so that would be cool also many places up north towards Barstow for some fire agate hunting.
@@shanecarubbi7864 hey do you by chance have coords for Kee Kay/know if it’s still ok to rockhound on? Trying to take the kids out soon and really want to check it out. Or/and any other cool areas close to that general area?
The Washington state stone is petrified wood I could make you a cabochon of the material for you Feel free to message me if you would like me to make you one
Dave completely off topic from your video I'm trying to find a meteorite necklace from Kenya for my daughter for her birthday. Can you recommend a seller or point me in the right direction to not just be buying resin with rocks in it please😬😊
@@lapidarydave yes! I found some on Etsy but they look more like clear green crystals in resin. They are around like $50 nothing big. But her father is from Kenya and I let her read the metaphysical properties about this meteorite and I knew she had to have it! I'll never get it by her birthday Saturday but she understands shipping takes time. And that her mom is broke😊🤣
@@lapidarydave sorry I didn't really answer the question. Just a simple pendant that could be hung on a cord or small chain, nothing fancy, she's a pretty simple little lady!
Oh and the reason they say common opal not opalite is because of the man made opalite, so to not confuse them they call it common opal😉 but we can clearly see you guys find these beauty's 🤤🤩😍

Thanks Dave. One of my favorite spots. Love to see it on here, hate to see it on here.
Good stuff . From field to lab and the journey between . Strangers stopping strangers , to shake each others hands.
BTW. The light green opal and reddish agate is called pistachio agate.
Dave!! A couple years ago I told you about this place, after me and my kids Rockhoundeded their! You found the same stuff I was talking about!!!! Told ya this place is cool 😎
Dang that’s so awesome
I need to get a drivers license to go more places you recommend

sweet jim passed away in october 🥺🥺🥺

Awesome I love radioactive minerals I need to get a good dagger Counter
Do we really have rocks in the USA with dangerous levels of radiation? I mean I know but to lick rocks🤣🤣🤣 but I'm unsure of the radiation stuff😬
I meant not to lick rocks🤦♀️🤣
Subscribed! Hooked on this channel! Added plus: Dave sounds like Badger from Breaking Bad! So adorable ☺️
lol thank you so much my friend
@@lapidarydave You just keep being you, because your kindness and good vibes shine through even on video… luv ya!
@@MickeyV2010 thank you so much for your kind words :)
Is that all free land you can explore and find rocks on? Or is it private property?
Where is this field in relation to Kramer JCT? Nice video, Ive known about that area for years but have never gone and would like to. Thanks for sharing
I’m sorry I do not know but you could connect with the victor, Valley gym and mineral club. They could help you out for sure.
Opalite is the name for a synthetic opal.
It is now however that material is relatively new to the market compared to the name it which was used before that blue yellow glass
Actually true..
In a way I still understood what Jim meant..he did also say “pls Correct me if I’m wrong”
The man Jim is super humble and down to earth💛
You ever find out anything on the westvirgina piece for me
28:33 that piece tho🤩
No Opalite here
Only real opal in this video🧡
Looks like my backyard
LDG, looks like you had a fun day with some good folks! That place looks desolate.
*Gotta lick those rock huh? Ok…
Yummmmmmmmm
Hmmmn this yellow one taste like chikn… whacha say?… Uranium?!…ah well, build up the immunities, oh yeah!
Ehhh… Nukes are fake anyhow -
I have stones like that.
And then I have stones much finer and then finer still.

Where is this site???
I actually do know some of the history of the area!
Can you share the knowledge here in chat :) I will tag the comment so everyone can read it 💎

How do I find out what stones that I have. I found on a gravel road.
You could join a rock identification group on Facebook
I love to rockhound but not with all the people!! We like to surface mine
I love the people personally:)
@@lapidarydave I didn't mean it like that I just mean all the noise and everything.
👍👍👍👍👍👍❤🇻🇳
Thank you so much my friend
I put this piece down and lost it... 😅
Do you know where I can get a cabashawn made in the State I live in or can you do it I need one made of westvirgina state
Sure what is the state stone?
The Washington state stone is petrified wood I could make you a cabochon of the material for you
Feel free to message me if you would like me to make you one
