#rockhounding #treasure #gemhunting - Zábava
I love rocks and crystals. I would love to see a whole video of you ladies polishing and cutting and prepping jewelry. That would be so interesting.
Dear Bee kind.
👍👌👏 Yes, that's exactly what a lot of us viewers already commented respectively asked for several times. I am and was simply not able to find a lot of their jewelry online (if any). And even their Etsy shop is mostly closed, sigh. This is maybe great because I hope that they sell their wonderful items/stuff instantly. On the other hand: I would really, really love to see at least the cut/polished agates/gemstones. Of course complete jewelry would even be better. After the second channel was introduced, I thought and hoped that we viewers would see more of the making processes.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
No where else I would rather be than spending these moments with you while you share your magical part of the world. Thank you and wow gotta say, the drone work and music, phenomenal!
Me either. 🤗
I have always collected rocks, crystals, fossils, etc..everywhere I go. I can no longer get out but am able to go with you two on your trips and have the time of my life!! These agates were absolutely gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us!
Loved this episode!!! I used to hunt for very similar agates on the shores of Lake Superior way up in Northern Minnesota when I was a kid!!! My grandfather took slices of our finds and covered an entire 3'x3' glass tabletop with them. He mounted a light underneath and it was INCREDIBLE to behold!!!! It was very heavy! 🥰🥰🥰
Must have been very beautiful to see. Do you know what became of it?
@@judymcpheron5955 Unfortunately I don't. My grandparents are gone, and I don't know if it was sold from their estate.
Two brave women, climbing up that loose rocks and all. All the rocks are gorgeous. Congratulations 🎉
All I can find about the green rocks in Scotland is it’s called “Scottish Jade”
Some of the most stunning stones looking forward to see what you make with them🤗
WOW! You all hit the Agate jackpot! WhooHoo!! I love watching you adventures each week. Love and Hugs from Florida USA🌴🌞🌴
Another gorgeous outing!! I cannot wait to see what you will make with your finds!! Thank you for taking me and us along!
Dear Sherrie Davidson
👍👌👏 Exactly! Same here. Please see my answer to viewer Bee Kind also. Thanks in advance.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
The highland cows 🥰 too cute and curious! Reminds me of when I used to go gem hunting as a child on the beach, found mostly pyrite, but in my childish wonder I believed it to be sacred treasure! Love the gem hunting videos, might need to go agate hunting myself 🏴
Oh, the heelund coos. Mooooo
I have to say you are 2 brave gals. The steepness of the landscape did come across on film. Oh my. Alex your drone skills and editing are looking so professional, it's like watching a movie. The Highland cattle were very inquisitive as to what you were up to. Great job, both of you. Love watching every week.
I live in Oregon USA and I am stunned at how similar the stones you are finding today and the ones we find here are. I bet that green one is also Jasper, we find it in lots of colors here.
I agree to green Jasper. Beauties!😊
could it possibly be Moss Agate?
All those agates make me want to head for the upper peninsula in my home state of Michigan! I spend summers there rockhounding (beautiful agates up there too)and this video makes me want to be hunting. Cheers to you for such a successful day of rockhounding!
I like going to your state for beach glass and fossil hunting. There's so much beach to hunt and enjoy.
I found a pudding stone on Lake Huron
Hello fellow Michigander. 👋 I'm in the middle of the lower peninsula on the wst side. My niece gows to school in the U.P. and had found some nice yooperlites. I'd be thrilled to find agates. Blessings.
Another Michigander here, I'm in the Leelanaw peninsula.
So.. looks like we have a small gathering of Michigan rockhounds here? I am just south of Lansing….Lots of pudding stones around… Thanks again Gail and Alex for a wonderful adventure!
The book, Rascal, about a boy raising a raccoon in Michigan in the 1920s has a chapter where the raccoon found agates by a lake, and the family polished them and gave them to Rascal at Christmas time!!
What an absolutely idyllic day! The drone footage is completely epic, those shaggy cows are adorable, and the agates are stunning! You two should be sponsored by the Ministry for Convincing Americans to Move to Northern England and Scotland, or whatever you call that there, because I'm sold😄
It’s The Last Kingdom,of Northumbria.
Right at the beginning of this video I instantly realised that Alex is looking like a gemstone herself (red hair/lips, pale/white skin, sparkling eyes). Additionally even the colours of her clothes and cap do match agates including the grey bedrock. Uuuuh, I like this kind of coincidence very much. 👍👌👏 Back to watch the video now.
The green rock you found looks very much like Jasper 👍💕💕💕
One of the most beautifully shot episodes I think you have ever done. Every aspect of it was perfect.
Have you seen the one where the search for golden crystals?! Magical!
@@VickieV1333 I watch them all. The idea of watching someone digging around in rubbish just shouldn't work, but I find these ladies totally likeable, a bit like that book you just can't put down.
I love everything about your videos the flowers and animals . the thing I love the most are you two,the voices,the way you get along yet compete but give each other the props when they have won. Your channel is my favorite.. You both spoil me for the others
What an absolutely gorgeous video! The scenery, the music, and your agates! Alex, you seem to know so much about rocks, did you study geology? Loved this video! ❤
Would love to see you make some beautiful cabochons out of some of the agates.
I love those kind of cows! They’re my favorite! Scottish Highland cattle aren’t they? Agate is gorgeous!❤❤❤
They're Highland coos. That's how the Scottish pronounce cows.
Woow that's great rockhounding!! and really appreciated watching your collection specimen. All rocks are really nice bright and lots of beautiful by natural texture. Thank you for sharing great work. Have a nice weekend!
WOW!!! What an absolutely magical adventure! Thank you for taking us along! 🥰
Hi from Canada ! I think the piece with all the bubbles of red ♥️ was the best for me ! Gail, you were brave to climb up that steep hill 🤯 ! All the best and we will meet again next week 💗!
You both are such a joy to watch. I get so excited along with you when you find a treasure. I also love the beautiful landscapes and nature that you film. What a wonderful relationship you have as mother and daughter, it's so sweet. Thank you for you lovely videos.🥰
What amazing little jewels nature creates. Stunning finds!
Looks like a geode, what great finds! You guys are great rock hunters!
What a marvelous time this was! I have a special love of carnelian agates, but any agate is a treasure. Great trip!
One of your best videos in my humble opinion, both content and music were relaxing I felt like I was walking with you every step of the way, well except the climbing 😂 well done both for making it up the shale not easy .
Really liked the Botryoidal agate (keep as a specimen) a rare find and the one with central red ellipses , the grey hollow one is a half of a Chalcedony Geode these are also hard to find wish I had been there!
Great video Ladies, love pretty rocks, crystals and gems! Thanks so much.
Beautiful agates!!! The colors are extraordinary! TY for taking us along!!!
Oh Please, please show us the lovely things you create with the beautiful agates. 😍🤩😍 You hit the jackpot not just rock hunting but with the most gorgeous views and arial shots. I was right there with you breathing the fresh air and treasure hunting. 🌈💐🤗
Oh I do love it when you go agate and crystal hunting! I love the Highland cows, thank you for including them!!!!❤
Green Rocks-That looks like Aventurine... which is in the jade family,. HOWEVER; in checking minerals found in Northumberland: I found Flourite in County Durham, just south of there. Also, flourite can be as purple as amethyst. Others have said malachite, but I don't think so- that is found near copper, and your's are too pale of green.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING US ALONG. YOU TAKE ME PLACES, I WILL NEVER GET TO SEE.
Serpentine.. green rock.. lovely finds.. so nice to be in nature on adventures.. thank you for your shared times
I love rock hunting! You really had some gorgeous finds today Gail and Alex. Take care ladies.
WOW As a rock hound I am sooooo jealous! Lol so many beautiful agates!! And the pink ones are my absolute favorite! Amazing finds created by Mother Nature ❤️❤️
I have to have my coffee or tea before I can watch you two. Both of you are too chipper and positive for my grumpy self until then. Thanks for sharing the happiness.
Amazing and absolutely beautiful finds. Thank you, Gail and Alex, for taking us on this wonderful journey.
Wow! What a truly magnificent landscape to explore and find these amazing bits of rocky treasure. I’m so happy the weather has begun to improve. I can’t wait to see what you’ll make from these magnificent finds ❤
Thank you for an exceptional video! I love your rock hunt videos and this one was amazing! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤
Hello 👋 from New York USA Thank you for Bringing me Along with you I can't wait to see What you Find Next 😊
All the pieces you found are quite beautiful. I can’t wait to see what they look like after you have cut the stones and polish them and set the stones. You live in a beautiful part of the world. Thank you for taking us along Kathy.
On no I subscribed before I left … I can’t believe I did it the wrong way round lol lol great video bloopers are just the best !!! Lol x
Your treasures live in beautiful places. Thanks so much for the drone footage.
Very nice aerial shots and music accompiment! I appreciate them both, and you two as well. Thank you for taking us along on your hunt for beautiful agates.
Hi Gail and Alex, what an extremely beautiful view, it's like being in a beautiful dream. "Stunning"😊 And the gorgeous Agate of bands of pink and green and all different colours &😊Wild flowers my favourite. Those stones are stunning 😊 I am so amazed at your collections Ladies every piece is exceptionally beautiful 🎉🎉😊
Awesome finds!! That geode, all those multi multi banded! The juicy orange carnilians! WOW! That one with the 'lips', the top looked like a glowing silver band. I liked that one with the rounded rock on the bottom and crystal on top, like an orange castle on a mountain! Thanx for the adventure! 🥰
Such stunning treasures today! So happy to witness your beautiful discoveries!
Those agates were amazing! How can something that looks like an ordinary stone turn out to be so beautiful upon closer inspection? Thank you for sharing your adventures with us and here's to many more to come 😁
What a fabulous haul, girls! Well done. Another great video. Thank you .😊
Looking forward to seeing what you do with those beautiful stones. Great video as always G&A. 🙂
Such beautiful cows and very pretty pink agates.
An absolutely awesome day!
Malachite or Zentron or Pachamama or Fuchsite. Or just regular green jasper. But all your finds are awesome!
In general, likely Cupric Oxide and pick a mineral to mix 🤗🤗. I love trying to figure out what rocks are.
I was watching the outro and was like what did she say? I was going “rewind” and listen again but you saved me from searching. 😊Your adventures always look fun. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Beautiful Agates Ladies , Wow great day out . I liked the warthog too . Great one Gail and Alex . Scenery was excellent !!! 🧡💛❤🤍
You two women add joy to my week; thank you! By the way, fun that Alex's laid shirt has the same colours as her agates. Except the red and black one; I really like that one.
Beautiful agates! Love the pink bands! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Loved the drone footage and the COWS!! So cute!! Your videos are excellent.
Omg I'm just so jealous! All I can say was what a fabulous fantastic day there. Whew!!!
I love this so much! So much beautiful!
Wow!!! Beautiful day out. Can't wait to see where they end up!
I guess its time to buy a rock tumbler, those are some nice finds! Congratulations!
In the process of watching this episode right now. WoW the landscapes are fantastic. I love areas like this. I didn’t see one piece of litter. Best get back to the vid I’m enjoying it. Thanks Gail and Alex
Hi ladies. I think the green rocks may be Green Jasper. Great vid as usual x
Beautiful finds! You have to be the two prettiest goats I have ever seen! I've always had a fascination for interesting rocks. Rocks, shells and sea glass all over my house!
Absolutely beautiful landscape, rocks, cows!
Thanks for another awesome adventure.
The sun blessed you at just the right angle and makes them glow. Glad you stayed late. ✌️😊
The cows in the background, having a wonderful time, nature live, cool. What a wonderful place, so pretty and no one there, wild places still exist. Brilliant gems and super people,
