- This was my first time ever hunting the state of Kentucky for anything! What an absolutely beautiful area full of nature, cool rocks everywhere and near endless areas to explore. We set out to hunt a well known creek that was supposed to have agates and occasionally geodes/fossils. We found some rare fossils that I've never found before, many agates worth cutting on the saw and we both had a blast exploring.

I think that this type of hobby is highly underrated I mean I don’t understand how people can hold something from 50,000,000 years ago and not be absolutely mystified
Literally though, yesterday I went to a small river near Oregon to swim, and I just reached down in a pile of rocks UNDER THE WATER, and somehow pulled up a beautiful fossil. It was incredible.
All I want to do is rock hound....
For real.
Person: look at my collection of shoes.
Me*digs in pocket*. Look at these 10 rocks, possum vertebrate, feathers and dead bug.
They're not.
@@robtrindade9087 how dare you 😯. Lol....
Y’all don’t understand how bad I needed to stumble upon this video during my google search for hematite crystals in ky geodes😂. Had to move to CHICAGO a few months ago from Berea ky and I’m so homesick. I walk the beaches of Lake Michigan and take in the skyline view but it’s nothing like being back home exploring.
But anyway, my point is that ive been struggling and this video was the best therapy ever to help me stop feeling sorry for myself…and not just because you found some nice agate, but also how you took time to show us the wildlife and nature along the way. That was very thoughtful and the world needs more people that appreciate those kinda things. The dead copperhead was neat. You know ur in a Kentucky creek with them. Lol. I’m The last few years I’ve seen them almost every time I got in my kayak.
My bestie used to laugh about how excited I get when I find something good. I see why now cuz y’all react the same way. 😊 Thank you for lifting me up and not even knowing it. YOU ROCK GUYS.❤
Oh shit I'm from Berea! I went to Berea Highschool. The world's eleven small on the internet.
Nature is so amazing.
Nothing man-made comes close.
God-made can't be beat!
Keeping lapidary tradition alive! Yes, please do more cutting/revealing/polishing vids!! Love it!❤
I second that!
Dad joke ahead... My kiddos and I go fossil hunting with my Dad. His FAVORITE joke is when the kids will bring him a rock, and ask what it is. He tells them, “It’s a Leaverite.” Of course they ask what that is. He’ll reply, “Leave ‘er right there.” Aka a plain rock lol. Gets ‘em every time lol.
I love that Dad Joke!
Hey Chris - are you are Bri going to be pairing up for a while, or is Kyle coming back for videos as well?
Hahahaha, that's a great dad joke!
Oh god. As the youngest rockhound in my family, I can't tell you how many times I've heard that one! 😂
hahahah..I WISH my dad was still alive Id lay him on to that one..for the kids...hed LOVE IT!!!! thanks!!!
I love the enthusiasm and joy you both have. It reminds me of when I lived in Tennessee and my dad would take us out to the creeks to look for fossils 😊
I just found you guys!! If only I had found cool people like you…. I won’t say how long ago!! I never anyone in my lifetime like me!! I was a little kid who had sacks full of rocks!! Anything with crystals, and I had lots of agate( just didn’t know what those pretty rocks were ate the time!) I also had several bags of arrow heads. I live in Eastern Tenn, and they were so plentiful at that time. I would follow behind my dad when he plowed the gardens, and pick up handfuls of arrow heads. When I was about 10, we moved, on the same property, just to a newly built house. All my collections were left in an old shed at the old place. When we went back to get the things out of the shed, someone had been there and everything was gone, including all my arrow heads. It so plunked me out, I never tried very much again. I so regret that now. I’m so glad you two found each other, and now have a shared community of people who, like me, loves all things of nature. I may not be young anymore, but I’m going to be one of your biggest fans!!! Someone who shares what I love❤️ Keep finding wonderful things!! I’m so enthralled I feel like I’m right there with you!!!🙏🙏🙏❤️
You sound like me. Southern Indiana, I had three shoe boxes full of arrow heads. Years later bought grandma's farm and they were gone. All my rocks too.
Ladies please get back on that horse. Maybe not as plentiful but still awesome! Just be waaay more careful (like me) because we are no longer Spring hens! Lol, 😘 at least I’m not- will be 59 this year!
@@bethkahn8278 Sort of the same thing happened to mine Funny, I to had two bags, not boxes, and don’t remember how many bags of rocks, several geodes and agates, and milk quartz with little crystals. My mom and dad built a new house, and I had to leave them all behind, meaning to go back in a few weeks to get them, and all the rest of our stuff. But someone had came and stolen everything! Even my rocks, which was weird!! Anyway, collected a bit more in high school, but not since, sadly. To bad each of us didn’t have someone to share our love of whatever we can dig up!!! 😂😂😂God bless❣️❣️🙏🙏🙏
I repeated myself sorry!!! Forgot what I had said!! Happens!!
same, I had to leave so many bags full of rocks on camping sites in other countries, I actually hope someone else found and kept them😃
I used to have relatives who lived on the outskirts of Potosi, Missouri. When we would visit them, we were always walking down to the creek to find our “diamonds”. They were rocks that had these big points on them and in the sunlight they would shine and to us, they were diamonds. I am sure they were some sort of crystals. I have sacks of rocks that my mother would pick up from all the places they traveled to. Some are marked as to the state or area she found them in. Watching your video took me back to my childhood and our “diamond” days! Thank you for sharing this!🙏
I would love to see a video on cutting open cool rocks
There are plenty of channels that cut rocks
But none are Wild Kyle
And none are Paleo Chris
@paleocris what part of Kentucky were you prospecting?? And what's the most valuable specimen you found in Kentucky??
That snake was definitely a copperhead, awesome rocks!
Thanks. Couldn’t put my finger on it.
They are venomous snakes, be careful they have rattlesnakes and water moccasins in creeks.
Lavender bull nose?
@@patsmith5947 Water moccasins and copperheads, are the same thing. And there are many snakes that look similar to copperheads, though I am inclined to believe the one in the video is a copperhead, only because I cannot see it up close, and it's better to be safe than sorry.
I'm sorry I meant water moccasins and cottonmouths. I'm so used to people saying they're their own snakes i jumped the gun.
I live in Kentucky and it is a beautiful state. From Mammoth Cave National Park (The longest cave in the world) to all of our beautiful lakes. (Kentucky has more lakes per sq. mile than any other state except AK.) I am not sure which creek you were hunting in but we have fossils, agates, and geodes in many different places around the state. The Corvette plant is here as is the Corvette museum. We also have copperheads, rattlesnakes, black widow and brown recluse spiders and bear as well so be careful when out in the woods.
I would enjoy seeing your fossils under a microscope ! I've never collected fossils in Kentucky ! I'm older now & one should NEVER collect ALONE ! More so in NEW areas ! Could we plan a trip to hunt what I need find in that State . I sure would feel a lot safer ! It's time and money saving for us both , the way things are now of days , It's hurting everybody. I'm more the Fossil person then the other ! But yes , I once cut and polished for a few years ! But I'll always be for Coal Age fossil lover ! I know what & were to find it . Could you help ? Peace
..more than Minnesota??
BTW. The longest cave in the world is not Mammoth, it's in New Mexico: Lech. Just saying. I had no idea Kentucky had so much going on. Most people think the East coast is just more NYC and just as paved over...Fun fact: The tallest waterfall in the US is in upstate New York. The shale cascades are gorgeous.
@@leebasham6100 Actually, Carlsbad Caverns in NM is the largest cave in the world and Mammoth Cave is indeed the longest. (Google it and you will see) Mammoth has over 400 miles of known caverns and it is estimated to be over 600 miles long. I was a geology major in college here in the 1970's and we studied that cave quite a bit. I have been in over 12 different caves here and some of them are pretty amazing to see. Also, just so you know, the tallest waterfall in the US (and 5th highest in the world) is in Yosemite in CA at over 2,425 feet. (Google it) Still, The falls you mention are probably the tallest east of the Mississippi.
@@Authenictruthoid If you are replying to me and my comment, I am sorry but I do not collect fossils. I am retired and getting ready to explore the US in my van for the next few years, while I still can. Best of luck to you.
I love your outdoor enthusiasm! Thank you for pointing out the lovely wild flowers and mushrooms too! So fun to watch you and your adventures.
Cris - we’re here for cool rocks and fossils!
Also Cris - oh, pretty flower
Chris, the ugly outsides of the beautiful banded agates is because they’re geodes! They float down the creeks up in the mountains as the snow melts! Look up high on the banks to find the hollow ones! I love finding the caramel and blue botryoidal insides.
I was actually finding the fossils to be as interesting as the agates. Beautiful pieces of coral, and the Lepidodendron was of special interest! They are one of the more common plant fossils in Pennsylvanian age rocks, so probably fairly easy to find in the the Applachian area of Kentucky (coal country),
I vote for more Rock cutting and beautiful things to look at. Thanks for all your work you do I really enjoy and appreciate it.
Love the video! Love the rock cutting! Love you guys together! Thank you for the pleasure of your company during this pandemic !!
The stuff you guys find is always so cool but I almost appreciate both yours, Bri's, and Kyle's just intense knowledge of the stuff out there more. Whether it's a random "rock", a mushroom, etc. It's what I watch for haha. Thanks for pumping the vids out!
Yes, cutting rocks videos!!❤ Your finds are awesome!
I know this video is a little over a year old but, I believe Bree (sp) beat you by a long shot on this one! You two remind me of a good friend and I who used to go hunting for arrowheads about 10 years ago. I really miss those days. You will always remember exploring nature this way with warm hearts 💕. God bless you both, from SA Texas!
I think an entire video of cutting rocks would be awesome. We are just as excited to see inside as you.
Bree definitely has an eye for rock hunting!! Nice finds.
More Bree views, please. Lovin’ your finds. Thanks for taking us along. The nature walk is incredible.
This brought back the memories of all the times my dad and I walked the dried up creek beds by our cottage in Kentucky, also made me really miss my cottage! Beautiful video!
My favorite hobby, creek stomping!! Great finds! Thanks for sharing
Such gorgeous country for sure. Love the flowers and fungi shots. But those rocks are fabulous. I would love to watch you cut them . Mother nature never quits to amaze me.
Welcome to KENTUCKY. Blessings
Wow, you guys are so fun to watch! Love how Happy and Excited finding cool critters, plants, and fossles, and agate!
Wow - what an amazing treasure haul - thank you for showing us their discovery, and then some of the cutting.
We have tons of copperheads here in Western NC, too. That caterpillar has hairs that can teach a person quickly never to poke another one. Rockhunting stepped up to slightly dangerous!
Come back to Kentucky sometime! We’ve got a ton to offer for fossil hunters/rockhounders
Edit: the snake was venomous and that caterpillar is a saddleback caterpillar.
"The caterpillar is primarily green with brown at either end and a prominent white-ringed brown dot in the center which resembles a saddle. It has a pair of fleshy horns at either end. These and most of the rest of the body bear urticating hairs that secrete an irritating venom. Contact with the hairs causes a painful, swollen rash and sometimes nausea in humans.[2] In some cases, more severe reactions to the venom can occur. These reactions include a systemic condition called erucism or acute urticaria, for which severe symptoms may include migraines, gastrointestinal symptoms, asthma complications, anaphylactic shock, rupturing of erythrocytes, and hemorrhaging.[3] The hairs should be removed from the skin immediately to prevent more venom spread. Cocoon may also have irritating hairs and hairs from the larva can fall on surrounding objects." - wikipedia...
.... ouch
@@joshuajones9035 i have seen these. Kinda thought they may be poisonous. Thanks. Now i know.
Can you say geode?
We are rock hunters in illinois. Where are yall?
You guys are adorable 🥰 You’re having such a good time that it’s really fun to watch! Thanks for sharing.
Bree is the only gem a person needs
please, please, please...more rock cutting. i love watching your videos. Takes me back to my childhood of walking the creek on our farm and surrounding areas.
I would love to see more cutting on your agates and geods. Love your videos. The finds you have shared with the people who don't get out and about. The stuff is gorgeous.
You guys are so awesome! Love your channel.. thanks for bringing attention, awareness and most of all Appreciation for our Awesome planet. A+ work.. and kudos for being your silly selves! It's so genuine and unfortunately as rare as your finds!
I definitely would watch whole videos of cutting open different kinds of rocks.
Ohmigosh, those AGATES! Also, I love the turtle. :)
Kate! Funny finding you here!😄 dont you wish it was that warm here in Montana right now!?🤣 i am itchin to get back out for sure
Katie I hope you got my last message about responding to wrong post
@@kallaanica7221 I don't THINK so - but sometimes comments all blur together in my mind. :)
Me too
That is the most insane color I’ve ever seen on any rock.
You should check into Lake Superior agates.
i love how excited you guys get, it sounds like you have a perfect relationship
Wow. Interesting video ✨✨✨ and beautiful stones!!! 💎 💎 💎
You guys give such a great and fun vibe from your videos. You always find exceptional pieces and I learn something from each video I see! I'm glad to have stumbled upon this channel, y'all are awesome!
Having fun watching you both freak out over your finds. I’m thinking I need new appreciation for what is in every creek ,hillside in Mo. thanks for sharing
Depending where, where I am by Branson it's all Ordovician period rock, Jefferson City Dolomite, Cotter Dolomite and Powell Dolomite. I've never gone fossil hunting but I do know that Vertebrata developed in the Cambrian period, so I'm curious but have no damn idea where to start.
In every Rockhound video I see, the people pass up a FORTUNE of interesting Aquarium decor rocks and sometimes very valueable driftwood pieces
I absolutely enjoyed this video soooo much!!! I wish I had at least one friend that would go with me rocking. Please keep making videos!!❤
Yes, more rock cutting, please! I love the Lepidodendron pieces...I hope to find some someday!
Just found my favorite things.
Much respect for keeping to task. Personally, I had a time just watching..Bri is such good company and so fun. Cheers!
I've always had a Fascination for rocks of all kinds with the different patterns, shapes colors and transparencies... time to get me a rock saw!
Thank you for the Nice and Enjoyable video... I'm also Fascinated by different rocks...
I feel more Positive and High Energy just by looking at them and it feels better when I touch and hold them...
They are part of Epic Nature and History, going back thousands of Years... Enjoy.
"So muddy.. OOooo" pans to flower. If this ain't what my brain do I dunno what is
lmaooo me too
That last piece with the strong red band is my favorite!
I love how you both harmonise over a precious and coo to each other. It's so darn sweet. God Bless and Bliss you both. Thank you for sharing the amazing vibes. 🖖😍❤
Wow! This is the second rock hunting that looked fun. I usually don't like watching these. Do you two even realize what beautiful stones and amazing crystals your finding? I'm a collector and you two are doing great! And all the other things in nature are awesome!
Absolutely beautiful
"He's dead guys. He's been dead the whole time." Made me chuckle lol!
the nature is so beautiful
Gorgeous finds. Love the plant fossils
Since I’m stuck inside with the snow we have, I live through you guys. So thank you
Too much fun rock hunting. Love to see all the agates you guys found. I'd love to see a video of cutting rocks.
Hello from Arizona, 🙋♀️ I love, love, love hunting and finding cool rocks and fossils 😊
@23:23 I can see an amazing butterfly design in the rock, it just amazes me seeing what nature can create. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful places, beautiful stones! I'm happy to watch your videos. Greetings from Poland. 🍀
Chris:"hoooo it's so pretty"
Bri: *raptor roar*
PaleoChris is awesome! He's fun, real & knows where to find really cool stuff! Long live PC's show! Peace man!
Kentucky wonders! Nature richness.
That was a copperhead (venomous), so be ware. Cool hunting. Gotta love Kentucky!
Looks like an awesome trip guys!! I’m up in Rhode Island, rock and fossil hunting at the granite piers in Narragansett. Found some nice specimens!
Wow! Loved this! Ty!!
Yes, do some cutting videos!!!!
What Fabulous agate and fossil hunting locations and so beautiful. Bri did find the most banded and colorful agates. Never seen anything quite like the agates you two found. Would love to see more rock cutting vids, but (please insert music or silly sound effects every time you start the sawing process), as it's fun and unexpected. : )
Oh my!! She has an eye for sparkles. Love rock hounding too!!❤❤❤❤❤
Yes! Please do an entire episode of you cutting open your finds 😃
Some may already know this but, believe it or not all of these rocks/stones have a consciousness, some may not realise this. They should to be treated with the utmost respect for what they truly are! You can research more into this as all the info is out there and has been for many years. I have just found your site and it is very cool, I love your enthusiasm.
Just found you and I'm hooked. You are both so entertaining!!! Although it's torture not being able to look with you for treasure...
I come from a wonderful family of rock hounds! You guys found some fantastic stuff! The one rock you picked up and then throw back down was what my Dad told us all was a Leaveright, leave her right there! We always got a laugh when he would categorize rocks for the newbies. We still kept some just because they were pretty! I loved this video! Stay safe! ❤
You two are fun and I'll watch more when I get back from my walk in the snow. Piece and good luck.
That caterpillar was a Saddleback, and they CAN sting you.
Yes. I've experienced that. Definitely burns!
I've never seen one in real life, but I was really into bugs as a kid and that one was one of my favorites.
The snake is a Copperhead.
@@eb311235 A good size one too.
I step on one as a kid and it hurts like hell
I remember when box turtles were common, is is sad they are endangered in some states, beautiful and interesting video.
Yes on videos just cutting open geodes!! Love it!
Hi 👋how are you doing?
This vdieo takes me back to Rock hunting with my Grand pa when I was 12. Great finds.
I was walking thru a cornfield and one of those caterpillars was on the corn leaf. I rubbed across it. It was an absolutely horrendous experience. Kind of like nettles but way more intense and long lasting.
I live in Kentucky. I need to know where this is!! :)
Is that stuff valuable
@@kareemwilliams1233 to some extent yes, but they’re cool rocks people collect cut and polish
There's 5 counties where you can find agate like that, but I've never seen that color. Around rock castle
@@lapidaryguillermo712 very!
Would definitely be eastern ky since that's where the mountains are
I love watching the cutting process.
I enjoy seeing your finds of geodes and other rock!!
What a fabulous haul! Looks like you guys had an amazing time, and I vote that you go back to Kentucky as soon as possible. Box turtles and lepidendron and crystals and agate, all in one place!!
Hi 👋how are you doing?
The fossil at 7:20 and 26:08 is stigmaria, which is part of the fossilized root system of the trees like lepidodendron. Nice video of your collecting trip; it gives people a somewhat realistic idea of what a KY agate hunting trip is like. (I've been on multiple trips to the same general area years ago.) The part you can't see is how difficult it is to get to (most of) the actual hunting areas. Lots of hiking and/or 4-wheeling, and you need to get permission to hunt most areas, since most of the areas are on private property, and the local residents are aware of the value of agates. Thanks for sharing.
Huh. Just like devils tower then eh?
Yeah. I'm just hoping they aren't helping themselves to my land. We already have gas line taps and ginseng being taken.
Love seeing what kind of rocks and minerals are in my Kentucky. ❤
Yes please love the videos where you cut stuff!!
Brye is a treasure. If spelled her name wrong, my apologies. Great video as always!!!
Wow! What awesome material! Sure a big difference from the Montana agates i hunt for! Beautiful stuff😄 i have to vicariously hunt through you guys at the moment; its -18° where im at😅 love your videos!👍
I love your videos too. Soon as I finish with Paleo Chris', then on to Wild Kyle, Katydid.s, Agate Angler, and finishing with yours. Sounds like a good finish to a mellow day.
Need so many more rock cutting videos 😍😍😍
I been rock hunting since I was young, still love rocks..and you found some awesome rocks..n turtles..have fun and Thank You for this video. ❤
You came to my neck of the woods I could have giving y’all a grand tour I have some awesome spots
Where is that? What creek name?
Very cool Bobby, we plan on going back when the weather is better!
New game: Take a shot everytime he says, "Oh my goodness". See you in the ER!
BTW, don't touch those caterpillars. They'll light you up good.
I didn't know what it was; but, those bright colors is a warning!
I just found these videos and live in fl it's my dream to live in a state / area of the world where you can just wake up and do what these amazing two do beautiful videos keep up the great adventuring 🥰💪
27:03~That one is my absolute favorite!! The red band is incredible!
I would love to see you come up to Minnesota on Lake Superior to find agates. The difference between agates from all over is really awesome and interesting to compare. Love your videos!
I agree!
Snake was a copperhead. Classic candy-kisses coloring. Good thing you didn’t pick it up. They can still envenomate (sp?) for a while after they’ve died. (Don’t know for how long, tho)
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. I wanted to be there! Your enthusiasm is terrific.
Thank you for not taking the Lord's name in vain! I love the rocks y'all found!❤
Does that saw at the end scare the heck out of anyone else? I would def like to see finished and polished rocks.
Yes, yes, 100x yes.... One of these times, that rock is going to catch and come flying right at it, or bind and drag his hand through....
I have to look away each time he cuts through a rock! My stomach quite literally gets queasy! I hate knives too. My Mom opened one of her Dad's switch blades then handed it to me to close but it slipped sticking up in my thigh. I bare a 50 year old scar to prove it.
If the saw is anything like a tile saw, there are no teeth and you could lay your finger against the rotating blade with no worries...
