I wish i could find that “notify me” button… anyway, i’ll just set my alarm!
I did 😂😂😂
Already a subscriber! I keep browsing your Etsy page waiting for the right one! Love your content and your enthusiasm for agates!
😂
I have what I believe to be a Brazilian agate with an EMOJI face in it! I’m not sure how to send the picture here in the comments
When you told the wife she was marrying a rockstar I wonder if she had this sort of rock in mind 🤔🤣
I bet the delivery person hated that delivery lol, I always feel bad for the delivery people when I order hundreds of pounds of rocks
😂😂😂 they were nice to me!
@@AgateDadThat’s because you are a nice person, it’s infectious lol.
@@AgateDadthey probably know you’re agate dad and they want to see your videos of these agates cut and polished asap too!
I always feel bad when I order a bag of dog food from chewy
Muito bonitas! Não vejo a hora de você cortar .
Millions of years in the making. They are gorgeous.
im patiently waiting, taylor..... im patiently waiting...
😅
@@AgateDad 😅
Im NOT patiently waiting...I'm anxiously waiting...I think I might die waiting!! LOL TAYLOR, how can you torment us like that!! ❤❤
🤣
😂
Some of those would make beautiful bookends
He's in rock heaven!
I feel like im in rock heaven just watching! 😂
So am I❤!!
Taylor who’s the big kid in the candy store? I think that maybe you should choose one and make an awesome pendant for your obviously loving wife. She deserves one set in gold.💛
Wow! I wouldn't want to cut them at all. They're so pretty as is. We're going to have such a good time watching you blow a gasket cutting these!!
You are such a Blessed man, such a beautiful collection of agate, such a Beautiful Family. My friend The Great Spirit Blesses those who are deserving. Your kindness will never go unrewarded by The Great Spirit. I'm sure many wil see this and question my use of Great Spirit. I may not look it but i am in fact 1/2 Native American.
First encountered your channel a few days ago (completely by chance, have never interacted with this kind of content) and I'm hooked! Seeing the inside of all these lovely stones and hearing your excitement is so nice ❤ excited to see you cut open these ones too 👀
I’m so glad you’re hooked, you caught the bug!
The same thing happened to me about 3 months ago. Now I'm subscribed to I don't know how many rock channels😅😂!!!
The geode pocket ones. I like cleaning up the crystals and then polish up the agate banding. Makes it a 2 for one!
What a beautiful blessing of a delivery I would say ..
Tip that driver w/ one of them..Make it a "Bobbie Dazzler" as it's a well deserved treasure...
✌️🕊️🌎❤️🧿
Wow the Brazilian guy must have been collecting for years. Glad they went to a great home. Do a.follow up when you have some special polished up versions to show
Haha oh gosh. And I was going to ask you if you wanted me to send some for you to cut! Although that offer is still on the (saw)table. I’ve got several nice nodules from Malibu that I would love to see inside of 😂
I’m down for Laguna agates! Email/message me!
Such a great stash! Some of those large ones would make terrific bookends.
That's quite the haul of Brazilians. They are one of my favorite agates to cut and polish. I'm also a cabochon cutter and a lot of those would be great for cutting slabs. I think the larges purchase of Brazilians I've made over the years was 200 lbs, so you've got me beat by quite a bit. Congrats. You have just secured about 50 new videos! Enjoy. I know I would and do.
Social media doom scrolling somehow brought me here and I'm so glad this is where I landed! Ive never watched geology stuff, but i love the wholesome happy vibes, I subscribed and can't wait to see you cut into some of these!
Yes that’s what’s up!! Welcome to the family!!
What an amazing haul!!!! Can’t wait for videos ahead of you cutting them open! ✌🏻❤️😃
Can't wait to see these cut and polished!
Same!
Fantabulous. Loved every second of it and sure would love some of those agates.
Lucky you. Lucky us!!
Shock and awe! I wouldn't be able to sleep if those were on my premises!!
Right?!
I couldn't pick ones to sell!! I would become emotionally attached to each one!
This will truly be epic!
Holy sweet potatoes! That's a lot of agates😮😮
I know!!
the agate from minute 3:37 would look great if everything around the druse was smooth and polished 😀😋👏
Finally discovered someone as crazy as me. Look at all those rocks !! Looks like something I would do !!! Does your wife know about this ? 😄😂🤣
awe! I was hoping to see some cutting today! nice haul though!
Soon! Very soon!
18 hours!!! That's like FOREEEEEEVVVVVEEERRRR!!! Can't we do just one now???!!!!🤤😁 Ppppllleeeaaaassseee.... you know you wanna. 🤩😍🤭😏 c'mon, just 1 box.
Tyler, the thin one with bands would make beautiful cabs or unique square checkerboard pieces 😊
I’m with you, seeing the the raw of agates are just as beautiful as polished. All were amazing.
Wow!! Can’t wait for cutting videos.
Coming soon!
I hate that I had to work this morning and couldn’t watch this video as soon as it came out. I normally don’t take a lunch break, but I am today just to watch this video! 😂
Nice! Some of the agates look like they don’t need to be cut. Very cool episode!
Glad you enjoyed!!
Itis a legit treasure hunt , salute from NH . Goodluck Man . I luv how you have a mix of Treasure hunting / Being an Artist combined . Giving life and light to somthing that has been buried for so long. They stop at your place for a hair cut and then continue on there journey . So cool
The thin piece with water level bands would be nice cut up and polished. Then drill a hole in the end and it’s an epic piece for a necklace.
Yay 🎉
It's lookin like there's a lot of really cool videos to look forward to. Awsome!!!!😊
Can't wait!
@@AgateDad Me too!!!
Can't wait.You should be able to get some nice slabs out of some of those they're huge
Awesome video! The whole thing was great there are some real stunners in there
Wow I'm blown away! Seems like much more than 359 lbs! Wasn't expecting so big and awesome ones! You might have to get a bigger saw 😂
Boy oh boy! What a haul! So much beauty! You ought to find a relaxing place to hang out in your backyard and plant a rock garden. That way you can just sit back and enjoy all the beauty around you.
Someday lol!
I found a stone with quartz crystals in the wall in the basement. It's a pretty old house with a vaulted cellar
There's some absolute beauties in there.
For sure!
Wow, what a haul! Agate beauty never disappoints. I do have to wonder what your wife’s reaction was to this large of an arrival of boxes of rocks?
Absolutely amazing!
Imagine what the wealthy people get to buy. This is so cool though. That non-agate looked like some kind of sandstone/picture jasper.
I love how happy they make you.
I'm kind of speechless. I have never seen Brazilian agates before; they are gorgeous. I can't even imagine how much you paid in shipping fees; regardless, it looks like it was well worth it. Look forward to the slicing reveals, although I'm with you in thinking that a lot of them are just too beautiful as is, to cut.
The wife and I have been waiting on pins and needles for this since we first saw it listed! These are how I remember agates from rockhounding with my grandfather 60 years ago. Taylor I expect we'll see many many good vids from this haul.
Killer score! Looks like there's enough to keep you busy for a while!
You might be able to sell some of the thin pieces to someone who makes cabs. The chunky one could be sold as bookends - many people just need one book end so you wouldn't need to have pairs, I use to make gem trees and always looked for smaller chunks of stuff to mount my trees on. Small pieces are good for people who want a piece of agate but can't afford anything bigger. Especially true for junior rock hounds. Smaller pieces could be sold to someone who wire wraps. I'm sure you'll not get "stuck" with any. Great video - so much fun to see so much and such a variety of pieces.
Great vid .......... looking forward to seeing you cut and polish them very much .
Me too!
Brings a whole new meaning to "It's a box of rocks..." 😅😅😅😅
I’d have a hard time cutting some of them. So many DIY’s come to mind. Great score ! I’m from up north, 70ish miles. Nice to see a minnesota guy who loves rocks !
These are STUNNING!!!
Such a cool collection! There are some definite beauties in this bunch that stand out from the rest. Looking forward to seeing them getting cut. Liked and shared.
Thanks!!!
May I suggest the thinner pieces you have off to the side and not sure what to do with, cut them and use them as bases to supports for specimen agates. I do that often with them. Also the round leftover end cuts make beautiful full moons.
Ohhh my! What lovely agates!!!
It would be so amazing to be able to polish the raw but broken ones and still preserve the natural fractures! You can add varnish and stuff, but it's not the same as a good polish
Oh I can’t wait for all these videos 😁
😊
Holy Schnikey, That's a lot of work there. You better order a couple dozen saw blades.
Christmas morning comes to mind. Don't screw up cutting them, I know you are pretty accurate.
Gotta mess sometimes
@@AgateDad You are such a good example of how to organize your life as dad, husband, provider and still have time to pursue a passion. This is how all of us should be. I don't know about your faith but that is the other leg of the stool imho. I have offered before and will do so now again. If you have any desire to travel. we would love to host you as a presenter in our October show this year in Springfield, Mo. Bring your family, enjoy Branson, etc. We will do all we can to make it a cheap, but memory filled trip.
this is crazy and I love it
I have never gasped so much
over Agates in my life.
Wish they were the kind that were
featured every Fall at my Cities
Gem and Mineral Show.
LOL, the FedEx man must LOVE you 😂😂😂😂😂😂
❤wow agate heaven for you! It must be so exciting!
That's got to be overpowering! How great. Have fun (and so will we)!
We sure will!
I'm here to support overdoing one's hobby. Follow your joy! 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Beautiful beautiful I’m glad you’re not cutting some of them they’re wonderful just as they are
Bet you dream IN BANDS!
I know I do for days after a find. Love love love those bands!!
Yes yes yes! Never enough cool rocks.
Gorgeous
Some beautiful agates you've cut open so far from it. These will make some fun cutting videos.
Fun fun fun!! I am afraid these will be too rich for my wallet. I would love to get one for my youngest granddaughter! She's 9 and becoming a rock hound like her grandma!!
Cool! Thanks exciting!
I just got a hold of some of this stuff and I'm beginning to wonder if there's such thing as small Brazilian agates. Mine are all big too! But they are beautiful!! I can't wait to see you cut some of this open!! 😁
Very very cool! About a year ago I bought 30lbs of agates (and the box look just like yours did when it arrived). They're larger types so they can't be cut easily in my 6" Cabking slicer so I keep them in a 5lb bucket next to my chair and like to look at them. Eventually I'll get around to cutting them. Can't believe you bought over 300lbs! You'll be busy for years. 6:01 was my favorite. I love the Carnelian almost caramel candy look of it.
Hopefully it takes years!
As a massage therapist, I recommend getting that bucket of water up a little higher so you aren't bending so much.
My mind is gone. I was looking down my CZcams home page and saw you video. Right away my brain reads your title as " I bought 359 pounds of nuts !" - I am gee, he better eat those fast or some will spoil.
Why would you NOT?? Haha
They're so big! Cant wait to see them!
Marvelous
Bro, myself and my family would love to go out rockhounding with you some day!! We watch your videos all the time!!!!
Ugh, as fun as that was, to watch you unbox all those glorious agates, I was REALLY hoping to see you actually CUT some of them as well!
Too much, huh?? 🤷♀️
Can't wait, to see when you do cut them, Agate Dad!! 💝
There's one teeny tiny flicker of green in that beautiful stone.
Those are boulders! Lol
That’s what 359 pounds of rock looks like!! I guess I’m safe when I get my wagon and go rock hounding. The wagon I want holds 450 pounds. Lol
Agate envy 😳
It doesn't get much better than that, does it?❤😂🎉😅
In the rock world, no lol
Soo cool!
Looooooove it!! Holy, holy, hooo o o ly!
Make bookends out of that big one!
Oh boy ! That will keep you busy for a while ! A labor of ❤ LOVE ! 🙀👵🏻😱🖖🏼👽🐲
Hey Taylor @AgateDad I have seen on other people CZcams pages that people that have those big agates and medium size agate and Geo agates and they can’t polish them on their king cab or they don’t have a king cab because the agates are too big I’ve seen people use a handheld polisher to clean up their faces and everything and it has all the different grits that you need as well. And as for the agates with the crystals in them, you could use that handheld polisher and polish them up and sell them on your store and people will buy those up because people love them when they are all polished up. Oh and also you can get a smaller handheld tool to polish in the places that you can’t get with the bigger polish anyways I thought I would tell you what I have seen on other people’s CZcams page as always I love your page and your videos I have been watching you since you started your CZcams channel
That was 359 lbs of rock you just moved. Be careful of your back. These are beautiful amazing only 1 dud. Excited to see the process of cutting and polishing ❤
Lookin Jacked brotha!
Thanks lol
You only think you're tired now! LOL❤
😂
I think 0% of your viewers though, "Why does he need 359 lbs of Brazilian agates?" Pretty sure most of us thought, "Hell yeah! I hope he cuts some big ones in this video!"
