hey what's up everybody welcome back for another rockhounding adventure today we're up on the
north shore of minnesota and we're going to be doing some exploring on a river now i'm
currently walking along one river that i've been to many times but i'm heading way upstream i'm
going to cross through the woods to a brand new river that i didn't even know existed over there
and hopefully nobody else has gone there either pretty excited i'm a little nervous
kind of rolling the dice because the spot i'm at right now i know has some really
good stuff here we found agates jasper galaxy stone a lot of amazing stuff but
gotta explore the new spot gotta go check it out so let's head there right now
so i'm still walking about halfway there i underestimated how far the spot was away
but i'm walking through this creek right now before i jet over through the woods
i look down spot of this right there oh
my gosh carnelian and amethyst or no is that it looks a little dark we'll have to get it
get her cleaned up and look at it later but man well hey found something before i even got to the
new spot not going to complain today wow that is a beautiful lake superior agate i'm so excited wow
i was just sticking that agate my pocket and i looked up here
and i think i think that that's a limonite stained agate right there
yep yeah it is i do have a little scrub brush in my
pack so when we get to the other spot oh yeah that's a agate for sure oh cool
back to back sweet when we get to that other spot um we'll get them
cleaned off and we'll show you again let's keep walking unless i find more then i'll show you
about a couple things here i'm getting out of that little part of the creek this guy right here
oh my gosh see that right there looks like an agate in host rock it looks like it's full of them
let me see if we can pull her out
pretty sure that's the name looks like there might be a few of them
what the heck like that looks like one right there and then right there i'm gonna break this
thing open and try to grab those pieces and then i started this as botryoidal print really beautiful
i love that green cool i'm gonna break those open we'll show you when we get to the spot i've been
walking for so long through the woods got my gps up so i know i'm going in a straight line kind of
trying to take the path of least resistance but oh my gosh i did not know it was going to take
this long to get here but i'm just about there oh man i've been walking through this kind of stuff
the whole way just to get to a new spot my calf walked right into like the
like a blunt end of a fallen fallen tree so my legs it's not that bad but it's bleeding
and uh scraped my arms up and stuff man this better be a good spot we're almost there though so
i think it's just right up over this bank and then we'll be there hopefully
oh my gosh we finally made it yes
oh let me grab those shtones i found on the way in i should get those scrubbed off with my brush
i'll show you those and then we will start looking through this this is a new spot for me
i'm actually surprised we made it here so let's uh get those cleaned off quick
so we can find more goodies but yeah here's the battle wound it was dead on just poked me right
in the uh right in the meat meaty part of the front of my calf i don't know if that's meat or
dad bod or what but yeah here's the ones that i knocked out of that one weird looking host rock
looks like calcite to me calcite i guess aren't going to have these flat surfaces a limonite
agate looks like it's probably a limonite moss see it right there carnelian beauty what a stud
yeah that looks like purple a little bit of hidden purple in there and then i picked
this up along the way not thinking much got her cleaned off amethyst with a little bit of agate
running in there and host rock that is awesome and as i sat down to start doing
this i looked by my tiller and i saw this thing sitting right here so clean that out for you
that's an agate get out of town a lot of agate on host rock wow look at that
cool well hopefully this spot hasn't been searched and we are the first ones but we
gotta start looking to find stuff so let's go spot at this guy sitting right here
some host rock looks like it's got a bunch of quartz quartz pockets here that's really pretty
you don't see a ton of vug pockets looks like primarily quartz
that's pretty cool so i just found this guy right here really beautiful
botryoidal quartz got some points and stuff on there that's really cool and uh
also look down and spotted this i haven't touched it yet it's probably just quartz but
i saw some orange right there try not to get my hopes up too much a lot of this stuff has
that potato skin ends up being nothing but i figured i'd show you even if it's nothing
oh it's probably just quartz looks like quartz
this would be safe for [ __ ] what's frog hey buddy
yeah she's just quartz all right one of these times we'll pull out a big old honking
i've been looking through this bank a little bit spotted this
absolute probably didn't see it there absolute beauty it's like quartz and rock it's really
dirty really pretty it's kind of broken up right there so i'll probably leave this piece
but as i was looking around wondering you know maybe the spot's been picked
right there can you see those bands
oh it's got some limonite some carnelian that is quartz and that quartz looks purple oh my gosh
that's gotta be let's go clean her up check that out
bands all the way around what an absolute beauty oh it was worth it it was worth it
coming out to this spot the trek just to find this one right here get out of town
a little bit amethyst there hiding in the limonite stain banding right there
oh geez let's keep looking here up on top of the riverbank found this guy
carnelian i don't see invisible bands might be chalcedony
that's a little vug pocket i'm a horserack there that's pretty cool
that is such a beautiful bug look at that
yeah leave me alone fly just found this little ditty some nice contrast banding there and uh
i'm so confused because right here down that's jasper
with quartz and egg bands hey companions what i've heard of jaspagates but i've never heard of jasper
with agate bands unless that's not jasper and it's a plume
you guys let me know i'm confused looks like jasper to me
almost looks like it has oolytic patterns there but there's agate banding there
get out of here that is so rare i mean if that's jasper which i believe it is right there
that's jasper 100 percent and agapans that is a first for me i cannot believe that oh my gosh
what a great day i'm so glad that i get to share this with you guys oh my wow
oh my gosh i just took down another it's another piece of jasper with quartz quartz spans running
through it wow but this piece that's pretty cool looks like zeolite or feldspar that's pretty neat
got ourselves another one right there actually just walked over this little shard
nice little lake superior agate
all right so it's been about 10 minutes i found a little handful of goodies
i already showed you that one and that one i guess only found a few
but i found this guy right here looks like it's got some bands in there
kind of hard to tell cause they're small but it's like part of a nodule so that's pretty cool
but i'm gonna start heading down the river because i just checked the time and realized
it's a long walk back and i only got so much time out here today so i'm gonna start heading down the
river we're gonna find stuff along the way pretty sure of it so as i find stuff on the way back
we'll show you so i am confused folks look at this
that is weird what are you this is breaking off
that is cool though what is that
i'm that stuff seems hard but there's like banded quartz and it's
purple you can see quartz pockets right there like do i try to pry this stuff up probably not
gonna be able to what is this yeah that uh that is coming home for sure if you guys know what this is
let me know that's crazy i almost wonder if that's amethyst running through there
yeah that's interesting very very interesting
i told you we'd find more it's another
is it or is it banded quartz
that is
something spectacular what are you man alive i'm getting lucky today
wow that is really beautiful look at that right there
check this out
carnelian oh i haven't seen it yet obviously there's a fracture there oh boy
that's bigger than us
oh my gosh
oh wow it's like a fractured nodule it's got some bands right there as well look at that
and the sun comes out right as we see it wow
we're getting so blessed today this is amazing
ourselves a little one right here almost looks like that has amethyst too it's a little
one more for the big nice carnelian quartz
oh yeah she's got some really nice bands in there oh boy what a day
found some more stuff here nice little uh quartzy bit i have found agates that look like this inside
so it's probably agate on the outside quartz on the inside nice galaxy stone here with
funky pocket that's pretty cool
pretty cool looks like there's some
characteristics going on right there by my pinky yeah we were just about to the end so we'll see
what else we can find here in the next two three minutes on the way back hopefully we get lucky
well we didn't find anything in those last two to three minutes of our walk
back but we did find some absolutely amazing eggots jasper bunch of great stuff today
i was so happy to bring you guys along if you liked today's video please leave a thumbs up

that anybody else had been there so super excited that we're the first ones there and if you've made
it to this point in the video gotta let you know a little secret right away in the video i was
crossing over a log and my shorts got caught on a broken branch and i ripped my pants in a not so
nice spot so the whole video i've been walking around with ripped shorts pretty big gash so
