- The Yellowstone River is dropping, and that can only mean one thing - time for some ROCKHOUNDING! In this video, Kate's quest for gravel brings her to one of her favorite spots on the river for rock hunting. Despite not bringing either her squirt bottle or her backpack, Kate walks away with pockets full of treasures, along with a truly unusual Montana agate that has waterline inside dendritic material! Come along for the first rockhounding adventure of the new season!

Kate that agate with the white center is one of the most beautiful and unique ones I've seen you find in the past several years!
Isn't it awesome?!
Sweet findzzz Kate!!!
The picture of your pockets filled with rocks makes me smile.
Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound: It's official: Yellowstone River Rockhounding season has begun! Yeah🎉!!!
Hurray!
A huge mud smudge is better than a booger hanging out of your nose. (Not that I would know what that's like - heh heh.) Great finds Kate, glad you got out on such a beautiful day and thanks for sharing your finds.
LOL! I was so sweaty and yucky!
Great rocks but gotta love the agate within agate slices❤
Yeah, right?!
Always bring the backpack! :-) Some nice finds to begin your season.
Always! I couldn't believe it. I literally didn't think there was gravel. :P
That rock at 7:57 is art!
Isn't it amazing?!
So many beautiful rocks and no backpack! What were you thinking young lady? Lol! That syringapora was gorgeous! And big! It was worth the whole trip out there! Thanks Kate!❤
TBH, I didn't think there would be any gravel! Now I know better.
Too cool 😎, it's fun to pay it forward and give newbies your nice finds. It gives them rockhound fever 😊 and then they are hooked. 😂
I love it!
You always find beauties! Thank you so much.
Thank you too!
I bet you said, "It's about time"! 😎🤗👍
That agate within an agate is awesome 😎..
It's such a great feeling when the river drops.
Hi Kati. I was gonna say those footprints were probably Theos, but he wouldn't have left you anything to pick up!🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome. :)
Agates & Michigan Rob calls the nearly agates = "Magates", LOL.. Now you will have to bring Spray bottle w/ batteries, Backpack, & maybe even a screwdriver, &/or brush of some kind.. You are fun to watch..
Thank you!
You are having a good day!
I did. :)
Wow, what a great trip today, lots of nice ones! Was making me so happy to see that! And then you shared an agate with a new rockhound-that really made me smile! Thanks for sharing your rock wealth, and thanks for sharing your expedition with us! Great as usual!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, it's always so cool to share.
Love this hunt!! What you call a small agate would be HUGE on Lake Superior's North Shore.
:) I'm aware. They are big here - but LSAs are beautiful too.
@@KatyDidRocks they are so beautiful
Awesome
Thanks!
That one side of the red stone with the agate in it kind a looks like a snake belly with the stripes across the stone like that that is really interesting. I think it might be pink granite.❤❤
It does!
Hello Kate and Jim! Kava too.
Hello!! :)
What a great day u had❤👋🇫🇮
It really was. :)
We are in Billings today and plan to do some hunting. It's so hard because there's so much quartz everywhere! I have a hard time telling them apart. We have lots of jasper, basalt and quartz but not much agate. Hoping we can get lucky later today! Maybe we will see you out on the gravel!
Haha - my pockets often look like that too!!!!
So Attractive! :D
That is a nice agate!
Thanks! I agree. :)
I’m heading to Michigan west shore and I’m hoping to find at least one cool rock. Thanks for taking us along! I enjoyed that- some real beauties
Oooooh, I hope you find something awesome!
Keep me in mind if you decide to not keep it all to yourself. Which I don’t blame you a bit for. Following, and can’t wait to see it polished.
Trying to decide what to do with it - It looks like it might actually iris as well if I cut a thin slice.
Great finds Kate. You rock!
Btw, sorry we missed the premiere. Josh and I hunted at that spot for awhile and were completely drained from the heat. Then we came back to my truck and I gave him some awesome stuff and he gave me some awesome stuff snd he had to move one to go find those sapphires. It was absolutely awesome meeting you, Jim, and Kava today. I so much appreciate you taking us out as well as loitering us to that other location. I have had such a blast out here with everyone. Theo and Travis were great yesterday and Josh has been totally awesome to hang out with all weekend and a good portion of Friday. I look forward to seeing your video from today. Take care of yourself out there especially on days like this. Wow that heat.
Thanks so much!
The heat was crazy! I'm glad you had a good time. Thanks. Jeff!
Guaranteed you will wish you had a backpack if you don’t bring it 😉. That egg yolk agate was awesome!
I agree!
The rock @7:15 had a Van Gogh vibe with one eye over another. 😂My daughter and I were debating how far your shirt would be stretched out trying to carry the rocks, but she reminded me that we always fill our pockets first. Almost on cue you panned down to show those bulging pockets!😂😂
Funny story about that - I considered using the shirt, but I did the tie-dye myself, and it was literally the first time I wore it out, so I didn't want to get it all dirty. :D
@@KatyDidRocks I can definitely understand as a tie dye fan myself. I really enjoy your channel. I just think you and Jim are great people!
We call them Fools Agates around here versus the actually used Johns tools of pointy rocks.
:D Well.... Fools Agates are a decent name...
jasper gives color to the rock-hunt, hope this will be a good seasonLoved that red granite and little red Jasper, and some others, so you did find something!!
Yep! It's great to get a start to a new season.
Katie, get an extra backpack for your vehicle?
LOL, Lois, I literally had bags in the car - I just didn't take them along!
You need a back pack for Kava!
I have considered it...
Haha you are going to regret not having your bag
I did!
Are you going to sell the agate with-in an agate by the slice? Very interested to have one to display from Katy-did in my collection.
I am thinking about polishing it as a specimen - it seems unusual.
Hi Kate It's 97° degrees here in South Georgia right now; was 99° degrees here in South Georgia today IT'S STILL HOT ugh 🥵🔥 Hey Kate if I was there I'd be taking a dip in that water 💦 lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Today is a good day for dipping - currently 97 here.
You must have pockets the size of saddle bags! Happy hounding summer 2004.🐎🐎🪨
Ha, I definitely should have had my bag with me. :)
