I want to hunt with you one of these days! Are you familiar with Sunny Valley/Wolf Creek area?

[@leannaerickson9745]

I hear ya, sister! Mostly due to COVID-19, I had to wait 3 years for a hip replacement, which finally happened Nov. '22. That went very well, ut the rest of my body seems to be rapidly falling apart. Fortunately, over many years I collected (probably) a ton of rocks at the Claif. beaches near where I live. I Placedthem outdoors around my garden and house and enjoyed them like old friends that way. I started watching rockhounds on KZbin around the time of my hip replacement, learned a lot, and realized that I could rockhound in my very own yard, even though I'm not as mobile as I used to be. 🪨🪴🪨🏡🪨🐦🪨

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Doest that area have vibrant jaspers! The scenery there is beautiful! The raven "kaw-ing" was magical. Brings back such spiritual memories. I've felt the most alive during excursions like this... when having that quiet moment in nature.

I fully agree. I cant wait for winter so I can get back to some of these spots. The smoke has been brutal lately so I havnt been able to go to all the spots I want. Thanks for watching and hope to hear from you again ^^

I recently moved to medford, and started a fencing business. I have been digging holes for a solar array were I found these cool rocks in the moutians off of butte falls highway. Rocks never really interested me before but really trying to find what it could be. Glad I could find someone knowledgeable of the rocks in my area.

The Klamaths have some of the oldest “rocks” on earth. They and the Blues and Hells Canyon in Eastern Oregon have never been buried by the lava or river ocean deposits of the last 15,000 years. Then right up against them are areas where ancient lakes deposited and of course the stuff from lava flows and volcanic eruptions. Have fun!!

I always check you tube for rockhounds in Oregon, and I saw your video Rockhounding near Medford Oregon and I was truly amazed at what you found on Worthington Road. My mom lives in Medford and my father-in law lives in Grants Pass now I know where to go to get some Agates, Petrified wood and Jasper when I go to visit them. I always did my rock hounding for Carnelian Agates in Lebanon and Sweet home Oregon. My wife and I and a friend dug some Carnelian Agates in Lebanon and we dug up a 15 pound and a 35-pound Carnelian Agate. We also dug some Roger Mountain Petrified Wood in Scio Oregon. Now that I was amazed at what you found on Worthington Road sight I want to go there. You truly found some great specimens there. I recently retired and now I have all the time to go hunting agates, Pet wood and Agatized Jasper. Thank you also for letting your viewers know where to go. Some people out there don't disclose their honey holes because that's their spot to go. Keep them videos coming. I must ask you though, can people still go looking for the pet wood, jasper and agates off of Worthington Road where you were at these days. Can you give me a close location as to how far to go down Worthington Road to go rock hounding, is there a mile post marker to your rock hounding location, like how far to go? I greatly appreciate your video and hope one day we can meet up. William

[@TheRogueRockhound]

I greatly appreciate your support and Worthington/Obenchain are still very much open for collecting. If you look at how Worthington/Obenchain connect you'll see there is a great deal of productive area but specifically, Ive been telling people to go to the yellow gate on the left hand side of Worthington and park. 200yrds up and you'll be in jasper thick. Go up 200yrds and to the left 200yrds and you'll be in Pet Wood country (big stuff). Up 200yrds and to the right 200yrds, will start showing signs of agate/crystals. I've got plans to do a meet up out there or set some pins on my GPS to share but haven't gotten that done yet. Chat with you again soon and appreciate all your support.

Just found your channel. When I was 5 years old about 50 years ago. My family and I went somewhere up by Table Rock area I think. What I remember that a dam was going to be built and put the area under water. We went to hunt for Quartz Crystals; and they were everywhere. Some how my Mon and I got separated from the rest of family. Well my Dad and oldest brother started to whistle. So we started to walk through the forest towards the them. As we were making are way I look to my left and under a pine tree there were 7-9 giant Quartz Crystals septers sticking out of the ground. We went iver to them and tried to get them out, but couldn't move them. I thiught I could out my feet at the bottom and hands on top and just pull it out of the ground. My Mon said ket head to family still whistling and yelling at this time. When we found them we told them about Crystals and tried locating them for about 1 hour...but never did.....I have never forgotten that day. I would estimate the ine I tried pulling out was about 12-14" and about 6-8" in diameter.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

WHOA!! I would have been jumping up and down!! HAHA! Sounds like I need to explore that area more eh

We just returned from Worthington Rd. Many have been prospecting this area. It’s covered now with ground cover so finding the good stuff is a challenge. The road itself is steep and very rocky. It’s 2 miles to get to the very top so do go off road and look. We found the hike to be a good workout. Now is a good time to go. We didn’t bring home any thing worth bragging about. We could hear rocks getting beat telling us that the big stuff is in the ground. If your in great shape and have all day and cool weather then go, but don’t expect to find big stuff. Most of it has been taken or is in the ground.

It's an ongoing issue haha ^^

[@khymchristensen1237]

Do you ever do group meet ups or single meet ups to explore areas? I've been to Medford a few times exploring and am looking for a certain spot that is supposed to exist over there according to a really old report I read years ago? 🤔

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Hi and thanks! I have never done any meetups or singles meetups but have had a number of people ask. I'm working on something and hope to have that sorted soon. As for the location around Medford, I've probably been there. Maybe I can help you find what you're looking for. Message me via Instagram, Facebook, or email and I'll see what I can help you with ^^

[@awakenchange]

what sort of a backpack do you use for your collecting and what pick do you carry? thanks! :)

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Sorry for the late reply. I mostly use a backpack from the military surplus store because of the durability and molly anchors. As for pick, usually just the estwing chipping hammer. The location I am going predominately determines the gear I bring and I will be making a vid soon going through my different kits. Look forward to chatting w/ you again soon.

[@amyperazzo6287]

Thanks for your time. I know a place FULL of white agit cristals. Let me know if you'd like to see that place. It's nice!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Sounds great! and thanks, I appreciate your support

[@collenemeeks5212]

I haven't seen any videos lately. Are you still doing them? Hope all is well.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Im working on a new one now ^^

[@collenemeeks5212]

I must have missed this reply and had sent another one out today but glad to know your still working on videos. I have enjoyed them.

What is the blue, Blue Chalcedony ?

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Yes sir and thanks for watching

[@oregonrainflower4051]

Exactly what area or trail is this? I looked for a map down below but did not find it.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Worthington rd. trail head. The description below the video (and above the comments) has the coordinates. If you cant find them, let me know and i'll give you a link ^^ Thanks for watching and If you'd like to help support the channel and see new spots to rockhound, please consider sharing the channel with your friends. Take care, stay dry, and keep hounding!

[@raykemry954]

I have always wondered why there is so many chips and no real big chunks up there

[@TheRogueRockhound]

B/c they are underground ^^ Thanks for watching!!

How come your green looks blue to me?

[@TheRogueRockhound]

IDK but both are great colors for rocks ^^

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Nice stuff and plentiful too. We might be coming up your way soon. Could do a collab if you're still game?

[@TheAdventureCloset]

All that green jasper on the way out! Dang!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

@@TheAdventureCloset Thanks for coming by and I would love to go and and find some shiny rocks with you two, just let me know when you're in my neck of the woods and we can hang out.

[@TheAdventureCloset]

@@TheRogueRockhound Sounds good! We'll give you some notice.

[@aaronbaca]

OMG if it was a snake it would have bit you. You missed it and it pains me to say. Totally not your fault, but I would pay closer attention. Once you see it, you will never be the same. Enjoy never looking at rocks the same way again and congratulations on being one with muddah naycha. You are magnetite. - Hound Dawg Baca

I must be getting old and losing my eyesight lol Thanks HDB, much appreciated

[@bryanbyrd1584]

I would like to caution you and anyone else who finds their way up to the top of that Hill. There's a mountain lion up there who likes to stalk people.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Thanks for the heads up and thanks for watching!

I prefer raw over tumbled as they loose some of their health and magical benefits.

[@tristabeers8223]

Well it was a good spot.... Not Now that everyone knows about it....🙄😮‍💨

[@TheRogueRockhound]

I prefer sharing.

[@sedg03]

You keep grabbing peices of jasp.agate. the edges are so jagged n sharp. Are the edges like that from fire? Or is that just how the rocks are out there?

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Both but mostly the fire. Jasper can get super sharp if cleaved correctly

[@sedg03]

@@TheRogueRockhound huh. I was unaware. TY for responding. I am amateur collector, u.p. wisc, mich, mont, . Spent months in oregon- loved it. Zero rock collecting... go figure. Makes me want to go back, tho.. watching you ;) See a lotta jasper n jaspagate too. But i always found very rounded edges - just rounded rocks. Maybe from the water? So, i was just so surprised to see you keep picking up the sharp edged rocks! Thanx!
