Thank you for waiting so long for this one to come out. I hope you’ve enjoyed it, and I can’t wait to show next video with Theo. It’s been a big ol’ couple of weeks but we finally made it to Frookie Friday! May we all have a brilliant couple of weeks till the next one. Mega much love, I mean it. 🙏😊
Glad to see you post my friend.
Definitely worth the wait
My man its even better than I expected...this video need to see much more people...Im instantly sending to my friends❤
👏🤟🍻
Love to watch your videos! So cool! So many great and different finds! Thanks for posting!
Ohhhhh that green chalcedony Ian found....just melts my sweet spot 💚💚🤯😛🍭🍧💚💚
Tiny pieces are sometimes the best finds.
They are ready to become a nice ring stone or pendant.
Very cool finds
Great video
Thank you for sharing
I love to watch your videos. Even if you think you don't know a lot. You really do, thank you. And you voice is so soothing to hear.
Wow another great Video and some fun with pollys bottom. Thanks and have a great day...🙂
I swear I wouldn’t make through a whole day of rockhounding there! I would go into cardiac arrest with all those AMAZING ROCKS! Every single one tells a beautiful story!
I love them all ! 👍❤️
Jesse....wow"...don't underestimate what you walk over"....I'm sitting here in tears on my lunchbreak watching your video and thanking you for sharing your beautiful finds. I'm thankful to you and other rockhounders for making an incredibly difficult and trying year halfway bearable and not so lonely. I feel like I've walked over hell, but not sure what lesson I'm supposd to be learning from it. I'm just questioning if I have it in me to keep going. Been dealing with a terrible job and it's hollowed out my heart, which is something I used to love about myself. I dug up a huge thunderegg at one of my favorite spots a couple weeks ago. It was about the size of a basketball and had a star in the center that was the same pale green color as the piece you found early in the video. I'd happily give away rocks that have given me such joy to someone else so they could enjoy them. Heck, you could cut apart all of my still whole thundereggs and be blown away by their beauty. Thank you for being a friend when I had few.
I'm so glad you are back! I hope you enjoyed your family time! Now I'm going to finish watching this great video!
Wow, Frookie! What an awesome privilege that was to get to hunt that private property with Ian. Those were some real beauties, even the little bitty ones. The druzy was fabulous, and the small smoky quartz at 15:30 would make a dynamite pendant for your lovely wife. Excellent job on the editing as far as smoothly incorporating the voice over, live action, and music. Very professional, enjoyed it very much.
Thank you so so much betojdesigns. I had that exact thought myself. Backed with some silver or something.
Thank you again for always being so kind🙏🙏🙏
I have to tell you what a thrill that you refer to yourself as Frookie. I still think coming up with that nickname for you was a genius moment for me, and it makes me very happy that you like it. You were my very first RUclips rockhounder that I followed, and still #1 to me. I love your videos, and the time and patience you put into each masterpiece. I don’t know the cost of shipping back and forth to U.S., but I’d create a pendent in silver for you for the cost of shipping if it’s not too extravagant. Seriously. Van
Jeese, your videos just keep getting better. I'm gonna binge watch your best again this weekend. I have a lot of stress right now, so binging a bunch of Rookie vids is my favorite escape. Thank you so much!! 😁🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
I really hope it helped Kerin! I hope the stress passes soon!!!
Wow rookie! So many gem peices there! So so jealous but pleased for you all at tge same time...much love and happy vibes babe 💓💓🙏💓
Wow, what a wonderful day you guys had. I loved every rock you found. They're absolutely beautiful. 👍
Well I never thought I'd here so many oohs, aahs and excited gushings from a bunch o blokes! Love it! Great video and I've only just started watching!!
Haha awesome Terrie 😁
Love the bands! The green rocks are so pretty too!
You’re right, those bands make the rocks beautiful. I hope they let you go back to look for more.
Killer finds, it's a sensory overload with the amount of stunning colors and cool specimens!
Keep looking at that place ! U guys found those little chips , there’s got to b a few bigger pieces out there somewhere!!! Great video.
Keep rockin!!👍😎
Cheers Timothy mate!
15:30 see the difference in the shape of the crystal between this smoky piece and the last 'favourite point' piece? The tiny crystal point has an 'elongated c-axis', which tends to happen when the quartz has grown on a surface other than quartz. Quartz that grows on quartz grows like the smoky, or the druzy on that nice mammilary specimen. Quartz that grows on carbonates like limestone tends to 'nucleate on it's side', hence the elongated prism.
I find putting things you want to look green on paper (or some other white background) gives the best representation of the colour. I'm not sure if that's prase tho, it's very translucent! There could be some presence of a metal like nickel, chromium, vanadium, or even copper that could be tinting it green. I definitely believe you that it *is* green though, and that's special no matter why!
Dude thirst yes! Okay so to shorten the video I didn’t show the backside of that Crystal cluster but it was growing on what must have been some sort of mineral shelf inside a thunderegg. It was white and super thin. That’s really interesting that you picked that up bro!
Nice tip with the green dude, I’m totally not super sure if it’s prase but from what I’d read green chalcedony is prase but that’s probably a dumbed down version. Either way I’m with y’a man, it’s a pretty stone. How would we be able to tell if it’s prase or not?
Hi guys!👋 Just taking notes😁 Thirst... I did not know that. I'll be looking at crystals with another perspective thanks! I still have sooooo much too learn. Cheers guys and much love✨
Your videos never disappoint!!! I have loved rock hunting for years, but have never found the beautiful colors you find. Thanks so much for sharing with your fans!
Beautiful specimens. Thanks for sharing.
Love that tiny piece of smoky quartz.
😁 it’s a beauty right!
I love your videos! You guys are so lucky to live in a place that provides such incredible beauty and diversity in rocks! I live in Canada 🇨🇦 and I thought we had beauties. Your finds are awesome. Thank you for sharing. Rock hounding RULES. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦💖☮️
The tiny smokey quartz is my favourite, smaller is sometimes better.
I smiled all the way through this video. Your enthusiasm and interactions with your friends is delightful. And so are your beautiful finds! Thank you for a fun time!
Thank you Gwynn!!
Dude those finds are insane!!!! I think my favorite was that pink botryoidal fantasticness!😁 my gosh are the bands in all those rocks amazing! And the druzy and the smokies!!! Oh man that is one insane honey hole dude! Man i wanna go hunting with you and the crew; that just looked like WAAAY too much fun!😄 epic video brother! Ill be getting ahold of you after this!
Heyyyyyyyyy Theo! Sorry brother, taking me ages to get back to all the comments 😬🤦♂️ dude it would be nuts to have you along on a hunt one day! Just absolutely nuts! Haha! 🤘
@@Rookie_Rockounding no worries dude!😁 and man we will have to make it happen one day!👍 australia has been on my bucket list forever so its not a matter of if so much as when😁 duuude i sent you a picture you have to check out!😶😱
Thank you as always my friend for the excellent post! Much appreciated~👍 What an excellent day out hunting beautiful earth goodness. A super mish mash mix of wonderfulness. The piece at 10:53 has some really beautiful color mixes IMO. The best part of my Friday so far has been this video~ Ima sucker for thundereggs cause opening em is like a Christmas present each time, never know if you're getting. Quartz, Thundereggs....just a great day of fossicking my friend.🥇🧐 Personally, I'm more searching for beauty than size but in some places, there is just so much choice that it's kind of important/necessary to be selective for your purpose...what am I going to do with it?🤷♂️ If I can't see it in my head, then I usually leave it behind~ Thanks again brother, wishing you and yours all the best from across the ocean!
Heyyyyyyy Shaughn mate! How are you brother. Man this place is full of just amazing goodness. Broken stuff but I might try and tumble some maybe.
But yeah I’m trying to learn to get a bit more selective.
Really rad to hear from you dude. I hope you’re doin well over there brother 👊
Your smile says it all!! Just so many beautiful finds 😍.
Ah cheers Anna! I hope you’re keeping well 😊
@@Rookie_Rockounding all good here thanks 😁🏴.
Wow fantastic adventure such a variety of magnificent finds wow beautiful some a rare find of colours once you cut shape or more will be so awesome then your score of thunder eggs looking forward to seeing them cut thank you Eian that green is a magnificent find have to say one your best adventures yet fantastic crew on top of that Thank you my friend
Yeah thank you miles mate, and I agree, such a good crew of people right. Take care and see you next time mate!
My friend the video is excellent and all the samples you found are amazing, continue so the wonderful videos you make!!
Have a nice sequel and stay safe!!
Absolutely stunning pieces. That was hilarious you playing with Paulies butt in his where's Waldo shorts. LOL. I cant tell you enough how much I love your videos, (and not sound like a creepy stalker chick) LOL but seriously man I do love watching you and your friends out hunting. So much fun. Much love to you all and the poochy too.
That's one fair dinkum agate haul! Awesome finds sir!
Dude noice use of Fair Dinkum Ragnar! 🤘
Absolutely beautiful stones!
I love how excited you get about the colors! Truly a wonderful day for you and a joy for us that you recorded it. Thanks so much!
Love the bands in those pieces and such beautiful color.
Awesomeness! Love your channel! Thank you, Ian. That was fabulous. You must go back! There seems to be so much more to find and bigger pieces for slabs ❤️❤️❤️. Looking forward to your video with Theo! Stay Crystal 💫
Thank you Maribeth, and thank you for making it all the way to the end of the video. I can’t wait to post the video with Theo. It’s a big one but heaps of fun. 😁👍
It's nice to have friends to let you go hunting on their property and to have mates to go with you. I go for broken thunder eggs all the time. The little bits I tumble and give to parents that have kids. You never know where that will lead in their little lives and the parents become heroes for giving it to them. A couple of the parents even gave me tips on where to rockhound and said they might try it themselves. You did find a honey hole. Great job! Keep being happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
What a brilliant idea Sand Maker! Great to see you over here my friend!
That was a heck of a haul! Such a huge range of treasures found 🤯 loved seeing them all cleaned up at the end 🙌 great video bud 🤘🤘
Cheers my brother 👊 man it was nuts hounding a place like this. Gotta thank Ian for the gift of organising the hunt for us on private property. I’m a lucky man Taylor. So frikin lucky dude 🙏✨
@@Rookie_Rockounding oh it’s always a blessing getting opportunities like that! Glad it went well for all you 👍👍
What a great spot! Beautiful finds!❤️
Those little pieces would make beautiful pendants. That sweet druzy smoky was even already rounded like a cabochon 😍 thanks for sharing some local joy. Gives me hope for our little Aussie creeks😊🤘
Exhilarating finds! Small pieces are awesome for two reasons: they're a complete micro version of larger ones ...and you get all the same goodness with way less storage space!
Beautiful finds, I love all the colors! That quartz "spider web" one at 7:40ish sort of looks like boxwork, which is typically a cave formation. Whatever it actually is, it's super cool!
Oh thank you! R&RR! I’ll see if I can research it 👍👍👍 that helps heaps my friend!
Woooooo!! What an AMAZING hunt!!!! So beautiful!
Also... heck yeah! Pumped for colab with Theo!!! ❤😁
Thank you thank you thank you for another amazing video. All your finds were amazing and I can't wait to see you cut those thundereggs!
Thank YOU Corrina! I’m glad you enjoyed it mate, and I hope you and yours are keeping well 🙏👊🤘
Friday morning in Canada. Coffee and my favourite guy, Jesse! WOW what an amazing experience!!! The green chalcedony is gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing the thunder eggs cut open. Thank you Jesse for having us along on this exceptional adventure! Stay well. Sending much love.
Cheers Michelle! Much love right back at ya 😁
I get excited right with you I love your laugh good watch
I love love love the coral and melon colored boctroidal crystal! All the colors are stunning. thanks for sharing
I'm always blown away by the beauty of mother nature Jesse, you really found some beauties, can't wait for the next vid. Stay safe and well. Cheers.
Eeeee! That teeny weeny little quartz point was adorable! 😍 Man, your rock zooms are truly the best! No one does close-ups like you, my friend! I hope you get to go back to that property again sometime soon! 🙏
What a hunt bro🙌
The pinky was a nice surprise! AND the chrysoprase😃 bravo! How awesome you found some. It is such a lovely color💚 I would trip...

Definitely purple. You have the best friends. Nice to see a woman along…can’t believe more of them don’t want to go. Rocks…better than diamonds(What? LOL.)
The little bits are often the most exciting to look at through a jewelers loop! Little universes 💙
Damn dude another amazing dig brother. That soft green almost looks like Chrysoprase!
Such wonderful finds and I'm looking forward to see what you do with some of those pieces!
Also really looking forward to see what's inside that big egg!

I just love your videos. Happy hunting.
Tiny BUT mighty is what I always say :) there’s always little glass jars to showcase the tiny bits 👍😁
Another awesome video!! So much fun to watch. Thanks for bringing joy to my day. Looking forward to your next one. Take care!!
Awesome mate, thanks Ian. Thanks for sharing
Cheers Jeff my mate!
Oh I just love your videos. Your enthusiasm is amazing and makes me feel like hopping on a plane and flying over. Can’t wait for the video were you cut them. Thanks so much 😘🥰
I love watching your vids...your excitement over the beauty of the rocks, even the ones you don't keep, is contagious! Wish I could teleport myself to Australia and go hounding with you, but I'll just have to keep watching. I bought a wet tile saw after watching your video cutting slabs...and totally love it. I've also gotten the diamond sanding discs, thanks to what you've shared. BTW, I'm a 76 year old woman who lives in New Mexico, USA!
Wow! I'm fine with waiting for content like this! Stunning rocks & great friends
Bom trabalho amigo parabéns pela criatividade
Wow! Fantastic beautiful colors. Only nature can make. Love your videos. Thanks and greetings from the Netherlands xx
Some beautiful stuff!
Absolutely stunning specimens. I’m not sure I’d want to cut some of these. Absolutely exceptional!
Can't wait to see more there all beautiful mate.
What I wouldn’t give to have the chance to hunt with you!! These are all so beautiful!!
That would be neat to run the smaller ones through a rock tumbler.👍✌
Yeah I reckon ima need to do that he Michael. 👍👍
Thankyou Ian!😆 Wow!
Oh mate!..Did you guys strike it lucky or what! That place has got it all..such a beautiful spot to hound with amazing rocks n good friends! Would have been hard to leave that's for sure!👍
WOW!!!! SEVERE ROCK ENVY!!!😊❤
You guys scored! So good to watch. Can't wait to get out for a rock hunt once covid lockdown is over 🙂
That was one amazing rockhounding day you all had! Simply simply some gorgeous finds. I would definitely go back to that spot. It was like diving into a bowl of Cheerios expecting to find a cheerio. ❤️
I'm from Minnesota, USA. The same can be true with Lake Superior Agates...the little ones can be mind blowing!
WOW, just WOW. Lucky fellow to be able to find these beautiful stones. Love all your videos.
what's up mate great to see you still collecting I like road cuts and creek beds too
Awesome. ✌️
You are right about all the colors very impressive. We’ve just found out about a new place to find crystals here in Oregon. We are going to check it out soon. Keep hounding!
Beautiful stones! 🤜🏼⚡️🤛🏻
What a great place.
Thanks for the video I loved it.
Love the atmosphere and the friendly rivalry, besides with so many eyes looking the number of beautiful finds is incredible 💜
Hi Jess, what a location, so many stunning pieces. If that is in the creek & the road, then the source that they are coming from must be extraordinary.
Looking forward to the next couple of videos, the one with the big Geode and the one with Theo.
That green is just amazing, I found a couple of pretty small pieces of green Jasper which are nice but green chalcedony is something else.
Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
Hey mate!!! To be honest, I reckon you’ll know where this is but the owners would rather us keep quiet because it’s not an area they let people dig if that makes sense. So kind of them though. But that’s on the downlow. 😬😁
@@Rookie_Rockounding Hi Jess, no I’ve got no idea really, there are too many areas in the hinterland that I haven’t been to yet, having access to private property with this material is just about the holy grail though.
Much love back!!!
Hello my friend from across the continents, that smokey Quartz piece at the 15:30 point is an absolute stunner . 👌.
Aye!!!!! Lloyd mate! Man that is a beauty hey!
I hope you’re keeping well man, great to hear from you again brother 👊
This was so great! I never cease to be amazed at the marvels you find, Jesse! Big love from California!
This may be one of my new favorite video of yours! Which rock was my favorite you found that day......hmm? All of them! Hahahaha, I guess if I had to pick would be the pink botryoidal! You literally found every color of the rainbow that day! Hope to see more from that creek Ian took you guys to! Thanks for sharing. Rock on 😁🤘
Thank you Ian & thank you Jesse.
I'm so excited to see you with Theo. I just love his videos. He is a walking encyclopedia of rocks and fossils. Wish I could meet you both. I❤rocks. ✌
Another fantastically productive mission guys. fantastic colours and shapes. Cant wait to see them cut and polished next vid Jessie..I reckon its about time we had a tour of yours, Paulies and bennies collections and displays..Hows our chances?
The wait was worthwhile!
I’m so so glad Jayne! 😉
Small and mighty is what I call the small ones
Thank you Ian!! 😁
Whoooo dooogie!!! On the spot now. Looked like some garnets growing on the side, or quartz crystals. Im not able to upload videos right now for some reason and got guideline strikes on my agate and geode videos. Weird i dont even swear in them.
What dude that’s messed up. Your videos are just as non offensive as everyone else’s. That’s not cool. So sorry to here that Jason mate.
The tumbled stuff sounds beautiful though dude! Good to see you again bro!
