    Hey, Alex! Hi, Kip! Rockhounding vicariously through your channel is a highlight to my week. That jasper you found @3:36 is STUNNING!! That massive piece of petrified wood @5:07 make me soooo jelly of your hounding area. That fortified banded agate @9:33 is insane! I'm drooling all over my laptop! the wood you found @12:09 & @12:37, OMG! *dool* *slurp* *drool* Well, as if you needed proof you ARE spoiled, that agate @14:16, "Pretty cool."?? WHAT?? My favorite find ... ahhh ... all of them!

    That first jasper you found made me gasp. It is just gorgeous. Not that the others aren't beautiful but that one is awesome.

    Great adventure - thanks for sharing! In addition to the rocks, I'm amazed by the number of Native American artifacts in the areas you are searching.

    That first jasper... Black and blue? I really need to work on being able to identify my rocks. I would not have thought it was jasper. I have only just begun agate hunting so this is all new to me.

    Hi Alex not forgetting a pat for Kip. The agate was stunning but I’m in love with that first piece of jasper, it almost looks like it could have come from an exotic Middle Eastern country. I have never seen one in my favourite colours before, I shall have to go on the Google hunt 😀. Thank you for the first snow pictures, beautiful.

    I think finding those TSAs is almost more exciting than finding a decent Montana agate. They are beautiful, and rare. Don't tell the agates I said so - I don't want to make the mossies jealous.

    • @TheoKellison
      @TheoKellison 4 года назад

      Totally agree Kate! I always love finding TSAs; unlike moss agates and jaspers and really anything else, you can't really target them specifically and it always comes down to being in the right place at the right time. Love TSAs! Always a good day when you stumble upon one

  • @alwclimbs

      the featured agate is a rough Fairburn. When you cut it make sure you get the right direction.

    • @robertthiry9712
      @robertthiry9712 4 года назад +1

      @@dwighthawkins5955 I certainly am not saying it isn't a Fairburn though it is a fair distance from the traditional areas Fairburns are found. Just outside of my town. I almost feel bad they are so close. It is a burden I carry 😆

    Oh my goodness, I'm so glad that you ventured back out to this location and took us along, you found some really awesome finds. There were so many beautiful pieces but I do have to admit, I think that big state treasure agate was my favorite, but the piece of jasper with the turquoise and black banding was also up on the top of my favorites list. Thanks again for taking us along on your adventures, I really enjoy seeing what types of stones you find in your area. Blessings

    Omg you have to take that jasper home. That is the coolest piece I have seen. I'm still trying to find jasper on my trips but still learning what they look like, their characteristics and what rivers to find them in. Don't think we have jasper in central alberta. All your finds this time is great.

    9:47, the term peeler came to mind, because the white largest part looked like a kind of skin that wrapped around the grey-blue whitish inside, i don't know if you can apply the term to that rock. but, yes, it was the prettiest rock in this hunt.

    No favorite they are all nice 👍🏻 when I was 7 (43years ago) and started rock hounding my grand mother explained that true rock hounds would leave a marble behind when they found a keeper I’ve been through a lot of marbles since then lol so if your out and about and find a marble where it shouldn’t be that’s most likely why.if you ever get to Arizona look me up I know a ton of great hunting areas (raw petrified wood not water worn some you could easily Carry and some you can’t (trunk pieces) shadow agates, seam agates, fossils, ect )

    Yes, that TSA is definitely a pretty special find, but that first, major chunk of PW you found wasn't so bad either. I think I have a special fondness for the wood, as I can't help but think about how old it must be, where it grew, and what kind of wood it was. Just imagine being able to get all those answers!?
