Oh, I am so happy to find someone who loves green rocks too! And explains what they are! Yay!

Tough finding access but the deeper the gully the cooler and the color of rocks in the shallows! The fauna, clear water, little water falls, little gravel bars, all kins of trees reflecting rich changing colors. The dog and i love those spots. Hard to find, worth it. Socks always wet.

Awwww, love your deep thought Nate! So cool that you are sensitive to the wind's feelings, right on! The little orange creature on the rock at 32:04 is a ladybug pupae. Those are some really mind blowing jaspers, thanks for sharing the universe within the stones!!!!

Really enjoy these videos do relaxing and beautiful rocks amazing

Nate, INDIAN CAVE PAINTING OF MOOSE OR DEER AT 30:39! This is some of the best jasper I've seen on your channel. I m a big time rockhound and I dig your channel. Id love to go rock hunting with you. Like you, I have the gift of discovering. The first fossil I ever found had a live lizard sitting on it. When I came up on him he scurried off , then I noticed that the rock had a beautiful fossil of a fish. Thanks Mr. Lizard for turning me on to a life time passion.

I'm with you ! Green is the most evocative for me. I love all shades of green. These here I've never seen before. AWESOMENESS!!

My brother, many thanks for the location share. Last Sunday, 6/23/19, a friend and I went to the Veterans of Lake County Memorial Bridge. So far I have sliced six rocks on my Lortone 10” slab saw. When the slabs drop the reveal is like Christmas! Many beautiful gifts from Mother Earth. Only went to that one spot on Kelsey Creek and it was fabulous. Thanks.

MeMiner he is about the most educated person I know about mines, Rocks, and locations , Thank you for the day out appreciate it ,, Black Dog Out ..."Blessings

Your videos make me even more excited to go rock hunting. Thanks for doing what you do!

4/3/2022 *Great stuff Nate. I just got back from a Kelsey Creek/Manning Creek double feature. I met a "townie" couple at Kelsey Creek who mentioned they had watched your vids this morning and suddenly had to hit the gravelbars! Yup, even the locals love your stuff my dude. Kelsey Creek was total eyeball overload. I did fine walking the edge of the creek but once I took my water sprinklin' bottle, scrub brush etc. and hit the gravelbar itself I entered a feedback loop:* *internal dialogue* (I know, it's supposed to be "internal monologue". Welcome to my world.) Our hero surveys a 90 degree arc centered directly in front of him, ten feet away at the farthest (furthest?). He pushes both pairs of glasses, prescription and polarized sunglass, higher up the slippery bridge of his nose. The sun is bright over his shoulder, there is no wind. He drops his eyes to his toes and lets them sort of mill about. Slowly, he mills about in a straight line, right up the middle of that 90 degree wedge. *"Don't tell me what to do, professor."* *"Just look at every rock between your toes and about 10 feet out. Take a 2 or 3 foot wide swipe, go slow. Cool, now take that swipe to the right, 45 degrees from center, and sweep it back to your toes slow like"* *"Dude! I saw like six rocks I wanna pick up!"* *"Stay put and picture them where they lay. Three feet thataway next to the turd lookin' rock? Now sweep back out to the left at 45 degrees from center, then sweep back to centerline, about 10 feet in front of you. Now break off and sweep the parts to left and right that were INSIDE the area you just searched."* *"I know how to LOOK at stuff, stop bullying me."* *"Dude, I know, you look at stuff like a mo-fo. Now you wanna SEE stuff."* *"This goes through my head when I look at stuff; Dunno, dunno, kinda sandy, not really, wtf is that anyway, nope, nope no-what? Huh? Hmmmm. Crap, nope, mmmmm, no. ? Hmmmm. Huh? Oh dang! DUDE! This is epic! If I wasn't looking I wouldn't have seen!"* Then I take 3 steps forward and start all over again. Have a killer spring and everyone keep on Questing! Wayne/CRH

What an awesome video! I love your close ups of the rocks, what amazing finds! The mighty oak was Beautiful! Just a pleasure, thank you❤️😊

Fabulous rocks and Great filming! Amazing closeups of the jasper looks like photos of outer space galaxies!

Awesome peaceful relaxing beautiful scenery. Crikey! Nate good onya! what an amazing haul I'm feeling as green with envy as those rocks...what beauties!👍

OMG! You find the best rocks! We dont have those here in WV that I know of but I'll continue to rock hound for my states special treasures. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures! Cheers!

Great little secret spot with beautiful rocks

Wow exceptional Rockhounding fines on this video. Out of the 3 locations I think the 2nd one was the best. It had the most beautiful red, green, silver speckled, Jasper and a lot of green rock, Agates. Beautiful. When you zoomed in on a rock I imagined a drone flying over mountains or terrain with rivers. Each rock collected was prettier than the one before, if that's possible. And all in the same general area. And your parking was very conveniently located next to the river. I think it was an unforgetable Rockhounding day. Thanks so much. I never would have experienced such wonder were it not for you. Happy Hounding ;D

Great places you took us to with you. As you picked many beautiful jaspers and many awesome rocks. Thank you. God Bless.

Wow, that Spanish moss looking rock was exquisite! I'm beginning to think that all of northern California is made of jades and jaspers. Your finds are fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

Diamonds and gold and silver and opal and agates too:-)))

Day made. Love all the beautiful rocks you find. Beautiful just doesn't say enough.....

The key feature in that agate at 16:45 looks like a uterus and fallopian tubes! Call it "Womb Rock Jasper" LOL! There's a creek up by me in Foresthill that has more colored Chert than you can carry back!

Sooooooo beautiful......the greens!!!!

Great video. I'm in love with the fire colored ones. Every video makes me want to come there more. Thank you for braving the chill to take us along.

I just paused the video to say thankyou! You and Rookie Rockhounding are just awesome at sharing the wonder and I can't get enough of it. Every time I watch one of your videos I hold my breath a little bit with excitement! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for 'getting it' and sharing!

Good that you spread the respect aspect of rock collecting we all get a little bit too close to other peoples land sometimes and you're right from their perspective they probably don't know you're rock collecting. I had cops shine lights on me the other night when I was collecting with my cell phone light at night too close to houses but still on public land

When I see these beautiful stones all I can think about is thin slices for art work like stained glass windows and such.

I dig those green cherts and those starry night looking jaspers probably calcopyrite inclusions are pretty

Two minutes in and I'm already drooling🤤🤣

Greetings from Germany me. it's a pleasure to see you outside while collecting. I can be really happy with you when you make a find again. There is no gemstone around here, but I found molten glass from World War II. I'm looking for riverglass. it was a great coincidence. You have a great way of dealing with Mother Nature. and the way you explain things to us viewers is very pleasant. thank you very much and keep going.

WOW wish I could find stuff like that here in the UK. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

I love that your mapping out your locations for us to see.It's helpful to see and can be quite useful indeed!I hit up the Russian river bridge (Hwy 128) in early April this year and scored some real treasures and had a blast.But in my case there is always someone telling me its time to go,...boo who.Thanks and praises friend.

That oak tree is just amazing.

I love the colors of the rocks and how much depth they have. I also think trees can be very interesting.

Hello from northern California! I love your videos! Right now, my toe is healing. When it is healed, I am going to get out there. Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos! Bright Blessings & Many Smiles...

That type of jasper sounds and looks amazing, slabbed,and made into wind chimes.

Beautiful stone's .Woodpeckers help keep bugs under control 🥰

I just went rockhounding in the mountains in AZ near some abandoned copper mines for my birthday, such amazing copper or finds including turquoise. In the process of cleaning them all up. Even considering posting KZread video of end results

You always find great specimens! Thank you for sharing in your adventures,!

I'm into the greens lately...Beautiful!!!

Hope you go back to these streams again, you do a great job with the close-ups and panning where you pick up rocks.

Those beautiful rocks! I've never seen or found anything like it! I think if I found something like that I would faint. When my son was little he found a tooth that is a rock , never had it checked out. That was kinda cool! I just love watching your adventures ! Wow😯

Awesome spots dude!! Congratulations on your findings!

I love looking at your rocks! I get jealous lol😄

It so cool to watching this vlogs. I really become optimistically my plan about hunting the very nice rocks so I'll make try for searching the rocks in our village in front of the sea in our house. after three day I'm luckily I have found of two amazing rocks, but I dont know what menìrals content of rocks. now I confuse to sell but now I'm happy to keep the rocks, I think the rocks will God giving to me as a gift. Thanks

Such beautiful Gems!

I live in northern California near the Sutter Buttes. One of your video's looked like you were in an area of the Worlds Smallest Mountain Range. Wish I could go rock hounding with you. At least I'd know what I found. I have rocks that I like more than diamonds. One you found in Ca., looked like a fire jelly opal. My birthstone is emerald and I do like green. Enjoy and please keep your camera rolling. Sending love and hugs.

You make me catch a serious case of wanderlust. Thank you for sharing.

Good stuff my friend. 👍💯 Like the couple of camera tricks as well. 😁

Excellent video. Love your knowledge on things. Fun videos to watch when I'm not out scouting the creeks myself.

This place is so rich you're walking right past tons that I am hoping you pick up. Great hunting site!

You are in my neck of the woods! I am in cloverdale. Just starting rock hunting and soooo glad I found this video!! Answered several questions I had about some recent finds!

Amazing rocks! Jasper, quartz, and a massive Oak, Oh my! Great adventure!

24:21 OMG WOW! I have a wet saw in Orland and a Lap wheel and pads. Damn Lucky and I agree with your Deep thoughts

Also... Thank you for the pin drops on the map. I'm now compiling my own map, and adding your pins as "want to visit". We were up Perini Rd this week and found some wonderful examples of Clear Lake Diamonds and some Obsidian. I kept thinking of you as we drove through fire scarred terrain. Huggs!

Thank you for taking the time to show so much gorgeous detail both in the rock and in the map!

That was a seriously violent environment, that material is bresciated like hell. I'm envious.

Omg I wish there was anything like that in Maine!

That blue stone is the most beautiful stone I have EVER seen.

You Rock! Thank you :) for shareing.

One of those pieces looked like Jade.

Just before @24:45... niiice!! I wanna have rocks jump into my hands too!

Gorgeous looking Jaspers or Chert 😍

A lot of your red yellow finds can be called brecciated jasper. Thanks for All your videos and shAring locales.

Did you say what those fantastic green stones are? They have a depth to them that just draws me in. This was a beautiful haul! Thanks for sharing?

Wow! Those jaspers are messing with me.... seeing very cool images almost every time you twirl them!! ;)

Have I told you lately how much I love your rock hounding videos! Omg! Lol!

Love watching your videos! I can't wait to get out and go however it will be a few more weeks with the rain and snow here. Until then I will enjoy rock hounding with you!

Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Rookie rock hounding, an aussie guy that says the different variations and names, he also puts the name on the screen alot which helps me learn. Me miner knows his stuff too and he does all kinds of videos/tutorials. Beautiful finds definitely worth both feet wet.

Just found your channel and I’m loving it! Just a normal dude on a rock loving adventure! It’s fun seeing you express excitement in the same way I would while out rockhounding! Keep on keeping on! Thanks for the great content 🙂

Wow Nate another treasure of a show really nice thanx for all that you do!

You are the king of focusing!!!! Such beautiful jasper!!! Chirt? Churt? Chert?

Thank you for your time and effort. Your channel is the best and you are very good at giving us the Details we need to start collecting, prospecting and getting out and enjoying nature and mother earth. Life goes by fast we need to slow down and look around and find the joys that this planet has to offer. You have mastered this and provide motivation for us all. Watching your videos has inspired me and my family to go out rock hounding for the last 3 weekends. What fun! KEEP THIS UP. WE WILL ALLWAYS TUNE IN AND LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING ALL OF YOUR NEW VIDEOS THANK YOU. Jim from Apple Valley ca.

Nice you go get the truck I'll start making a pile of rocks here and you can build that jasper wall lol yeah! So many beautiful jaspers gotta love it!😀 Thank you for sharing

I can't keep doing this to myself, the stress induced headache is way more than a painkiller can handle, you are one lucky guy. That has to be common Opal surely looks on my screen to be far more vivid than jasper.

I'd bet money those jasper chalcedony mixes came from thunder eggs and rolled around millions of years.

Good video, thanks!

You really found beautiful rocks

I'm learning how to "grunt" with excitement!

Nice material, Nate.thanks

You are finding some really beautiful green

Shared on my Facebook page to my friends and family, now on with watching and enjoying the Quest at hand! Surely to enjoy and comment more! Did some of my own questing today in the rain and happiness is in nature! Thanks for being a inspiration!

Oh yes, never a bad wonder... Absolutely amazing finds, super envious at the moment though I had a great day! Maybe you can tell me what I found!

Around 5:46 you pick up a stone tool, which answers the previous question. Really pretty.

Merhaba. Kolay gelsin. Yeşil ağırlıklı harika taşlar buluyorsunuz. Akarsu vadisi, bu tür taşların bulunması yönünden zengin görünüyor. Bence bu vadiyi bırakmayın. Başarılar dilerim. !!!!!

My new favorite channel 👍👍

Awesome! Rocks.

LOL...that's me in Alaska in the late fall freezing my hands off in the river and rain!!!!

Great waking up with my coffee on a Sunday morning and seeing you posted a 42 min rock hunt. Thanks for making my morning and for freezing your *** off for us. And btw, I saw ya dropping those rocks and reversing the video. Can't get nothing past me. lol. They were just flying into your hand. Very creative on your part. Peace!

the close ups are AMAZING! I want to go.

Salutari cu drag din România! Te urmăresc cu interes și vreau să îți multumesc pentru tot ceea ce împărtășești cu noi în fiecare video! Prietene, continuă, faci o treaba minunată! Ai grija de tine!🤗

Interesting story about the oak and the woodpeckers

Thank you again for your wonderful videos. Can you please tell me where I can find some of the green California rock. You have referred to it as Jade in the past but on this video you call at chirt. I can’t seem to find any and I am on the East Coast where we don’t have it. Thank you so much. Do you have a website that you sell on?

Awesome...

Spectacular greens! Green is also my favorite color. My eyes are Army green, maybe this is why. 😊 Some cool editing by the way. I didn't know you were a magician. The rocks want you to find them so badly that they just jump up out of the stream, right into your hand. 😉😊☺️ The Jasper's you're finding reminds me of paintings done by the famous, Jackson Pollock. Especially one done in 1952, called Blue Poles. You'd love his work, I do believe Nate. So, so much like Jasper. You should look up his work if you are not familiar with it. 😊

Wow,really sweet finds once again.Curious to know what you do with all these rocks.They can make for some really sweet cabs for sure!

I like to take the family dogs on long walks. Also I like geology and have learned to combine the two. When looking for rocks the rain is your friend, It allows them all to shine. I live in southeast NORTHUMBERLAND. We don't have your land laws that I know of. If we do, they are ignored. We mustn't deny the beauty to stand tall and be witnessed.

Fabulous video! 👍👍 Looking at those jaspers and listening to the stream is so relaxing. Would you ever consider selling some pretty rocks from that area? My youngest daughter would flip to own some. I've never seen anything like that in the southeast. I like the new GPS aspect or whatever it is. Tyfs.

Wow!!! I want to go rockhounding with this guy!!!!

Wow! Such colors 😍 woul love to see some of those in jewelery! You're truly living the dream! I wish though one day to be able to travel and see all that beauty! Do you shape any stones and sell them like in a chakra set by chance?😊😀
