- Kate and Kava take advantage of a perfect spring day to rockhound for agates, jasper and petrified wood along Montana's Yellowstone River. The weather is warm, the rocks are plentiful, and the sun is shining - a combination that makes the rock hunt, in Kate's opinion, a perfect day. Come along to enjoy a relaxing and visually beautiful video, searching for rocks ... and peace.

A girl + her dog + rocks + a bucket = A good day with Katydid Rocks !
Thanks so much, Kelly!
I dont wonder why this is ur happy place❤its mine too to look❤and all the beautiful rocks in there😍😍😍👍🇫🇮👋
Bigger isn't always better. Love those tumblers.
Thanks!
I agree, Kate. Not all pretty rocks are agates. I look for pretty, and if it happens to be an agate, then it's a win/win!
Ya got some beauties. When I'm able to get to the beach to look for agate, I end up taking so many rocks as well. Some are just so beautiful its hard to leave them behind. Ticks are horrible. I got lime disease 25 years ago and have had health problems since. Be really careful.
Thanks, Cynthia. I definitely am - generally manage to get rid of them before the bite.,
“Chunky chunky, ohh you chunky rock… Chunky chunky, for you she will walk!!” lol just a little play on that “chunky song” you always start singing and have stuck in my head lol. Love these vids. I’m learning so much and being amazed by beauty at the same time. Thank you!!
😁
Beautiful rocks!
I really like the videos where you slab the finds
:) I understand. Slabbing does take a lot of time, so it doesn't happen always.
Wow Kate! That day really was a diamond! Those brecciated jaspers were just gorgeous! And and it's not everyday that the jasper finds can outshine the agates but holy moly were those awesome! I definitely think those are absolute cutters! And there were some totally phenomenal pet wood finds as well! And that limbcast was just amazing with the agate banding in the middle! And you did find some pretty spectacular agates as well! Just a bunch of banded beauties! There wasn't a bad rock in the bunch! Thanks for sharing all the spectacular finds with us! ❤
I am always happy to share. :)
Another lovely hunt. Ticks….boo. The audacity that they are trying to eat you. ‘Hate ‘em.
I love the odd jaspers…..jasper pudding stone! Thanks.
Thank you
:) Thank you for watching, Anne!
A nice hunt with great finds!
Thanks 👍
Your little limb cast was awesome! your little tumbling agate was super pretty. and the last agate was super.
Thank you so much! That limb cast was my favorite. :)
Pretty good day Katy, except for the ticks! I hate those things!
Yeah, me too. Fortunately, their season is short here.
Nice agate at 13:50!
Been watching you picking up amazing finds the last few weeks but haven't seen you cut any of the ones you call good cutters. I am so curious to the inside of some of these interesting finds. I hope you'll do a cutting video soon 💕
Love all the rocks you found . Like to see when you cut the stones they are beautiful. I can imagine making jewelery. Petrified wood is so very special. Happy hunting 😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much!
Cool finds Kady and another coral 😍
Thank you 🤗 I think maybe it's a brain coral.
Love the jasper!
Such nice looking rocks ❤❤
They were - but the main thing was just getting out in the sun!
Beautiful ! A relaxing day!
Yes it was! Thanks for joining me.
Hello there!!! Katy n Jim did!!!
Howdy!
Love the colors of those rocks!
Me too!
Nice finds. Hope to see more of what you are making🙏🙏
Looks pretty what ever it is ❤❤❤
:D
The one water line agate looked like it was a preform at one time. Looks tumbled by the river. I don’t know for sure. Looks worked to me. Maybe my imagination.
Tumbled by the river, for sure. Preform, maybe not. But beautiful, regardless! :D
@@KatyDidRocks agreed
Haha was Theo there before you turning rocks.
LOL, it's possible - but Theo usually stays a little farther west.
Katie not telling you what to do but years ago my son was in the Army and was in Missouri and he got bit and he got sick from the ticks so if you even feel sick please go to a quick care or th ER to get treated please and thank you.
You're not wrong! Ticks are no joke.
I've got a friend who is suffering from early onset dementia due to undiagnosed Lyme disease.
Such lovely finds! My family may have an upcoming trip to Eastern Montana. Are there any good access points for rockhounding that don't require kayak/boats/etc.
Check out your dog when you get home to make sure she doesn't have ticks.
:) She got tick meds at the beginning of the season. I think I'm more in danger. :D
@@KatyDidRocksThose flea/tick meds are full of neurotoxin. If you are into more of a holistic approach you and your dog can try some Cedarcide.
Nice hunt. Can you tell me if the Yellow Stone River south of Livingston has any good rock hunting locations? I'll be in the area in June.
Hello! June is probably the worst time to visit the Yellowstone, as the river rise goes from mid-May (IE, now), to sometime in July. There may be rocks to be found in the hills while the river is up - check BLM or state lands maps. Hope this helps. :)
6-20 thru 6-26 in the billings area!!! 6-24 my bday blue jewel sapphire mine!!! Are you guys available??? Sincerely TomcatJosh!!!
Hey, Josh! Thanks for the donation. :) I'm not sure what our schedule is in June, but a day at the sapphire mine sounds really fun. Talk to me on Discord, we'll see if we can work something out.
Nice agate at 1:48!
