My friend fround a huge "agate" I say it's one of those rocks you like. But it does have some agate qualities. We were wondering if you get close to Duluth if you could have a look at it. Love your channel.

[@LauraNielson-b3g]

I love the little sidekicks, and the fact that you're willing to stop and cut open rocks found by your little son. I thought that was so special!

[@peggyallen6084]

Just want to say that I am addicted to watching YOUR videos! I am amazed by the beauty that God has hidden in those common looking stones. Also , your gentle way of speaking with zero cursing or use of crude language is very refreshing! Thank you!

[@julieastry8355]

Thanks Bill…send more!

[@CanvasJules]

Bill, I'll take one also ❤😂❤😂 Thanks😊

[@marymacdonald805]

Loved you cut your don’s rocks. What a great dad son moment. My dad cut open dozens of rocks for me when I was young. I am 67 and he is gone now but remembering those times still makes me smile

[@jannettaktibbs7268]

I'm in oregon. I had an Uncle that actually made agate butterflies from agates like you have. They were beautiful. He made a coffee table and placed some of the most beautiful agates and crystal geodes in resin. It weighed a ton, but as kids my brother and I used to pick out our favorites. My Uncle had industrial sized tumblers in his basement. My family of origin were mostly rock hounders. My Dad said I was a hound from birth. He used to tell me that I picked up rocks amd used to make him carry them in his pockets. My beloved late husband indulged me in my rock obsession. I have 2 china hutches filled with rocks I've found on camping trips and day hunts. I don't have China, I don't care for China, but I adore rocks. Geodes are the state of Oregon rock. I love walking the beaches in Oregon and Washington and picking up agates and other ocean tumbled rocks. These you cut were great. Look into turning some of those super banded agates into butterflies. Would be incredible. 😊🦋🦋🦋😊

[@larcher248]

Enjoyed this so much! God is an amazing creator who is still at work! Thanks, Bill, for sharing with us!

[@mariemoss2475]

This is why I love Agates so much, the deep reds, browns, yellows ,and orange bands blows my mind. Who needs modern art when nature can be so much better ❤❤❤❤

[@aqua1082]

Im watching with eyes wide open. Finally got my friend to watch your videos! I think he binge watched them👍👊. Now when he comes with me, when I'm looking for fossils and native stuff, his eyes are peeled for agates and every 2 mins he says Taylor said to..... 😆. Taylor said what!John!!! Hey, John look the 🌞 out, go way over there so you can follow the sun, Taylor says you can see them best when the suns out, John. Miigwech to you he found his first Lake Superior agate last week and together we found about 5 other kinds of agates. Do you need a helper or someone to carry your pack, because I'll be happy to send him your way 😆. As always Miigwech for the awesomeness you bring and putting up with my trying to put a smile on everyone's face. Hope you and yours didn't have to deal with all the heat and humidity like we did down here. Always stay safe and happy hounding!

[@AgateDad]

Love this :)

[@MicheleRuiz-h3j]

These are really cool agates! They are all different! Even the rocks you cut open weren't too bad either🩵🩵

[@glenn5903]

Thank you Bill and Tyler !!

[@Mn-Az]

Looking forward to the vid! Anyone here have any suggestions on a camping excursion location? Heading out tomorrow and looking for a River or creek/stream similar to the ones featured in these videos that can be camped at overnight… looking for something within 3 hours drive from Minneapolis.

[@aqua1082]

I know you can camp in Rice County for free on hwy 3 in Dundas, right in-between Northfield and Faribault. It's called the Cannon River Wilderness Area. They have pretty good amenities for being a free place to camp. Its pretty big. The straight river runs threw it, tons of agates are found on this river. Tons of parks along the way if your only thinking about driving around. The plus also, is that you can canoe that river with tons of stops on the way. We also have hell's tunnel and the old asylum that people love to visit if your into spooky places. Heads up if this sounds like a place you would consider then get off the freeway in Northfield for the that campground. Faribault exits are under construction so lots of back ups on the freeway.

[@BeccaBeeMe]

Thanks Bill!! Thanks Agate Dad!! 💞

[@sandmaker]

Yippi! Cut, cut, cut.

[@marmaclerran6268]

Thank you Bill what fun to see your rocks cut open!!!!!!

[@CanvasJules]

Wow! Bill, you certainly found some beauties. It was a joy watching their reveal. Makes me want to get on a plane and search there with you. Stay safe! ~Jules

[@gracewashburn8276]

Well thank you Bill for sending such beautiful rocks but I get dad to open up. I really enjoyed them. I love the banding and a lot of them and that last one all the colors on the Patton was just so unique.

[@dawnminard218]

Agate dad they all are beautiful since I started following your page because I have always loved rocks matter of fact and high school science was the only class that I did good in I mean I've always liked rocks but really never paid attention to a lot of the agates I have literally passed up I don't know how many of them now I'm more aware of rocks around me and of course I cannot walk past without picking it up and looking at it I have literally learned so much more about rocks than I did before I have quite a few rocks I have found and they are all beautiful in their own way but there are a couple I found out in my backyard that it literally blows my mind how pretty they are thank you for sharing your experience and you cutting open Mother Nature's beautiful rocks

[@katrinalodge6055]

Thanks Bill ❤😂

[@janellenelson1734]

After looking at that large, last rock for a LONG TIME, I am shocked by what's inside! That's only a small sampling of Bill's collection. He and I have gone rock picking in some fun places!

[@Trashslayer76]

Sure have!😊

[@kristinelezer9312]

Thanks, Bill

[@teristeinborn4872]

Okay, so this was very enlightening! I’m only just recently getting into beach stones. I live on Lake Michigan in Michigan City, Indiana but I’ve never seen any stones that large! I’m not even sure where to look. I think we need to take the boat out to a section of the beach where it’s completely isolated. At least now I know what to look for. I’ve found several rocks that are very interesting but I don’t own any lapidary equipment. However, I have a friend who just opened a rock store. I’m sure she must have one… right? I am a metalsmith so this is a totally new path I’m on. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in this area! I’ll definitely keep watching and looking for new stuff from you! Oh! ….and don’t forget to drink that delicious looking chocolate shake! 😋 … yummm

[@Kosijustpiedyou]

Bill!!!❤

[@patriciamckean4186]

Thanks Bill for sharing your finds and allowing Taylor to cut and reveal. I also love the little rockhound sharing his rocks to be cut and shared. Plus you received a m ilk shake for all your effort 😊

[@bobsalterorsouthwestsaltah4959]

Great Video !!! Thanks Bill for the awesome rocks to cut !!! Doing some tumbling right now for my granddaughter’s….. can’t wait to advance to the saw too !!! Keep up the great stuff !!! Bob in Arizona.

[@patrickpuzzo416]

Thanks Bill for sending those agates for cutting. There are some really awesome agates there. And to top off, 19:26 a front row seat. A nice hot chocolate to boot! What more can we ask for!

[@lesleyhiggin475]

I’ve only just discovered your rock collecting videos and I’m facinated by it. I’d never have guessed that hidden in some of these stones the beauty they conceal!!!

[@merrigalebeddoes1921]

thanks, bill 😊

[@JulesTools23]

Ty Bill! Ty Agate Dad! Just stand alone art work, each and every one 🌻. I wanna milkshake! 🐝

Hey Bill you got some pretty stuff there. Those last two almost looked like hybrid agate/ jaspers. Really unique. Makes pretty jewelry.

[@luckyotter623]

I just love watching your videos so much. Thank you! Such beautiful stones. Nature is amazing. Oh, I just noticed - at 18:48 I can see a sheep's face in the upper part of the agate.
