We Got to Hunt for One of my Bucket List Agates! | Hunting for Beautiful Crowley Ridge Agates!

In this one, we make a stop on our return route from Florida to cross off one of my bucket list rocks: Crowley Ridge Agates! I absolutely adore Crowleys and have always wanted to find my own, so getting to stop and hunt for some was such an awesome experience, even if we did only have a few hours to stop. We ended up walking away with a gorgeous little pile of heavily banded agates, a handful of extremely well preserved Favosites, some banded chert, and even a few pieces of petrified wood! Alexis even found a huge geodized Crinoid calyx! It was a great day for sure, and I am so happy we got the opportunity to stop and cross off one of my bucket listers! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out soon!

    Sorry, I’m a mom so I have to suggest things: you should carry a small bucket at all times in your vehicle with the tools you use to collect - a spray bottle being the first item.

    I actually do have my "travel box" in my car but I forgot to transfer it over to Alexis's car for the trip🤦 spray bottle, extra rock picks, chisels, bug spray, sun screen, hand sanitizer, a first aid kit, and paper towels, perfect for my trips but doesn't do much good when I forget it in the other car😂🤦

    @@leslieprather2611 yes, this was on our return route during our road trip to Florida, there are definitely more corals in Montana the farther east you go though! Like in Billings I have maybe found a small handful over the years, but from Miles City onward, you will typically find one or two every hunt. There seems to be a lot more coral out there. I was just as excited about the corals as the agates in this one! We NEVER find this many corals in one day!

    These rocks originate from Crowley Ridge, Arkansas; a 200 mile stretch of land, protruding upward, that used to be an island when the Gulf of Mexico extended up into Utah. The Ridge continues to rise by millimeters every year, pushing up new rocks to be eroded away on a regular basis. Amazing the variety, even found one exceeding 3 lbs. and is complete (no fractures or break offs). :)
