Agate Paradise Found: Living the Rockhound Dream

[@MontanaRockMom]

If you are a True Rockhound in your heart you will not be able to disagree that this rock hunt was top of the line UNBELIEVABLE. I know some of you would like some more information on how and where to find agates in Montana. Here are some great links: pdf4pro.com/view/meanderings-of-a-montana-rockhound-525eeb.html and www.rockngem.com/montana-agate-the-best-catch-on-the-yellowstone-river/ Please see my video description for more information. Best of luck on all your rockhounding adventures!

[@ikestoddard2458]

You managed a marvelous haul! Agate paradise, indeed! I hope you show Theo. If you put slices up for sale later, I would like one blue slice, please. In Nova Scotia, last place I did any agate hunting, in the ‘60’s, there were no blue specimens. Cheers!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Ike Stoddard I have been so impressed by all the BLUE in the Yellowstone gravels. Seeing these agates is really breathtaking. They are quite impressive.

[@graemero5532]

Just wondering, did you get the idea for "Choppercam" from The Lion Whisperer ?

[@MontanaRockMom]

@@graemero5532 is that someone who puts a gopro on a lion?

[@MicAdams-bb5sh]

How much do you want for the agate at timestamp 5:03?, let me know., also at 5:46

[@patriciamckean4186]

So....very ...many.....gorgeous rocks. Those colors red orange, blues....can't wait to see the cutting.

[@camilovergara6653]

You are the best YT rockhound. As for me, you price more quality than size! Your finds are just amazing!

[@MontanaRockMom]

You comment means a great deal to me. Thank you and I appreciate that you watched my video.

[@atuuschaaw]

Absolutely loved it all, including the Chopper Cam! 😃♥

[@graemero5532]

Top notch rockhounding MRM. The blues are just the best. 💎

[@treasurelife6922]

There definitely were some beauties 🤩 in this video. The colors were just amazing like the blues. Speaking of color, I love how Chopper had his hair colored to match yours. What a guy! Rock On Kim!

[@susanmorseart4984]

Girl!!!! What an Epic day!!!!!! My husband and I love the Chopper cam!!!!!

[@MontanaRockMom]

I'm going to get better at the Chopper Cam I promise! 🥰

[@sandmaker]

You just have the knack of finding the places where all the coolest rocks hang out. If I had to pick the best I would have to say E V E R Y O N E O F T H E M! I'm like you, I would much rather have color, no matter what kind of stone it is. I think you broke me, looking at all those beautiful rocks, but you fixed me with all the great shots of Chopper. I hope you are having fun doing this, because you bring a lot of pleasure to a lot of us. Keep the goodness coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒ You get a gold star. 🌟

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you! I always look forward to your comments!

[@stuartkeithguitars4251]

Color.....my housel is pure tapestries hanging in clouds everywhere.....and crystal prisms in EVERY sunlit window. I'll probably move to Billings....the FIRST think I do is track the seasonal movements of the sun to make sure the crystals are optimally hung. I was flight instructor, an engineer, a manufacturer....it's only about color now. So....MANY 1000's of jiggling prisms on the right day...in my studio this is most relaxing and refreshing. I have cad/cam plans made for a light box that slowly turns 50 scientific prisms....one GIANT, VIVID rainbow can be projected with one....so 50 of them moving and interacting should be quite splendid...and unique.

[@michelleangers342]

The most beautiful agates I have ever seen!🤩🤩🤩

[@michaelgrimes1131]

It's amazing the agate you find up in Montana! I contacted some people in Montana, It was a government agency and they sent me some great information on the lower Yellowstone area and some maps as well Appreciate your enthusiasm! It's contagious! Planning a trip now! Can't wait to make the road trip. Thanks! Hillbilly Rockhound from Tennessee!

[@josemontalvo7139]

I love all the blue on today's hunt! 💙💙 Rock On!

[@scottowens1535]

Grinning every time. 😉Me also!! Real pleasure enjoying that rock wonderland you are searching. Just amazing diversity, must have been built from a long turbulent past . Nature's more spectacular than anything we create... Ohh except our child's? Maybe 😂😂😂😂😎 Ya Mostly 😀😀😀. Heading to red top mountain in Wa. State. In Couple Day's, after watching you I'm stoked and ready 👍 . Be well nice lady and May your Finds and time's be spectacular!! Later, Scott.

what a cool Idea putting the camera on chopper!

Awesome finds, drogons going to be as happy as you all are.

[@maryzefo3801]

Oh I just love the agates that you are finding and the blue ones I wish I could find some of those and I can't find some I'm going to buy me some thank you for sharing your adventures

[@raundupuis3134]

The river that keeps on giving...unbelievable finds Kim. I'm too old to move, dang it. At the 10:00 mark, wow!

[@MontanaRockMom]

10:00 is a phenomenal find that had my heart engaging in some unauthorized relay races!

[@stevemace1725]

Great finds TODAY, MRM stunning.

[@spetkovsek57]

Wow, that was an amazing haul of Agates today. I'd have my saws running non-stop everyday until I got through all of them. If you're bored with all those Banded and Dendritic Agate, you can send them to me and I'll find a nice home for them. Montana is one of my favorites. I've only been there once to collect and I didn't find anything like you do in your videos. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and making us all jealous!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you Stephen for watching and commenting 😊

[@fenix02008]

EXCELLENT FINDS, ALL❣️ Agreed; You CANT just pick ONE❣️ Thx for sharing. Great close ups at end. Must be a good camera❣️ I also follow Theo and Kate. You all are great hunters❣️ Keep on Rockin❣️

[@katielane4431]

The agates that you found today are truely beautiful. I rockhound thru you. Thank you for taking us along with you. Can’t wait until you cut some of these. We don’t get the same sort of agates in Australia. Take care of you. And Chopper always 🇦🇺

[@offyarocka]

Dang!!!! Some awesome finds there!!!!

[@jamesblondeau1029]

Wow Kim some of those dark agates are the colours of Brazilian agates. So beautiful and the blue one oh my gosh to colours of the stuff you find. Breath taking. And chopper cam is a cute touch to your videos. Thank you for taking the time to do the video 😀

[@MontanaRockMom]

I can't wait to cut a couple of those dark agates!

[@jamesblondeau1029]

@@MontanaRockMom i can only imagine the true colours. Cameras no matter how good can never do justice to nature wether its a pretty colour in a stone or the magentas, yellows and oranges of a sunset.

[@elleisme8565]

You and Theo find the coolest stuff!

[@gmariet1391]

I love watching you find all the beautiful agates and rocks ! Your enthusiasm is awesome . I'm not from or in Montana but it I've visited and now look forward to finding a few of my own to admire !

[@tott3457]

I don’t have much Getty-Up in. My Go these days. So watching Rock Hounding Videos enables my to go on an adventure. Absolutely amazing Finds!🙏

[@MontanaRockMom]

Sometimes I really have to kick myself in the butt to get going...but once I am out there...it's hard to get me off the river!

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

* WOW ~ That first Agate is SO Blue.. Hope it really IS Blue when cut.. You will need a Wagon to haul your finds if you keep finding Such Big Beauties..

[@justjulee9135]

You really do live in agate paradise! I can't wait to finally be able to travel to Montana to see the Yellowstone and find some of my own beautiful rocks!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Total agate paradise! Not counting all the agates I probably stepped on and didn't even realize it.

[@upperpeninsulabeautiful]

I certainly haven't seen all your videos...but you always seem to find the most beautiful Yellowstone agates...one right after another!

[@dianeshurte5876]

Montana Rock Mom you have very pretty teeth. I liked your adventure and would like to say thank you for taking me along - you have a great eye.

[@underdogdalton1377]

love your finds today my wife an I are so jelly of your Yellowstone hunts chopper cam was a excellent idea how about adding some cuts of your finds for that day I'm sure drogon would be very appreciative as would we sending good vibes from Tennessee

[@Polywogger]

These are spectacular! They are very simular, if not identical to the agates and jasper, petrified wood, I collect way over here in Manitoba Canada in our Souris area. Love how they look like windows to another universe. I can stare at my collection every day and not get tired of them! 😍🤩

[@MontanaRockMom]

Wow! I didn't know you had these over there in Manitoba....how cool is that! Then you can totally identify with how awesome they are...the camera just doesn't do it justice sometimes

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: I found you through Theo Kellison. I really respect the way you support other rock people to live their dreams. Your adventures are amazing as well as your finds. LOVE the "Chopper Cam"! We can learn soooo much from our best friends can't we?

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment Kelly.

[@notinmanitou]

You and Chopper are quite the team! As he matures, he will make a great 2nd cameraman for you. He's so much fun to watch too. So lively and full of joy. I love that you hunt for color. I think the plain Montana agates are kind of boring. It's nice to see someone hunt for a variety of rocks. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@ricksmith1647]

I think this was probably your best hunt ever. The amount of quality rocks is unbelievable. I recently spent 5-6 days hunting on the Yellowstone and never found anything comparable to your best 15 rocks. Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@MontanaRockMom]

I have been working hard fine tuning my Yellowstone River hounding skills... feels good to me that you recognized the good quality of these finds...for sure this is one of my best rockhounding adventures ever. Thank you for watching and commenting.
