The petrified wood at 8:00 is full of tube agate! It's so cool! You can see the circles of agate tubes running through it! At 9:35 is a SOFTBALL sized GREEN MOSS AGATE! And who doesn't love GREEN jasper- so many great rocks. The river gravel is looking clean and spectacular. This rock hunt was a pre-season SUCCESS!
Oh my goodness, double the dog cuteness on this video. Love the pet wood at 17:55. My wife and I chuckled when you first said "I'm not taking this one home" and then flipped it over and changed your mind. Please post a video of you slabbing that one. I bet it will be stunning.
I can't wait to slab that one. Yes... I might have to make a slabbing video this weekend. It's my "backpack bargaining." I'm literally arguing with myself outloud as to which rocks I can take and which ones I have absolutely no choice but to leave since I can't carry 100 pounds on my back several miles, lol! I really hated leaving that jasper. It was such a great quality and would have been stunning cut. It's all covered in snow right now. I was thinking about it earlier. I had thought about GPS'ing the location so I could go back for it...then I yelled at myself for thinking that. Ohhhhh the admissions of a rockhound addict.
That must have been the most colorful Petrified wood I have ever seen someone picked up. Nice to see you here, nice to see all the georgeous rocks!!! SIGH, I want I want, lucky you!!
Mud and flood time coming. What a selection of rocks. All I've got seems to be basalt and granite.. lol. Chopper and Lola, a mischievous pair...Be well, stay safe...you rock.
That's one of the nicest pieces of petrified wood! I want to cut it and polish it! I am always having a debate with myself as to which rocks I can take and which ones I have to leave. That one was just stunning when I turned it over. There was no way I could leave it!
Loved the doggies! It looked like a beautiful day and of course you found the best rocks and a few snacks for Drogon. It's always good to see your smiling face. Do you have small backpacks for the dogs or would that hinder their protection modes? A fun trip! Be happy, safe and stay healthy. Cut, cut, cut! I can't wait! 😷⚒
Nice finds miss Kimberly. I love your enthusiasm and expressions of excitement. It makes me laugh because I’m the same way. We’re like kids in a candy store. An equal expression, Rock on young lady. RMR Dedicated. Next video please!
Very beautiful rocks. Look forward to Future video of cutting them. Especially the Petrified rocks the colors are incredible on the outside and they can only get better on the inside.👍
Nice to see you back at it and thanks for taking us along. I found it funny how you kept telling the dogs to make good choices, for the most part, successfully.
MRM of the Space Force.. Thanks so much some beauties love that bluey banded . That big pet wood at the end i thought that was dark bark for a 2nd it had so much going on.
Isn't it great getting out in the sun hunting on a sunny, spring day?! That is a clean bunch of rocks compared to what we usually find on the Yellowstone. Those are some great pieces of agatized wood and that banded piece of agate is just amazing! I share your excitement to be out again! 😊
Kim, remember that plastic sled thing I dragged around when we hunted in Deming? You need one of those! It slides over rocks like ice skates, and lets you carry LOTS of weight, LOL!
Wow! You have endless patience to want to train another Irish setter after just finishing with one of them. I have seen first hand how head strong and active Irish setters are and they are tough. You are a brave ! I'm glad in Montana, they have ample room to roam. Those were some amazing finds. The ammonites were killing me! I want to find my some ammonites. And the way you say I'm not going to take this, and then say I have to take this, is amazing. Nobody is blaming you. Take the rock. You have a hungry slab saw to feed! 😂 Maybe you should invest in a little cart drawn by your mule team lols and chopper. That way they get exercise, chopper gets to set good examples for Lola, and you don't have to carry heavy rocks back! Lol. Just a thought. Great hunt. I love that last pet wood. It was work taking home.
A lovely walk for your dogs they certainly enjoyed it. I do question your faith in letting them make good life choices ( we have an eighteen month old black lab and his life choices can be questionable lol) though nobody can question your rock choices there are some stunners in there. Really enjoyed your video and can't wait to see what is inside them. 😄😃😄
Haha, I agree. The pup Lola especially didn't learn to stop getting into the pricker bushes. Chopper sat on the ground back at the house and pulled the prickery things out of her fur for a good half an hour.
Totally digging the iridescence on those ammonites. Theo was probably jumping up and down when he saw those. :D And, yes, you had to take that last piece of wood. No way you can leave something that cool behind. Bummer about the yellow jasper that lost its spot in the bad though.
That’s crazy how clean those rocks are after the snow has melted. Far better than when I was down last…. That silty muddy mess…. Drogon will be happy for some fresh food for sure! Thanks for taking us along Kim
Really beautiful finds💕.i love to watch all the rocks u can find there(with bit of envy😁).here( northend Finland)is no such things.still heavy winter here.-25c and so much snow😑
I spent a week in Yellowstone Park back in 2006. We spent a night at Chico's Hot Springs. Unfortunately never got to explore Montana. So much to see. Been a Rockhound on and off since 06, and I miss the Western United States for the geology and it's sheer beauty. I've been in the Philippines for 3 1/2 yrs now. Not much outside of Jadeite, Jasper, Serpentine, Gold, and a little Opal. Gold is off limits to prospecting. Only licensed Mine Operators are allowed. I had a serious leg infection 6 months ago and still haven't been alble to walk, but soon I hope. Anyways love the videos and wonderful outdoors. Happy Hunting! 👍
@@MontanaRockMom they don't do housecall therapy. I do upper body stretching and exercising for top and leg. Still have some tissue not healed on my calf. When I stand my calf feels like it will explode. My guess is by the second week of April. I'm getting stir crazy. 😉
Yaaa!! Made my day too see this video!! You found some amazing pieces & big ones too! Heading to Montana second full week of June. I am planning on rockhounding for 2 days before heading on to Glacier. Was wondering where to go for some really good specimens & any pointers you would be willing to spare. Thank you for sharing this video!!
So many unusual rocks.. Hope they cut or tumble well.. Love it.. ~ Agree, Oooo on the 15:56 mark stone Such Variety.. ~ did you really leave that last Yellow Stone? OMG ~ You need a Travois with a harness for Chopper to drag back half your finds... LOL.
Wow. The green jasper with the yellow was amazing and the small one with the green lines that were popping out was cool. But the petrified wood is amazing. So incredible Kim. Thanks for taking the time and making the video and your puppies are so cute. 😀
Beautiful!!! Chopper and Lola are such good rockers. Maybe on such good days as this you could cache some of the stones somewhere to retrieve later. Or some type of wagon that could roll across the smooth stones. Chopper and Lola could help pull. 😊❤🦮🦮🌄 You Rock!!!
i started watching your channel after the big floods last year, and i was thinking it would be a good time to go walk around the Gallatin or Jellystone this week, but after waking up this morning with 22 inches of new snow in Belgrade, I'm guessing i may need to wait a few more days. again.
A lot of people rock my world. I'm happy to say you are one of them! (P.s. have you ever considered getting the 'pups' to help with a harness and pouch to carry prizes home?)
Thank you Raun! That is a good idea. However, I haven't before because I usually can't keep Chopper out of the water. He loves swimming and diving under to pick stuff up from several feet under! I don't want to weigh him down...my crazy dog
Don't you have a website where you Sell some of your Findings....!?? I love to watch your videos....😻💥 You have impeccable taste....👍 But it break my heart, when you choose to leave Perfect Pet. Wood behind....😞✌️ The Danish Viking, living in GHANA...!!
River pebbles seem so hard to identify. Petrified wood, most times, looks like wood, agates stand out due to their color or sheen, but river rocks have been pitted and dulled to the point that I would have a hard time finding them......good eye!!!
@@MontanaRockMom I was going to ask what you did with the rocks you find......thank you, you tube algorithyms(?). A video of you came up with you cutting some of your stones. Question answered!🙃
Such a great day! You really did so well on every piece you picked up! I really love the first piece of wood and that sweet red and yellow orbicular jasper. Really nice big agates too! The doggos were starting to worry me playing in that fast cold river! 🥶 is that Choppers sister??!!??
Yes, Chopper's sister Lola. She may learn some of nature's lessons the hard way. That orbicular jasper was awesome for sure! I knew you were going to love that wood.
@@MontanaRockMomHe mutters cunningly to himself - "If i threatened too unsubsribe she would surely send them then huh? Mwa Ha Ha" 🤣🤣 (Only kiddin) 😘🤗🤗 So is that a yes? You gotta say yes Mom, ye just gots too. Am pleadin wif ya. 😭 I'll tell my own Mom if you don't. Lol Seriously, i'd buy some off of you!! Shall i ask again in a little while?
That would be awsome. Is there a way to connect with you outside of youtube? Loved your last video. You are one lucky lady being situated where you can access finds like you do. I am spewing 🤢 with envy every time i watch your rock hunts. But hat off to ya, you find some real belters. 😊
Did you see Theo too? We all had the same idea! Such great rocks right!!! It's going to be a great season. You should have said hello! My pups are super friendly- they just like to bark until you let them say hello. Are yours?
@@MontanaRockMom no just you and the pups . We love both of your channels hope to meet some day ! Thursday we went to Terry up the creek on the north side of the river If you don't know about that place it's crazy so much wood and agate it's insane feel like it's going to be a special year !
How do you pick what to take home? I want it all! Could a plastic sled be used to haul? Would you be able to drag it over the terrain? Shortening it's life would be for a good cause!

You need to get the dogs back pack of there own. No rock left behind . I enjoy your rock trips. Rock On
No rock left behind!
Wow awesome day! Can't wait to see them cut and polished!
Awesome awesome awesome!!! Spring is here and you're starting out with great results!
Did you see all that ridiculous agatized wood??!!!
@@MontanaRockMom , yes I did.
My favorite material on the Yellowstone..
It's crazy to me how much the petrified wood looks like real live wood. Like you have to pick it up to see....🪵

Season off to great start. Looking forward to seeing a batch of the littles tumbled
Raining mix here, thankfully I can watch you, Theo, Currently Rockhounding and still catching up on Michigan Rocks.
Thank you for watching!
It's probably just me....i keep seeing faces in your finds.... Good Lord, you find some of the bests of the bests!
It looks like Drogon won't be going hungry anytime soon! I look forward to watching you feed these beauties to him
It's amazing how fast he can chew through a pile. What a beast.
That must have been the most colorful Petrified wood I have ever seen someone picked up. Nice to see you here, nice to see all the georgeous rocks!!! SIGH, I want I want, lucky you!!
Mud and flood time coming. What a selection of rocks. All I've got seems to be basalt and granite.. lol.

Great video. Rock hounding is fun. Start slabbing. You never know until you start cutting these into 7mm slabs!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: You need a pack mule for those Yellowstone River finds! Gee-whiz!
Love that wood @8:10.that is a nice unikite. Ooo waterline agate
I love watching you rockhounding and the absolutely beautiful finds
You are so fortunate to live in Montana !!!!
You made me laugh when you said you weren’t taking the one wood till you flipped it over and seen how gorgeous it was. You find such beautiful rocks.
That's one of the nicest pieces of petrified wood! I want to cut it and polish it! I am always having a debate with myself as to which rocks I can take and which ones I have to leave. That one was just stunning when I turned it over. There was no way I could leave it!

Do you have small backpacks for the dogs or would that hinder their protection modes? A fun trip! Be happy, safe and stay healthy. Cut, cut, cut! I can't wait! 😷⚒
Silly Chopper likes to dive several feet in the water and pick rocks up!
@@MontanaRockMom if there good rocks, not so silly. Stay warm chopper.
Some beauties on that trip, shame you had to leave the big yellow jasper. Cheers MRM 😁
Nice finds miss Kimberly. I love your enthusiasm and expressions of excitement. It makes me laugh because I’m the same way. We’re like kids in a candy store. An equal expression, Rock on young lady. RMR Dedicated. Next video please!
You always fined the best rocks
Very beautiful rocks. Look forward to Future video of cutting them. Especially the Petrified rocks the colors are incredible on the outside and they can only get better on the inside.👍
I can't wait to cut those!
They are going to be beautiful
I really like that you pick up more than just agates.
Nice to see you back at it and thanks for taking us along. I found it funny how you kept telling the dogs to make good choices, for the most part, successfully.
MRM of the Space Force.. Thanks so much some beauties love that bluey banded . That big pet wood at the end i thought that was dark bark for a 2nd it had so much going on.
So happy to see a new video from you!!

This is where a Gorilla cart comes in handy! You can pack out the big heavy stuff!
That piece is beautiful
😂 no need walking in that far if you can bring a nice one out! Lol
Enjoyed the video as always! Thanks for sharing!
I tell my dogs,”No badness!” The neighbors probably think I’m nuts.
Great hunt….beautiful finds. I’d love to see cuts of the dark ones. Thanks.
What a spectacular day !!!! You sure did find some beautiful specimens. Drogon is going to eat well.
MRM!!! Fantastic finds!!

We just got a few inches, I beat it!

Didn't know you had a Lola 💗
She's the "family" pup. Chopper is my boy...1 million percent!

Right ! Cleanest I've seen them in a long, long time.
Wonderful video. Great finds! Thanks. :-)
I love your puppers sooo much! Lost my golden a couple of years ago-Bear-haven’t found the right senior doggo to adopt yet.

Plz cut that agate sphere. I’m sooooo curious 😂
You need a wagon. The kind used on farms, has bigger wheels.
Yes!
I love your videos. I was wondering what kind of setup you have for spraying the rocks off? I like that it's pressurized. Is it like a backpack?
