We went to Brian’s Head last fall when I first started rockhounding and I went a little crazy with the amount of material I took home! I tumbled a lot of it ( and I’m still tumbling some 😆) and it turned out beautiful :). But, I agree. I took too much of it and now it sits in tubs in my garage. I would rather now find a few unique and awesome specimens than buckets full of material. Thanks for the video…it brought back memories of that beautiful area! 😁

I went elk shed hunting where I live in Utah and I brought home buckets and buckets of agates to tumble. A year and a half later I'm still tumbling it. I found a huge 20 foot wide vein in the rock cliff and I loaded as much as I could. And I was picky about what I took! Lol I bought a cheap wet tile saw with a 6" diamond blade for $40 to cut it all up from Lowes! I thought it was funny because just the blades were around $60.

Love that spot. Found it last year. I live in Pleasant Grove Utah. I like to build walls and pathways with rocks. I called this jasper, the red white and blue were amazing. It was raining when I collected And I was right down in the stream. These specimens don’t work as well in my building but still fun to get a few. Gave some to neighbor kids. I use quartzite a lot for my walls. And fill cracks with river rocks and polished rocks. I Use gorilla construction adhesive and concrete.

utah rockhound here, and I've always wondered why I can't get that white layer off my agates too haha; I always thought it was calcite but it's not! I always end up cutting it off or tumbling it away. But man, you got me pumped to go out here with the family and check out these massive agates. I've collected hundreds of mossy plume stuff from all over the state, but have not been here yet surprisingly! I gotta get a big one for the yard now, haha. Love the channel man, keep it up.

We were wearing shorts as we were in Mesquite NV. 😂 The trail was still under a few feet of snow but we went to a lower elevation and found a few pieces of agate. A lot of fun and adventure! Thx

Wow Jared, a mountain of rock candy, that is awesome. You have found some nice pieces there and it will be interesting to see how the look cut and then polished. I tend to agree with your comments about how much you take. So far I haven’t had to worry about that problem. The only thing I found in bulk has been some petrified wood about 18Kg of it, when I visited a location with my wife & grandson. I should have been a lot more picky as at least a third of it is a bit deteriorated. Only some it is good enough cut. Live & Learn. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin

It's a fun location, even to just walk around and look and giant immoveable agates. For us I think sticking with the small 7 gallon tote bin is a good amount to take for us. With as often as we go rockhounding I think that's more than enough material from a location and more often its not even half full.

I liked reading all the comments on this video. Especially the slo mo with the hair and you wearing a wig 🤣 I can't believe the size of that monster agate, so many different colors and hues on just that one piece. Also, I picked up a book on zeolites. Not the one you've been showing. Amazon had it listed for like 150 bucks or something saying was only one left, little too rich for my blood, lol. But, the book I grabbed is very good and informative. I see there are many varieties there in Washington. Sadly, only one in my area seems to be Thomsonite. Anywho, loved the video. By the time I get done watching all your guys excursions into Utah, I'll be selling my house and moving there 🤣

Nice video man! I’ve been to Brian Head peak multiple times to snowboard but I never knew that there was such incredible and massive agates practically (or literally) right under my feet lol. So rad! Did you go septarian nodule hunting while you were down there? If not I’d highly recommend it for next time. The quality of the septarian around Zion area is exceptional. Me and my brother had really good luck in Ordervill a couple years ago, we ended up digging for hours but man was it worth it! Finding any hollow septarian nodule is the best feeling ever! We went back once and didn’t have any luck, that’s the thing about digging from a wall, you just don’t know what you’ll get. Supposedly you can find them easily if you know what your doing but the chances of finding a geode septarian is always really rare.

Great video again, those agates are indescribably bea-Utah-ful! Your friend thinks like I do. Wheels carrying weight. I actually modified an old Golf Cart to carry a bucket filled with rocks so I didn't have to! There is an untold story about Bryan's Head. From the South Rim of the Grand Canyon at 7,000 feet to Brian's Head at 11,312 there is over 4,300 feet of uninterrupted Sedimentary Deposits. And people stand at the rim of the Grand Canyon and marvel at the erosion. The real story is where did all of the material from the South Rim to Brian's Head go and how was it eroded in "sheets" leaving mesas, massive plateaus, etc...

Could the white crust possibly by gypcrust? It would explain why it wouldn't dissolve in acid, but would be water soluble. It would also be very soft and be able to scratched off, so a simple test could confirm that.

First of all, WOW! Secondly, such an impressive spot with equally impressive material. I could spend a ton of time there. Thirdly, thanks for turning me on to a new agate I've never seen. I can just imagine cutting it. You should do a cutting video of this material for sure. Great episode!😎🍺👍👏
