These Fortification Agates are CRAZY! On the Hunt for Black Hills Teepee Canyon Agates!

- In this one, we continue our South Dakota adventure by heading over to one of my favorite sites on the planet: Teepee Canyon! These agates are widely renowned for their wonderful red, pink, white, and orange fortification banding that greatly resemble Fairburn agates! We got into some truly phenomenal specimens, including one monster agate that was definitely unexpected, but we also got into some very interesting chert and even some awesome brachiopods! Make sure to be on the lookout for another video coming very soon in which we will be cutting a BUNCH of our finds from the trip, including many Teepee Canyon agates and hopefully our two monsters if @MontanaRockMom is up for hanging out with us! We have one more hunt to go in this trip so look forward to that as well, and I hope you enjoyed!

Mom, you just want a chance to hold them in your own hands.. LOL
@@leslyeschoenhuth1107 Absolutely!
Love cutting TeePee agates they always put on a show....
Great video.... You scored some beauties!!
Hey your wearing a new cap... Hopefully you kept the old one too ..👌
Teepee Canyon agate is killer!!!! You found so much cool material. I definitely know there's a new place going on my rockhounding bucket list. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Holy moly! Those agates are crazy beautiful! And there's fossils there too? Couldn't ask for more! Great way to celebrate your birthday! Thanks for sharing! (Alexis, you have a beautiful voice! Theo, you need to let Alexis narrate sometimes.)
Right!?😄 its a wonderful site for sure! And i have tried to get her to do a video but she seems uninterested😅🤣 im sure we'll make it happen one day though!😁
@@TheoKellison Alexis! Alexis! Alexis!
That Jasper at 8 mark is "Jasperlicious" as Katy says.. Thanks for taking us along. It is long past the days that I could have joined you to look over your shoulder.. Keep sharing the Fun.. We love rocks almost as much as you do...
Those are so gorgeous! Loved the one at 15:02 , so pretty! I had never heard of Teepee Canyon Agates, learned something new today! Can’t wait to see them slabbed! Thanks Theo, and Alexis too!😄👍👍
They sure are amazing!😁 cant wait to show you all how amazing they are on the inside!😄
Oh my gosh Theo !! Two crazy things. One is those Teepee Canyon treasures you found. Two is:. As I was watching your video, the package got delivered from your Etsy site ! My lucky day as well as yours ! THANK YOU !!
What wonderful agates. I also liked your musical rendition with the Queen Conch. We are glad your having fun and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Can't wait until you go back. Don't get blown away. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 👽⚒
I want to see the prairie marbles when they emerge from the tumbler!
I eill make sure to show them in a video!
Wow! those colours are just stunning! Almost hard to believe nature did that all alone!
Yas! Theo K infomercial, do it!!
What an amazing location to spend your birthday. I guess you could call that a happy birthday to the extreme! 🎂
Oh wow! What a cool place to hunt.
Your pack must have been so heavy.
My favourite was the little one with all the crystal and botryoidals.
I agree, leave it as it is.
Great video. 😊😊😊😊 Hi from a New Zealand rock hound
No wonder you love teepee canyon agates, they are amazingly beautiful! Great video, thanks for sharing Theo!
Awesome finds!! Such a strange formation for agate too, I'll have to keep an eye open and look at the cherts a little closer from now on😃
Absolutely!😄 they are very strange agates! Ive never encountered another agate quite like them now that i think about it🤔 those vivid fortifications inside the chert are just so peculiar! Thanks so much for watching!😄
My favorite was definitely the first one from the slide show it just had everything goin on. lol
DOOOOOD!! there’s no way i can pick a favourite. can i pick 20 favourites? can’t wait to see those slabs!
I really like the one at 19:50 AWESOME COLORS!! I can’t wait to see you cut some of these !!
Keep rockin!!👍😎
Couldnt believe the red on that thing😁 thanks so much for watching!
@@TheoKellison I have a slab I bought in the 80s , after watching your video, I am sure it’s a teepee canyon agate . Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and sharing them with the rest of us!!😎
I think I found an agate! Haha, on the North Saskatchewan River. Thanks for the lessons!
I like the chert nodules! We have some not as round but lots of chert and jasper in small marbles around one of the properties.
18:13 almost look dyed wow it’s so perfect those colors just pop!!
That was our find of the trip for sure!😄 i absolutely can not wait to see the inside of that beauty!😁 thanks so much for watching!
those rocks are class, hot damn.
These are gorgeous
What a fun place
Thanks for sharing. I'm excited to see them cut.
Happy Birthday
Wow amazing❤❤❤
All I can say is wow!! Gorgeous stuff Theo!!
Beutiful rocks!!!
Happy Birthday 🎂😊💙, awesome finds as always 😊💙, thank you for sharing 😊
Wowwww the end when you show them all cleaned up 🤤🤤🤤🤤 I’m drooling lol
About the time I think your rocks can't get any more astonishing, you come up w these from Dakota!!
they ever cool Theo, cut an polished, be all kinds a sweet, enjoyed the adventure. (belated Happy Birthday again) 👊🎂🍻
First Theo, Happy Birthday!!! Those agates are so beautiful. I love the bright oranges. Thank you for the adventure!
Awesome finds, can't wait to see the slabs! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful stuff! Mother Earth is amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing the cuts. Thanks
They're so pretty! I see what you're talking about with the need for heavy hammering! Oh man, killer jaspers and fossils there too?! Does it get any better? That's really some jaw droppin stuff, the fortifications are so fancy. All of your favorites were dazzlers, It's going to be beyond amazing when you can free some of that material. Will you be slabbin and cabbin or making specimens? All of the above? Thanks for sharing all of that, I feel satisfied in my eye candy demands, may just back it up and watch again 😂. Cheers!
Oh yeah the sledge is a must😂 that limestone just scoffs at a normal rock hammer🤣 and it DOES get a little better cuz there is beautiful dogtooth calcite at this site as well! And to answer your question yes to all of the above😂 we will be making some slabs, some are gonna be turned into cabs, and some are bookmarked for specimens😁 just absolutely love thay material! They really never get old!
Happy Birthday Theo! Rock on!
Thank you!😄
Just saw Wild Kyle's video of the box your sent him in April. What a glorious variation. The shark teeth were so beautiful. Lucky Kyle. I have seen the video of your Florida trip. Thumbs up.
Wonderful and happiest of birthdays to you!
You guys out there are so damn lucky to have such gorgeous agates and other colorful rocks! I’m so envious! The colors and fortifications ARE insane! We do have an interesting and colorful variety of quartz here in VA. Waiting for it to cool down before going out again. Getting my two young grandsons into rockhounding and then will tumble their finds.😃👍
Hey BIRTHDAY boy, Thanks for sharing your fun. Enjoyed seeing the post muratic acid treatment rocks. Beauty revealed.
Beautiful! I can't think of a better way to spend a birthday! Love the colors of those!
Haha .. I’m sorry but I just luv to see your face get so sincerely, excited .. I’m might be a lil older but it watching yours an a few more u-tube rockhounding shows, & that is why I fell in luv with it ,, thanks for making it so interesting,, I mean that
What a fun trip! I'm already a subscriber :) Can't wait to see these wonders when you get them tumbled!! HB to YOU!
What a fun video! But Theo, you are never at a loss for words! 😅
That Tp canyon agate sure is very pretty
Simply love your videos. ❤
2 minutes in and I'm blown away! 😵
🤓WOW, JUST...WOW!!!
Can't believe the bands in some of those. This is why agate is my favourite stone. Get a handful of diamonds or emeralds and they all look pretty much the same. But every agate is completely unique.
I am in Denver Colorado. Somebody take me Rock Hounding!
Those agates are so amazing. It's so hard to pick a favorite but I like smaller stones for some reason. There were a few I just loved. I love watching your videos so much. Just makes me so excited too. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see what's next.
They are some phenomenal agates for sure😄 and totally agree! Some of those smaller ones are just perfect cabbers😁 can not wait to show you all how they look cut open! And thank you so much!it truly means a lot!😄
Those agates are really beautiful!
Awesome video and a very Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday 🎂🎈🥳‼️ Awesome finds! Absolutely beautiful 😍
Excellent Birthday Adventure 💜
Amazing Rocks!!
We were there back in June, but you guys found a heck of a lot more than we did! The "prairie marbles" were some of our favorite finds when we were there, I like the name you gave them.
Teepee canyon is one of my favorite places!😁 was it your first time going? its definitely one of those places that gets exponentially easier to hunt every time you go back to it! The first time we went there we didnt really find much of anything other than the prairie marbles, which hey im not complaining😄 those things are so cool with a tumble! Thanks so much for watching!
@@TheoKellison Yes, it was my first time at there, I think it'll definitely be easier next time we make it out there. Between your video and the advice I got in the comments on mine, I think we'll be a lot better prepared for what to expect.
After watching lots and lots of videos I decided I would like to Tumble in a vibrating tumbler! Michigan Rocks has a video on how. It give a polish but leaves the shape.
That will be my first purchase 😊 Beautiful finds Theo❣️
So very amazing!
I'm not sure how you were able to find such cool things without Floyd's help, but you got some great stuff! Always good to see Alexis along. Now I have to figure out how I can coerce friends to go to South Dakota for my next birthday.
Incredible!
Theo and Alexis and Montana rock mom - You guys are the inspiration for my Husband and I going to Montana in july 2023! I love your videos and all the info you share. Billings is where we're going for our 31st anniversary trip. We're coming from near Houston, TX so we'll be hitting rockhounding spots along the way.
Can't wait to see the cut ones you get.
A little late to the party but, this is one of my favorite videos I have seen of yours. That stuff is bind blowing beautiful. Thanks
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR TOMORROW 🎂🎉🎁🎂🎉🥂💕💕💕💕
All I can say is “oh my,”!
Happy birthday! Awesome finds👍👍
Dude those are cool! I’m hopefully hunting for Union road agates Monday in St. Louis. I think they’re very similar agates in chert. I’ve seen some that are absolutely beautiful!!!
Oh awesome!😄 i hope you got into some good ones😁
WOW Just Beautiful 😍
Been down to the bottom of the canyon! A hard walk back up!
Awesome
Very nice.
Happy birthday!
Thank you!😄
Man I keep having an issue.. I have all notifications on but CZcams still doesn’t show me your content 🤔I had to manually look you up today… I’m behind a few vids for sure… HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Great finds!
Ya know ive heard that from several people and have even run into it before myself🤔 not sure why youtube does that but its almost like you have to train the algorithm a bit by watching a bunch of a channel's vids to tell it you are interested which is strange🤷 even with the bell on i still miss uploads from some channels sometimes
@@TheoKellison I found it only became an issue once I subscribed to many channels. I used to hear people complain about it but only recently has it become a problem for me. Even if I scroll on my subscriptions page only 1/3 of your recent videos are there when I have bell set to all. 🤷♂️ CZcams Starts to pick and choose when you sub to a lot of channels I think.
@@TheoKellison but yes I agree it gets fixed when I watch a few of that creators videos. Then the next ones show up but it’s like that bumps someone else off
Theo finds the best stuff always!
Alexis has a good eye !!
Happy birthday Theo hope you have an amazing day dude. 💚✌️💎
Happy Belated Birthday Theo
So much wonderful finds I hope to see them cut soon and the prairie marbles polished!!!! You both found such great stuff. Happy birthday!!!
Add on... Just got my items in the mail from your Etsy store and they are amazing!!! Thank you so much lol I'm already thinking of what to go buy now.
Lived in the Black Hills but have yet to hike in Teepee Canyon. Gotta get out someday. Need to get together on one of your trips down here. I know a place with a field of baculites. It looks as if the squids were in a school and just all died at the same time.
Dude that one you have at the 6 min mark looks like a limb cast!
Hope you had a happy birthday!
Fortification, polygonal banding.
Gotta try some rock hunting in different places.
Hey! What’s a little wind when you are hounding!
I would like to see you carving
Be careful when picking up those marbles! They are pretty much the size, shape and color of old big horned sheep poop 😂
Is it just me or is ur sound a bit crackled on and off in spots?? Anyways wow so much banding on the rocks they all look amazing i would love to see what the marbles look after tumberling ❤️👍😊
WOW Could it have been better? I don't think so.
I feel like a lot of those use to be tree branches.
that one looked like a bone
A lot of those pieces that you picked up from the ground are going to have fractures throughout the rock. If you tumble them you’ll see. They use sledgehammers to bust open the nodules and leave the smaller pieces behind. The people who mine them don’t take the time to hammer drill them out. I’ve watched them mine them in the past. And it saddens me see that being done. What a waste. Good video
are you at the main quarry pit?
How long do you leave them in the acid?
Just so you know it's 100lbs of rock a year your allowed to get from there
Is Teepee Canyon public land?
Yes it is😄 not all of it but enough to do some amazing hunting!
🤔, well, look like bones,....
Happy Birthday!
