@@majbarkai Yay, I'm so happy to hear that. Thanks for telling me. I know some people have a tough time with the algorithm if they feel it's missing it's mark. I'm glad it sent me to you though. I appreciate all my viewers and subscribers and if you comment, I'll respond. We're building a great Just One More Rock community here and I want everyone to feel like they're just watching their friend Fred playing with rocks. Welcome and I hope you enjoy our journey together. Take care. Fred

@@jimdutcher6678 I know. I'm so excited to connect with my friend and get it done. I think it will be spectacular.

@@JnVrockhounding I'm trying to connect with my friend Kay, the one who sold me the Thundereggs, because she has a large lapidary saw that will cut this geode in half. I feel the inside should be exposed to display as a beautiful piece. Oh and I'm jealous for your geode finds.

@ I have a couple hunt videos and cracking videos. Watch those and you’ll definitely be jealous lol.

@JnVrockhounding I just watched one and you're right, I'm jealous. Thanks for pointing me in the way of your video and channel. I just subscribed 👍.

@ thank you.

Cutting 1 down the middle could ruin the spine. It looks like a spine on the one side.

@@WOODnCHROME I know, I'm curious about that one as well. That one is fully unknown to me. I guess we'll see soon enough. Maybe I open that one in my next mystery bag video.

Ooohhh. I love that rock but I hadn't known of stromatoporoid. I'm glad you mentioned that because I looked it up. Yes it is possible it's one but the history I know of Clatsop Spit is that the glacial till was placed 8500 years ago, but that's not necessarily where they formed and maybe the rocks were moved multiple times and Clatsop Spit is it's last movement. The one thing by looking these up is that I seen images of these "plates" with a bumpy sort of alligator looking skin. I have a couple of those out of Washington but I didn't know what they were. You may have set me on the right path. Thanks bud. 🎸🎶😁

@just-one-more-rock It's always a pleasure texting with you Fred 🙂! I like a good geology "mystery". What kind of vehicle does Thor the thunder god drive? A cumulonimbus! Feel free to groan at any time.

@RickSmith-kp3sy The cheesier the better. One mans groan is another mans knee slapper. I appreciate our banter as well.

@@RHAHEHSHDHDH I guess you like some of the green rocks that come from here? I'm fond of them also but I also love the reds as well. When they are together then I'm stoked. I'm getting good response from cutting green rocks. Maybe I collect a dozen and cut them for an all green rock cutting video.

Yay, glad you enjoyed it. It was a great time out and hoping River will be in more of my videos but I'll take what I can get from my wonderful teen. I can hardly keep up with my younger kid Dylan when he hounds so I don't know when he'll make an appearance. Anyway, yes #9 might be my favorite. I knew you'd like that last one. Similar look to lightning stones from Michigan and if I remember correctly, your a fan of those and Petoskey stones.

@@sherry2483 I think these were all great. I go back and forth on which are my favorites.

@@sherry2483 Yep, a beauty.

@@RickSmith-kp3sy Nice. I love that one. Clever. I was just checking weather and I might have made up another dad joke from a moon phase. What do call a tree ape that is tired of the moon? A waning Gibbon 😁

@just-one-more-rock Good one Fred! 😄😂

@@tammieelliott5746 Alright, then that's one for Opal. Let's see how this plays out over the week. Thanks for playing.

Well I guess I know how you're voting on this one. Thundereggs made it to the next round. What if Geodes made it to the next round and those two battle it out? Then you'd have to choose one. So many dilemmas in life but this is a fun one to have.

@@leonacrowley164 Hey yeah...I suppose I could do that. Thanks for the idea. Simple but effective.

your fav rock really looks like it has gold with whatever camera you are using .......... maybe its just my glasses

Oh wow. Congratulations on Just One More Grandchild. Yes, very true...every rock as unique as each one of us as individuals. Enjoy your grandmumming 😉

@Mummaearth I'm not good at identifying gold in my rocks if it's been there. I'll use my little 10x magnifier to see if I can see anything significant. Thanks.

@@CherylMccrumb Yes, thank you. I appreciate all that share they're knowledgeable. Petoskey stone is now one I think I have locked in. I'm learning a lot from the experience. It will take me awhile to get all the terminology but I'm trying. Thanks

@@RickSmith-kp3sy I think you're right about the Jasper but I'm not sure I'd call it brecciated. I'm still learning but I felt I'd need to see more individual pieces that are cemented together. I'll take all advice though. Why is the Mississippi such an unusual river? Because it has 4 I's but can't see.

Thanks buddy. It was so fun. Now I have to do something with some of them. Aren't I blessed.

@just-one-more-rock You sure are!

@@Grandmasrockin Thanks GMA 😉

@ keep the coming Fred. Good job!!!

@Grandmasrockin Working on editing my next video of me and my oldest hounding at the beach. Then I already cut 12 baby Oregon Agates and they're waiting for me to get in the studio to reveal them. Trying to line some good stuff up.

@@just-one-more-rock I can’t wait!!!!

I see it. Looks like a pterodactyl. Why can't you hear a pterodactyl going to the toilet? Because they're all dead 😮... thought I was going to say because the P is silent, didn't you 😂 Sorry about the first cut not working out for you but once you start, you'll be addicted so you'll have many winners ahead of yourself... especially cutting material like that. There is a light purple in there, which is why I wanted to cut deeper. It just wasn't enough purple for me to call it amethyst. Maybe next time. I hear there's some in the hills near me. Have to explore next spring.

@@WOODnCHROME Awesome...enjoy your agate adventure. Good luck. Thanks, I appreciate it.

@@LezBeRockin73 I know. I loved every one of them. I've got a dozen small ones I've cut through also but you'll have to wait for that vid. Coming soon.

@@RickSmith-kp3sy Noice! Ok, so this will be a dumb one because I'm making it up on the fly. It's probably already a joke but I haven't heard it. What did the apple say to the orange to get a date? Your orange is a-peeling? I'm going to have to start making up geology puns soon. Keep em' coming, funny guy 😆

What did the female rock say to the male rock? You’re a hard one to break through to. Bahaha made that one on just now!

@sherry2483 Oh you're a cut above the rest 😁. I'm starting to wonder if I should have started a dad joke channel 😂

@just-one-more-rock I'll try to tone it down a little. Rocks, critters and dad jokes are my weaknesses.

What did the rocks name their kid? Sandy, a chip off the old block!

@@RickSmith-kp3sy Yep, I think Jasper is going to be the clear winner this week unless some huge Amber fans add their votes.

Did you vote on the video?

@@just-one-more-rock I thought I voted for jasper Fred???

@RickSmith-kp3sy You probably did. I can't see who votes. I just thought I'd throw it out there since you commented as well. Wanted to make sure you didn't think your comment was the vote. Thanks bud

I'd love to get to BC someday. Beautiful up there. If you're ever in my area, hit me up. I'd love to connect with my viewers on a hounding trip if I ever had a chance. I have a video where I cut some of these and will probably polish a couple of the nice big ones in a future vid. Yes, it was a very fitting name for the channel. If you looked at my homepage banner you'll see me hugging onto a quartz boulder while I'm being pulled away by my leg. That's my life in an image. Also the lives of many of you so we definitely all understand that need for Just One More Rock 😁

@@jimdutcher6678 Thanks...so many ideas, so little time. I'll do my best to keep fun ideas coming.

Don't know if and when I'll ever get any of those but thanks for the info. AgateDad does a lot of the Botswana and other exotic agates, I think.

I've done it multiple times. I like the idea myself...even though it was mine, but I think it can be perfected and be spectacular but more learning and trying things out. Maybe I'll kick up the water when cutting at night. It might be light one of those water light shows. Good shared idea, thanks. I'm far from any expert either, I think it's obvious. Many of us aren't... maybe that's how we relate. Just some diehard rock fans trying to have a good time. That sounds like fun. Enjoy yourself. Perfect poem 😂. Straight to the point and so true. Oh hey...if anyone happens to be talking rockhounding while you're there and you bring me up...I wouldn't mind 😉

@just-one-more-rock Of course!! When I said that about the water, I meant when you're showing them at the end. ☺️ Sometimes the water enhances the beauty 😍

​@@LezBeRockin73That is true...it does help. I use mineral oil for that but I could have used more. It did kind of dry up before I shot the footage. I had things set up to record and got called away by family. I forgot to add more when I got back before recording. I like the oil because it doesn't dry as quickly as water... especially if it's warm out or I'm in the sun. Plus then I'm not dripping water everywhere. Thanks for the suggestion. 👍

@just-one-more-rock ohhhh ok gotcha. Mineral oil. I'm going to have to try that! 🙂 Family first 💜 I always enjoy your videos. See ya next time

Great idea, that’s pretty cool.

@@patriciamilholand3585 Thanks. It's been a fun ride. 200 was 7 days ago and I'm at 246 right now. I'm climbing up faster than I would have expected. 14 and 15 are being mentioned in the comments. 15 is my favorite I think. Thanks for watching and taking your time to comment.

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

That's why I love cutting' uglies. So unpredictable. It's wonderful to see bands in obvious agates or obvious features in beautiful rocks, but the absolute unknown of an ugly rock is kind of thrilling adventure.

Let's go Jasper. I love the look of amber but it's not anything I can find in Oregon, as far as I know so I'm partial to Jasper. Amber is a big thing in other areas though and I can see there's some voting for it already so this could be another close one. Thanks for your vote.

@@ChristinaWeinberger Glad you liked the spot. I'll be there more though the winter season as the sands get pulled away. If you're a local and you see me out there then feel free to stop me to say hi. Oh and I have a video where I cut some of these finds if you want to check that one out. Thanks

@@sherry2483 I was thinking of cutting it again but I may just grind it down into a pendant or something. There's not a lot of material there so if I cut it then I'm not sure what I'll be left with. I may just have to flip a coin on that one. If I do something with it then I'll post it.

@@RickSmith-kp3sy Oh yeah, I think I remember not remembering about remembering that joke when I was so much older than I am...but of course I was still younger than I will be. Huh??? 🤔🤯😆

@just-one-more-rock Exactly your response.

@@sherry2483 Thanks. I'm really surprised people are enjoying it the way they are. It's nice being able to share my creativity.

@@Grandmasrockin You're clever, GMA cleaver 😁. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to do. Halloween was fun with friends and family.

@@robertharer6831 Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting that the one rock looked like teeth. That's what sparked the idea. I gave you recognition in text form when I started at the saw, in case you missed it. Thanks again.

@@robertharer6831 Oh, and there's a shorts version as well if you want to check that out. 👍

@@Bongus. No way... your favorite so far? I would never have thought this would be anyone's favorite as a rockhounding and lapidary channel. Wouldn't seem like it would align with most people's expectations but I like to keep em' guessing...and having fun. The song is just an asset from the editing program I use. You can email me at [email protected] and I think I can send it to you in a file. 🤔

@@RWOxner Thanks. I'm using a variable speed angle grinder. I forget the rpm range but it gets too fast to manage so I'm working within the first 3 speeds only, mostly first 2. This was a discounted open box Harbor Freight deal for $8. No instructions, ho handle. Yes, shorting out has recently started happening. What I've been doing lately, when not recording, is I place a shoe box sized tote lid over the body so the water runs off forward. I'm so low budget but I'm working on a plan to turn it into a more traditional flat lap so I'll do a video of that. It will be made of inexpensive every day stuff from any basic hardware store so many people can be capable of doing it themselves if they choose.

@@independencestnola Glad you liked it. I did a short form vid also but 1 minute is the blink of an eye so I did it both ways for those that want just a bit more...or prefer horizontal viewing. Thanks

@@Mummaearth You did that also? That's great. I'm glad they enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing with the kiddos.

@@JnVrockhounding It's out there for a rockhounding and lapidary channel but I am who I am, and I like to have fun. I'll assume not everyone will appreciate it but I can't please everyone all the time, if that's the case. Glad you enjoyed...I knew some of my people would 😀.

@ it was a fun and creative video. Lol

@@nancywilson9380 It was fun. Kids liked it 🎃😀

Ha 😂. Why was the gemstone scared to take his test? Because he was afraid he wasn't going Topaz. Oh that one was bad 😆 Thanks

@@WOODnCHROME No, never. Why you ask? 🤔

@just-one-more-rock there's some awesome celadonite crystals in green stone along with amybgoidal river stones with green glass and white garnet in some of those stones also copper and gold sheets

@just-one-more-rock look up the lost Lemmon mine in the early days of montana territory, the tobacco plains camp is a site I have claim and mineral rights ,just barely getting thru the top layers of a tailings dump bit awesome native green stone with celadonite crystals and aluminum crystals in basalt along with some unidentified stone

@@WOODnCHROME Wow, sounds wonderful. Now I want to go. 😁

@@WOODnCHROME I'll look that up. You have a claim? I guess you're the guy I look up if I'm ever heading that way if you want some company. Sounds like you have a lot of fun ahead of yourself. I'm jealous.

Alright. Did you vote? Thanks. Good luck 🤞

@@just-one-more-rock yea I vote fossil ❤️

@@sherry2483 Never be sorry for commenting. Comment all you want. It's what I hoped for when I started the channel. To have people enjoy and be engaged enough that they would want to take a moment to write something. The algorithm likes it, and I love it 😁 Oh, and 15 is my favorite.

@@sherry2483 You can see how I reacted...13 is a great one also.
