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.
Wow, wow, wow!!!
You had a very good day
Beautiful rock of the day. Looks like a chunk of crazy lace
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!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Kim, these specimens are so beautiful...I'm sitting here with my mouth watering ....like Homer Simpson looking at a can of Duff's. 😅
Wow Wow Wow! Thanks for taking me along!
If I went rock hounding with you I would have about 400 lbs of rocks in my jumbo backpack!!!😂 AMAZING FINDS AND GREAT VIDEO!!!
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.
You have some amazing specimens there - absolute beauties!
I’m a first time viewer and landed here from Theo’s page. I look forward to watching your past videos!!
Darn. I wanted to see that rock with big white lines. You got beautiful rocks again today.
Awesome! When you pulled the large piece of jasper out it looked like a piece of something translucent was sticking out beside it 😍
Montana agates are amazing...I'm hunting occasionally in Northern Illinois Mississippi river...getting some lake superior agates on a rare moment....These rocks are really beautiful...so I think you have gotten to heaven today!😊
Chopper is such a good boy.
OMG what a haul, I am so JELLY. Love your videos. Thanks.
You are amazing, you have a good eye. Finding agate & jasper!
Those are some brilliant Jaspers, love them. That last agate had a dazzling blue. That's a great day!
You show the rocks so well. Love it. Chopper is a wonderful companion dog too.
Such pretty finds. What fun to unpack and marvel all over again.
Wow Kim, that little colorful agate was gorgeous! Man, the colors and the banding are insane! What a killer find! And that pet wood the jasperized one, was amazing! So colorful! 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!

Thank you for watching and all your comments!
I have to say i am not usually envious of people’s rock hunting but i am today. Absolutely amazing
I love the way you get soooo excited over your finds. Makes me wish I was there too. Keep on collecting.
So so envious of your surroundings. So so many beautiful specimens. And the petrified wood always makes me drool. 😅♥
Beautiful!! I hope Chopper didn't eat too many frogs and minnows. 👍👍👍☀🌞
you find beautiful and quality stones friends.
Good morning, madam. I wish you a useful and valuable trip Salem
Beautiful indeed! Now get on home, get Chopper dried off, and get the mighty Drogon fired up!🤩👏
Thanks for taking us along! A picture is better than a thousand words!
I had to watch it again. My favorite was the bubbly rock and an agate, with all the red banding, red and white banding rock on.
Luv Chopper!!! Have fun:)
Wow!
As usual great finds. Thank you so much for sharing. I must admit my heart broke just a tad when you left the septarian behind. It was shaped so weird and I loved it. Perfectly understandable though.
Amazing finds
I like that yellow jasper. It looked like it could be bumble bee jasper.
Those rocks are so beautiful. The colors!
Oh my goodness!!! So I commented on a different video of my rock. I wish I could send a pic... you just taught me another one, thank you!!! I have a green jasper agate.... what's even cooler is its round, and the agate part meets in a triangle on both sides is beautiful! 😊 Flathead.....

Rock hounding heaven❤❤
Everything you found is amazing very beautiful agates and Jasper and lots of other goodies. You're doing exactly what I like to do. You're my kind of woman!😊
What a lovely day and so many beutiful rocks. Wow, I can not say that the Jaspers was best, because that Agat at 5.17... was extreme. You are always finding a LOT of lovely rocks. Lucky you. Thank you for the video
You are rocking my world!! Awesome finds!!
I agree. HOLY CRA-COW!!!
Hello, MRM. It's good to see you back. That bubbly one reminded me of the botryoidal geode that I sent to you. Loved all the cool stuff. Welcome back to heaven.
This was so fun. I was born in Eastern Montana ❤ Excellent finds❤
Crazymontana!!!! Aggg
Omg! What beautiful finds! I bet drogon is hungry! "Hint, Hint" 😅 i love your videos. They really relax me! Thanks for sharing. 😊
Watching from pinas garita San Enrique iloilo tnx ma'am 🌺🌺🌺🌹🌹🌹🙉.
Wowzers. Some great specimens. Beautiful rocks. 💜 😍
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!
You are too cool 😎and dang lucky 🍀 as well 😁
So glad I found ur channel. You n quest, as far as I've found, by far find the best stuff. Thank u for sharing!!
So many stunning rocks what an epic hunt thanks for sharing 🤩🤩🤩
Really like your rocking with the meadow larks! Great finds!

Amazing day out ❤
😲🤯 dude that one at 5:00 looks like a NICE dry head (I think that’s the name) agate! You kill it every time! Great finds!!!
I love watching the world wake up. The light, the sounds....Your enthusiasm and joy...infectious. Great rocks again...Thx Mother Nature and M.Rock Mom...you to Chopper. Be well, stay safe.

🎉nice show kim!!!!
Really missed your video's. Thanks for making my day!
Hola guapisima!!! Tus videos son excelentes!!!
Hey montana rock mom! Love watching your channel! I am from Canada and i need to get out to montana! The rocks your way are so pretty and amazing. I live vicariously thru your rock hunts and love watching what u find!
LOL most videos I watch I have to speed them up a little but, yours...... when you find a rock and get all excited and saying look at this and look at that flipping the rock every which way and back again to drop it and pick it back up and put down and wash it then grab it and start turning it....that whole sentence happens in real time of 2.3 seconds! 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!!!

Wow! What an amazing hunt ❤️ love it all so much MRM! I try not to be jealous, because I find some fantastic agate treasures here in Tasmania! You inspire me to share my hunts 💕
I smiled the entire video! Unbelievable finds this day! Your skills for finding these absolutely beautiful rocks is awesome! Thanks for sharing your adventure!😊
Wow! Such beautiful finds!!!
So pretty with the hematite and jasper. And the banding on the agates you found. Wow. And im sorry i watched your previous video and was so excited about the app i forgot to say how cool it was you found shark teeth. Hope to find some some time myself. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. So amazing some of the stuff you find. And your cutting videos make me sit in awe. Have an awesome next hunt 👍😀
You found some really beautiful rocks! Im always amazed at the beauty of Montana! ❤
That is just amazing! And what a heavenly place to hunt! Your enthusiam is so infectious too :D. Love it :):):)
Good for you I hope to go to Montana soon I live in Wisconsin so it’s a few hours away for sure. Such great finds out there 😊😊
I found a 30 pound chunk of jasper along the Yellowstone near Columbus last year, it was huge, I left it for another rock hound to have.
Wow. Some of that looks like candy! Great spot. I hope you go back. Thanks.
Great day picken!
You're making me sad! The summer of the flood was my 50th high school reunion, Miles City. 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!
I’m hoping by the time my son & his family get to Montana the waters will be down so they can visit the river to rockhound. As always you find the most beautiful rocks.
Well said!!! #Montanarockmom!!! #Yellowstonenature!!!
Great rocks!
Wow that was definitely a successful rock hunt! Beautiful finds😊❤️
Rock hounding heaven! I thought I have it good in Puget Sound but Montana rocks! (Just couldn’t help myself…lol)

I didn’t see much in Puget Sound, but it was just one small spot at a park.
Wonderful finds! Wow I wanna rockhound where you were in this video!
Cool nice pics
That was an epic hunt I would love to be out there
We will be staying in the forsyth area for a week later this month. Hopefully we can find some good stuff. Your video along with katydid and theo inspired us to make a trip. Thanks for all your wonderful videos.

Could you pm me if you had luck there? We are going from WI to Colorado to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in the fall and my husband said we can go by the way of Montana one way so I can hunt some. I know where Forsyth is. Stayed there on the way to Seattle in 2014, but I didn’t have a rock interest then.
