Identify Rocks Quickly and Easily at the Oregon Coast

Identify Rocks Quickly and Easily at the Oregon Coast
In this video we help you Identify rocks more quickly.
On our recent trip to Lincoln city we found some interesting rocks and agates, that we put together in this video along with tips on geology and Identifying what they are. All to help you learn to ID an agate or rock more quickly and accurately. Rocks and Agates are so much more interesting as you get to know what kind of rock you have and some geology about it. It just makes your love of being a rockhound that much deeper.
We also give you our location to help give you a starting place and times of year to make your rockhounding trip to the Oregon Coast more successful.

I like the identification and arrow thing u did. It is so helpful and informative!

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

Thank you for taking your time to let us know. We're always striving to help! Happy new year 🎉

@@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969 well it inspired me to drive up to short beach but it was way too windy I managed to get a few, I may email you guys cuz I'm a bit confused on identifying 1 or 2.

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

Ah Short beach is fun one, if you don't mind the stairs...lol by all means you can email us, we'll help. Do your research first and if you get stuck, send us a high resolution, in good light picture. Show us wet & dry please 🙏 Be well

[@EBY5801]

Thanks for the great little video! We live in Utah but travel to the Oregon Coast every summer. We love to find cool rocks on the beach, and our garden at home is full of our great finds! I really appreciate your identification of the rocks you found, because we have many of the same types and it is so fun to know what they are! I want to start learning more and be able to identify more of the rocks we find. We’ve been to that beach at Roads End, about 20 yrs ago when my husband and I were first married. We used to always stay at Neskowin, just north of there. For the last five years, we’ve gone south down to Brookings, so we can enjoy the Redwoods as well. There are always tons of cool rocks on the beach south of Brookings town where the Winchuck river meets the ocean. I love that rock you showed right at the end, with that sparkly crust! I’d make a necklace out of that one!

[@andu4384]

You've made my day 😊

I would of grabbed all the same rocks you guys did, actually! Love them jaspers! That hag stone was awesome! And I would love to see an opal in that shell for sure! Seajay found an awesome sunset jasper (I think she called it?) Great video guys 😁 And that looks like an amazing beach to go rockhounding or just strolling down and enjoying the serenity.

I really enjoyed this video, especially since I am always unsure whether I identified a rock correctly or not!

Hi Nicky Jul, we're so glad to help and that you enjoyed 😊 the vid. Thanks for taking the time to comment 😊

Thanks for this very informative video!! Rock Your World rock shop!! Same shopping center as the big pink Xmas Store! The owner is awesome and very knowledgeable, just like you two!!

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

Your welcome and thanks for the compliment 😀😊🙏

[@jennifergaines3320]

I always learn so much from you guys! How do you clean calcite crust from fossilized shells?

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

Hi Jennifer 👋 and thank you! It's tricky using any kind of solvent to remove calcite from shells because shells have a form of calcite in them. Use a dremel type tool (gently) to reveal and then polish them. Check out Karen's channel at Ozone Fine Art-Ventures. She has done several fossil shell reveal and then polishes them.

[@nicolelitschauer5767]

Iron out Walmart sells it for about ten to 13$ one cup per gallon read up on it. It's acid knarly stuff good luck

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

Oh we're savvy to Iron out and use it often but thanks for the tip on Wallyworld, getting it cheaper helps our budget.

[@trillstina]

I live in clackamas oregon would love to get help learning to identify my stones if you guys are ever in the area

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

Hi 👋 our email is in the description. If you have a few you're struggling with to ID, then send us a (high resolution in good lighting wet & dry) picture, and we'd be glad to help 😊

[@stellaweaver9038]

I'm so new to this, but I live on the mendocino coast of California. I saw greyish/greenish rocks that were banded or streaked with red. Looked very interesting wet, but not dry. I'm not sure what it is. Would that most likely be granite?

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

Hi Stella and welcome to our channel 😀 Our email is in the description. Send us a hi resolution in good light picture of your rock, front/back, both wet/dry and we'll help you ID your new find. Nearly impossible from a simple description. Have a good day 😊 💛

[@RagnarRocks]

The beach kills me because I want to take so much home and regret it every time. I really have to limit myself to agates, haha.

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Lol very understandable

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

I really understand that one...lol We both literally have to do a "rock check" before we load up the car 🚗 and still we end up bringing to many home...lol

[@denareeves6417]

Hi my name is Dena .those rock's you guys find are so cool have you guys been to Indiana to look for some rocks and how do you easy identify rocks and agates and do you guys have Facebook page I can send a friend request?

[@gatchrocks]

I guess I find a lot of the milky quartz with ryolite. Like a snowball with an orange peel? I like the smaller pieces too, a lot of them on the beach have cool patterns in them.

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

Well, depending on where you live, milky quartz may be the local stone. I know when I first started trying to identify the rocks I was finding, it seemed all the "agates" I was finding was quartzite or "sugar quarz". I looked into the geology & found a massive glacier had brought it down from Canada. I knew there were agates & clear quartz in the area because I & others had found several. I got to talking to a local couple of rockhounds. One of them gave me a lot of advice, advice I pass on in our videos. The best piece of advice he gave me was to "agatize" my eyes, train them to see what I was looking for. After that, the agates just seemed to jump out!

[@gatchrocks]

@@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969 I'm on oregon coast when I find them. I'm not great at identification, but they seem like the sugar agates I see people talk about, but it's always hard to tell since a lot of photos I find are of angular mountain rough rather than water-smooth rough. I lot of the orange and white ones are ball shaped, while some are various colors, opaque, but seem like translucent covering. I find smaller agates, but I know these aren't agates, largely because there are too many for people to be leaving big agates around. lol. I've yet to tumble any of them.

[@gatchrocks]

@@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969 what I think are the sugar agates or whatever though, are similar to those milky quartz/rhyolite, some pure milky, some pure orangish, and some layered as shown in your video.

[@gatchrocks]

@@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969 I should say also, that I found the video very helpful for the rocks i'm finding in the oregon coast area.

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

There are a lot of sugar agates at the Oregon coast .. that being said, there are a lot of agates at the coast also. I tend to agate hunt no further north than Oceanside. Most of the beaches north of that tend to be mostly sugar. My favorite beaches ... Oceanside, Short Beach, Lincoln City, south of Newport, Yachats, Bob Creek wayside, Strawberry Hill, Beverly Beach, Neptune Wayside to name a few..

[@user-lumberjill]

I just watched the episode where you were on the green river in washington. It was my first time watching your videos and im hooked. I laughed my butt off when you nearly lost your britches. I have came in with pants at my knees and my shirt past my boobs so rock ladden. You guys are kool. Keep on rocking. Rocks are so awesome. When no ones left to speak, the rocks will. Peace out

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

LOL 😆, I was a couple feet from her when that happened and I almost peed my pants laughing 😃 Sounds like you've had a similar funny or two. Only rockhounds would understand...lol Be well and welcome to our channel 😊
