  • The river holds many treasures, and Kate brings home a backpack full. From amazing agatized wood to awesome agates, the river never fails to disappoint. Kate even finds a piece of jasper that is in red, yellow, orange and green!

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  4 года назад +1

      Yes, actually, I slab wood often. And here's a secret- I left that one behind because it was kinda plain. :D Thanks for watching...

    You could always send me some petrified wood. I can’t seem to find any here in Minnesota. I keep picking up stuff I think must be wood and then ask a geologist here in town and so far they have always been “nope” it’s not. I will keep looking

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  4 года назад

      Yep, keep looking - you'll find it! Here is an interesting web site I found regarding Minnesota petrified wood. Research and more research will help improve your hunts: petrifiedwoodmuseum.org/PrecambrianMinnesotaUSA.htm

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  4 года назад +1

      Thanks, CR. I would say each hunt is 2-3 hours, depending on where it is. This one takes half an hour or so to hike in, so that extends the time.

  • @patsbeads
    @patsbeads 4 года назад +1

    Love this video.. I have been picking up some rocks that I have been thinking, “ agate or not agate.. don’t know what it is” and this video had some that are very similar, so it makes me very hopeful that when I get mine cut I will have some as nice as the one you show cut into slabs..
    We have an amphibious vehicle so we are going to go exploring on some areas that might be less accessible for hiking in. Hope we find some extra special finds..
    thanks for the wonderful video. Loved all of the rocks..(who wouldn’t.....lol) but that jasper is really special.

    Katy, awesome rocks! What was that super round rock right about 8:13 next to the petrified wood you picked up, about the 2 0'clock position? I liked the color and the roundness. Don't say you won't pick up anymore petrified....we all know that is NOT going to happen. LOL
    Your dog looks as happy to play out there as you look finding those jaspers! Great video!

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  4 года назад

      I don't know what that rock is - some kind of colored quartzite, maybe? It is pretty cool, though. Yeah, I need to stop saying I'm not going to pick up petwood, because we all know I will.

    I don’t understand how you have so much wood there I would think Montana winters are harder than here in Mn

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  4 года назад

      Montana used to be wet and tropical. Additionally, there are 27 different petrified forests stacked on top of each other in the Yellowstone area, so there is an abundance of petrified wood coming down the river. Also, Minnesota definitely has harder winters - at least usually. :) I lived in both Thief River Falls and Moorhead, and can speak from experience.

    I enjoy looking at your videos. You do find a lot of petrified wood that is my favorite. I just started and I found a few pieces right here in Billings. I can’t wait till spring so I can go look for some more.
    What do you do with all your stones?

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  3 года назад

      I can't resist a good piece of petrified wood. I have a slab saw, and my husband makes cabochons for me, but I haul so many home that many of them just hang out with their friends. :D

    I would save an area such as this for a rainy day, now not a stormy river raising day. A day Eyore would say" Oh Bother" Rock hounds would say "oh heck ya"
    Also same goes for over picked cleaner areas, rain will allow you to see second level rocks and they will of been all sprayed from the cloud bottle in the sky. When looking for desirable rocks that are below the first level of rocks it's so very important to stop and be so very conscious of going so slow. The good news is that the heaviest rocks tend to end up at the bottom of a layer of rocks when the high water shakes them up like a cup of dice all winter long.
    So go out there. stop look and listen and more often than not you will find gems that will make whomever picked over the top level very jealous. Now go buy Kati's book , after reading that, forget this horrible advice from this hack. Use the book for locations identification and most importantly learn to be in wonder of the most wonderful things we see most every day but usually dont take the time to enjoy. GoGetyasum always remember to share the extra you have. Hunter gatherers care about the land more than most any other group. Sorry but I do have to add to take as extra bag. Now fill it with trash and pack it out.Now for the days there isnt any trash to be found, thos is the day you fill it up with gems and send it to me. Thank you, thank you very much.
    Ok ok one last thing, if you cant get out Kati sells some greast rocks and such online. I don't know her so the only reason I am plugging is because i have purchased and been very happy.
