  • A long-time desire to fossick here became reality during our South Island adventure. The prevailing tides sweep all kinds of treasures up the coast from out of the rivers south of Birdlings Flat and they end up here for all to find. Agates are the most sort after along with rhyolites, epidote, and granites hidden within the other beach stones.
    Tick this location off of your bucket list as there are pretty stones to find each time one goes for a walk along the beach.

      If I had more time I'd be more selective looking for the beautiful agates that others have found there.
      Thanks for being a part of our adventures

    This is amazing. We are taking a trip down the South island next year and I'm watching all your videos and planning a rock hunting expedition. Thank you for your wonderful videos. Where is your shop?

      Thanks for watching, there's so many more locations I'd like to visit. I'm sure you will have a blast on your trip. Our shop is called Heaven's Ascent in Riverslea Mall Edgecumbe Eastern Bay of Plenty, just out of Whakatane heading towards Tauranga.

    Great video, and such a great place.
    Pretty stones too.
    I like the way you seal your pvc barrels. Can you still buy them???

    I’d like to see you slow your panning, and practice where to hold rocks for a close up, and don’t wave your carry bag in the view

      All these things I intend to do but get carried away with the moment. Thanks for the feedback
