A Rockhounding Adventure • Fossicking Further P2 • Chalcedony & Agates

Part 2 of one of our biggest adventures rockhounding agates and chalcedony in a favourite creek. We go past where we’ve ever been before to see the treasures that the creek offers as we head for the hills. Big rocks and big snakes with waterfalls and caves, this creek has so much more to offer than the gemstones we find. Come along to see where the journey takes us. From thunder eggs to blue chalcedony, we had a day of rockhounding to remember.
Please check out #Thefinders for other good people finding great treasures.

    So it’s been longer than I’d hoped between part one and part two, but I’ve made this one a bit of a longer video to try and make up for the absence. Thank you to everyone for the love and support. I’ll be out hounding with these boys tomorrow so may take a while to get to reply to any comments, but I read Em all, and will reply as soon as possible. Have an amazing weekend and week ahead my friends. We’ll see the cuts in two weeks. Until then, happiest of hounding!!!!!! And give some love to your dogs if you have em. Thank you and big love from down here. 👊✨🐺

Your absolutely right its like being a kid again wandering around in nature, bring out the "Indiana Jones" in all of us. I'm amazed at your knowledge of snake varieties. I'm currently in Az until the spring and when I'm out prospecting the rattlesnakes are the only thing I fear. Jeff Williams has an interesting solution for snake bites, ill have to investigate further.Congrats on all the beautiful finds and I look forward to seeing them cut.

    one of the best trip I've ever seen, what more could you want, and common opal down there, you could be really close to a precious strike ! I dream of digging opals down under, and the agates and blue hue of the chalcedony !!! winter here isn't adding up to enough flow to stir the beds fresh, so I'm back to prospecting, good to see this one, and hope you are getting out and about in real time, it took me a long time before I quit expecting to see my drover pop out of the bushes onto the trail ahead , I still see his face saying come on boss! and the smiles when you get back even if you didn't take them along.a howl out to the moon my friend ; ) Rock on !

Man it would be a DREAM to walk the creeks with you over here, if I had the money I’d pay for you to come over, take time off work and just head for the hills gettin our Quest For Goodness on.

Are you spending your minutes in the pursuit of things that make memories. Cause if you're not you're not going to have a meaningful existence. That's why were here to be meaningful to each other and the world around us, not simply get one, get over, or even get it! Thre mates, amigos spending time being kids again, often life just doesnt slow down bnb to get much better. Thanks for the adventure. Til next time, be blessed my friend!

All of you had some outstanding finds, but that brick that Benny found @9:07 takes the day! Wow! Many more like that and you'll need to reinforce your back-packs. The blue Chalcedony at the end was beautiful and well worth the work. Can hardly wait to see these when you get them cleaned. Just curious, will there be another hunt on that creek starting from where you left off this time? Looking at the progression of your finds, you seem to be getting into the better bigger stuff. You may even find where that opal is coming from. Holy crap, wouldn't That be a day to remember! Again, Thank You for Sharing. As Always...
