I wish I lived near the coast so I could easily go hunting anytime. That looked like so much fun. Great collection of goodies. I like the story you told on the Podcast about the other guy hunting in the area, and not knowing what he missed. You snooze, you lose.
It's nice to live so close to fun hunting but it's also quite the distraction, lol. The finding season isn't a huge window of time either, mostly sand for most of the year. Can't complain. I feel bad when you find something so close to someone that doesn't know. I usually give stuff away when that happens, like 'I think you missed this', but with the big vert, I had to keep it 😅. Thanks for watching!
Very enjoyable half hour of fossil and agate hunting on the OC! Could have easily watched an hour. Been learning a lot from your videos. Thank you for pulling me through to a better place during the pandemic with your vids!
When I was editing this one, I couldn't believe it was that long! It just turned out to be such a great day with textbook finds. Everyone's videos sure did help getting us all through this crazy pandemic, so thankful for that. Thanks again for watching and rock on!
Beautiful finds! I love all of the agates you found, especially the couple of blue black agates. Super cool fossils on this beach hunt! I'm really looking forward to you cutting the Teredo Wood and possible jasp-agate and prep that huge spiral shell.👍👏 Thanks for sharing your awesome day and amazing finds Karen!
That day seemed unreal; cool find after cool find, the beach put on a good show. Can't wait to share the cuts, polishing whatnot with ya'll. Thanks for watching!
What a great summer hunt. Cut, cut, cut! I think less forams in the grit. Love the wood. Thanks for sharing. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒ Watching from Kenner, Louisiana.
SO MUCH BETTER THAN WHATS ON TV . I AM IN COLORADO AND AM MORE INTO INDIAN ARTIFACTS . BUT A ROCK HOUND IS A ROCKHOUND . WANT TO FIND SOME OF THOSE SUNSTONES. GLAD I DISCOVERED YOU AND YOUR SITE , HAPPY HUNTING
Thank you so much! Artifacts are so much fun to find too. I'm pretty sure you've got some sunstones close to you in Utah (at least closer than here), though they don't have the schiller. You're so right, a rock hound is a rockhound! We have a Rockhound Podcast too where we cover lots of rocks and chat with hounds from all over. Check it out if that sounds interesting; www.youtube.com/@RockhoundPodcast
Thank you, Julie! Working on the preps and the video to go along with now. The big shell is looking so pretty, these beach lovlies never get old. Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Julie! I love what you're up to as well. I don't polish many of them, but when I do, a soap scrub before starting in with the different grits is all they require. I can't use any of them professionally, so any polishing and hunting is just for fun, curiosity, and research (like fossil prep). Thanks for watching, cheers!
I have some of those big spirally fossils and thought they were Musashia stinecurns also. I took them to Fossil Fest in Newport Oregon and they told me that they are trace fossils of the inside of a shrimp type creatures burrow.
How interesting! I'd love to see your trace fossils in comparison. Those guys were for sure steinkerns, or technically close to steinkern, because there was shell present to give away their identity. Fossil fest is a blast, so glad you could go! Thanks for watching, cheers!
Hello Karen! I'm new to your channel and really enjoying your videos!! My hubby & I are planning a rockhounding trip to Oregon for our anniversary (Halloween) and I was wondering if you could please recommend some beaches for us. We've only gone as far as Newport, but I'd like to go farther north. We collect agates, fossils, jasper etc. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you! Also, thank you for your videos! I live vicariously through you while watching you on the beach lol, we're in Northern CA, and it's a bit of a drive! We'll worth it though!! Oh man, I CAN'T WAIT to get back on the beach!! 💜🙏💜
Hi Deanna, Happy Anniversary! I hope I'm getting back to you in time. The summer brings us a lot of sand to the beaches so the fall/early winter can be tricky for hounding. What we usually do is drive the coastline and pull over as much as possible to check to see if there's gravel. Of course the beaches that have rivers that come down them are hedging one's bets. I don't know of any gravel wash outs near by right now but you're welcome to message me on facebook as it gets closer to when you're here. Cheers and thanks for watching!
@@OzoneFineArtVentures Thank you for replying! Hopefully there will be some gravel when we are there, even if there isn't, there's never a wasted day on the beach right?!
This was on the central coast of Oregon, north of Newport. This particular beach did not perform this year, that's why I don't name them. They're different every year and folks get flummoxed when they go and it's not the same as the video. Welcome to this fantastic rockhounding community, let me know if you have any questions about it. Cheers!
The two heelers we have without tails came from a working line off a horse ranch. They typically dock the tails of the working dogs. Love all the heelers, aren't they great?! Thanks for watching!
Hi Kara, thank you for watching. There isn't a way to msg through CZcams but you're welcome to hit my instagram and msg me, link is in the description. Cheers!

Definitely looking forward to seeing some of the things you found cut. I'm voting stinkern for 27:40 or bone... It's definitely a rock... LOL

Loved this beach hunt! So many great finds, those blue black agates are little Gems! Can’t wait to see the prep videos on the shells😊❤️
Thank you, Julie! Working on the preps and the video to go along with now. The big shell is looking so pretty, these beach lovlies never get old. Thanks for watching!
Super cool video as always Karen!!!🥳💯⚒️😎🪨🔥
Thank you!
Love you channel ❤ do you clean the beach stones before polishing them? If so just soap or Iron Out or something different? Your dog is soooo cute!😊❤
