      All we have by me in creeks is mud and limestone. There are deep quarry mines full of water around here. Putting in a fence post required diamond bit drill! No agates;(

      Pay for a fairburn vacation. It's cheap. Gas, hike, content. No agates though.

    A nice walk to couple of new places. Prospecting for agates in the sunshine. What a fun day. 😷⚒

    3:20 could it be black tourmaline with jasper or red hematite? I found some MN pieces online that look similar. I enjoyed this walk and the sound of the waves. Liked and shared.

    Another great field trip and finds! You should create a bumper sticker saying, "I love agates. They're so fun!"

    That first one was very cool! Can't wait to see what that spot holds once the water goes down a bit.

  • @girlnextdoor369
    @girlnextdoor369 Před 2 měsíci

    Woooo hooo! The large rock you wanted to know about…. My guess is Black Tourmaline.

    Hello, I'm from California. Those banded rock is actually a banded obsidian.

    • @AgateDad
      @AgateDad  Před 2 měsíci

      Minnesota doesn’t have obsidian sadly

    • @CacklingChick
      @CacklingChick Před 2 měsíci

      I was thinking the same thing as I found a puece just like that out here in California. A FB group thought it was amygdaloidal basalt. Not so sure about that.

    Great river hunts...watch out for ticks and mosquitos and poison ivy.

  • @SteinEiSammler

    The stone at minute 4 could be serpentine

    Great new adventure, the quartz nodule at 6:30 would be a great tumbler. Have a great day, happy hounding.

    I so enjoy watching and learning from you! I have been scouring some Lake Superior shores for agates/rocks west of Whitefish Point. Have mastered Petoskey stones and pudding stones (i live north of Petoskey) for years and now want the challenge of agates. Keep the great videos coming!

  • @brucewayne3048
    @brucewayne3048 Před 2 měsíci

    Possibly banded chert at 4:00. Not sure, i don't usually see it where the bands are that contrasting. Beautiful nonetheless.

    I'm living vicariously through your videos! I can't wait to start looking again. We're planning a trip to Duluth in May or June. Do you, or any other commenters, know of any good places near there to hunt?

    Большой камень был красивый, и наверное, интересный внутри. Возьмите с собой молоток геолога, чтобы отколоть кусочек.

    man this makes me want to go out and touch stones. but then I'd have to go out :(

  • @e-nglish635
    @e-nglish635 Před 2 měsíci

    Tektit?
    You’d better have a magnit with you in case you’d like to check if it’s a meteorite (the one in the video is not a meteorite).

  • @denniscastle936
    @denniscastle936 Před 2 měsíci

    The black rock looked like it could be petrified wood

  • @elainelear4982
    @elainelear4982 Před 2 měsíci

    Do the agates grow from the inside out or the outside in?

  • @infiniteinsane5148
    @infiniteinsane5148 Před 2 měsíci

    Maybe it is zebra calcite vine

  • @Silasposton
    @Silasposton Před 2 měsíci

    I am an old rock enthusiast, coming back to it now, as I have a new lease on life after a recent hospital excursion. I’m looking for any tips as a new lapidary hobbyist. I am in the process of purchasing a small trim saw as I do have some creative ideas and other rocks that I can find around my area. Is there decent and much cheaper way to make cabs other than to buy a very expensive cab machine? I already have a Tumbler And I will be purchasing a flex shaft, multitool as well. Just curious as to if this may be enough as a start for polishing, cutting and shaping. Any, and all help would greatly be appreciated friends. 👍🏻. Thank you

  • @amymandeville8342

    I'm wondering if that waxy rock was flint.

  • @CacklingChick
    @CacklingChick Před 2 měsíci

    That big chunk at 3:47 looks like a mix of basalt and jasper. I did this video rock hunting what I thought was odsidian near Obsidian Dome, here in California czcams.com/video/IWFKxxgKotk/video.html. Nice dice as a Facebook rock group said it was amygdaloidal basalt as basalt can also have conchoidal fractures. I think I see one in that chunk you found. Some of it also has the same bands as the one you found. Who knows, but that would've been awesome to cut on a bigger saw! ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️
