This has got to be one of my favourite hounds of late. Gotta say a massive thank you to @paul the rockhound (Pauly) kzbin.info/door/swTRdSFqdh69iWdfMfrutw for supplying the kayaks. Thanks big dog! And thanks to all of you for watching. I hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did. See you all soon and mega much love!

Cheeeeeers Karen!

[@woodlandalien9113]

Awesome! Glad it was a good turnout! Some of those rocks are real beauties, such a colourful area. Seems like a few other people have found that spot recently, but luckily it’s still relatively untouched compared to just round the bend. The downside of this spot is that the best time to creek fossick is after flooding, but that spot needs time for water levels to settle before it’s even possible to get a kayak up against the currents. So it’s good to see you made it in there before the flood season kicks into gear, even if it meant you had to drag the kayaks a little 😂

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

That carnelian You found in the dirt tho Rookie- THAT was the best. I LOVE rocks that have so much simultaneously going on at once. I believe it's far more interesting to look at if there are lots of details that take a while to see all of. That piece of thunderegg toward the end- Wow. Such a fantastic place you get to live! I hope someday I get to see it. 😍 These viedos always bring me such joy...

We will see how it pans out over the next month.

[@mellowsnail4534]

Random question but how to you find these creeks, rivers, etc

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

So it’s usually through looking up mineral locations on forums or books or even googling rockhounding/fossicking and then your general area. Once you get a spot that has it you can learn about why it has it there and learn more about the creek and explore further in other areas to see if you can find even better, lesser known creeks. But always be sure to know the laws etc.
