Nice views from the drone. Wow, those mounds are so strange. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Wow. Never heard of the scablands until you had mentioned them in another video. Fascinating! And odd. And lovely.
It's an amazing landscape.
Great use of your drone! So awesome to see all those features from the air.
Thank you, I've been trying to get better with it, these things have quite the learning curve.
Super nice drone work!
Thank you!
Hadn’t heard of the mounds before. Cool. Nice footage too 😎
Thank you!
Nice video. Love the drone footage!
Thank you.
Beautiful area! Super interesting geology!!
Thank you, its a great area.
Nice video, perfect day to fly the drone it seems.
Thank you, this really was a great day for it as the wind was hardly blowing at all.
That drone footage is grate
Thank you!
I've seen the PBS program on how the areas formed. The power of water is truly incredible.
Its sure is.
Very very interesting!
Thank you!
Randall Carlson has done some amazing work that confirms and expands on what your talking about and then you share some wonderful new to me information 👍👍 awesome job
I'm a fan of Randall Carlson, the only downside to his work is I think its a little much for some people to digest at first and I wanted to make the quick and dirty cliffnotes version here to point at in conversation in the future.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding I totally understand and agree great work 👍👍
Loved that video thank you for sharing your knowledge! I'm just learning about rocks and minerals but my love of them is beyond! I struggle leaving rocks on the ground they are all something special! Just the work and time that went into them forming is amazing and I don't even really know how they form haha! You can just tell it's so much time and it's amazing to me! Sorry I'm so enthusiastic I just LOVE this new Hobbie I wish I could find a something to do w geology job!
Hello Angie! Well I have a boat load of videos here that I think you would like! Where abouts in the world do you live?
Thanks for dropping all that knowledge, plus the great drone footage! The mima mounds part was really interesting too. I appreciate all the work you do just to be a good advocate for the hobby of rockhounding! Thanks man :)
Thank you.
everyone knows they were made by GIANT EXTINCT MOLES !!
MIMA MOLES they were !!
Interesting 💙
Fascinating history and geology of the area. Thank you for your research, and for sharing this information. Great drone footage 👍
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing this video, I really enjoyed learning about this area.
When are you going to come visit? :)
Absolutely love the drone footage! I hope you do more.
I will be doing more. Its honestly a little hard due to the winds we have here, once the winds hit 15mph my drone starts giving me warning and the last thing I want is for it blow away which is always a risk.
I didn't realize they finally found an explanation for the mima mounds! I explored some of the Central Washington mima mounds a few times while doing field work in college. Pretty cool to hear how they were formed!
Most of the work was done by an archaeologist named Jerry Glam, the radio carbon dating of the campfire hearth found inside one of the mima mounds puts its use between 500 and 1710 years ago so we know they can build pretty quickly.
Great video. Any interesting finds or types of pretty minerals ?
Some of the primary rocks that someone would rockhound out here for are agates and common opal, both of which I have found in this area but I'm hesitant to make a video about that until I can locate a really good area to go that has them in abundant since up to this point I have only found small amounts here and there.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding We have plans to visit a few spots out there, after this snow is gone. And I'll keep You posted on any notable finds.
It's a great big area to go searching around, don't forget your orange hat, people do go out there to go shooting from time to time.
very interesting and with it's own beauty. Good job with the drone too. Missed you saturday but you need a day off now and then. BTW we are heading back to the crystal field for a long weekend for our anniversary. Maybe can find a complete one to send you. Havagudun friend.
This past Saturday was when I was actually out filming this, its been pretty windy and it died down for a day and I had to jump at the opportunity. I would love one if you wanted to send a find but at the very least I would love to see a photo of your finds.
This was pretty awesome. I want to thank you for all the research and information that you share. I love rocks and minerals and can identify many... But my geology knowledge is slim...and what I do know I find hard to articulate. So many props on how well you do. I've learned a lot from your hard work. Cheers J&S!🐺🐾
It really nice to hear that it's appreciated, I do love making content like this.
What's the most remote place in eastern Washington?
That's a hard question to answer. Is there something you're looking for?
@@CurrentlyRockhounding Just how far away from civilization I can get because people suck, ideally some remote mines I could ride a quad to.
I guess mines that resemble the death valley mines would be my specific answer well preserved.
@@ExploringCabinsandMines You just described most of NE Washington, north of Spokane, lots of public lands to wander around on.
Do yourself a favor and lookup Randall Carlson, he’s done a LOT of research on this area. About how it is all the result of a flood on biblical proportions that happened like 13k years ago. Actually listen to any of the joe rogan podcasts with him, or even better the ones with Carlson and graham hancock... it’ll blow your f’n mind.
The ice dam is old science... just look into it. You’ll thank me later.
I'm familiar with his work and theory’s on the subject but many of them have not been widely accepted by the geological community. The ice dam is not old science but rather the theory that has the most evidence supporting it.
The purpose of the channel is to make rockhounding and geological information fun and digestible and sticking to hard facts is the best path for that. The books On The Trail Of The Ice Age Floods by Bruce Bjornstad & Eugene Kiver are amazing field guides and well worth it.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding Yeah, im not trying to say whats right or not, I appreciate your video, totally. rather just pointing you towards something extremely interesting to know once you go down that rabbit hole, it opens the door to the story of like noah's flood, atlantis and a bunch of other crazy stuff thats connected lol. Just... look into it a bit, i promise you; it'll blow your mind. either way, great video.
randall carlson spent a LOT of time on the ground out there, his research is absolutely astounding.
