I was just door dashing and stumbled upon a gravel pit today. Found 4 nice chunky agates! I wish I had a bigger saw lmao, I think mines 5in and the agates are far larger than that diameter :')
Nice finds!
I'd say that was a successful agate hounding day! That last cut one is a beauty. I love the little pocket with the orange spray around it, in the quarts!!
You know what...beauty is in the eye of the beholder...the one you called a 'stinker' at 8:43 is actually in my humble opinion a beautiful stone gradiating from deep amber red to terracotta to orange to the dotted yellow brown mix...it's BEAUTIFUL! Polished as an oval cabuchuon, it will be a fantastic stone in a pendant... You are too obsessed with little lines and bands LOL!
You scored on the road side finds that day! Wow!!! And the size of your finds too. Just wow!!! 🤩
Every time I watch, I think that slabs of some of these stones would make cool mosaics. I think some of the quartz heavy ones would make awesome abstract 'stained' glass window pieces.
I think these videos where you cut some of your personal finds are some of my favorites.
I’m glad!
Always love your videos, not only the thrill of discovering what beauty lies within, but also your absolute pleasure in the process. We all enjoy!
I come for the agates, I stay for the way you pronounce the word because it reminds me of my childhood. (Born in western NY and moved to AZ when I was 9.)
Northern Illinois here. I'm in Idaho now. I love hearing him "aygate" too!
I was just at stoney point and canal park yesterday rock picking-i found out that dog saliva works better than human spit (more glossy sheen)! Happy hunting!
Cut, cut, cut. Somedays peanuts somedays hulls. They are all more beautiful cut. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoy seeing the beauty inside the agates.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful finds. ❤❤❤
The one with the fracture that you shot down at 7:11 is just georgous! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Reminds me of a century egg
32 HOURS!!! Can’t wait!
I liked the fall colors in the one you said was nothing (agate wise). A polished slab might make a nice autumn necklace
I would love to watch a video of how these Agates are formed with your voice narrating and explaining it. Your joy for the beauty of a rock makes me a better person.
When you open them, they look like butterflies. So excited every time you cut one open beautiful just beautiful.
If you had made the cut closer to the window, would there have been more banding and less quartz? with how the window looks and how the quartz expanded where you cut, suggests what I'm thinking. Would you consider making a second cut closer to the window? this is where my curiosity takes me with this one. I love watching your channel.
SPECTACULAR ! What great finds.....I sure wish they used natural gravel around here but they use crushed concrete from road replacement .... WOW! so glad you found those beauties.
I have watched almost all of your videos, and I can not believe how huge these are on the side of the road !! 😮
Side of the road? Hmmm...🤔 No rubber boots, no runaway waves, no scoop... 👍😄 It's a winner. Thanks for sharing the fun.🤗
Thank you for taking on this adventure! It was awesome!
Thanks!
This is my favourite format find and cut in 1 video!! I watch a lot of rockhounds who says that's a good cutter but often you never get to see the cuts and I'm always disappointed so thank you so much for satisfying my curiosity 🥰🤩😍
I love the last one! It is absolutely gorgeous!
wow, I'm happy to see your video, natural stones are so beautiful, greetings, I'm also one of those who like natural stones, greetings, I'm from Indonesia
some really great finds! even the bandless ones are soooooooo pretty. 11/10 always immaculate vibes man ✌️
I thought it was today, darn!!❤😅
I always go crazy watching you cur those rocks open. It's so exciting.... it's just like watching miracle is happening...who could have thought there's such beauty inside those rough and rugged things 😊
I've been an agate hunter on and off for a very long time. You found more large Superior agates in one outing than I've found my whole life. I need to rub your horseshoe! Happy for you though.
Well, you cured me of agate hunting with the snake photo.....erk.
Hi love the agates im from uk living in perth. I love scotish agates too thanks for sharing
Your videos are sheer joy, always uplifting. Thank you!
You’re awesome dude. I’m from St. Cloud and find tons of agates. But the size of the agates you continually pick blows my mind
Good morning from hot and sunny central CA.
I am waiting with the notify me setting! I love this channel.
I’m glad!
I'm an electrician at a new construction site and that's where I'm finding agates atm. I find some on Lake Michigan but not as nice so far as Lake Superior Agates
Thank you so much for sharing your videos! I really enjoy them!
Glad you like them!
It sounded as if you were at the side of a busy road collecting those agates. Thank you for sharing some impressive rocks.
I would suggest you go ahead and slab the Meh stones, and turn them into Light Catchers. Such as covers for night lights, or fashion them so they hang in a window, so the light shines through them.
I WOULDN'T polish these slabs, because the whole point is: the light shining through them.
You've got a great location. These are all a bit bigger than usual. 😃
That was fun to watch. I find agates on the beach here in Oregon. I don't know how they get the colors and bands. Always a mystery.
All those were big! You really have a good eye finding agates! 😊
Thank you 🤗
snake was flattening out cause he was defensive cause they dont know if your going to kill them or not etc.
He was in defensive position because agate dad was going to take his special rocks😂
@@SGT.BROKEN hahahaha wheezes 🤣
My favorite was the first one. Call me boring, but I love the way the stone looks like it's melting over the quarts. And the other stones are still really pretty 😊
What fun!! Love it! 😍
Thank you 🙏🏻😊
Your videos are relaxing and exciting at the same time.
Incredible finds. I even loved the ones w/o bands.
loved the snek also
Awesome finds! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Epic finds!!!
I love the orange one with the banding
The fractured one had a nice sunset pattern. Top shelf!
Waxy goodness! Gorgeous rocks....
I knew there were some! And it was waiting for you
Thank you for sharing ❤️
When I go to garage/estate sales I look at the peoples rocks. Have found some nice agates, thunder eggs. Petrified wood, obsidian. So much fun.
Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
I would live there on the side of the road! I would dig everything around! )))
If I found such a rich agate hunting spot I would never leave lol
moss agates... I like them. I like to face polish stones like this - it keeps the weight and exposes the bands, as well as the natural character.
Big agates! I hope you go back. Thank you.
I love the fractured one, it gives the rock character :D
I know what I want, and I want it now. Another agate dad vid, cause I'm mister rock vein.
I usually find gravel pits on the side of the road, gotta respect the first one out to the pit, The Stanky Stanky pittttt. Even if you don't have "permission" thanks for sharing!
Hello from Clear Lake WI!
I absolutely love your videos. Nice, nice finds.
Extremely shocked at the amount of nasty negative comments.
I love the one you call stinker
I think with the ones you don't cut you should make a waterfall display, the constant water flow would show off them bands. Nice hunt, have a great weekend.
Marvelous finds
Quick question do you have a rock Tumblr?
Some of those are so big!! Compared to the ones you usually find 😳😁🤤😍
Yeah it would be nice to find bigger things more frequently
These are amazing!
Aw, poor noodle-neck in the beginning is just trying to bask in the sun! Don't hate on snakes 🥺
Nasty things
that second one, it looked like the water lines were painted on. they look to perfect
I love the Quartz kitty cat shape in the first rock...
Good for you
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Michigan Rock is going to be jealous for sure.
In one place in western Canada I found about 3 tons of agot 1lb to 200 lb…..talk about sweeting back packing most of them the 200 pound one took me 15 hrs to clear a path and pull it along on a grain shovel…
Waiting👍❤🌹
So cool rocks 👍
That was cool 😎 I appreciate that.
Awesomeness ☺️🫶
Amazing agates ❤
The stuff I find in landscaping rocks here in Washington state is usually orbicular jasper. Really well defined orbs and not to many cracks.
At least the one has nice color variations.
Wow you gotta good ones
I have some 5+lbs Fernley Agates. I'd love to see what they'd look like cut in half
I don't know how you can cut some of them. I wouldn't be able to. 😊
I love #6
Best for last!
Awesome !!!!! 🤗❤️👍🙋🏻♀️
No way!!! Wow
Nice!!!
I may have cut that one with the bands on the end again.
Did you find those in a parking lot? Beautiful pieces for sure!
Nope!
Here in Nova S Ottawa w e have some of the best Agate beaches on the Bay of Fundy examples Scott's Bay
The one you said had nothing was beautiful!
Taco Bell!! HAHAHA 😅😅
Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: That looked like sooo much fun! 🥾🚶♂️🪨⚒️
Best for last
