  • Kendra and I just spent another day rockhounding on the amazing Kokernot 06 Ranch. We had a wonderful time and found lots of great agates. This video will give you a taste of what it is like to spend the day looking for rocks out there in beautiful West Texas.

    I am a part of the Texas Rockhounds! I post pictures of the stuff I find here now and again. Great finds! That jaspagate is my personal favorite.

      Thanks James! You should definitely make it out there sometime. The hunting is unreal.

    First of all, very nice to finally meet Kendra!
    Those are all triple grade A finds!
    OMG, what a fantastic place!
    Scott, if you ever want to sell one of those or trade for a Canadian Agate, please let me know.
    Just fantastic, pal!

    Beautiful Finds, my favorite
    Was the Crayola Agate!
    Wish I could find one a little
    smaller than your's. I'm hoping
    that I can find one this Fall at my
    City's Gem and Mineral show!

    Just found your channel and subscribed - great job narrating the show and tells! Former Texan living in the Seattle area, but hope to be back in less than 5 years (nice rocks here too, though). Really beautiful specimens - can’t wait to see what they turn into!

    You have to look for fractures on these large pieces or you will end up mostly with tumbling material!

      It has become my favorite spot as well! If you check my playlists you will find lots of videos showing the West Texas rocks in action. For the last few months I’ve almost exclusively used them.

    Hi Scott! Do you have any advice for starting a local rock club? My area lost their club years ago and I want to start something new again! Love your videos!

    • @spwinaustin
      @spwinaustin  Před 24 dny +1

      Hi, thanks for watching! I recommend beginning with a social media group on Facebook or the like. You could start a rock lovers group for your area and then once it grows you could work it into an actual brick and mortar club with monthly meetings 😁. Good luck!

    You need to move your phone just a little slower when you are in the field. I got whiplash a couple times!

      There are definitely snakes there but fortunately we didn’t encounter any. Lots of other critters as well 😏. Thanks so much for watching!
