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.

[@user-jx9qv5in9l]

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!

[@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

Thanks Bill!! Thanks Agate Dad!! 💞

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

Thank you Bill for sharing you interesting finds!!!

[@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. 😊🦋🦋🦋😊

[@linda5120]

Those are so beautiful 💕💗

[@AgateDad]

They are!

[@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.

[@lizlaine9319]

Thanks Bill, those were some beauties 😍

[@leuserstoneschannel]

[@glenn5903]

That red orange red was gorgeous!!!😊

[@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]

[@selenehenry3040]

There was some amazing finds he sent you. I would jave such a hard time send some of those back. Id be like how much do you want for that last one Bill. But then, there was so many amazing ones, i would have hard time choosing just one. But the last was a good choice to do last. That is gorgous.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!!!

[@JeffWeymier]

Beautiful agates. Great video.

[@chrissiejundt9867]
