hey everybody welcome back for another video I am at a spot in this river that
I have never been to I've been walking for a very long time to get here and along the way
I have pretty much gotten skunked this is all I have found this very Green Piece of
prehnite this really beautiful piece of red oolitic jasper and two little Lake Superior
agates and for a majority of the walk to this part of the river I've walked
in the river and I was pretty bummed out because the river looks like this
the river is now full of algae and it's really hard to see anything in it and all of the stuff
that I did find were up on the riverbank but I finally got to this spot and I was pretty
excited because I found this awesome Limonite stain nodule this guy right here and take my
word for it it is a Limonite stain nodule I almost threw it and then I got it wet and I
was like oh it's definitely a quartz bomb but it's a limonite stained nodule I think that'd
be a fun one to cut and I decided to give up on looking in the river because of all that algae and
just search this giant bank and see what I can find and I am not even kidding you I literally
just put my bag down to grab the camera and I found this two feet from my bag there is my bag
and right there is a Lake Superior Agate check out my hand that is a good size agate right there oh
I'm so excited this looks like the potential biggest find of the year oh let's unearth it
and see what is going on with it if there's any bands how big is it oh it looks like a giant
Giant Orange nodule let's go rinse it off and take a peek I'm so excited it's so big
oh it's got Limonite staining on it as well oh my gosh that is so beautiful look at that a husk
you guys not many bands but you know what the husk on that is beautiful see some lime and I staining
right here looks like some quartz you know what this I guarantee is a quartz bomb inside this will
stay as is forever I'm never gonna cut it oh looks like it's got some River wash quartz right here oh
what a beautiful find In this River uh either way I'm gonna be happy with the day but let's
see what else we can find up here looks like another piece of Jasper right here
it's got some nice colors in it and it's like the perfect shape we could make that
into a cabochon so I'm gonna bring that one home so I just Unearthed this big chunk
of pre night it looks pretty nasty on top but I flipped it over and look at how beautiful that is
so great wow that is pretty that's a very pretty
if it was a little bit better like more across the
whole thing I'd probably take it home but I'm gonna leave it here
well I am glad we found another Agate right here oh it's definitely got some
bands it's got some Limonite staining we're gonna get it wet in the river check it out
oh that's pretty oh yeah
sweet quartz Limonite stained bands around heck yeah that is what's up oh great
spotted some red oolitic jasper it's got those concoidal fractures in there
a lot of fractures it's pretty beaten up I'm Gonna Leave This one here not gonna bring it with me
but it's always fun to find this stuff this right here is a first for me that is red oolitic jasper
with some quartz stuck in host Rock I've actually never seen Jasper in host Rock like this so that's
actually a really cool find I found another piece of Jasper stuck right here nice piece more intact
but I'm Gonna Leave This one here too
[Music]
well it's been a while and this is all I have found
so the reason I wanted to come to this part of the river the part that I've never been to I've
never even searched up here before is because the theory is that up here the water isn't as fast so
some of the heavier agates get stuck up here and that was the theory I know we found a pretty good
one a bigger one but that was more down by the river so we'll see if I find anything a bigger
size I know the odds are against me in that department finding bigger like Superior agates
but it's still fun to try new stuff and that's kind of what I'm doing today looking all over
up here gotta say it is mighty hot and I forgot my water in the vehicle so that kind of stinks
but I'm having fun we're finding some good stuff and if you're enjoying it so far hit that like
button and if you're new hit the Subscribe or follow button got a lot of fun adventures
planned Rock hunting and Lapidary but I'm Gonna Keep Looking Down see what else I can find
big money yo wow that's so little so if you're with me right now you're kind of stuck with
me and my theories that I have so there's the river right there and we had really high water
levels this spring because of all the snow up here in northern Minnesota and I just spotted
this Riverbank right here you know that water has flown through there at one point so I'm
gonna walk it and see if I can find anything hopefully oh there's a bee right next to me whoa
hopefully find some goodies in there I'll let you know if I'm right or wrong
Boop that's what I'm talking about first piece of porphyry we have found today this is a dark
piece wow hahaha well that's cool if it was more vibrant I'd bring it home you probably have a hard
time seeing those crystals in there and hey just a little itty bitty thing but hey it's something
the theory is kind of a kind of all right we're finding a few things well that was pretty quick
we will Chuck that theory up to meh but I did find a nice piece of prehnite right here right there
it's got some nice green botryoidal in there I'm gonna bring that one home look at that
that's so pretty very very nice sorry very awesome just bit me ow I'm on an ant hill
my gosh that's a I haven't been bit by an ant since I was a kid grow up there it is
pretty I'm gonna put in my bag and get away from the Sandhill
hey it's been a while
got a little guy right here it does have some bands might be hard to tell that's pretty
so I just found this little guy it's nothing to really shake a stick at but we found it
and I'm gonna show it and I also found I think this is a Lima nightstand one pretty
sure I mean it's got Limonite on there oh it's got some bands on the back there
and oh oh yeah I love when they got them blue bands blue and white
with the Limonite standing that's awesome I'm happy with that we're finding stuff
it's a pretty nice piece of Jasper I'm actually going to bring this one home really beautiful
colors on there but we gotta cross this River and uh we'll see what's on the other side
so at this moment I'm making my way back the vehicle because it was a very
very long walk back here and it's gonna be a long walk back and I don't really have time to look
down and see what I can find because I spent all my time oh my gosh look at this are you kidding me
that's smoky quartz ah is there anything else so come on you're gonna come on oh there's one
on the back too there's a geode pocket full of crystals man what a sweet little what a sweet find
I want you but I know I'm not going to be able to bring you home with me unless
it's just gonna break it apart it's just gonna break it apart I better not
starting to chip we'll just leave it what a great find anyways I'll be honest I have no
idea what I was saying I'm on my way back um I had a ton of fun on that hunt I know we didn't find
a huge amount like quantity of agates but the few that we did find there's like two of them
they were really really pretty and that really beautiful orange nodule that oh made me so happy
like um I don't know if you're like me I literally have dreams about finding agates and that's how
they're placed in the dreams they're just exposed a little bit and we get to dig them out so it was
fun getting to have one of those moments where it's like a a Little Dream Come True a good find
and I know it doesn't have like the most bands but that's all right I was I'm still happy with
it it's going to go on my nice a good Bowl when I get home so um I hope you guys enjoyed the hunt I
had a lot of fun and I'm roasting so I'm gonna hop in this little creek here and cool off on the way
back as I walk but yeah thanks for watching hope you had fun we'll see you next time bye
