hey what's up everybody i'm up for a short evening rock hunt and it's
actually a really beautiful evening but i got this hoodie on because there's
so many mosquitoes out here and we're actually off to a bit of a slow start
but i just found this lake superior agate and this is one that i will not be licking
that guy right there
yeah
oh it's got some uh
some bird stuff on there you can see the bands in there that is awesome so so cool hey mosquito
oh nice it's like a half a nodule
nice
check out that porphyry
that is really nice oh that's awesome sweet sweet just found this little itty bitty one right here
and just grab this because i saw the lines and i thought oh it's an agate and
i really have no idea what it is we have to get it cleaned up it's so dirty but
we'll get that cleaned up at the end with the rest of them
so this is gonna be our last find from the hunt i thought i saw some bands but either way i'm gonna
clean it up so we can show you here in a second but the sun is setting so fast right now it's
getting so hard to find anything at all and the mosquitoes they're getting smarter and stronger
one penetrated my beard and i'm a little butt hurt right now because one of them bit me on the tookus
and yeah i don't like that so let's head back and clean these up they won't leave me alone
so we made it back to the shop i have a bucket of hot soapy water a cleaning brush and our cute
handful of finds from our one hour long rock hunt and we're going to dump them in here right now and
i have a very important question for you at the end of this video so let's get these cleaned up
take a look at them and then we'll get to the question and as i'm cleaning these up too i was
going to say that because it was kind of dark and all these are so dusty i haven't got a great look
at any of them so we're going to be able to reveal these together so i'm very very excited about that
we got them all clean but they still have a little bit of suds on
them especially this one that had the bird chert on there and get that off
and let's take a peek i am so excited to check this out and it's full cleanness with you oh yeah
oh those bands are sweet little light limonite on the husk there that is awesome those are really
really great bands really cool here's another limonite one this is one of the first ones we
found out there i don't see any bands it's like a limonite stained moss agate nodule right here a
little cloudy going on in there that's pretty cool a couple of these small ones this is pretty though
well there's an eye right there awesome oh a lot of eyes or tubes
that is really really spectacular i'll get a better picture of that to put up
gotta do it justice you know so last find right here that is really
really beautiful cool layering going on in there the black part is very waxy and this kind of
yellowish brown is very very coarse and this guy i thought i had like very little hope that it was
potentially like maybe a very textured banding and it's not i'm not sure exactly sure what you
would classify this as so yeah i had a ton of fun on that one hour rock hunting given that it was at
the end of the day and there's a ton of mosquitoes around i think we did pretty good especially with
this nice lake superior agate i really love it and i like to give my agates nicknames sometimes
if they're unique and because this one had the bird chert on it i'm gonna nickname this
one birdie so i'm gonna stick it in the bin here behind me with the rest of the nice ones
but that leads me to the question i have for you guys and that has to do with mosquitoes because
my last couple rockhounding adventures i have been eaten alive by mosquitoes
and it's really bugging me
and my question for you is what do you use for mosquito repellent that is a little bit
more natural because i don't want to use the bug spray and the deet and all that
i've heard peppermint oil is a good natural way to repel them i know it's not going to
be 100% but if you have any ideas or tips or anything please leave a comment and let me know
because it would really help me out well that wraps up our short little rock hunt and cleanup
i hope you enjoyed the video if you did leave a thumbs up and we'll see on the next one bye
