I've had the same issues when rockhounding and making videos, except I usually see so many prettier rocks I missed! The struggle is real!! 😂 I was wondering how you were rockhounding out there in the cold, but glad to hear you're having a warming trend! 🥳 Ok, now it's time for a rock pick hammer! Estwing has some of the best. ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️

I used to work on a Diamond Drill coring rig, doing mineral exploration, when I was younger... sometimes we would hit 50-60 feet of solid Chert, hard drilling really used to slow us down... I still remember the ringing of the hammer breaking the core samples to get them to fit into the sample boxes.

I found 2 pieces of petrified wood and a couple fossil sea shells... I thought it was cool. Just imagining what kind of ancient tree that it came from is fascinating. Finding a living organism locked in time like that is such a cool feeling... It was sitting there for untold thousands or millions of years until you walk along and notice it and pick it up. Pretty cool in my opinion anyways. That living orgasm lived it's whole life and died... And was preserved in perfect conditions for you to find it thousands or millions of years later... It's as close as you can get to traveling through time.

The crumbly red one is probably red ochre, a very popular pigment. The mystery yellow one early on looked like iron stained quartzite.

Having watched your videos and living in and around superior and Duluth, I think there was a serious lack of good agate in that rock pit. It’s just my opinion, but I still enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming.😎
