Very good job on your video! You really know your stuff! My grandfather was born in the late 1800s and loved Rock collecting. Back then we called him a rock hound. He had many fascinating pieces in his collection. I know he would have enjoyed hunting and processing stones with you. Keep up the good work and videos.
Hi Dustin, I like the Richardson’s egg the best but both are beautiful. Your video is very interesting I especially like your adherence to “safety first”. Sounds like your dad is an awesome teacher. Keep making your videos they’re wonderful!
My grandma gathered her Eggs all over the Olympic peninsula, Washington state. She had a slab-saw, but her first cut was always with a ball-peen hammer. With the Egg soaking wet, she'd give it a series of moderate taps...the taps formed the Equator of the break. She'd tap away, dunking the Egg in a bucket of sea-water if it wasn't dripping, until it started to 'sound hollow'. They'd open right up, hardly any edge-crumbling. Yes, a fair number of Eggs got pulverized in the process; she called them Rotten. She told us boys that Eggs that survived the hammer were sturdy enough to be sliced into thin slabs! She was getting lots of thin slabs from her Eggs, and they were pretty durable. Agate Beach and many other rocky shore-lines was my playground for the long days of Summer!
Interesting video! I thought both eggs were very beautiful but more than anything it always makes my heart sing to see younger folk interested in something besides gaming. ROCK on, young man! Greetings from Arkansas!
Well done Dustin. Made a subscriber out of me as your video showed up in my feed. You guys have a great setup. Good to see you guys using protective gear. Some dust from cutting, shining rocks can be bad. I really like the Richardson Ranch egg most I think. My grandfather was a rock hound and thus made me one. I usually have full pockets when we go somewhere and pulling on my pants. Glad to see young people getting in the hobby and not sitting there playing video games. Keep on looking down at the ground young man, but don't walk into anything like light posts, don't ask me how I know :D
Thanks for subscribing! I got my parents and some friends into rocks so we are always looking too. I’m planning on doing a video on rock tumbling and collecting rocks soon.
Nice pair of Thundereggs. I also use a high speed sander and buffer combination like you. It's good to see someone from a younger generation interested in the Rockhounding hobby. Do you do any other forms of Lapidary? Faceting? Cabochons? Knapping? Have you ever been out to OMSI Camp Hancock? If so, maybe we've met. I was helping out there until Covid messed it up for everyone. Do you belong to any of the rock clubs in the Portland area? I've been a member of Mt. Hood Rock Club for over 20 years. Hope to see you around at some of the shows.
Thank you! I’m apart of the clackamette mineral and gem club but have had my rocks in other shows. My club just had a show but we were out of town and I missed it. I have never been to omsi camp but it looks fun. I’m sure I will see you around.
@@PetersonNWLiving yes, I drove up to the Clackamette show last week. I was surprised they did not have any display cases of member materials. I bought a few pieces at the Silent Auction. Those will be in a future video of mine. Now that I know you're part of that club, I'll ask around next time I'm at one of their shows.
I like the the uniqueness of the Lucky Strike, with the star like shape inside as well as the cool little color spot in it.
Thundereggs are my favorite rocks because you never know what you will find inside.
@@PetersonNWLiving right?! It's like opening a present!

Enjoyed your video. Where do you find thunder eggs
There are lots of places in central and eastern Oregon but the lucky strike is from Mitchell Oregon and the Richardson is from Madras Oregon.
Where do you find those eggs? Nice video.
The Lucky strike are from Mitchell Oregon and the Richardson is from Madras Oregon.
Good job Dustin its hayne tuckers little brother from kindergarten
Thanks!
Do you sell them? , and where?
I do a small farmers market outside of Portland, Oregon.
Very cool! I didn’t know they had names…how do you know what’s what?
They have different names from the area they are found. Richardson’s is from Madras, Oregon and lucky strike’s are from Mitchell, Oregon.
Lucky Strike all the way.
Thanks!

Great job, you should sell them. Make extra money for college.
Thanks! I sell some at a local farmers market in the summer.
