What do you use to clean them with??😅😅
I have pallets of rocks I've found on my property. I live near Tombstone. I bought a cheap tile saw. My wife says I am the only grown man she knows who always has rocks in his pockets.

You're definitely not alone by filling pockets, or bag or bucket with rocks!!!
Lived in AZ my entire life. We kinda forget to appreciate stuff like this because it's everywhere here.
I went to Arizona six years ago but wasn’t into rockhounding then. This video (and the previous one) make me want to go back JUST to rockhound! 😅 These are amazing finds!

Awesome!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: You're in some of my old digs. I forgot what a beautiful and majestic environment exists in that location. Feels wonderful to recall the experiences! Bless you! Safe journeys!
I ❤ the desert! I’m still trying to figure out where you are by looking at the scenery! I am in awe of your bounty!
I can not thank you enough for your videos. I am 53 and not sure I’ll ever be able to spot great finds. Great meaning what geologist and experienced rock hounds search for and gather. I’ve always loved rocks normally due to shape. I never realized how beautiful they can be on the inside. Your channel is bar far my favorite along with two other Channels. No fake skits just like educational and love for rocks. Thank you. So glad you loved Arizona rocks. Hopefully you can come more often. It helps me so much to find nice rocks here in Arizona.
Great finds! I was just in Arizona a couple of weeks ago. Did some hounding north of Sedona near Gray Mountain. Found some agate, jasper, petrifiedwood but strangest of all was a small cowrie shell. It's a bit weathered. I'd like to think it got there by Native Americans trading.

Arizona was once the ocean floor! Lots of shells in Yuma!
Wow such a great collection of beautiful finds. Love the crystals and the beautiful banded ones.
Great finds! My sister and I went out to Arizona a few years ago and I found the most amazing agates in the desert. Just beautiful specimens everywhere you look. Can’t wait to see your next vids when you cut some of these beauties.
Love seeing you out exploring the desert! Keep up the great videos. Mike
Arizona! I love the deserts, canyons, mountains. The Grand Canyon, Tucson, Flagstaff, Sedona, the Vermilion Cliffs. Such variety. I’m glad you had such a great trip.
Oh my goodness! What a haul of beautiful rocks! I'm ready to see the insides of those nodules! I'm sure it was great to get out of the snow for a while! 😊
Wow! Just WOW‼️
Those are very beautiful ❤ thanks for sharing!
U have no idea how much beautiful agate i find there! Always looking for the next epic spot. In the middle of no where. Thats the best part!
My 7 year old grandson wants to be a geologist when he gets older. He picks up rocks wherever he goes. He loves your channel. Thx. From north Phoenix area.
Just came back this spring...live in the desert during winter...Quartzsite. Now waiting for Michigan weather to agree it's spring. So many rocks so little time.
Enjoyed your Arizona rock hounding!!!
I'm originally from Tucson☀Az!!! I SO wish I was into this when I lived there! I am just starting! Great finds and love your passion!!
Not sure where you are, I have my speculations, but what an exciting day! Amazing hounding here! This hobby/lifestyle has taken me all over the state!
Wow - what great finds!!! Can't wait to see what you do with your hauls!
Stunning finds!! The colors are impressive! The iron stained quartz could be tangerine quartz! Can't wait for the cutting videos to start rolling out! Still jelly😁🧡
What a great haul from the desert. I miss the desert so much, because of the abundance of good material. Good video.😎
I mijo....great finds and hearing you so excited 😱💜😂
I’d need barrels, not buckets lol 😂!! This looks like heaven, and so exciting ❤. You found so many cool things.
In the rough they are all beautiful pieces !
Loved them all!!! Thank you!!!
Oh wow, this was just posted. I hope you had alot of fun out there.
😮Wow! I ❤love all your finds. I was surprised how fast you had your frist few, some day I'll get out and about and some good one's. I really love all those water lines and bands as well. You had some great ones. Thumbs-up 😅👍 it was a awesome day out.
Great finds!
I'm in north AJ, AZ, foothills of the Usery Mt. In my yard, I'm finding exactly what you're finding, much of which I wasn't sure if they were agates until your Arizona series. I'm anxious to see what you do with each type because I don't know what should be cut or tumbled... or will it be sandstone, ☹️ Thank you.
Nice material, I look forward to you cutting, greetings from the Czech Republic ✌

good finding brother thanks for review
That's good haul thanks 😊
The river beds are great places to look, Santa Cruz river washes!
love the video of your desert adventure. The music is great too. Some agates look like blue lace agate and those crazy looking nodules. What's not to love? Thanks
Awesome video as usual. I love rock hounding my home state. You need to come up to the high country in Arizona. Rock hounding in the line trees in the rivers and creeks is amazing too
good finding agates brother thanks for review ❤
The purple one is stunning!
Love it bud! It was a blast going out hounding with you and the unnamed 3rd party lol. Can't wait to see some cuts!

Volcanoes all over Az I use to work crop dusting had to fly once in awhile seen them all over! Being from Hawaii I’m used to cones and lava flow spreads!
Great video! I'm actually heading out there for the first time in a few days. I have a feeling it's going to be a 50# haul bringing back home, like the first time I went to MN. 😆
Super cool! Not as cold as Michigan!
I find jasper, agate, and so much. I can't identify. I live along the New River Trail. In Peoria, AZ. My backyard is a Rockhounding heaven lol Enjoy your videos. Keep Shining like a Crystal!!!
Nice video! I can't wait to see you cut into them. Beautiful stones.
The first few veins look almost exactly like what I find in the ditches near my property!!! It's all quartz however. But still beautiful ❤️
Welcome to AZ!!☀️🌵🪨 Wish I knew you were here! I have TONS of what you’ve found. They’re a bear to clean tho!🤪 I have NO IDEA how to cut most of them. Finishing vid now…👌🏼👌🏼
Dang! Amazing finds. I have lived in Az my whole life. WHERE YOU GUYS AT lol I would love to know! But I am glad you came to the desert 🌵 and found some beauties to take home with ya. Again! 😊👍
I do a lot of hiking in Tucson I don’t really find that much stuff in my area but pretty cool😊
What fun!! Beautiful rocks! How did you get them home? Carry on or checked baggage? I really enjoyed the music you chose too.
Where or what part of Arizona can you find areas like this
Muito obrigada pelo vídeo num local tão diferente.
Good stuff. See any snakes, scorpions or tarantulas?

Nope!
Jumping cholla give me the chills.
Beautiful area, but also mysteriously dangerous. Several people have disappeared, and skeletal remains have been uncovered. My sibling suffered nearly fatal injuries after crashing in a wash in that exact location. There are quite a bit of ancient native foot paths out there too...( Maybe the area has some suffering souls lingering around.) Very nice area, just be cautious, and don't wander at night.(lots of coyotes and wild dogs) I ran into some Mountain Lion dens myself... It's one of the few areas left where they can roam free and unbothered.
A bucket of blue!
I miss the desert.
Tonight i will dream of the Apache Tear i found walking around the desert as a child
Hi I just found your video. I have a rock question. My husband was picking up nails and screws with a magnet and a rock stuck to the magnet my rock app says it’s quartz but quartz isn’t magnetic have you come across any magnetic rocks?
The hole 🕳️ you pointed out was a rattle snake 🐍 den and during this time of the year they hibernate because the weather is not hot enough for them to be outside.
Looks like you found just about everything, and the great thing no snakes. Did you find any scoria?

Where are you in AZ?!?? I need flat places to go in AZ now, that I'm older and can't climb!
Where abouts is this at? Woupd love to tqke a trip up with my neices and nephew. We could use alittle cheering up, after my mom unexpectantly passed away.
Hey everyone! 👋 I live in Phoenix and accidentally stumbled onto rockhounding by accident but am really curious!!!.... Sooo I was wondering, what do you guy's do with all your cool finds??? 🤔
Maybe I missed it, but did you give a general location? I'm in AZ and I think my kids might enjoy hunting some cool blue banded rocks.
I wish Ohio had cool stuff like this
Where at in Arizona did you find these?
Any exact spots to check?? Driving here sunday
I know there are some that absolutely will not give out their specific hounding area, but how about at least a general location??? Sharing is caring - especially when there is so much available. I share locations whenever anyone asks, love to help other rock hounders find goodies to take home 😃
Troy has a good eye!

Even just giving the general area wouldn't be specific enough to do your contact harm. What's the sense in sharing what you found if no one else can enjoy findling some like you? Rock hounders are a sharing community, usually.
What’s the blue stuff? Quartz? Arizona is like the moon man.
