Surprising AGATE TREASURE at Graveyard Point! Rockhounding in Oregon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- Graveyard Point agates are famous for the stunning plumes and patterns that can be found in the seams - but I never imagined something like this! Jim and I visited Graveyard Point in Oregon, accompanied by our friend and guide Julie. We explored an area that used to be an agate mine, but has since been abandoned, leaving piles of spoils behind. The traditional agate is thick and plumey, but the pieces we hauled out had something even more special - incredible blues and greens, cemented in matrices of orange and brown. I cut some of the pieces when I got home, and was amazed by the colors and patterns that I found inside the rocks. It just goes to show you - there are SO MANY beautiful rocks!

A lot of beautiful colors, interesting to see how those types of rocks will turn out when you have done your "magic" with them
Wow! How beautiful and unique 😍
Can't wait for cutting and polishing. Beautiful. Lovely rocks! Thanks for taking us along.
The greens are so beautiful and surprising. How awesone that this stuff is just laying around there!!
Oh my Kate, you found some incredible rocks! Graveyard point plume is so distinctive, and anyone who's seen it before, knows when they see it again! It's just gorgeous! And you found some really great pieces! And some wonderful agate! That blue is just awesome! There is literally so much out there that you really, never have to dig to find some gorgeous material! Thank you for taking us to hunt graveyard point plume agate! It's incredible! Thanks Kate❣️
The Conglomerate pieces of Agate are Fabulous. Thanks for sharing..
We always love your show. You really know how to find some great rocks...
Wow! Gorgeous rocks
I miss my Oregon beaches! I have the biggest fist sized chunk of opal I found in Oregon. No rock, just opal. So Oregon coast used to be my stomping yard and I’ll tell you my secret places. Agate beach near Beverly beach is really good. But the cream of the crop is the wayside pull off just north of Heceta Lighthouse. I think it’s mile marker 169. Hike down to the beach and at low tide you’ll find gorgeous fossils and agates and maybe a gorgeous chunk of opal. @Katiedid, this is why I’m still struggling on the Yellowstone. I’m having a hard time recognizing good stones and ages. One of these days, I’ll have to show you my Oregon beauties.
Oh! If you find a flat round or oval sandstone rock, take the time to split it open down the side. They usually open fairly easily with some persistence. Inside you find whole shells and if you’re really lucky there will be a muscle belly, the agatized mollusk. They are stunning.
Hey there! Keep trying on the Yellowstone - pretty soon you'll develop an "eye" for those agates, and then you won't miss the Oregon beaches so much. :)
Another wonderful video.
Very cool looking stuff!
I am so jealous! Only in Montana lol. Such beautiful one of a kind agates! I loved the blues! You all are going to have some amazing cabs! Love Ya All!
That piece at about 7:30 would make an awesome tiny sphere display piece❤
NICE Finds!
That material at 6:27 is beautiful, can't wait to see what you do with it ...
Nice area to hound, isn't it...😎👌
Amazing
Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: Interesting stuff! Very colorful!
Aren't they cool! :)
Another great video! Oregon has all the good stuff. I'm jealous!
It really has a lot!
I liked the one at 4:02!
Goal for Katy Did is 30k subscribers for this year 😮 Soon guy's
:D That's a great goal, fastcarsarecool - but I've found that slow and steady is just as good.
Hey that's my neck of the woods
What a wonderful hunt I learn so much and it starts my week off in the best way I love the blue chalcedony sooo much
Me too!!
I have an aunt that live in Cave Point. I have to visit her out there .
Nice finds!
Thank you. :) It was fun.
👍💯
It looks more like picture rocks when you slab them.
I wonder if it would help to put them in iron out?
Have you experienced any issues with your 10" Covington saw? Any complaints? I'm considering picking one up this year
Hey there! The saw works great, the feed vice is fine. Biggest issue is that changing oil is a huge pain, as there are just two bolts in the front that you're supposed to remove to drain it. We added some copper pipes to make it easier, but it's still kind of a pain.
@@KatyDidRocks Thank you!
