Do you have a winter INDOORS setup using the wet grinder / polisher? Love to see ANYONES setup. Way too cold here in Ohio to do this outside.

No I do not have a indoors set up, its way to cold here also to do it outside

You have to go up the Reecer Creek roas until it turns into National Forest road. Stay on the road until you get to NFS 3507 and stay on it until you come to Crystal mountain. The area around the mountain has abundant agates and geodes

You should for sure write a book, or at least maybe a pamphlet or quarterly "zine" because your insights and knowledge are incredibly helpful and would be useful in the field when there is no cell service to get on youtube. Like someone else said, I'm less interested in knowing your secret spots, butthe knowledge in how to find my own spots is what I'm after. After all for me it'sall about the hunt. They're the best part of the hobby for me.

@ you’re more on the western side of the state though right? I thought it would be a lot more dry than it is here in the eastern side, but I have to say I have not seen so many people celebrating Halloween like this in decades! Was fun to watch and then we got rain on and off past couple days. Rockhound meeting coming up so I should actually make it this time 😂 Really enjoy your videos! Was wondering since you are closer than I do you ever go into the Olympic coastal area for fossils?

@OldGuyAdventures Ай бұрын

@@wileyann9449 Once in awhile I go up to Murdock beach and search for fossils, I normally do that in the winter when snow in the mountains keeps me out. I used to live in Ellensburg and it as fairly dry there, but here in the Olympics we get lots of rain. I grew up here so the rain doesn't bother me.

Chris! help me remember your favorite spots on Red Top, please. I went out with you a couple years ago maybe when it was your last 3 day feild trip here in Kittitas county, Where did we park and head out onto that slope that had veins and surface stuff. I thought I knew it and unfortunately let my club down yesterday because I could get us there. BTW, 37 degrees and a little bit of snow but not enough to accumilate. I miss your local posts and hope that your life on the penisula is awesome (it looks like it on your videos). Best Regards, Laurel ellensburg.

@OldGuyAdventures Ай бұрын

We parked just below the red top parking area where there is a Y in the road, then walk back up the road towards Red Top about 100 feet. Then head straight down the hill about 300 feet and there still should be some float material under those small trees at the edge of where we were digging. You want to be to the far left of the meadows, right on the edge of the steep hillside that drops right below the veins

Thanks for the tips! I’ve had a pick on my wish list for awhile now ❤ Most of the rockhounding I’ve done has been up and down the entire coast of Oregon and inland in some of the rivers. So it’s a big change of scenery in eastern Washington. There’s another get together at the local club this weekend, will see what I can find out. I felt pretty safe in the past going solo but I’m thinking it may be safer with at least one other person. 😊

@OldGuyAdventures 2 ай бұрын

I rockhounded for many years by myself, I enjoy it. When your rockhounding by yourself though you sometime miss good rocks because you are spending more time making sure you stay safe. When others are with you it will be more relaxing and we all do better when relaxe. Hope you get your pick.
