  • Kate wades her way to an island rock paradise as the Yellowstone River finally subsides. The hike is worth it, as she finds amazing agates, gemmy agatized wood, colorful jaspers, all the rockhounding treasures she has been longing for while the river was high. Come along on this rock hunting adventure, as Kate and Kava explore the marvelous gravel bars of the Yellowstone River.

    Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: What a delightful rock hunt. So many beautiful finds! This video is a balm to my "rockhunting-deprived" soul. I am physically improving, so by this time next year, I'm hoping to go rockhunting... even if it's at a rock shop!!!

    Katy my wife and I were planning a trip to Florida in the fall this year, but after watching videos from you, Theo Kellison and Montana Rock Mom we have changed our plans and are now going to Montana in August to hunt for some pretty rocks at the Yellowstone River. Thanks Katy!

    That TSA was just amazing! And pet wood finds, whether agatized or not, are amazing. And that one with the blue in it was awesome! And that gorgeous pet wood piece towards the end, was phenomenal! A lot bigger than you thought! Lol! So beautiful though! Thanks for getting me off the couch to go along with you! It was awesome! Thanks Kate❣️

    Katy thank you for taking us along..that last big piece of pet wood had some gorgeous reds....I commented no thats mine...LOL. Getting back up there is on my list. Was in Fort Benton in 2015 but that was a genealogy trip. On the road to Loma there is a roadside marker showing the names of 10 men killed by indians, there are two with the same last name, one is my 3rdgreat grandfather and the other was his brother. I loved my trip to Montana it is such a beautiful and clean state, I was very impressed...Thank you

    I love the videos Katy, I would love to come do this with you, I carry a lot of rocks no matter what.
    usually around 80-100Lbs is my max but as long as it’s worth taking I can help you carry as many rocks as you want, I won’t complain.

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  Před měsícem

      Hey there! Treasure State Agate is kind of a catch-all name for fortification agates found in Montana. Originally the name was intended to label agates found in Montana that looked like Fairburns, but it has morphed into a broader definition.
