I hope you all enjoyed this adventure and scoopy-cam! Let me know what you thought 👍 don't miss our latest video showing a bunch of phenomenal crystals! ruclips.net/video/tnx_0G1xbCE/видео.html
Hi again TAYLOR A couple of dandies this time. Oh that amethyst yay! Enjoy the underwater pics. Love that beautiful beach that keeps on giving lol!! Thx as always for sharing. Stay safe and warm! Catcha next hunt...
Wow! Scoopy Cam is a GAME CHANGER! Scoopy is a proving to be a true big rock hunter and attacks its unsuspecting prey with the vigor and fortitude of a great white shark! That ameythst agate is to be truly treasured - what an awesome find on the North Shore!
Another cool video!! We hav a lil summer cabin in Brainerd. My wife has always wanted to go to Duluth. I can hav her drop me off on sum beach and she can go sightseeing. Lol !! We just retired and moved to mount Ida Arkansas. Quartz capital of the world they say . We moved here for the fishing and scenic beauty of the mountains . We used to live in Illinois, I found lots of geodes and fossils there ! Sure do like walking beaches and streams way more than diggin in tailings piles down here. 😎
Fun video!!! Scoopy can is fantastic!!! It’s great watching the find in action, but the sounds are amazing!! Seeing the lake, hearing the underwater sound, the sound of the rocks moving underwater...it’s a whole peaceful, rock hounding zen moment!!!! Love it!!💜
That was a great video, love the amethyst chunk! That last big glassy moss agate was amazing too! I really love them all honestly. I like that you show a variety and not just agates.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Scoopy Cam!!! This really helped me further with preparing for my trip to Thunder Bay this summer with my kiddos as in Ontario most of our beaches along Lake Superior don't allow you to pick rocks up off the beach but in the water they are fair game. Your videos really help with learning what I need to look for. Thank you for awesome video, beautiful finds, especially the amethyst, and I look forward to your future videos
Holy cow!!! I can't believe the luck you have at my favorite beach!!! Scoopy cam is awesome, Scoopette is so jealous but she is is so glad that she isn't the only one that has pick up issues! Great video, awesome finds, that amethyst is AWESOME!
Loved the scoopy cam. Love the gorgeous Ameythest ❤️ So many pretty rocks to find there, there were lots of the lovely quartzy ones that I thought were lovely, then you threw them back 😂😂😂.
I loved the Mr Scoopy cam. I recently got a Scoopy also and found that scooping up rocks takes some fenagling, especially when there's a current. Lol... Nice to know that it wasn't just me. Thanks for taking us along. Blessings
You certainly have a knack for great finds. I live in Superior, AZ actually was named after the Lake Superior mining company in the late 1890. There were actual physical ties to Lake Superior in some way. Nice fire agate here too. I'm learning from your vids. The high definition work is done very well, thanks for sharing!
Man I have so missed your videos. The shorts are cool and all but you are always just too funny and I love seeing how excited you get over the great and even not so great finds. Love your Minnesota pudding stones that is hilarious. Do you find pudding stones there? I cant remember. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I love the scoopie cam! Makes it even better and fun to watch. I look forward to future scoopie cams. Also so jealous of that amethyst! It was so beautiful! What an amazing find. (:
Love your videos! Helping me learn the names of all the different kinds of rocks! Plus, I love the north shore, as us Minnesotans say, "You are in God's Country!". Thanks for taking us along with you! 😊
The scoopy cam was a great idea! After watching you struggle to pick up a rock, I'm kind of glad I didn't buy one of those scoopers. My spoon on a stick is a little easier to operate. I think it helps that the spoon is sort of pointy. I usually attack the rocks with the end of the spoon rather than coming at it from the side like you do. The downside of my rock scoop is that the spoon bends if I pick up something too big. The other one I made at the same time eventually broke where I bent it. I don't like to correct you, but as a guy who lives in a town that was once known as the cement capital of the world because we produced more than anywhere else, I think I should tell you that your Minnesota puddingstone is concrete, not cement. The cement is the part between the aggregate that holds everything together.
@@AgateDad I still say cement instead of concrete sometimes. My father in law worked at the cement plant in town and I also taught part time at our community college where there is a concrete tech program. I've been corrected enough times that I should know better.
@Michigan Rocks, I use an old metal ice fishing skimmer on a dollar store broom handle. Works GREAT - so well that my rock hunting partner made one for himself.
I was oh my goshin right along with u! Nice assists scoopy. Always carry a pocket shopping bag(you know...those girly packable Keychain ones😉) just in case
So,,the amethyst maybe came from Thunder Bay amethyst deposits??? Beauty!! We get some of hour Superior agate from glacial till down here in S.W. Iowa...! I LOVE ROCKHOUNDING!! Still learning how to locate places to bunt with permission...have to find some first right? Hubby and I went up some of the coastal route in MN. Looming for a public access to some beaches to bunt, but don't find any..:-( I'm used to collecting rocks in Maine when I lived there. Out here much different. Would LOVE to collect some amethyst at Thunder Bay Canada...maybe some day! Great, refreshing video AG!!! 🤗😇👍🙋
There's amethyst formations here in Minnesota too I believe, ive heard about it but everyone's pretty hush hush on the location. As far as spots, there are a ton of spots to just pull off and it's public.
@@AgateDad Really?! Must be further up from Split Rock? We drove up after visiting Duluth but didn't notice any signs for public access.. I would have loved for hubby and I to Beach comb and take tons of pix! Beautiful land and waterscapes! In fact,,some of that drive reminded me of eastern Down East Maine where I lived.. Duluth area is or was like one of Americas best kept secret..not over crowded! Really enjoyed the area! Have to make an effort to get up that way and further ..Oh Gooseberry Falls was awesome goo, even though there wasn't much flowing thru. The visitors building is fantastic! Long drive from here...like 10hrs or so.. All The best! Be safe out there!! Will be enjoying your videos!😁👍🙋
Hi Taylor, once again some great looking pieces of agate & Jasper. I just noticed something interesting at 1:33, when you brought up that beech worn a date, sitting on the handle above it was what looked like a mauve coloured rock, it looks like it is covered in dots or is it just a play of light. Another interesting video with some diverse finds. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin.
Wonderful specimens "Dad". From your home page, I can affirm there is nothing better than raising little rockhounds. I am looking forward to my grandchildren being rockheads but it will have to be their parents that teach them since grandpa is too old and unhealthy to collect any longer. A possible tip on the Gem Scoop....er.... Scoopie. Tip the handle forward just a bit. For some reason, since the leading curved edge is sharper than the sides, the rocks "stick" to it a bit easier. I'm sure the water has an effect. When I was still able to collect I used my Gem Scoop A LOT.... but being in the desert I didn't have to deal with water; just sand.
Sweet Scoopy cam!! I love being able to see them underwater. Awesome finds, definitely some beauties. I'm sad you threw back that rock at 2:14 it looked like some beautiful jasper. I could be wrong though
scoopy cam is awesome .....but!!! ergonomically speaking ... IMO you could do well with a wider scoop . Cool finds !! Newer to rockhounding here . scoopy cam gave me the best look so far ! Thanks !
I wonder if there's a way to have a live feed from the Go Pro. That way you can keep it under for a longer period of time while watching the feed while wading. All you would need to do is insulate the Go Pro, keeping the lens clear. I bring this up because there's a lot that it hard to distinguish w/ the rippling water leaving shadows on the lake bed edges. Another thought, wonder how well one of the grabbers on a pole would work (not suggesting Scoopy retires [wouldn't put that thought in yours or {his?} head])? Just another tool in your arsenal for finding specimens (can sling it on your back for easy carrying). Another great vid. One last question, does the lake ever heat up enough to not be freezing, where you won't be worried about possible damage through cold temperatures?
It might have a warm day, but typically cold. I have thought of other..ideas..and others touched on it, may have to try to it out this summer.. it'll be so ridiculous that you won't miss it haha
Great video! Since Scoopy is all thumbs, you might consider using a grabber/reacher. I've used one with great success when rock hunting. And I think you should be able to transfer over the Scoopy cam!
Hi, I just recently found your channel via the channel of 2 sweet ladies (mother and daughter) called the Northern Mudlurkers. They recomended your channel when they did a video about agates. I enjoy your channel very much! By the way, I wanted to highly recommend you to buy yourself a *metal detecting scoop.* The item has a long handle, and looks like a very small bucket with holes and it is made of metal. 🤔 I think it may help more with picking up the rocks, or I can be wrong.
I found a very large agate embedded in amygdaloidal rhyolite in the Porcupine Mountains a week ago, 4 hr hike from car. It was too heavy for me to carry out so I left it for others to enjoy.
here in ohio we would love to have some of the things you throw away.we have fossils but very little stone you can polish.you could sell the stones you do not want .
I hope you all enjoyed this adventure and scoopy-cam! Let me know what you thought 👍 don't miss our latest video showing a bunch of phenomenal crystals! ruclips.net/video/tnx_0G1xbCE/видео.html
Scoopy will go down in history!
Absolutely!
Scoopy doopy doooo!!
🎵😅
Scoopy cam for the win! 5 mins of that underwater viewing over the rocks would be lovely on your Ambience channel ;)
Aaaah! Maybe I can throw my gopro underwater for a while???
Wow dear...super vídeo and Stones beautfil.
Thank you! Cheers!

Awesome ❤
I absolutely love Scoopy cam best thing ever well done for thinking of that I love him going in the water.so cool 😎 x
Scoopy Cam! Yasss! We loved that. Great finds!!
At 5:55 there’s a mischievous smile face on that white with black stone. It’d make for an interesting and whimsical cab set as a pendant.
I saw that too!!
Good ol' Scoopy, a great sidekick and helper! I enjoy seeing him in your videos 😊
Scoopy cam was awesome, keep doing it!!
Scoopy-cam was awsome Taylor xxx 👍👍👍
Thanks!
Love the Scoopy cam! Wow great finds!

Yes, enjoying very much. Dreaming myself that hunting such beuatiful rocks along with you and holding the scoop of yours.
So glad to have you along on these adventures ❤
Fun video!!! Scoopy can is fantastic!!! It’s great watching the find in action, but the sounds are amazing!! Seeing the lake, hearing the underwater sound, the sound of the rocks moving underwater...it’s a whole peaceful, rock hounding zen moment!!!! Love it!!💜
That amethyst one is nice scoopy for the win👍
Heck yeah!!
Scoop shows the rocks really good. Love it. Have a great day.

Love the scoopy cam, but man is he a clumsy scoop! Scoopy really is ALL THUMBS.
That was a great video, love the amethyst chunk! That last big glassy moss agate was amazing too! I really love them all honestly. I like that you show a variety and not just agates.
OMG you had a stupid killer day at the beach. Even that red jasper was a keeper, and I would usually throw those back. Wow😎
Yeah it was ridiculous!!

I loved the scoopy cam. Please use it again!
That's really neat to see the rocks underwater with scoopie. Must have been a challenge to get some of the rocks.
Love the scoop cam. Love the adventures. Thank you
So glad!
Scoopy cam is pretty sweet!
What a day! The fact that you go the extra mile and add the scoopy cam text with the red dot is why your videos are great. Awesome video 👍
Holy cow!!! I can't believe the luck you have at my favorite beach!!! Scoopy cam is awesome, Scoopette is so jealous but she is is so glad that she isn't the only one that has pick up issues! Great video, awesome finds, that amethyst is AWESOME!
It's been tge best spot this year! Found my 1.2 pounder there, my carnelian beauty! Ugh.. how can it NOT be your favorite spot?!?! It's mine too lol

So cool to see scoopy getting scoopy snacks in his natural environment 😋
Looks like he's been eating well.
Happy hunting
Ragnar ❤ scoopy cam! Awesome amethyst score!
Thanks bud!! I gotta get back to your email btw🤘🤘
@@AgateDad No rush, Ragnar has some fishing to do!

amazing finds! every let another dad and kids tag along?.......
I'd be happy to pick if timing worked out!
This gives me some great ideas for shelling in the Gulf, Taylor! Lol
Awesome!
Sweet Scoopy cam!! I love being able to see them underwater. Awesome finds, definitely some beauties. I'm sad you threw back that rock at 2:14 it looked like some beautiful jasper. I could be wrong though
It was, it just wasn't good enough for me to put in my pocket haha it was interesting though!
I’m. It sure it’s the best solution, but I got a huge expendable cat liter stick for our “Scoopy”. He hairs can cover large areas.
Love you viewa
I like it!!
6:28 wet beautiful! Greetings 🍀
🤘
Notification squad let’s goooo lol. Can’t wait to see what you you find!
Such a good haul!
scoopy cam is awesome .....but!!! ergonomically speaking ... IMO you could do well with a wider scoop . Cool finds !! Newer to rockhounding here . scoopy cam gave me the best look so far ! Thanks !
Yeah maybe, water is water and will still move the material around lol either way it all works
scoopy cam is cool
The only thing missing was the Evil Morty theme when you finally pulled the rock out of the water and it fell back in.
Hahah yeah that was ridiculous

Keep the scu... hmm was that scoopie or scubi cam .Doesn't matter cuz it works. Nice to see below the waterline!

More scoops cam, pls
5:53. How bout that smiley face 😅
Right!
Hope the frogg togs waders work this may!
Did you get some?
Yeah last October searching paradise beach in swim trunks hurt after awhile 😂
First!? What! Ha!
Dude no way! I’m only half way through and these rocks are GORGEOUS!!!! Amethyst!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha rookie on it quick! Yeah it was a wild time!
Dude that was rad, I reckon Scoopy Cam is a sweet idea! I loved it!
Thanks bud!
Hey rockdad, that amethyst piece, is there a way to get the host rock off it? It would look tremendous!
Maybe with a scribe but idk really lol
I heard the Minnesota pudding stone referred to as "Portland conglomerate" and that's nerdy enough to be funny.
Hi We Love your videos but may I ask what the scoopy is and how I can get one ?
here in ohio we would love to have some of the things you throw away.we have fossils but very little stone you can polish.you could sell the stones you do not want .
👍
Wonder if the purple would be darker inside
I had the same thought, I reckon you’re on to somethin there B 😉👌
Possible! Maybe I can cut into it to expose some inner purple goodness!
Official name is cement! Best rock hounding comment period. Lmao
Hahah I actually found one once, wayyyy back when, and sent a picture to someone... "cement"... lol
We’re did you purchase your scoop. I can’t find them? Thank-you.
Kingsleynorth.com
Thank you so much.
You need a metal spaghetti scooper
what's the tool called agate dad?
