Let’s just say the mineral we found while rockhounding this new spot is 10lbs! Thanks for tagging along on this rockhounding adventure, being that we found Lake Superior agates, Jasper, galaxy stone, and other amazing rocks, I am pretty sure we will be heading back to this spot!

How much costly it is?

I first collected rocks while in mid to later grade school. Thought I was pretty cool. Knew the names like ignatious rock, sedimentary rock, and Wham, my rock hounding days were behind me as I grew up. So here it sit about 60 years later from the comfort of my chair watching videos of folks who unknowingly teaching me things about rocks now that I never knew existed. You do the finding, all the lifting and toting, having a good time with me sitting at home having just as good a time. For that, I thank you. 😊
This made me smile 😊 happy you join on our adventures!
I know what you mean, I sit here at home, wishing I still had my pile of rocks from when I was like 5-15 years old. When my Family were fishing & I would look for rocks I loved! Now I collect rocks again! I have a saw & lapadary machine like he has & I make Cabochons, palm stones & slices! So satisfying!!!! ❤
I like your comment and I collected rocks for a long time. I discovered that most of them have been carved! I looked back at my a collection and I could see usually faces in 90% of them! Usually more than one. So just us here I started looking at the Bluffs along the river and I keep finding the same face carved into the bluffs everywhere along the Mississippi. I keep finding them and it still blows my mind! If I ever get it together I'll do a channel. I'm also an old guy but not too old...lol
I second this
:)
I'm not even that into rocks, but anyone with as much enthusiasm for their passion is inspiring.
🙌❤️
Definitely agree!
I love watching your videos. They make me realize I’m not the only one who genuinely enjoys a day spent rock hunting.
Your enthusiasm shows your passion, and thanks to your channel, has rekindled a hobby that I haven't explored in 50 years! My first trip to the north shore didn't produce much but I'll be back in 2022! And have found some pretty cool pieces close to home. Keep posting your subscribers love it. 😊
OMG, that 10 lb jasper is gorgeous! Great find!!
Right! Thanks 😊
Sir 10 lb means
Bear scat, wolf prints…a typical day rock hounding in the summer around the Lake Superior region! Wonderful finds Taylor. Woo hoo galaxy stone..I’m so fascinated by them!
Thanks for taking us along on this adventure!
Absolutely!! I’ll be cutting some soon 🤘🤘
My dad found a jasper rock about twice the size at a fire ring at a lake where people camp. We split it open and it's filled with gold colored pyrite cubes. Absolutly beautiful and I'm having a hard time finding much information on this. My dad gave it to me and it's currently in my rock garden in front of my deck.
Take a short vid an post it for us ... I left ones this size an bigger also at the creek due to its weight I may try breaking one now
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Superb jasper! Beautiful environment! You always have such a lovely energy about you!
Thanks so much!
Some awesome finds! Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for joining!
Love me some jaspers, they never disappoint. It looks like you found a nice place to hunt. Just remember your not the apex predator in the woods, without a gun. Keep finding those beauties. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
I know, all these comments caused me to buy some bear spray. I don’t have my permit to carry or anything so I don’t feel comfortable bringing my sidearm out.
OMG! Can you schedule a "Hunting Agates with Agate Dad" tour? I'd sign up in a heartbeat!
Haha if you’re ever in the area hit me up, I’ll see if I’m planning to go out
@@AgateDad is that open to anyone lol
Of course!
I want to go too!
@@AgateDad i would go too! Any chance of a great jasper in that red color? OMG! 😲
Went back to my favorite hunting spot near the Colorado, along lower Country Club Creek. Went back to retrieve a piece of jasper. Yup! Found it!
Nice!
That was a great location for rock hunting! Love that gorgeous banded agate!
That jasper blew my mind! What...a...find! The jasper you find is so different than what I find... it just amazes me... it's so cool to see. I LOVE the red/black combo. That jasper is going to look sick all polished up!
I wanted to mention that I have bears where I'm at and they really want nothing to do with you really... So I always make loud noises to let them know I'm there and they'll leave the area. But then I have to worry about the big cats...they are way more curious...and stealthy😳 going with someone is a lot more safer. Stay safe out there Taylor!
I really should carry bear spray or some other means of protection! But me too, soooo beautiful!
Get 1 pcs jasper stone almost 25 kg..
Most people just step over rocks, never once thinking about where rocks begin, how they form, the endless seasons and eons of time they endure.
They are not just from history, they ARE history.
Nice finds! I imagine you'll be returning to this spot! The rock at 3:00 looks like Amygdaloidal basalt. My partner and I found a lot of similar pieces while we were in the Keweenaw Peninsula, so depending on where you were, the green bits could be oxidized copper, although that would mean the one you found was a pretty far ways away from home. Maybe the dips could have contained Michigan greenstone, because they break down so easily, but I suppose that would be a long shot and wishful thinking. There are a lot of similar looking rocks in the Keweenaw with quartz inclusions as well. Happy hunting!
Copper can be found in Minnesota too, I’m pretty sure it’s just a pocket of green nodules, I may be wrong tho!
@@AgateDad Well, if you ever figure it out, let us know. We spent Monday along the north shore, and found a beautiful specimen just like it.
I know what it is. :)
You didn't find as many agates as you hoped, but you sure can't be disappointed with all that beautiful jasper. Wow! I'd love to find a piece like that big one. Anyway, please be careful when you're out there alone. Your family and your fans need and love you!
Oh thanks! And of course I’m not disappointed, it’s how it goes and happens more frequently than you all see 👍
What is so special with jasper? I really dont know 🙈
I found a huge one like that, was too big to walk three miles with so I’m going back this spring for it :)
Good score!
You should bring a pick and hammer with you ,there may be some surprises inside some of those rocks with agates stuck on them
That’s what the saw is for 🤟🤟
I like my Jasper GEMMY 😉 I have a very large honey yellow piece that was rolled by the river that has so much character. It is rounded and has smoky quartz and druzy.
I get as excited as you do finding amazing gems/rocks! So glad I came across your video, hope you make more!
Every Monday and Friday ☺️
Very nice .
Wow!
You can find all sorts of lovely blood red Jasper in the Willamette River
I love when you add some bloopers in!! 😄😄
Hope to see these beauty cut soon!
Wow! That jasper is massive!! Great find!
Thanks!
Hi Taylor, another great looking creek, some really nice pieces and that chunk of Jasper, WOW, what a ripper. The colours look great and patterns look outstanding, what an amazing piece. Can’t wait to see it cleaned up and a slab if you decide to cut it. What a hunting trip, though you can have the bears & wolves, I’ll stick with our spiders & snakes some of which are the deadliest around, but they won’t decide to make a meal of you, 🤣🤣.
Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
Yeah gotta avoid them big predators 🐺 🐻
Wild guess, but is the rock at 2:24 Mary Ellen Jasper? Nice to know I'm not the only one who forgets how to use words as soon as the camera is turned on. I like that location. I wish I had some good rivers to hunt around here. In the rivers I have been to, the rocks are usually covered in scum so it's hard or impossible to identify them.
Yeah that’s how they are right now in every river, absolutely covered, occasionally I get lucky and find an agate in the mix but stick to the banks
Dude, I hope your carrying atleast bear spray. Be careful . I know how addicting rockhounding is
I love it so much. I do my rockhounding in Baltimore Md. No bears where I live but we have coyotes, deer, raccoon , beaver , fox. I enjoy your show!
I have bear spray now, thanks for enjoying 😊
Thank for show this beautiful Rocks 😊🙌
My pleasure 😊
Nice! I just found a big guy myself
Nice!
That was a good come back,, thanks for being human and leaving in the flubs🤣🤣🤘
Been a rockhound since i was 7 yrs. Old i.m 63 now and can t go any more this brings back memories
Gorgeous jasper! Love your podcast!
Jasper where I live is literally one of the most common rocks to find in the rivers. Were talking jasper chunks so large youd need a boom lift to pick it up.
Wolves and bears, oh wow. And lots of very unusual rock! Take care.
Always!
Some nice finds today thankyou for the tag along.
You bet
Thanks for the video......
Thanks for watching 🥰
Agatized jasper is a thing :)
Nice 5 colors with pattern view mountains more valuable
Sure would like to see that Jasper cut!
Out here in new mexico san juan county you will find the most beautiful white lace red jasper and jasper rocks like that so big you wont be able to pluck it from the earths grip
That's awesome .
Yes it was!
One good agate is all it takes to keep me coming back.😎
Exactly!
The stone at the 2 min mark is what I find here on the beaches. I've never been quite sure what to call it, but some of them are awesome. I carry a laser light to check them for translucency. I wish I had a cabbing machine to work on them.
Yeah I could tell that one was for sure translucent
I have favorites this time. Not only that huge jasper, green spotted & galaxy stone. 😃
Right!! Probably going to cut that one!
@@AgateDad can’t wait til the cutting! 😁
Taylor,
That is a beautiful area!
Absolutely ♥️🙏
Amei o seu vídeo....pedras BELÍSSIMAS.....amo jaspe.....é um. Prazer te assistir. Sou a AIDA do Brasil.....coleciono umas pedrinhas ROLADAS. Parabéns
Beautiful red jaspers. Great finds for you.
My friend found a softball sized red chalcedony piece yesterday. It's gold country Creek area just outside Tahoe national forest. It's crazy this same creek is where my neighbor found a perfectly round clear quartz ball. It weighs 6lbs and it is perfectly symmetrical.
Awesomeness love that jasper.
🙏❤️
Wow! Beautiful finds😍
Thanks!
I was drawn to rocks since I could walk. I’m 51 and just realizing what I possibly have. Didn’t even have a clue they could be anything but just rocks that I liked. Thought I was weird, Now realizing I’m not weird just connected to Gods fantastic beautiful earth. Love the videos.
this channel deserves so many more subs
That's very kind of you, I'll always be grateful for any amount of support from our community here
"Mixed up talking." Don't change a thing. You are personable and interesting, and it would be great if more people were like you.
❤️
Wundervolle Natur . Mineralien sind auch meine große Liebe . Es ist toll dir bei deiner Suche beizuwohnen . Danke das du uns alle mit nimmst . Ich wünsche dir noch weiterhin viel Erfolg und Freude in der Natur . Hab keine furscht vor den Tieren des Waldes . Hab respeckt und zeige dich dem Wald. Nimm seine Energie auf und warte bis du dich angenommen fühlst . Denn angst vor wilden Tieren in ihrem zuhause ist die gleiche angst eines Diebes welcher sich heimlich in einem Haus aufhält . Wie gesagt. Respeckt und Bescheidenheit sind gute Ratgeber. Wenn du dich erst mit der Natur mit dem Ort und mit den Kräften verbunden fühlst und angenommen wurdest wirst du noch sehr vieles an wunderbaren entdecken . Auf die herkömmliche Art kommst du nur soweit wie das Vermögen deines Verstandes es zulässt . Viel Erfolg
Nice job on that 10 lb jasper picked some smaller stuff this year on the northshore ludsun
That’s great!
Stay safe!
Will do!
Really cool jaspers and agates!
It was a great hunt!
Hi agate dad it's Alfa I am in hospital very sick had a heart attack still watching and learning about the gemstones rocks geodes an thunder eggs
Sending prayers for your recovery ❤️🩹
Lots of rocks like you have here up on the creeks near Mount Rainer Washington
True!
Hope you kept that lake superior green stone . It’s Michigan’s gemstone of the state. They’re hard to find and that’s a whopper ! Polish it ! Could be worth a fortune 🤗
Amazing Thank you God bless you
Ohhh that huge jasper is absolutely gorgeous...I'm so jealous. Just came across your channel this evening and am really enjoying it! I've always been drawn to rocks since childhood, I'm 71 now...what is it? ...and others have zero interest and chuckle because you do. How I wish I could live near Lake Superior and collect rocks there. I'll be watching more of your channel...found it fascinating.
3.10 is a bit of eruptive basalt through which depressurized, pent-up gases escaped prior to its cooling... These vascular cavities (vugs) then facilitated the flow of very hot waters, saturated with chlorite salts (greenish minerals), which precipitated out as the basalt cooled. There is a fair amount of this on the Superior shoreline in Michigan's UP.
4.15 is another example of cavities formed by de-gassing, de-watering. You are surrounded by extrusive basalts, from the rock walls at the beginning of your video, to these erosion effect boulders and cobbles which fill and bank the river. There are two types of volcanic / igneous upwelling, intrusive and extrusive: 'magma', which remains underground as it pools and cools, and 'lava', which breaks through the ground's surface, where it pools and cools.
Because "magma's" captive / contained flows are insulated by surrounding rock and soil, they cool slowly, so that the minerals they contain will most frequently de-gas and de-water gradually within the matrix, leaving behind discrete crystals that are easy to discern with the eye. quartz resolves out in crystals as druzy as sugar to those exceptionally huge crystals found in geodes, veins and caverns. "Lava" flows, on the other hand, are relatively quick to cool; when the pressures of overburden are bypassed to the open atmosphere, the molten material quickly releases its superheated gases and mineral-saturated waters, forming the vascular systems of tubes and holes (vugs) which quickly irradiate the heat. The tendency with quicker cooling is micro-, and crypto-crystallization of the minerals contained in the igneous flow; quartz will resolve out as chalcedonies (agate, jasper, etc.).
Reference the "Bowen reaction series" for a better understanding of what you're seeing in your fascinating searches for agates et. al.
Nice rocks! I'd like to see vid of some of them cleaned up and/ or cut. I'll check some other vidz in your channel.
Thanks Rob!
Nice ⭐
Thanks Richard!
Awesome finds!
🤟🤟
Cool finds! That jasper is huge!
🤘❤️
Gracias por compartir, saludos desde Venezuela
I have a jasper rock about 30 pounds and broke it in half and it has crystalized iron pyrite through it! Realy pretty!
Thats awesome!
I totally just found one in my river from today in upstate NY!!!!
That's exactly what I do ! I hunt my beaut-a-mis rocks after a good rain and while it's raining 😁
I may look like a lunatic but I don't care ! When I need some" ROCK THERAPY " I just go get it ! Rain or shine , day or night ( yes , I know ) hot or cold , when I gotta go I GO ! AWESOME ROCKS BUDDY , I'm jealous now so I'm going to play hooky from my responsibilities and get me some therapy ! ✌️🙉🙊🙈😉❤️ XXX
Haha go get it!! The outdoors are so good for the soul!
Iron mining areas have tons of beautiful jasper, banded iron formation (bif) for short, in Ely all around miners lake, lots of great stuff
Awesome!
Nice video
Say hello from indonesia...i also like hunting agate stone...nice activity...👍🙏
love! xo
Спасибо за это прекрасное путешествие! Очень люблю такие находки!
I have found really big chunks of jasper. Red and even tiger Jasper. Yellow and green. I would show you photos but this don’t have a place to share them.
That red agate looks like Mary Ellen Jasper, which is quite common up there. I have cut and polished some. It comes out OK. Sometimes it looks mossy (it moss were red.)
MEJ is less common than LSA in my opinion, some is meh and some is fantastic!
I would be out there looking for bigfoot and Rock specimens at the same time. What a joy nature is!
The bears are agate hunting too. That's why you didn't find many in that area.
Hahah
@@AgateDad hey I was wondering if you got my email with the 2 attached images of that strange Kaspersky.
WOW beautiful so you find these in Creek beds
That was a huge chunk of goodness 😳😃
Oh ya!
Love your videos! They are stress relievers!
I want to learn more!!
Thanks!
Fair warning if you think you are a rock hound you may find yourself obsessed. Also it's a great way to get your kids/nieces/nephews their friends whoever out of the house, off the games, and interested in natural wonders. I could always get my teenage daughter and my stepsons out to the river.
How can I get permission to send you two or three pieces you might like to cut (and keep, presumably?)
The show is excellent in all dimensions, and your friendly disposition and personal "joy" in all aspects of being a rockhound are hugely enjoyable!
Found those green nodules in Germany than attributed to be melaphyre
What a really pretty place
I recently found a spot when i can get unlimited red and yellow jasper
Some nice rocks around there. Great video
Cool, thanks!
That big Jasper looks like a piece beef. Huge
Instead of tumbling do you ever slab and use a template and then polish to a cabochon which makes it saleable and incredibly beautiful!!
I haven’t made an actual cab yet but I will someday
You are handsome brother, your stones and location is beautiful.
This reminds me of my own finds.
Me abençõe com uma casa com tesouros que encontrou.Deus abençõe.Amém
U have alot of jasper the Arizona rivers and washes are filled with them
Wow! I have a lot of quartz but nothing else,But I would love to find stuff like this!
❤️ best of luck!!
@@AgateDad thanks Dude:’
What a great adventure. I really enjoy listening to you explain all the minerals and pointing them out to us. I just subscribed and I think I made a wise decision. I can’t wait to enjoy more of your videos. Thank you for sharing.
