Must-do Rockhounding Adventure In Eastern Montana Creek!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Come along as Chopper and I go on a rock collecting adventure along a creek in the Eastern Montana Badlands. Lots of colorful rocks to collect here including jaspers full of hematite, dendritic agates, agatized wood and coral. I found several specimens to add to my collection as Chopper "fished" for minnows in the creek. I am sure you will spot several "keepers" that I missed, just so many cool rocks!

    I dont know if anyone mentioned this, but the "coral" is actually a type of worm that burrows into drifting wood. The jasperized wood you found was actually filled with worm holes known as toledo wood.

    You said you might have an epic day. Well... it looks like you did. From the multicolored jaspers, to the boytroidal agates to the jasperized petrified wood, it just kept getting better and better. Send a thank you to chopper for keeping you safe. I never knew how you always found the best rocks. Then it dawned on me, your the "Rock Mom" and you just call out to your children and they come. Thanks for the epic tag along. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒ Woof!

    I really like the occasional birdsong in the background. Maybe a housefinch? All the natural sounds are so much better than music. The water drip and splash, the cricket, the birds, the gravel crunching. Your voice ooo-ing and aww-ing... Oh yeah, the rocks are cool too.

And the green one! Wow! And that chunker of agatized wood! Wow! That brecciated jasper with hematite was really nice! The pattern was awesome! Pretty carnelian agate too! And that deep dark red agate was just amazing! Nice coral fossil! And that broken piece of agate with the lines was nice. The agate after that with the fortifications banding was amazing! Chopper is so much fun! So cute! Nice cutter too! And all the rest! Wow Kim! What a really awesome day! And your agate of the day, really was the agate of the day! Successful hunt for sure! Thanks Kim!

    Just found your channel and I’m obsessed! I love collecting rocks on the beach and now I’ll have to come to Montana! Question for you- do you know if there is a way to turn rocks you find into semiprecious stone beads? Or would you need a whole bunch of expensive machinery for that? I love to hand-knot beaded necklaces and it would be cool to make some out of stone I found. Love your joy and enthusiasm!

LOL it is too funny to see how excited you get when you find a winner! but, I do have to slow it down to see all the things that make it exciting! Dont change a thing, I just got tickled at you when you fond the big yellow one about 3 mins in!! I was like "let me see let me see!!! lolThanks for sharing!!!

When I was younger, I spent a lot of time looking for rocks just like you are, but on this trip, my last one, there weren't any stream beds to look in! I found a guy in Miles City who did lapidary in his basement and bought an agate from him so I wouldn't go home empty handed. Pout over!
