- 1-7-2021. Today, on bread and circus Sunday, we decided to head back down to Lewis County and collect Carnelian Agates, Petrified Wood, and Jasper. Studying geological maps and exploring pays off. Success is to be expected. So please sit back and enjoy!

I love some carnellian adventures
Roughn it through the hail to collect, you have my respect.
I love the fact that you are posting another carnelian video, Ive been waiting for this, the last one was just so good! You guys did really great this time too! Nice to see your wood finds and the jaspers too, thanks for sharing your adventure. carnelian agates are just so beautiful, theres something about them that I'm drawn to.
Because I now live in a burn area (Estacada OR) the topsoil has all burned off, and all of the volcanic rock is exposed. I find jasper and agate deposits, its very hit or miss in the western cascades in my area. I found a 2 pound banded carnelian recently. would love to have your email so I could show you a picture of this beast of an agate.
Yes for sure their is something mesmerizing about them and we are lucky that we live in one of the few places on earth that they are found.
I’m in Spokane but the woods look different maybe by Seattle area I’m thinking, nice big chunk agate, you guys are so lucky 🍀,
The weather on this side of the mountains is much wetter and cloudy most of the time so we aren’t lucky in that way;)
That's a potato rock! Love your vids, your son has a keen eye. :-)
WOW! amazing finds! those little ones turn into little cabs, beautiful treasures you guys found, thank you for taking us along on this hunt
Very nice agates. Cool video & thanks for sharing.
Great finds thanks for sharing the adventure 😁👍
Some great pieces in that area, the last one looks stunning. Keep Safe & Keep Ro+kin
These sizes are very similar to the Lake superior agates we get here in Minnesota! We will make a trip out there some day!
Wow another successful day. I will keep scouting for public property around there on my Gaia map cause would love to find some of that!! We shall head down to explore again! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful lovely rocks
You should post videos of what you turn the agates into. Would love to see them.
Fantastic large agate sweet find
You guys find the best stuff! Always fun to watch.
No agate at the end, but I bet that rock shines up nice!
Carnelian agate Heaven! We don't have a lot of carnelian in Montana so it's an awesome treat to see you guys get so many. Great agates, petrified wood and jasper. Thanks for sharing your adventure and amazing finds!✌🤠
That's so amazing!! I would love to be doing that with my son right now!!
They are all soooooo beautiful! But I keep seeing some that you are passing by, and it’s driving me crazy!!! 😅😅😅
You really found some very interesting coloured gems there..😇🥰
great video as always
I would just like to say thanks for posting your videos.I’ve done a bunch of rock hounding in Washington state only because that’s where I live. Been up Hanson Creek more times than I can remember always had a good time up there.Thinking about getting back into it and heading to red top Mountain in the next couple of weeks before the snow sets in. I’m glad your son is taking an interest in rockhounding with you that’s some good quality time spent together.
Thank you
I love to go with you ( by video) on trip to see how more of this interesting gems you find.
I love thise little carnelian pebbles. I'd make them into jewelry.
I make carnelian silver jewelry with my finds
@@jeremyjacobs2246 cool
Wow awesome finds , this makes me think I should have gotten into minerals a lot earlier lol, I love hunting for rocks , beautiful spot for hunting rocks, is this in Washington state , thank you for sharing your adventures 💙😊
Yes its in Washington state
Thank you 😊
It’s not an agate, it’s a potato!😅
I do enjoy your videos, Aidan and Vug Dad. Thank you!
Сердолик, сардер, линкурий, карнеол, агат, яшмоиды всяки, круто! 👍👍👍👍
I live in grays harbor and recently went down there and got like 3 big buckets of Carne. great place for sure! are you hosting any trips soon? I would love to meet up and do some hounding!
Hi, I don’t normally plan on meeting up for trips. It’s kind of a last minute plan of the day for me and Aidan when we decide to go somewhere. That’s great you know of a spot to find them!
@@vugmeister918 oh yeah no worries! jw if that was something you did, or would do in the future. most of our trips are last minute too. We should have some nice clean rocks now that all the snow has cleared. I feel like the spring and summer should have some great yields.
Your videos with your son are amazing. My husband and I have been to Lewis County too,and you have NO access anywhere. How do you find these roads. We have looked and looked and did topos. But everything is Warehouser. You sure are right about them closing off everything.
I find these in Australia, I found one with water in it.
Show d+
I would love to go with you on one of these ventures.
That is the same saw I have . Nice machines is it 16 inch blade? I bought mine used up by sea tac Airport. Nice trip you guys had. I live in southwest Washington pretty much any creek.you can find carnelian. Good luck on your next trips.
Thank you, mines a 14 inch.
Any creek is hard to explore as they are all on private property. Only have found one creek accessible. So disappointing
I live in Washington and would love to go hound in for those gorgeous agates any time can you give me the location I need to go so I can have some guidelines here I would like to venture out soon to see what the creek brings up after the snow thanks Mary Beaudette
I'm here in western Washington too an just started to get into Rockhounding from lake Cushman area to Long Beach to Rainier an Vernonia Oregon an everywhere in between and just about any creek or lake or cave I've been to, I've found something that I liked or a prized find. I'm mainly looking for a geode to crack open, but have only found a couple pieces of one. What I've been seeing is that a lot of places have more traffic than others an what you want is to be in places that aren't traveled by many people or to dig in the places that have been picked over already because most people look on the surface. After a storm or winter is a good time to go back through areas as the rocks have moved around quite a bit, exposing what's been lost an buried. For me, part of the fun is finding areas that aren't documented to have anything an my own spots. Once you find a honey hole, you'll want to keep going back An there's folks out there that don't care to preserve the area an will destroy it or sweep the area clean. Which is unfortunate. I watched a video of a guy here in Washington that found an abundance of agates an such, but he then puts some in places for others to find. That was pretty cool. I've got online an looked at the geologic resources map an it shows the areas that have what's known to be found, an it's pretty vast. I'm still learning what to look for in nature for tell tale signs of what's there. The hardest part for me is identifying what I find. Either way, it's always going to be as valuable as I see it to be. Half the time, rocks just look cool. It's a really cool thing to learn about. There's a lot of awesome stuff that looks like absolutely nothing from the dirt an grime on them until they are cleaned. Anyway, head out anywhere an explore. You're guaranteed to find something. Even on the side of the road. Best of luck Mary.
He won't give location I've asked him before
Where in Lewis county? I recently moved here but only know of one spot. Would love to take my kids there!
i used a dandelion picker rod, a small shovel, a sifter 1/4 holes, and a small pitchfork when i dig carn in nj, the creeks look very similar to yours.
Can any one tell me where to go rock hunting in Lewis county most places I found I can't get into because it said no trespass
Gez save some for other ppl 😂😂
ITS BACK AGAIN!
Ragnar ❤️ carnelian
Hi Ragnar!
@@QuartzCowboy Hey buddy!
I'm sad I live in Washington and haven't ever found any carnelian...
Keep trying you will. It’s also on a lot of beaches.
I found a bright red one today here in Montana -
Very cool, I love Montana
'Garand-thumb?'🤔
Have you guys hounded the Olympic national forest region or the areas around Mt St. Helens much? What sorts of stones have you found there if you have? I've found some pretty interesting stuff, but not sure on the identification an wonder if you have found the same.
We’ve haven’t hounded the Olympic Peninsula much. Mostly we look in the Crescent Basalt formation for zeolites. I hear there’s some pretty good poppy jaspers in the rivers though. Never around Mt. St. Helens.
@@vugmeister918 I recommend you check it out; I haven't explored too much yet, but I got some property out there now an from what I've seen it's a good area an everywhere I look, it's everywhere. I find a lot of green, mossy, type looking quartz rock. Some blue and grey with interesting patterns, an what I think might be phyllite (blue/grey/pink with a almost metallic sheen like graphite). I have a chunk that's layered like kyanite almost with some rainbow type colors with quartz perhaps. Just started my Rockhounding journey so I apologize for the description an not the names. Red Top Mountain I think it's called is out there an I hear about it a lot. An it's a gorgeous area full of hikes if that's your thing. I thought there would be much more around St Helens due to the volcanic activity, but I didn't find too much where I was at, but still some unique finds.
I seen those Zeolites you found out by Rochester, that's really cool. I've been meaning to check out some more quarry type places around me an see what I find. I've found a few of those Poppy Jaspers. Creeks an lakes in Oregon and Washington. Tons of agates. I'm trying to find a geode so hard 🤣. Amethyst an some opal would be awesome too. I mined this rock halfway in a creek close to Naselle an it was a greenish blue color full of quartz clusters an odd shapes of melted formations gray in color. The stone is a little softer, an almost black when dry, grey sometimes in water an sometimes that green blue. I don't know what it is, but I like it an it's driving me nuts finding out what it is. Doesn't seem too extraordinary, but it's pretty cool, I like it. In another area in that region I came across this huge boulder an I just happened to notice some quartz on it an looked closer to find an open crystal cluster in plain sight. I tried to extract it, but I broke it. I know there's more in it, has to be. I still need to head back an see if I can crack it open an see.
It's great you post videos, I like seeing what you guys find an how you guys just are. If I find some of those Zeolites, I'll check an see if you guys have been there before an let you know. I'd like to go to central Oregon an dig around a bit. Do you have any social media accounts that are public to show pictures of your finds?
@@BuckyHoover Instagram is vugmeister. I post some of our finds there that aren’t seen in some of the videos.
Hey I’m pretty sure know this exact area I won’t give it away just curious if it’s worth driving from King County to this area
That’s exactly what we did and never have been skunked.
@@vugmeister918 yeah surprisingly I found a carnelian on the white in sumner the river banks are giving out again
In king and would love to know some places. I never found one before and really want to! Facebook so I can contact you there?
I posted 30 pages of hidden information but I deleted but still left it on the PNW Rockhounding group
@@lukekitch27 im interested
Your kid, "slice it up"
What r the yellowish colored ones?
Fossilized potato.
Where is that at?
Not to be to specific because it’s kind of like a good mushroom spot, but it’s in Lewis County.
@@vugmeister918lol Thats so mean!
@@vugmeister918 haha that made me laugh. Us mushroom hunters and rockhounds have to keep some of our best places a secret. When I scout for hours and put in all the footwork, and then some random person just says "hey gimme directions now" I kind of just feel like saying GET LOST, but in a nice way of course ;)
The spots shouldn’t be hoarded by a small amount of people the community should be more open in sharing good locations.
It’s not like you have to tell her the exact part of the creek but you could atleast name it for her, unless the entire creek is your spot. I don’t like how secretive the community is sometimes.
Are they worth anything carneilian agates
Yes. Back in medieval Europe, they were considered a precious gem.
What about these days the present day
@@Enoch591 not so these days. Semi precious.
You should put on rubberboots if you walk through water...👢
Next time.
what's the price for carnelian agates.
Not sure, I’d have to research what the current market demands are for natural colored ones are. These used to be considered precious 100’s of years ago in midieval Europe.
