- In this video I take you along on a rockhounding trip to a secret place I know where the ground is literally paved with shards of petrified wood and it sounds like walking on broken glass. There's big pieces too, and lots of other cool rocks. Come along and be amazed...

Hi Mike, Beautiful area! I would've liked to see that place 60 years ago. Just can't imagine how many tons of pet wood got hauled off! Looks like you'll keep your tumblers well fed when you get home! Safe travels back to Florida! Thumbs up! Jim
Nice! Question: could it be you are finding some good stuff each time you go due to new material eroding out of the hills each year? Kind of like how you explained about how it works with the fossils in Nebraska. Or is it pretty much done eroding out of the hills now? And yes, I admit I was one of those who was saying "Why put it back? That's a nice piece of petrified wood!". I think I would probably hit the daily limit in no time at all😅!!!
You say it looks like the surface of the moon. Now you will get some people thinking that is where they filmed the moon landing.
All that white soil, have you ever came across Apache Tears, or other forms of obsidian? Arizonian here and in places like this I’ve had in incredible luck finding Apache tears in areas not known by rockhounds for obsidian. I do wish I knew this location😉 awesome video thank you for sharing your time there with us.
I haven't found any here. Next time I go I'll especially keep an eye open for them.
Could you please tell us where it is exactly thank you
You don't really expect me to tell everyone where my best sites are, do you? Every rockhound has their secret locations. These sites are the product of a lot of research and off-road exploring and hiking. I'm always exploring. I tell people who ask to just get out there yourself and look around like I do. Maybe you'll find even better places than mine.
