That is the type of rockhounding I enjoy, finding areas less rockhounded and just having a wander.

New subscriber, thanks for taking us along on your adventures. My rockhounding is limited to landscape gravel. I do have another place where I hunt since I am about an hour and a half away from geode hunting areas. Rather spooky running across that car!

The Ochocos definitely have some great rocks. I found about a 50 pound agate just walking up a wash. It's extremely fractured and might be highly agatized wood but hard to tell. It does make a great porch ornament. I have been tempted to bust it up now that I have a 10 inch saw but at the same time don't want to ruin it. It's too big for any saw in my area and would probably fall apart from fractures.

some really nice finds. Looked almost too easy. That car I would have been looking for other tire tracks and checked the woods for a sign of someone in a bad way. The thing I would have done different is shut off my engine and lock the truck. I wouldn't be happy if someone jumped in it and drove off while I was looking around.
@itslattice41958 ай бұрын
Yeah in retrospect there are several things I would have done differently. My own safety didn't even cross my mind at the time. Glad I didn't get ambushed. I did call it in to law enforcement. Waiting to hear any news on the situation. The rockhounding looks easy but it's actually a tough spot. Steep to get in. Once over the steep parts, all the dead fall and loose rock make it tricky footing. Worth it though! Thanks for watching.

Find any cool bones or antlers? I LOVE the nodule and bigger one that looks like coral with live moss growing out of it. I'd buy that if I saw it in the store. I still can't get over the fact everywhere you breathe, there are awesome rocks. I was going to suggest that you throw an old toothbrush in your bag to clean up the rocks a little.

Maybe stolen and dealer plates put on there to blend in. There are a lot of cars in the area with the kendall tags.

Authorities were called. No news came of it. Likely stolen or broken down. I did my due diligence. Waited a while to make sure the car was truly abandoned before calling authorities to notify them. My first impression was someone was at the creek cleaning up after an upset tummy. Or maybe having a bit of a spirit quest in the forest. Did not look like a violent crime scene.
