Have you ever been to the Lewis River, or the Kalama river? We haven’t been to those yet, even though we are close. We usually go to bigger locations, like central Oregon and Washington. After seeing your videos, we need to start searching our local rivers more. We do have some carnelian we found on a river by the Salmon River. But we haven’t been back there for a while.

They're on the bucket list but I haven't been yet, I do know the Kalama river is a good spot to check out. I've tried going to the Salmon river but park rancher said better not to as most if not all is on Weyerhaeuser property and they will prosecute rockhounders (I even called and asked for permission). You'll do well in Southern Washington rivers, good luck and have fun!

@DutchmansAgates 16 күн бұрын
I refer to it as my favorite spot, one spot I keep to myself. However, if you're wanting to get into rockhounding look for beaches where the tide gets to gravel/where new gravel is deposited because it can change from day to day. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

When I hunt I am super focused on agates only. Forget the Jasper jasper jasper and the “ sugar agates”. Brain wanders and the eye may not catch the transparency. I’ve been hunting for 55 years and I’m guessing I have 20,000 agates. Trained eye. I would never bother with video , it’s my beach time alone.

I hear that, I'm getting pickier and pickier as I do the hobby as well. Jasper especially has to be pretty awesome to take it home anymore. It's not too much effort for me to make the video's, and once I started I couldn't stop. Thank you for commenting, and keep enjoying the hobby!

I love & live for beach walks like you're on & I definitely end up filling my pockets with treasures like you do but I have to ask; what do you end up doing with most of your finds? Can you make money collecting rocks?
@DutchmansAgates Ай бұрын
Generally I clean them, soak them in citric acid, or iron out if needed, put some mineral oil on them and put them in glass jars to look at. I'd like to turn some into necklaces possibly later. Individual specimens have to be pretty spectacular to make money on. Making things out of it might some side cash, not enough to live on I think. Keep enjoying the hobby! I love how it takes me to beautiful places.

Over my lifetime, I must have walked over thousands of agates. Growing up in Texas, I always saw quartz "rocks," so I guess I was used to them, and felt that agates must have been the same thing. Zero interest, lol. I still don't quite understand the fascination with hunting them (I have lived in opal, star garnet, and thunder egg country for 23 years now). What draws you to looking for agates, and what do you end up doing with them? Some people just collect for fun, some sell, some polish or tumble or cut them. What's your deal?
@DutchmansAgates 2 ай бұрын
Thank you for your comment. I like how most of them are different in some way, either in color, banding pattern or type (nodule, vein, even geode). I don't do much with them yet, clean them up, put a coating of mineral oil on them and sort them by size to look at. When I started it gave me a reason to get out, go to a beautiful beach, go to a peaceful creek/river. Then I made my first video, since I already made gardening videos, and turned out people liked to watch them, so here we are today. Thank you for watching!

When I was a kid in the '60s, my family, on yearly vacations, combed the Oregon beaches from Astoria to Bookings. We would bring home multiple 5-gallon buckets of agate. On one vacation, I also scored five glass floats, one of which was 8". I still have them today.

Great finds! Love them all🥰 What do you do with the rocks you take home? 6:33 It's chalcedony for sure, and, if I'm right, it's probably a petrified form of sea life. We do have lots of this kind of stones in many colours, in all North West European countries. We call them vuursteen in Dutch (and in Afrikaans as well). In German, it's feuerstein, in Icelandic tunnisteinn, and in all other Germanic languages, it's flint. Only in rockhounding videos in Amarican English, I think there are multiple different names for this kind of rock, and I think it's based on the colour, which term is the correct one, but it still confuses me sometimes😅 Ik kijk uit naar je volgende video 😊
@DutchmansAgates 2 ай бұрын
Thank you very much for your great comment! Currently I clean them, give them an acid bath if needed, sort them by size and have them in glass jars. In the future I'd like to polish them and turn some into a necklace or something. I remember finding vuursteen (flint) in Belgium, haha. We'd visit WW1 battlefields and it'd be on edges of farm fields, etc. I didn't know what it was called in other languages so that's cool to know! I don't find flint here at all. 🤔 Ik zie je in de volgende video! 😄

the last one it a banded agate, not a pet wood. you should polish it to reveal the band. the yellow color on it it is called lemonite stain.

You might be right, it could be banding. It looks a lot like where a branch would attach, hence me thinking it's agatized pet wood. Polishing it would clarify the mystery lol. Thank you for your input!
