    I love rocks and crystals. I would love to see a whole video of you ladies polishing and cutting and prepping jewelry. That would be so interesting.

      Dear Bee kind.
      👍👌👏 Yes, that's exactly what a lot of us viewers already commented respectively asked for several times. I am and was simply not able to find a lot of their jewelry online (if any). And even their Etsy shop is mostly closed, sigh. This is maybe great because I hope that they sell their wonderful items/stuff instantly. On the other hand: I would really, really love to see at least the cut/polished agates/gemstones. Of course complete jewelry would even be better. After the second channel was introduced, I thought and hoped that we viewers would see more of the making processes.
      Best regards, luck and health in particular.

    Loved this episode!!! I used to hunt for very similar agates on the shores of Lake Superior way up in Northern Minnesota when I was a kid!!! My grandfather took slices of our finds and covered an entire 3'x3' glass tabletop with them. He mounted a light underneath and it was INCREDIBLE to behold!!!! It was very heavy! 🥰🥰🥰

    Green Rocks-That looks like Aventurine... which is in the jade family,. HOWEVER; in checking minerals found in Northumberland: I found Flourite in County Durham, just south of there. Also, flourite can be as purple as amethyst. Others have said malachite, but I don't think so- that is found near copper, and your's are too pale of green.

    Dear lovely rock hunting Ladies.
    OMG! 👍👌👏 I'm thrilled, surprised and happy 🙌 because at 36.05 min I was able to witness the former and famous "It's a beeeeeead" shout and shake again (but this time for a very beautiful, unique agate of course)! Until now I thought respectively feared, that this euphoric excitement expression was kind of extinct (maybe because so much beads have been found?). But fortunately I know now that it was only hidden under the surface and waited there until it was allowed to erupt again. 😁 ;-) Of course I loved to see and hear this old and beloved friend again. I really hope that we will be allowed to witness him more often again in the future. Hint hint...
    Thanks in advance! 😁 ;-)
    As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing your great adventures respectively treasure hunts.
    Best regards, luck and health in particular. To both of you of course.
