(truck rumbling)
well we're off on our next adventure
this road does not have a name and it's just barely a road
we're having fun
but trying to get to the lake
in the jeep, so I would not take a little car down here, you definitely need
four-wheel drive, there's really deep sand and a lot of roots and
fun stuff to drive over
(engine revving)
alright, we decided to walk the last little bit to the lake here
the road got a little narrower
even though I don't think it's much worse
and the bugs are bad already
we're up on a high bank here
can hardly see the horizon, it's kind of hazy
and I guess we're going down here
and I just fell down [laughs]
beautiful
lot of sand here
Sam and I scoped this out earlier and it looks like there's some rocks down
this way up high on the beach, and there was some in the water
that's that rock I've shown on this channel a lot, never know what that thing is
kind of cool
water's cold but not as bad as it is a lot of times
it's June 21st today
piece of unakite
which I think we all love
we decided to just bring one scooper and Sam's way up ahead of me because I was
flying the drone
I might get my shoulder wet getting this one
oop, there goes my sleeve
that was worth getting my sleeve getting a little wet for
I don't know if you can see, but there's a film of pollen on the water
other than that it's really clear
well Sam has returned my scoop
so I'm going to use it
pull out this, I think it's jasper
big red rock anyhow
that's pretty nice
piece of unakite
purdy
that's a white one
(Rob) well Sam, what have you found so far?
a little rock with a hole in it
(Sam) an Omar
goes all the way through (Rob) yeah that's cool
find anything else?
no
(Rob) [laughs] little slow on the agates today
this tree's had all kinds of problems
looks like it burned at one point
and
now it's laying here on the beach
Sam just tossed this one to me
I like that
kind of a pink-ish rock, at least when the sun was out, there we go
neat stripes, what do you have, Sam?
(Sam) here's a rock I can't identify, but
it'll tumble up well, that one looks pretty solid
(Rob) yeah, let me see the backside
yeah, a lot of variety and color in there
(Sam) yeah
(Rob) that's just kind of weird how it's got that little pink area there
(Sam) nice piece of epidote
(Rob) that's really nice, I like that little quartz through the middle
if we have any stripey rock fans watching
that should make you happy
that's a bright one
wow
alright, we both just picked up green rocks
(Sam) this one's epidote I think
(Rob) yeah, I think this one probably has epidote in it, but
it's more granite-y back here
interesting color down here
oh
it's a very interesting color
light green and a little orange on the back, what do you think?
(Sam) looks almost like chert, but it's green
(Sam) it's very smooth (Rob) yup, taking that one home
I never get tired of unakite, you guys have told me you never get tired of
unakite either, so I hope you weren't kidding
little white in there is kind of a nice
addition
(waves lapping)
what's the smile for?
(Sam) well, I went to empty my shoe
and uh
found this beauty
(Rob) wow (Sam) almost some shadow banding going on
(Rob) that's a really nice one
alright, that's the
the one to beat on this hunt
well that's cool
that's going in the tumbler for sure
I really like that
what do you have, Sam?
(Sam) I found a neat piece of quartz-y type stuff
(Rob) yeah, weird shape
here's a different rock
this one caught my eye
I'm going to guess this is quartz, but
it's got some fun colors
Sam just tossed me this little fossil
kind of looks like Favosites, but I don't know if that can be found up here
some sort of a coral
first fossil we've seen all day on this beach
here's a rock
not sure what else to say about that
what do you have?
(Sam) epidote
(Rob) yep, I've got
a little bit of unakite
in the middle of a big ball of quartz
sometimes I forget to look up
really pretty along here
(Sam) nice little piece
red and yellow
(Rob) that should tumble nicely
pretty sky off in the distance there
and a pretty rock right here
look at the flies
just thick
that's a nice one
what'd you find?
(Sam) tiny little agate with some awesome bands
hopefully they show up
(Rob) yeah, my old eyes can't see them
taking your word for it
(Sam) all through there
(Rob) nice
the flies are winning
I just took out the shirt part of my fly suit
well I can't see anymore, but
I'm protected
think I'll keep that part off
woah
big wave
(Sam) orange and white stripes
(Rob) I like it
look at that yellow one there
(Sam) oh yeah, that's real bright
(Rob) probably chert, but
very bright
alright, this is completely unfair, look at Sam's
fly count
and then look at mine
and if I shake my leg they do that
it's crazy
you win
Sam just found this
pretty little carnelian
if you can see it through the flies
nice
Sam's just on fire with the agates lately
(Sam) pretty small, but nice little guys
(Rob) yeah
that's a keeper
what do you think of that one?
I don't think it's an agate, but it's
it's really cool looking
that's super cool
(Sam) could be amethyst
(Rob) it's kind of the wrong color for amethyst, isn't it? I don't know, it's
(Rob) purple (Sam) yeah
(Rob) that's really neat
(Sam) it's very bright, whatever it is
(Rob) you going to keep that one? (Sam) yeah, of course
I haven't seen anything that color
alright everyone
I don't ask you to buy things very often, but I'm going to highly recommend
that you get one of these fly suits if you come up here, because
I'd be even more insane right now if I didn't have this thing on
so in the description of all my videos
there's an Amazon storefront that's got some products that I recommend
and I earn a little commission if you by something there, but
I don't care if you use that link, just go get one of these things, because they're
awesome
so
that's all for us today, we'll see you next time
