      Thank you, that actually means a lot to me and makes me really happy, I have a few awesome people who watch me who can't rockhound, and I will always take requests from folks like you if you ever want to see me go after something.... so long as it's in the United States (I don't have a passport ..... yet lol)

    They may be small, but finding turquoise, and for free!?! Well that is super cool! Those were actually some pretty pieces. Nice colors and stable! Can't beat that! Thanks Jeff! That was a fun little adventure!💕

      Agreed, and with the rain they have had I think alot of that wash was sandier than usual I want to go back during or safer still right after monsoon season and see what goodies can be found

    Fun video, my friend! I like the question about the turquoise and which came first...that's kind of like an orange. Do we call the color orange because of the fruit, or do we call the fruit that because of its color? LOL
    ANYhoo, I'm going back to Pine Ridge on August 10th, then Ron Coleman's on the 23rd...wish you could join me!

    • @huntingrocks
      @huntingrocks  4 месяца назад +4

      I wish I could too both places are AMAZING !! The orange one I know though,believe it or not the fruit is where the color name came from before the Orange was discovered it was called red-yellow, then they found the fruit and a native said "It's called an orange " prolly had a diffrent name but you know how words get changed by what folks hear and bingo bango red-yellow is now Orange, a lot less letters for old time scribes to write out LOL

    Nice job getting back safely. I can’t handle that kind of heat. I have one of those neck cooling fans which helps a good bit but not sure it would be useful in 100+ temps. They are actually quiet. I recorded me talking while wearing it just to see😂

    It is mind blowing how fast those washes fill with water. That's a valid warning you gave. Man, this has us missing the desert. Funny we watched your newest vid first and you mentioned what came first, turquoise the rock or color. 😂 our guess is rock because rocks are heavier than light (as light is what makes color). Therefor, the rock would travel at a higher velocity. Although, it couldn't beat the speed of light, so maybe color would come first? Hm...
    Lol, anyway, the turquoise is super beautiful. Hoping these Western vids never run out.

      Hahaha I got a few more western vids up my sleeve, In fact will have a surprise western video shot next week .... depending on if it's where the fire was or not cause we are headed to Colorado for a week of R&R .... But there will be videos shot .... even if they are not great videos LOL

    Any gold out in that wash? do you do any gold panning vids?

    • @huntingrocks
      @huntingrocks  3 месяца назад +1

      In that area, I'm sure their would be.
      I don't do any panning videos, I probably only get to pan like maybe once every other year, my area of the world isn't known for gold (I'm out of St.Louis) but next time I'm out west I may try to do a little panning somewhere. See if I can find any Shiney, I know. Ask Jeff Williams has been in that area somewhere, but he is a pro.
