I FOUND A BIG ONE!!! | Hunting Prized Yellowstone River Moss Agates | Montana Rock Hunting

okay i'm gonna go ahead and say that we probably have to find of the day here alina and i saw it about the exact same time it's a pretty massive chunk of agate right here really dark let's take it down over into the sunlight and we'll spray it off look at that oh man that's a beautiful moss agate guys check that out what's up rock hounds it's alex we've got lydia and we've got kip as well and we are heading out to the yellowstone river down by pompey's pillar which is kind of a famous landmark here in eastern montana so we're going to head down to the river we're gonna be doing some rock hunting for agates petrified wood all sorts of river treasures so we're gonna head on down the river and come along with us we'll see what we can find all right it looks like we found our way down to the river now we just need to find a good spot to do some rock hunting lydia and kip are having a good time you can see we've got a nice little gravel bar to hunt here so we're gonna check it out see what we can find hopefully some good stuff i've had good luck here in the past and we'll just kind of go from there okay here's the first find of the day folks nice piece of petrified wood really quite pretty isn't it just love all the petrified wood that we find out here don't we lydia oh what have you got there that's a nice rock too okay we'll see what else we can find hopefully lots of goodies okay we definitely got our first agate of the day here you can see it right here looks pretty fractured up but it could be kind of a nice moss agate let's clean it off and take a better look all right here it is cleaned up pretty standard just montana agate there's a little bit of moss in there you can see but it's pretty fractured so a good way to start the day but i'm guessing that there's gonna be more to find i did see that there's a little piece of petrified wood down here as well so we're getting there we're starting to find some stuff but we've got a long ways to go lots of hunting left to do and i think we're gonna probably find some really good stuff i think we just found a really good one guys i don't know if you can see it right over here oh man oh that looks really good let's spray this baby off oh gosh there's definitely some banding in there okay i'm gonna get this cleaned off and we'll show you what we found okay guys definitely a solid agate find you can see there's some subtle banding in there kind of on the inside some interesting material on the top here and you can see those bands through the back as well really nice sizeable agate so that's an awesome uh that's an awesome find stoked on that kip are you excited we're having a great time so hopefully we're gonna find some more stuff like that um because we got lots of more searching to do got another little interesting find here this is also an agate there's quite a bit of host rock on top though with some green in there which i think is pretty interesting so um i don't know i always like to kind of show you guys different stuff but yeah it's kind of fun it's i mean there's not a huge area to search in terms of like you know some of these gravel bars in the yellowstone are massive but i always enjoy it searching through these little rocks just because you never know what you're gonna find and we're finding some good stuff so i'm enjoying it all right definitely got another little agate sign here it's been actually a little slow but hey we'll take what we can get right there may be some little bands in there always pretty nonetheless and again like i said it's been definitely been on the slower side i don't know you never know has somebody come out here and hunted the spot or maybe you know not a lot of stuff's coming out of the gravel we certainly didn't have super high water this year this kind of looks interesting doesn't it interesting so anyways we're still exploring and we've got lots more to search because there's more stuff on the other side of this log so we'll see what else we can find and kind of go from there okay i already kind of sprayed this one off because i wasn't 100 sure but we definitely have an agate here and honestly it kind of looks like a like there's some very very faint water line in there i don't know if you guys can see that it's a pretty one though really clear it seems like most of the i guess we're finding out here so far are really clear but um that's just sometimes how it goes so maybe the next one will be a big treasure stater or something all right we got another nice little piece of petrified wood here it's a really dark one hopefully you can even kind of see those tree rings on the camera always sort of a subtle beauty to the really really dark petrified wood but what i find is that it it uh tends to not tumble really nicely it just gets really black which is cool but um you know not my favorite necessarily say here's kind of another interesting find not entirely sure what this is but you can see that there's definitely some calcitini in it just filling in here and there i'm guessing that overall it's some sort of jasper or shirt but it's interesting it's an interesting piece all right so you guys are probably wondering how things are going things are good actually um really enjoying our house um kind of get in the groove with two girls so yeah i mean we're kind of moving into fall i don't know if you can see behind me but the trees are starting to turn yellow so that's always an exciting time of year in montana although you can kind of feel winter creeping in i just played in a disc golf tournament my second one i got fourth place which was pretty awesome um yeah it works good life is good definitely trying to do a little bit more lapidary stuff over the winter so hopefully that means more videos for you guys but as always i hope you guys are all doing well and thanks so much for watching we'll see if we can find some more stuff for you okay we're gonna walk down to a different spot to hunt for just a few more minutes before we call it a day so this might be a slightly shorter video than normal but we'll see okay i'm gonna go ahead and say that we probably have to find of the day here alina and i saw it about the exact same time it's a pretty massive chunk of agate right here really dark let's take it down over into the sunlight we'll spray it off look at that oh man that's a beautiful moss agate guys check that out that is stunning wow look at that moss right there that is incredible what an epic find can you guys see that that's amazing well there you go there's a classic montana moss agate for you [Music] pretty stoked about that okay so i dug this out of the side of the hill kind of a pretty piece of jasper and there's some interesting little quartz pockets in there but i thought you guys all my jasper fans might enjoy this one definitely interesting meanwhile kip waits for a stick okay i got what i think might be the last find of the day here because we're getting running out of time with naps coming up but here we go we've got a little agate down here definitely really pretty and you can see that there's like a little pocket in there this could be kind of an interesting one to cut open there could be some interesting stuff going on on the inside but man just look at that thing glowing well thanks so much for coming along guys um this was an absolutely awesome hunt i know it wasn't very long we didn't find a ton but the things we did find were pretty epic especially that huge agate so thanks so much for your support as always if
