[@RobWenzel84]

MMMMMM petrified wood, The best

[@MontanaRockMom]

That first Jasper... Love 💘

[@jokesterk5302]

Man,what a great day! ,when I was young,used to search through the gravel in buildingsites,later wherever I could,still do when possible. Keep it up! It is pure magic!

[@andrewmcadam]

Hey Kip, we are a family of new rockhounds. Twix, Jack and I (Captain) are training our humans to find beautiful rocks and other treasures in the Colorado Springs area. We have just joined CSMS, so when the snow starts to melt, we will be trying out a lot of areas. My Dad's name is Andrew, we trained him to feed us and drive us places to explore. You seem pretty cool, so you are welcome to join some time if you'd like. Heck, Yellowstone would be a great place to visit, also. My Mom has an 11 year old boy, and a 12 year old girl. but don't worry, they know their place in the pack. Great video and maybe we can hunt for awesome stones! Captain

[@lindenbug]

The green rock is a perfect rock

[@annemariemayr3576]

Thanks for sharing. You find really a lot of nice pieces.🤩👍🍀

[@sharonbendtsen3421]

That green jasper is gorgeous

[@halinawojciechowska4612]

Super, Super, Super!!!

[@notinmanitou]

Greetings from SW Michigan! Our idea of heaven is a Lake Superior beach in the fall. We love jasper (mostly red here), fossils, banded chert (yellow or brown to off white here) and whatever else catches our eyes. We just bought our first tumbler, but we've been collecting rocks for years and just displaying them around the house and yard. We've been working our way forward from your first video. We viewed your 10/11/2020 video on 05/14/2022, so we have some catching up to do! We have so enjoyed your trips with your family and Kip! Thank you for sharing!

[@heatherswope361]

I'm in Texas so I've been hunting for ammonites and other fossils.

[@AgateAngler]

That sounds like a fun hunt! Thanks for watching!

[@BeachBushandBeyond]

Nice finds there Alex! Love the green jasper....anything green catches my eye 💚

[@thisisme1999]

Once a week I get my Agate Angler fix and you did not disappoint. Thank you for sharing your passion and enthusiasm and always fun to see Kip!

[@joomnaj42]

Nice stones you've got!

[@susiecraddock3147]

Wow that jasper at begining! Looks like it has the most wonderful vibes!

[@susiecraddock3147]

They are all so gorgeous

[@AgateAngler]

Some of the jasper I find is so so so unique. I love it. Thanks for watching Susie!

[@mariaaquije520]

Beautiful findings ❣

[@georginabuziak5110]

AMAZING finds today for sure!!!!!

[@nataliekidd3744]

Nice finds today! I really liked the small agate that had the orange/pink outer side!

[@megbreiter6314]

Nice finds... thanks for letting me join you guys.

[@mary-anneswanson8445]

Gorgeous rocks Alex :) Glad Kip wasn't too badly hurt and maybe he will think twice before treeing a really big squirrel poor fella .

[@MrsOx-jz9fg]

Oh man Alex I still can't get over the piece's you leave!! Another good one

[@jackiebohrer2987]

Lived in Montana for 8 years and never once went rock hunting. Wish I was there now.

[@MrsOx-jz9fg]

@@jackiebohrer2987 I'd love to take the trip for a weekend just to go rock hounding

[@RocketRockhound]

You got to tumble the banded chert!!!

[@doloresmanning9619]

Love that first big jasper you found with all the multi colors!

[@midwestkid1879]

Heck yeah! I love how they glow before you spray them 😍

[@FoxyGirlWonder]

You missed one! 😆

[@leonahauf1290]

I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your beautiful finds.

[@Mz.Stephanie]

AHHHH!!! I would lose my mind out there! lol

[@CityRockhounding]

Glad Kips ok, awesome rocks in this video. Learning new things about rocks and also what to look for. Thanks for inspiring me to plan another adventure!

[@Mz.Stephanie]

I am really digging this video! BUT please slow the panning around I'm dizzy!

[@SamsonsamSim]

So many beautiful finds so hard to pick a favorite! Thanks for sharing! Stay safe 🙏

[@imeldajadulco7579]

I love to see those stunning pieces of agates and petrified woods.Your dog complement the scene,making a wonderful afternoon.Thanks so much Sir for easing my stressful afternoon office work.

[@thegingerguru352]

Beautiful finds 😍 even the small agates!

[@angef9687]

I love these videos because not only are you sharing your hobby with us, the excitement in your voice when you find a great piece makes it feel like Christmas morning! My daughter (she's only 7) loves learning about the different rocks as she's compiling a bucket list of finds for our camping trip next summer. I also shared your last video with my brother in law after I seen a picture of the gravel bar along the river where he took my niece & nephew swimming this summer. Thank you for being an inspiration and happy hunting!

[@mamuanilutmang5148]

Do you make jewellery stones (earring stone, ring stone, necklace appendant, etc) from those beautiful rocks?

[@montanastorm6969]

I love that treasure state agate u found that u said was a treat. It looks like a cross in it

[@406findings]

That banded chert piece was really nice they tumble really good as well, I love finding them 👍

[@donnabeaudin9114]

What awesome finds! When you described the jasper as having red veins , or arteries, it made me chuckle, your medical training was showing😁. Great video!👍👍

[@kristengarza51595]

I just recently found a very similar piece of solid dark green jasper ! I kept it it was so pretty! Love your videos! I used to rock collect as a kid! Watching your videos has gotten me back into it!

[@curtisclogston2101]

I always enjoy watching you and kip looking for stuff on the Yellowstone river.it seems like it always gives you something great.

[@harleyv1969]

Gorgeous rocks, friend

[@judywheeler2711]

Hello 👋 exciting place to go rock hounding 👍🥰😉. I had to share this ❣️. I’ve got to invest in a good rock tumbler ❣️

[@AgateAngler]

You really should. I'll have some more rock tumbling videos coming out in the near future.

[@felishapenney6]

Would be cool. Slice of petrified wood for wire wrapping charms.. or just to see what the look like inside

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

All those finds are awesome, can’t wait to come hunt that river.

[@simplyramona8678]

At 17:49 below center and slightly to the right, I spot a bit of opalescence. A good agate perhaps?

[@AgateAngler]

Maybe! Good eye. I'm headed back out tomorrow, so maybe I'll check it out if I get that far.

[@draven3838]

I have a cashe of arrowheads made from petrified wood

[@kristirudolph7504]

Yep 18 days later we have 15 inches of snow ugh. Good videos.

[@AgateAngler]

Yes indeed! Thanks for watching Kristi!

[@kristirudolph7504]

@@AgateAngler have you ever been up to glendive and did the petrified wood ranch? I have a Client that went up there and brought back some massive agatized petrified wood. It was $120, but was huge pieces.

[@rockinwitht9948]

Crazy agate-fest!!! That little blue one looked like it had a bunch of eyes!! So much fantastic pet wood!! The two with the great rings were my fav!

[@sharonbendtsen3421]

Looks like a bob ross painting

[@naturalstones4529]

Great finds! there are even some great igneous and metamorphic specimens all around too!

[@J_H_Rahbek]

The green jasper :0

[@kimbain4368]

Wonderful finds today! And what a beautiful place. Thanks for taking us along!

[@patrickbeaton6697]

gotta love a day like that, sweet finds. I needed that lil' treasure huntin' vid, thanks Alex, appreciate ya takin' us along. 👊🍻

[@LanceDean]

What an awesome haul! I really like that red and yellow jasper piece, would look great tumbled! Terrific finds. Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@virginiarocks]

Wow. Just gorgeous finds and a lovely day. I really hope to get out there someday. I got some stones from a local gravel company - the lady was nice enough to let me fill a quart container. I plan to take some of the tumbled stones back when I go to place an order. I haven’t seen any agates yet, but I might get lucky. Or have to drive back to Michigan and look for more.

[@foxecarpentress4964]

I Love God's Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👏🏻🤴🏼🙌🏻 I Hope, in the very near future, you Give Thanks to Jesus, for Giving you such a day, of Him Showing and Giving you, His Awesome Creations! He even Gave you that one, white one, that has a CROSS in it!!! Hint, hint...... He's The Rock of Ages, the Most Pretty Rock, that Made them All and He's the Breath of Beautiful Life, In, you and your dog Kip! I pray, you get a Holy Bible and look into Him, More, beginning in The Book of John..... Blessings ✝️

[@marthafenimore4279]

At about 19:20 right after the green jasper there was a beautiful layered stone. I wonder what it was. Beautiful finds today.

[@solnascente1814]

Excelente vídeo pedras lindíssimas obrigada

[@acomment2242]

Also enjoy collecting, cutting and polishing agates here in Scotland, its a great hobby. However I have a different world view of there origin. I consider them to have either been formed during the great flood which involved massive earth upheaval with extensive volcanic and earthquake activity or at the beginning of creation by the God of the bible. We also have some gemstones which can be faceted, something I am working on right now. Do like the riverbeds where you collect from, simple and clean. We don't have so much of that available in rivers, but we do have plenty pebble beaches. Keep up the with the videos. Thanks JS.

[@KatyDidRocks]

My son Tor spots little agates like a boss. Me, not so much. :D Sweet video, Alex - hope you are well.

[@Jakethesnake7321]

That’s great I’m jealous

[@jhingbangayan762]

Oh thank God, I finally got to watch you again😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️ I enjoy your videos. I also collect stones from places or countries I have been😊 I always finish your videos😊 my faves are the petrified woods. 🙏🙏❤️stay safe and healthy🙏🙏🙏

[@AgateAngler]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@wildflower4363]

...2:30 mark. 👍 TY ..fun ! Hi Kip🐾

[@stacyjv_4982]

Love all the different types of stones you are finding on the Yellowstone. Would love to see more of the pinkish stones, perhaps rhodochrosite? Anyway, I love your channel!!

[@AgateAngler]

I'll try to keep that in mind next time I'm out filming. Thanks Stacy!

[@scottfergusson8411]

Funny .... same exact rocks and petrified wood here in NorCal

[@mariocastrorobles1867]

You should totally upload a video of the treasures you find and how they look when you polished them

[@timcarver5492]

What an outstanding day of hounding. Thanks for sharing! It's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada so tomorrow I'll be working off the turkey with some beach hounding.

[@weeu1]

So many rocks to chose from. Nice thing is if you decide you really didn't want or need them, you can take them back for someone else to find. Agates are so beautiful, like they have a life of their own embodied inside of them. Of course the petrified wood is always a find...50 million years old? I wonder what kind of stories trees would tell, if they could talk.

[@joane.landers9151]

Thanks for sharing this video for someone who lives in CT. We have nothing like these river stones along our rivers/streams. Our southern border is fully along Long Island Sound.

[@AgateAngler]

My Pleasure! Glad you enjoyed. Thanks so much for watching.

[@patrickgreen5978]

I'm new to the channel

[@janahertzberg6485]

Love your hunts! Can’t wait to hunt the Yellowstone on Friday when coming through Montana!

Uau super gostei...muito top amigo. Great vídeo my Friends.. 🤩😍

[@patriciamckean4186]

Omg, poor kip Porcupine quills are evil. Hopefully he stays away from them. Thank you for sharing your hunt.

[@purdydo]

Just came back from Oregon pokedot agate mine. Cool finds here on this channel keep on hunting.

[@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976]

Great video! Beautiful rocks! Do you ever dig down into the sand and stones to find hidden Agates.

[@joshmihalz7338]

Agates are beautiful! I wish I lived where u do ! I live in PA... There's some nice things..but not like that! 😣

[@jeanneroets9633]

Love Kip also the stones would love to get my hands on petrified wood on i am from South Africa

[@Monkeysic]

Wish we had neat rocks to find around me! There are so many rocks i see in your videos of blue and green and red dont know what they are but they all look cool!

[@codygibson2525]

I’m getting to have a large collection of rocks and don’t really know what to do with them or how to make them presentable to put around my house. What do you usually do with yours? Do you have any ideas?

[@maverickstclare3756]

Who knew agates were popular with lady bots!? Sat here watching with my tumblers tumblin'

[@gearwax]

Ever try a UV flashlight on those rocks?

[@AgateAngler]

I'd really like to pick one up at some point to see how it looks.

[@azureandersen9465]

Hey AA! I want to see more green Jasper or a vid of your collection pre tumbled

[@petualangan_alam_nyata]

Good👍👍

[@AgateAngler]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@asmaravilhasdocriadoretern133]

Lindas aguatas gostei !Sucesso Sempre !Tmj

[@chrissieadams1578]

Do you take a UV light with you, saw some yopperlite stones, they'll be florescent under UV, give it a try sometime, after dark is best,. X

[@jessiegrider529]

I went out looking for rocks today and I found an old ax head. it's very heavy I think it's iron and I think it was actually a forged ax head, pretty old.

[@stoogeslap]

Mr. Agate Angler... why do you only give yourself a couple hours? Guessing it's because of work? I \f I ever make out to Yellowstone, I'd start at 1pm & go until a half an hour before sundown. Awesome finds & thanks for the relaxing vid. Unfortunately I haven't gone out hounding in SoCal for 2 months (360 degree bulged disc, 18 mm, between L4 & L5) that's kept me from exploring & hunting. I hope 2021 brings me some adventures!!! And I hope you have adventures too!!!

[@bedilereromoko1654]

Good master...

[@deegingerkid]

You mentioned you had an insta - I IMMEDIATELY went to my phone and followed. I got you one closer to 1000 followers! I was #997! :D Great vid, thank you as always

[@nonsenseinc.5569]

Hey! At 5:14, that type of jasper is called poppy jasper. I found one a few weeks ago

[@AgateAngler]

Thanks for the info!

[@phyllisalippert-kelly524]

That treasure state agate with the banding looks like a butterfly😊 Have you ever encountered a grizzly bear on yourhunts⁉️

[@AgateAngler]

Hello! I have never seen or run into a Grizzly down on the river. Hopefully it stays that way. I did see a black bear once though.

[@simplyramona8678]

Having Kip with you is a good way to maintain your record of not meeting up with a brown bear. An extra pair of eyes and an excellent nose to watch your back while your attention is on the stones. 😉

[@chrissmith6862]

Just found you a couple weeks ago and have learned alot already

[@nicholasgoetz6907]

I see other great stones and can't tell you. I been a rock hound ..70 years old. Rose quartz my love.

[@billy-jenniferrichardson3911]

Thanks for showing us how to hunt for these beauties! We have come from KY to hunt on the Yellowstone. So far in Yellowstone the river is flooded. Wondering if you can direct us to a location to hunt. Thanks!

[@daitontaylor2313]

Just found my first peice of agatized wood yesterday.

[@nickyjul9642]

Yay, congrats!

[@victorenache3927]

Oh man , awesome finds , good job , i love to find unique agates or some special wood , keep on rockhounding with Kip and stay safe . Ps: i think now u already have a huge pile of agates and wood , how do u stash them ? Winter is coming

[@wyodino6245]

Jasper...Yes!

[@sharonbendtsen3421]

I am hoping next yr to be able to get out there myself

[@duanewhite3184]

The rock with the red Inn it looks a gold nugget so why don't you have a metal detector with you

[@kittygreenleaf427]

At 19:40 when you found that stunning agate, what was the stone to your left? Looked multi colored.😁

[@victorenache3927]

U right , i think it was a huge agate ??? Omg

[@stefanieschmid9760]

At 19:34, left side of the screen, that thing with the cool layers.... can't stand Alex didn't even look at it... 😢

[@kittygreenleaf427]

Oh well Steph, maybe next time. 😁💖

Looks like petrified wood.
