- In this one, we make a slight detour on our South Dakota trip to head over to Teepee Canyon to look for fortification agates! We didn't have very much time hunt, but we figured we might as well spend an hour or two doing some surface collecting while we were in the area. I am so happy we did, because we found some fantastic material for what little time we had to look, including some prime cabbing material, some calcite crystal specimens, a few specimens that are perfect for polishing, and the best Teepee canyon agate I have ever found! This agate is fantastic! I hoped we would find a few good specimens, but I certainly was not expecting to find a monster with multicolored fortifications! That one find was worth the entire trip! After we make our way back to the shop, we feed some of our finds to the slab saw to find out what's inside! I hope you all enjoy, and I will have another one out soon!

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: I love those colors! The vermillion, tangerine, and sunset gold banded together around pockets of watery quartz. So beautiful!
Dude!!!! The big boy looks like it has a flame captured on the inside! What!!! Mind blown.....great finds!
Those were just fantastic teepee canyons! That big one was just insane! So beautiful! And OMG, if it's iris! I would absolutely flip out! And Alexis did really well! All three of her finds were really good! Just an awesome trip over all! Thanks Theo, and Alexis!❤
Nice finds
Amazing finds, good eyes Alexis. Can't wait for the follow up of the one you left in the acid and the polishing.
Holy cow those came out amazing! I honestly expected nothing less coming from you Sir!
I’m so happy this happened! …and yes ‘Paha Sapa’ Jasper is very underrated!
Teepee canyon is a fantastic place to get the indescribable rocks you found.! Congrats!!
That big find is amazing!!! Just gorgeous!!
That big one you found is world class. Wow!!
Those are some amazing Tipi canyon agates!!! Wow!
You and Alexis hit the jackpot with those TeePees! I can't believe the lack of snow in SD for this time of year, but MN is no better. Dry as a bone here. Happy hunting, everyone!
I would be freaking out too if I found something like that. Great find! I think it was waiting for you.🥰
The calcite crystals are amazing!
Those 🧻 agates are super cool! Never seen one before in person. Very surprised to see no snow on the ground this time of year. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
Wow just wow! Awesome colors!
Fun trip to TeePee Canyon! Dissolving the calcite made such an amazing difference and I love those boys in those pieces ❤ almost iris😮 dude, those are all fantastic pieces! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful finds.
Absolutely stunning TP Canyon Agate. I think it's my favorite of all the slabs I've watched you cut. Congratulations on an amazing find!
I would absolutely be happy for quiet a while finding those! But I would see another rock and get all excited again lol. Love that you share such fantastic finds!
That last one is sweet!!!!
Absolutely amazing!!!
I'm glad you got a taste of a cool teepee nodule. If you could only see what we have pulled out of there. I have tons nodules. Some the size of basket balls I just don't have a saw to cut them.
Nice, from teepee canyon!!!!!
Wow!!! I can't wait to see how that polishes up & fingers crossed you get an iris agate out of it!!!
WOW!THANKS BROTHER!
So cool!
So glad you stopped there. What great finds😊
Wow! That large agate is amazingly beautiful. Great finds. Thanks for sharing the views.
Awesome. Thanks.
That was really the stuff of legends. What an amazing agate. Right on Theo.😎😎
OMG what beautiful rocks xx gr8 vid Theo xx
That last "meaty" teepee canyon looked so vibrant it almost looked painted/fake :O stunning stuff!!
Hi Theo I love the AGATE 👍❤️😃👋
Very nice!
What a great stop. You both found some great pieces. The one your on the fence about to cut, you should cut, cut, cut. It will be amazing. I love the jaspers too. I'm partial to jaspers, they are my friends.Keep having fun and I hope she made it to the book club.
Cool finds.
I live in S.D.
At 10:56 in the video, above your right thumb, that little plant looking thing on the limestone is called dendritic limestone. There are pieces at Teepee with that all over the limestone and quite collectible.
Oh wow😍gorgeous stuff u 2 found❤❤
I’ve spent lots of time out in Tepee. That’s a wicked tepee! I have a few spots around the commercial pits area that have produces some nice nodules. Found a spot for hills agates too.
Some of those look like Crazy Lace Agates. Keep up the good work.. ThePiece that got Bigger does have the look of an Iris agate.. The Chatoyancy showed on the lower right-hand corner. Hope it shows Iris when you polish it..
Super impressive Yellow Teepee canyon agate! 👍🏻👍🏻$$
First word i said was wow it needs to be on a magazine cover its that nice
I think that big one is the nicest Teepee Canyon I've ever seen. Definitely a museum quality piece compared to the rest of them. I have a few small pieces, but none anywhere near what you found in your "20" minute collecting side trip. Very nice and congrats.
Pretty cool haul!
Take care
I love them. Pitch me a teepee in teepee canyon and have the best rock garden in the world.
looked like Jasper and Agat in the same rock? and that Agat at 6.20, wow....a big pattern. A good hunt.
The one at 16:14 is beautiful!
👌👏
Yeah man that was epic! I was hunting for agates today but I don’t think I found any got some nice geodes though.
The one at 21:57 is my favorite!
😍❣👍
I have a question about the scribe that you use. What is a scribe, and how do you use it ? What kind do you use. I'm new to this, and I love tools.
You go to South Dakota, you have to go to the Rock Shed.
Wow, just wow! Those fortifications are so nice.
That place has a lot of history there was a event that took place and changed the landscape, it was more robust with trees and brush and small to mid size animals easily findable and large ones. This event was one of the pivotal extreme radicalization resulting in the count of a unknown death total becoming into everlasting territorialism, war, genocide or clarification and communication strategies and motivational tactile adaptations of the Aboriginal (First Nations or Native Americans) or migratory peoples from Northern or Southern Regions with commonality of understanding surviving in the land together and sharing life and living despite any past conflicts. The death toll was or has been in the millions and was prior to the industrial revolution or rather track or train or oil boom. Those lands have seen much death of people said to be like ghost's are wind settlers. Those that remained around or missed the lethal prolonged multi-event over time of 30 to 50 years. This drove those that were seen or singled out as expendable or indifferent pushed settlers to undergo recognition of others around and the mystery of the Natives. Many became close if not became interdependent and were able to achieve relations, families, and teachings regardless of skin or location and miscommunication intent.
Are these similar to Fairburn agates? What are the differences?
Fairburns are the same thing. Just tumbled down through the streams of the hills Teepee canyon that's where fairburns came from the house rock is just been tumbled off from being washed down the stream
thanks!@@biker9835
20 quadrillion is a lot
