- A trip back to the new petrified wood hill for some crazy finds. Agates, jaspers, quartz, petrified wood and a giant tree fern make this a trip for the books. Check out the first day I found this locality here: • Systematic Exploration...
Oh my goddddd this was amazing! Your geology is so different than mine in PA & I’m just mesmerized by it! There were so many cool rocks all around you that I would have been legitimately overwhelmed 😅
So rad ! I'm out in Sunriver, me and my lady go out all the time, we're just starting to really dive deep into all this. You ever link up with other people? Was thinking of checking out a gem show to meet people.
Sweet videos!
I love the one you left! Great finds. I just got back from the area and found some nice pieces but nothing like those.
Nice! Do you post videos on YT?
@@itslattice4195 yes I do. Been mostly scuba diving and fossils but doing some overlanding and rock hounding videos this year.
The best discovery of crystal stones, friends ...Very inspiring and useful ...Always 🇮🇩💎⚒️⛏️😍👍👍
Thank you so much!
Man that monster tree fern/agate cast is just too good to be true!!! I'm so glad you went back to the awesome wood/blue agate hill! I love how the geology can change every 100 feet, i always find that interesting... The rounds are so nice, I love the grain so much in them. Just imagine how much wood is 4 inches under the ground on that hill, probably 5x what your seeing on the surface. 🤯
Yeah I couldn't believe it when I dug that fern out. Was not expecting that at all. This spot has definitely surprised me with so much diversity in a relatively small area. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated!
Famous last words just stop looking down don't look down anymore I don't want to care anymore don't look down wait there's something cool there
This is what Rockhounds dream of at night! Nice job!! 👍👍💚
That's true. I dream about collecting crystals a lot. One thing that's not super common in Oregon so my subconscious has to remind me at night.
This is becoming one of my favorite rock hounding channels. Nice finds!
Love to hear that! Thank you so much!!
I like to carry a stiff nylon brush to help remove dirt. Saves on water. What a fantastic local. Thanks.
I just got one this week to clip on my pack. Too much hand scrubbing!
Some absolutely amazing finds there! Keep your cards close to your chest and don’t lay them on the table (but you know that!).
Good call!
What an awesome jackpot man! Your hidden valley is paying off huge! The giant tree fern is outstanding, and that big red one is a serious score! Thanks for sharing. The hardest thing about rockhounding is leaving some behind, but such is life. Later.
This spot is turning out to be great! It's a perfect winter spot. Too many rattlesnakes in the summer.
Thank you for sharing
Love it! Keep up the hunt!
As long as I can, I will!!
I love watching your videos. I live in Central Oregon too, I think pretty close. I enjoy watching you hunt on days I am stuck inside due to snow.
Thank you! I'm just north of Bend. Had to skip this week. Too cold out there.
Wow, would love to see some of those pieces slabbed up. Nice work yet again!
Thanks! I'll try get some chopped up.
Awesome finds , thanks for sharing.
Thanks you!!
Would love to see some slabs cut sometime if possible? You find some beautiful pieces.
Beautiful Finds
Thank you!
Wow Jay, what an amazing day out in the woods. The Fern cast is simple amazing. I find similar material down here in a location near Lost Creek Lake. I think that a lot of your wood it looks more like oak than sycamore. The radial pattern in sycamore is really wavy while oak is straighter and displays a distinct turkey feather pattern. Always enjoy your videos and hopefully someday we can meet up and do some hounding together.
Yeah that fern was a total surprise. Thought it was a big agate. Glad it's tough. Watching the extraction makes me cringe. Just scrapping my hammer across it. Looking forward to a future hunt too!!
This is an amazing spot
You are rolling in rounds! Amazing finds!🌞
Stoked I found that little patch. Amazing how much wood there is and how few rounds there are.
Wow!!!! I really need to come down there and explore!!! May seems like a good time!
May's a good time usually. Might even find some morels while you're out hunting agates.
@@itslattice4195 nice!!!!
Good!
Thanks!
Sycamore for sure! Epic finds man!
Right on! Thanks!
Wow, was that return visit worth it! I had so hoped u couldn't resist digging up that red whopper. 😮🎉
Had to get back out there! I still have a bit of terrain to explore that I haven't hit yet. Probably do one more trip to this area before the rattlesnakes come out in spring.
So cool
Thank you!
We are totally flabbergasted by the amount of beautiful float material you find, and toss aside! We're heading to the area for a couple days this week, are willing to share any low elevation spots to look for small but pretty rocks?
Yeah there is so much. My home is out of room. We have to be picky now. Just about any blm land in Crook County has potential. Crooked River gravel can have many surprises and is easy to access. Just head out of Prineville up the river and anywhere there is gravel in the roadcuts or river bed you could find some goodies. The land around Prineville reservoir has lots of stuff too.
Last one was beautiful but I don't blame you for not wanting to haul it out. It looks really heavy😮💨
great video! I wonder do you need one pair of outdoor working & hunting boots to do detecting?
Cool
Dude! Let’s go Rockhounding together sometime! I live in Bend.
Right on! We'll have to plan an adventure.
@@itslattice4195 Heck yeah dude! What's your Instagram handle? (Trying to figure how to get in touch without posting our emails on here)
I’m going to be in Oregon this summer. Can you send me some directions to some of these sites? Thanks
Just about any hill in Central Oregon has some potential!
Dang ,, the ones you throw away would be on my shelf ha ha ha ha but that’s for real
I'm out of shelf space!
Oh man this is amazing. If you're ever down to trade special locations I have a few that I think you will like!
Right on. You in Central Oregon too?
@@itslattice4195 I'm in portland but make trips out there fairly regularly!
This is an amazing spot when are you cutting again ??
Probably cut up some after the trip to my blue agate spot!
Awesome day! Great finds!!
Yes it was!
12:18 was some creepy ass/cool shit. Looks like a skeleton face in there
Dude, take me with you!
You in Central Oregon?
@@itslattice4195 Up in Yakima, Washington.
Culver here I'm heading out to the IZ area in a week
At 6:00 was sweet
How do you go about finding places like this
Lots of hiking, Google Earth and BLM/FS maps. Always checking that next hill over goes a long way. An area can be boring and then across the drainage on the adjacent hills it can be phenomenal. I don't let empty patches discourage me or make me think there's nothing to find.
Please message me where you are hunting . Thank's I do live in Silver Lake .thank you
That's a little bit of allright
Facts!
Take for me i am from Hollandgood
Any good rock hunting in Holland?
What’s happening brother? Love your content. Just an FYI petrified wood has different regulations. As other rocks. Do not you’re only allowed to collect so much petrified wood a year although it’s awesome content I don’t post. None of the wood I find. Because what I’ve seen them do to people I know that took too much home file a claim, and you can take as much as you want home keep up the hard work and if you’re ever near Boise, let’s hit up graveyard point I’ll show you some awesome stuff
What's up man. Thanks for looking out. I'm aware of the regs. I don't really hunt wood much. This is a winter spot that I'll ignore 9 months of the year because too many rattlesnakes and its really hot. I don't take most of what I show. Only the select, choice pieces. I wonder how the agate casts are regulated. Are they considered wood or agate? Would be interesting to know. Would love to get out to Graveyard at some point!
I want to go live out by Richardson ranch😮 👁 want 2 go
"LATTICING " !
Latticing! I love it haha
Did you say blue 😊😊
I got a big blue trip in the works. Central Oregon's best blue agate.
Can't wait
