- In trying to reach an island gravel bar to hunt for agates, Kate misjudges the current's speed and takes a little trip downriver. The only thing that was in any REAL danger was her phone - but both she and the phone ended up safe on the island, ready to hunt for fantastic Montana agates, petrified wood, beautiful jasper and the peace of mind that comes with rockhounding. Come along!

Great finds. Stay safe, rivers can be dangerous fast.
A good walking stick can really help in those situations, take it from an old fly fisherman who fell into the river far too frequently over the years. Love the big glowy one at 7:30.
Beautiful hound, Katie!!
This video broke my heart. In my head I was like no don't leave the rocks take them, they need a home please don't leave them.
Kate, love your rock hunts. I've fallen in the river looking for treasures many times! Worst was in the winter, very cold water. My directionally challenged Malamute was always tethered to me so she could explore but not get lost chasing wildlife. She saw a bunny & took off, so of course, I fell. She proceeded to drag me down the bank & into the cold water. Very short rock hunt that day. I started carrying a potato hoe 3 years ago & the 3 points of contact really helps with balance, reaching deeper, and scraping.
Thank you ❤❤❤
I ALWAYS love your adventures. Happy to see your content. You have helped this rookie rockhound a lot. And I can’t thank you enough 😊 absolutely beautiful fines. I go rockhounding when I’m stressed, happy & most importantly for exercise.
Not sure if you’ve ever tried the sprayer I’m going to describe? But I love mine. I found out about him through my nieces, that show hogs and they use the sprayers for many different reasons. I found the same sprayers they used just different name different brand at the Home Depot. It’s actually in the weed sprayer area. They’re bigger than a spray bottle that you would use in your kitchen to clean with or for rockhounding but much much smaller than a weed sprayer. Probably a bit smaller than a 1gallon weed sprayer. A small palm pump that you only have to pump once it runs out of pressure. Never have to worry about replacing batteries.
Another great adventure.
Oh no Katy! Glad you didn't ruin your phone. Nice petrified wood!
Really liking the one at 7:37!
Thanks for the hunt by the river. Please tell me where it is so I can go there and pick up some of the rocks you left behind.🤣
You have an amazing talent for spotting beautiful rocks.
Great finds❤
I would fall into the water on purpose hehehe! The Tube agate is amazing and so unique I would love to see that slabbed!
Wet or not, you find the most interesting rocks! Sorry about the dunking but glad it was warm enough that you didn't freeze to death! And glad your phone was ok! The rocks were lovely too! Lol❤Thanks Kate!❤
Beautiful finds!
I would've took that one you left there, probably a beauty of a cutter!
At present in the retirement / learning stage. I liked that green rock a lot! Would be great to see that cut. Thanks for the video.
That is Unakite. I love it too.
Last 🍊 agate

I didn't get the notification until the video was 10 minutes in
Now that's dedication my friend... Great finds and video....
LOL, I also found out that if the river current drags your shins across rocks, the rocks win.
@@KatyDidRocks , ouch!
Thank you for the adventure! I found a chunky chunky piece of petrified wood yesterday up here in Western Washington at my local river, definitely put a smile on my face.
Loved the 🐦 prints/OYAH the rocks to ❤
You only brought a little bag.?!?!?!😂

I would have needed weeks on river beach. 😂
How do you find such locations
