    Good morning Elley🙋 Me & my 12 year old along with 2 Arizona prospectors had so much fun looking for thunder eggs and blue agate in the Lake Pleasant area of Arizona the other day🤙 I thought of you and a few of your thunder egg videos🔥 Pretty agate and petrified wood💚 I always love your excitement🤸😁🌵

    if you don't want to carry your rock hammer, go to a store like Home Depot or Lowes and in the garden center find a dandelion puller tool. It looks like a handled spike with a v shaped blade on the end. It's light weight but would work well for digging out the rocks.

      I have one of those. I added a line on it and clip so I could clip it to my pants. It doesn’t bother me a bit and my hands are free. But it’s right there if needed. I got a husky brand from Home Depot. I love my rock hammer but I love that tool more. My son thought it was a big screwdriver.

    It IS petrified wood. Much of the red minerals at Yellow Cat are silified wood. It is hard to find since the whole area has been picked over for so many years.

    I love your channel. Discovered your video on the black hills Rockhound Area recently and you got me to get off my old, out of shape butt and head out there. It was so much fun. If I had found your channel when I was young I'd probably be a geologist like you. Your channel is inspiring, fun, and so interesting. Thank you.

    I have soooooo many agates from the Willamette River in Oregon. I started putting them in garden pots and beds. They are everywhere

    I love the Yellow Cat Flats area. Been there 3 times now and each time find another favorite area to collect. Glad you got to see it.

    a great quote...once you get an eye for what your looking for, it starts to appear...I learned this when looking for chantrelle mushrooms....never had gone for them before, no idea what to look for in regards to them...my gf showed me what to look for in regards to area, other shrooms about, etc. We harvested a great amount of chantrelles that day once I knew what to look for...great piece of advice

    My OCD was making me scream inside when you dumped all of your finds on to the gravel for cleanup. I kept thinking "Elley! How are you going to separate them again and o.m.g. what if they get mixed up and geeeze your gonna lose the little ones...". Finally, figuring that you have probably done this once or twice before, I calmed down and realized that I too have done the exact same thing and survived.

    Wow, great hunt. Great job finding the exact location using the guide book. It proves they can be pretty accurate. You make exciting videos. The landscape is spectacular! Catch you on the next one.

    Wow!! So many beauties. Totally glad you rolled those boulders. I never know where I’ll end up when I’m rockhounding. Not sure if you’ve been hounding in Ohio, but we have beautiful flint. ✌🏼❤️😊🍀

    Elley, when did you film this. It looks so sunny and warm. We are looking for dry places to hunt for Valentines and Presidents Day
    Any suggestions?

  • @lylelay
    @lylelay Před 9 měsíci

    You need to make another try at yellow cat. It looks like you didn't get to any of the really good spots. There Are spots where you can get the agate/calcedony such as you were finding plus black and white petrified wood, massive agatized barite (looks like petrified wood), mud balls (which are agatized septarians), Agate replaced barite balls (bright red agate) and other possibilities all with less walking than what you did.

      @lylelayh We are going to Yellow Cat for the first time this weekend. Any help finding Chalcedony, Agates & Jasper would be appreciated. Not familiar with the area. So highways, dirt road name's, landmarks, etc would be helpful.
      Thanks!
