Awesome finds!! I used to go rock& crystal hunting once a week in the kettles of WI.. It would be sweet to go in a different state..😃

[@glenn5903]

What do you use to clean them with??😅😅

[@ericcleland817]

What part of Arizona were you rockhounding for these agates, and quartz crystals? I personally live south of Tucson, down in Vail, and Im interested to know. Thanks @Agate Dad\

[@claybowser698]

I have pallets of rocks I've found on my property. I live near Tombstone. I bought a cheap tile saw. My wife says I am the only grown man she knows who always has rocks in his pockets.

[@lisamanrique1770]

You're definitely not alone by filling pockets, or bag or bucket with rocks!!!

[@evonne315]

She has no idea.

[@shannonlee3671]

Lived in AZ my entire life. We kinda forget to appreciate stuff like this because it's everywhere here.

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: You're in some of my old digs. I forgot what a beautiful and majestic environment exists in that location. Feels wonderful to recall the experiences! Bless you! Safe journeys!

[@lorettamartinez2144]

Awesome finds! I’m here in Arizona and love finding all those wonderful treasures !!! Beautiful

[@AgateDad]

Awesome!

[@heleneturgeon3856]

I went to Arizona six years ago but wasn’t into rockhounding then. This video (and the previous one) make me want to go back JUST to rockhound! 😅 These are amazing finds!

[@AgateDad]

Do it!!

[@SissyMchill1]

I can not thank you enough for your videos. I am 53 and not sure I’ll ever be able to spot great finds. Great meaning what geologist and experienced rock hounds search for and gather. I’ve always loved rocks normally due to shape. I never realized how beautiful they can be on the inside. Your channel is bar far my favorite along with two other Channels. No fake skits just like educational and love for rocks. Thank you. So glad you loved Arizona rocks. Hopefully you can come more often. It helps me so much to find nice rocks here in Arizona.

[@ShelliHart-p7l]

My 7 year old grandson wants to be a geologist when he gets older. He picks up rocks wherever he goes. He loves your channel. Thx. From north Phoenix area.

[@donnalantz7981]

Wow such a great collection of beautiful finds. Love the crystals and the beautiful banded ones.

[@pretzeltime3900]

Great finds! My sister and I went out to Arizona a few years ago and I found the most amazing agates in the desert. Just beautiful specimens everywhere you look. Can’t wait to see your next vids when you cut some of these beauties.

[@ohmike813]

Love seeing you out exploring the desert! Keep up the great videos. Mike

[@susietincknellsmith653]

I ❤ the desert! I’m still trying to figure out where you are by looking at the scenery! I am in awe of your bounty!

[@terrinopp]

Think it's by 4th of July Peak

[@snowballil3133]

Love Arizona

[@ryans2118]

U have no idea how much beautiful agate i find there! Always looking for the next epic spot. In the middle of no where. Thats the best part!

[@andrewohst2430]

Great finds! I was just in Arizona a couple of weeks ago. Did some hounding north of Sedona near Gray Mountain. Found some agate, jasper, petrifiedwood but strangest of all was a small cowrie shell. It's a bit weathered. I'd like to think it got there by Native Americans trading.

[@sandybonfiglio7545]

Arizona was once the ocean floor! Lots of shells in Yuma!

[@patriciamckean4186]

Just came back this spring...live in the desert during winter...Quartzsite. Now waiting for Michigan weather to agree it's spring. So many rocks so little time.

[@kc195556]

Wow! Just WOW‼️

[@wattacurlwants]

Not sure where you are, I have my speculations, but what an exciting day! Amazing hounding here! This hobby/lifestyle has taken me all over the state!

[@randyshypkowski2196]

Enjoyed your Arizona rock hounding!!!

[@mragatetv22]

good finding agates brother thanks for review ❤

[@jmcgovern6454]

In the rough they are all beautiful pieces !

[@roxannetellini3134]

Oh wow, this was just posted. I hope you had alot of fun out there.

[@soul_adventurist]

Those are very beautiful ❤ thanks for sharing!

[@justjulee9135]

Oh my goodness! What a haul of beautiful rocks! I'm ready to see the insides of those nodules! I'm sure it was great to get out of the snow for a while! 😊

[@kslinaz5668]

I'm in north AJ, AZ, foothills of the Usery Mt. In my yard, I'm finding exactly what you're finding, much of which I wasn't sure if they were agates until your Arizona series. I'm anxious to see what you do with each type because I don't know what should be cut or tumbled... or will it be sandstone, ☹️ Thank you.

[@VickiBenn-c2o]

I'm originally from Tucson☀Az!!! I SO wish I was into this when I lived there! I am just starting! Great finds and love your passion!!

[@stephaniephelps3539]

Wow - what great finds!!! Can't wait to see what you do with your hauls!

[@troyverzani9836]

Love it bud! It was a blast going out hounding with you and the unnamed 3rd party lol. Can't wait to see some cuts!

[@AgateDad]

It was such a good time! Can’t wait to get back, hopefully to your claim 🤘🤘

[@troyverzani9836]

​@@AgateDad absolutely. Filled out my paperwork yesterday

What a great haul from the desert. I miss the desert so much, because of the abundance of good material. Good video.😎

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

Loved them all!!! Thank you!!!

[@theresaherrrera8224]

I mijo....great finds and hearing you so excited 😱💜😂

[@MichaelRayStockton]

I find jasper, agate, and so much. I can't identify. I live along the New River Trail. In Peoria, AZ. My backyard is a Rockhounding heaven lol Enjoy your videos. Keep Shining like a Crystal!!!

[@jennifertalley49]

I’d need barrels, not buckets lol 😂!! This looks like heaven, and so exciting ❤. You found so many cool things.

[@delfic1108]

love the video of your desert adventure. The music is great too. Some agates look like blue lace agate and those crazy looking nodules. What's not to love? Thanks

[@anncope281]

Nice video! I can't wait to see you cut into them. Beautiful stones.

[@laurat5143]

😮Wow! I ❤love all your finds. I was surprised how fast you had your frist few, some day I'll get out and about and some good one's. I really love all those water lines and bands as well. You had some great ones. Thumbs-up 😅👍 it was a awesome day out.

[@chrisbgifford7387]

Super cool! Not as cold as Michigan!

[@live4thehunttoday678]

Awesome video as usual. I love rock hounding my home state. You need to come up to the high country in Arizona. Rock hounding in the line trees in the rivers and creeks is amazing too

[@desert-walker]

I do a lot of hiking in Tucson I don’t really find that much stuff in my area but pretty cool😊

[@sandybonfiglio7545]

Volcanoes all over Az I use to work crop dusting had to fly once in awhile seen them all over! Being from Hawaii I’m used to cones and lava flow spreads!

[@E.o.t.4637]

Stunning finds!! The colors are impressive! The iron stained quartz could be tangerine quartz! Can't wait for the cutting videos to start rolling out! Still jelly😁🧡

[@savvycraftings]

The first few veins look almost exactly like what I find in the ditches near my property!!! It's all quartz however. But still beautiful ❤️

[@mariehillard1742]

A bucket of blue!

[@snowballil3133]

Where or what part of Arizona can you find areas like this

[@sandybonfiglio7545]

The river beds are great places to look, Santa Cruz river washes!

[@reginadias5284]

Muito obrigada pelo vídeo num local tão diferente.

[@michaelbearss371]

[@notinmanitou]

What fun!! Beautiful rocks! How did you get them home? Carry on or checked baggage? I really enjoyed the music you chose too.

[@danielcole9620]

I miss the desert.

[@keithcunningham7925]

Amazing haul Arizona have the best agates I think love them thanks for sharing Arizona is on my bucket list to go to

[@AgateDad]

Gotta do it!

[@greenbayrockhuntress]

Great video! I'm actually heading out there for the first time in a few days. I have a feeling it's going to be a 50# haul bringing back home, like the first time I went to MN. 😆

[@rockersfromaz3001]

Dang! Amazing finds. I have lived in Az my whole life. WHERE YOU GUYS AT lol I would love to know! But I am glad you came to the desert 🌵 and found some beauties to take home with ya. Again! 😊👍

[@Moreno.Andrew]

Tonight i will dream of the Apache Tear i found walking around the desert as a child

[@jimlancaster6120]

That was good. You found some interesting stuff. ❤️👍👏

[@AgateDad]

Thanks Jim!

[@kzbay1685]

Good stuff. See any snakes, scorpions or tarantulas?

[@AgateDad]

Nope!

Troy has a good eye!

[@AgateDad]

He does!

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

I like the ones with the blue

[@lisamanrique1770]

I know there are some that absolutely will not give out their specific hounding area, but how about at least a general location??? Sharing is caring - especially when there is so much available. I share locations whenever anyone asks, love to help other rock hounders find goodies to take home 😃

[@bobbyallstar13]

Where at in Arizona did you find these?

[@aleembuscadoscristais]

Top demais amigo

[@michaeltrimble7680]

Wow, what county was this? AZ and New Mexico have some cool spots! This is why we need teleportation, dang it!

[@MEME-nm8mh]

Look likes you have a hawk eye ....beauty .... all of them

[@kellyhollingsworth6100]

Looks like you found just about everything, and the great thing no snakes. Did you find any scoria?

[@AgateDad]

Scoria?

[@kellyhollingsworth6100]

@@AgateDad It is common in volcanic areas, high in iron hence the word scoria Greek for rust.

[@Gmks359]

Hi I just found your video. I have a rock question. My husband was picking up nails and screws with a magnet and a rock stuck to the magnet my rock app says it’s quartz but quartz isn’t magnetic have you come across any magnetic rocks?

[@nancygaxiola5412]

Where are you in AZ?!?? I need flat places to go in AZ now, that I'm older and can't climb!

I wish Ohio had cool stuff like this

[@jules8299]

My son just moved from the Sierra Vista area. He brought me some big nodules. We have some cool crystals here in Tennessee. I want to cut come of mine open.

[@courtneydollarhide3313]

Will you make a video cutting open the Arizona agates?

[@AgateDad]

You bet I will!

[@davidschmidt270]

Hey everyone! 👋 I live in Phoenix and accidentally stumbled onto rockhounding by accident but am really curious!!!.... Sooo I was wondering, what do you guy's do with all your cool finds??? 🤔

[@jmb22stars]

Where abouts is this at? Woupd love to tqke a trip up with my neices and nephew. We could use alittle cheering up, after my mom unexpectantly passed away.

[@elizabethlewis3509]

Found alot of blue agates while hunting White Mountains. Where are you hunting?

[@AgateDad]

That’s aweosme!

[@mark1981]

Maybe I missed it, but did you give a general location? I'm in AZ and I think my kids might enjoy hunting some cool blue banded rocks.

[@karinfearlessdragon]

I want to go to there

[@danyellea.m.]

Did you ever post a video cutting or polishing any of these finds?

[@AgateDad]

Yes

[@JuanTawn-z8b]

Beautiful area, but also mysteriously dangerous. Several people have disappeared, and skeletal remains have been uncovered. My sibling suffered nearly fatal injuries after crashing in a wash in that exact location. There are quite a bit of ancient native foot paths out there too...( Maybe the area has some suffering souls lingering around.) Very nice area, just be cautious, and don't wander at night.(lots of coyotes and wild dogs) I ran into some Mountain Lion dens myself... It's one of the few areas left where they can roam free and unbothered.

[@LXRPostalProspecting]

Was this on Public land or private? If public, can you share the location? I would love to make it out there.

[@AgateDad]

It was public, out of respect for the guy who shared it with me I told him I’d keep it private on my end.

[@LXRPostalProspecting]

​@@AgateDad I get that. I will do my research and see if I can find some cool agates. I live here so I got some time 😅

[@lisamanrique1770]

Even just giving the general area wouldn't be specific enough to do your contact harm. What's the sense in sharing what you found if no one else can enjoy findling some like you? Rock hounders are a sharing community, usually.

[@bretlenhart8280]

What part of AZ? Im south of Tucson and it has to be somewhere between Tucson and Phoenix judging by the saguaro

[@wolfmama7879]

The hole 🕳️ you pointed out was a rattle snake 🐍 den and during this time of the year they hibernate because the weather is not hot enough for them to be outside.

[@katarinalasee3071]

Any exact spots to check?? Driving here sunday

[@susannehubbell2799]

I would be I so much trouble. I would have to drive so I could carry all my buckets of rocks!!!
