The Spokane Rock Rollers Show 2024

This was an excellent show but also very busy and loud for a Friday morning, which is good for the club and vendors but less so for filming.
The cases were fantastic, there were some great vendors, killer deals, we got to see some old friends, meet some new ones, and I even bought a few things.
If you're watching this on the day of the video release, the show is still going on Saturday, March 23rd and 24th.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Big time fan of you and your sweet wife! Thanks for showcasing my family’s abalone cab case (the second one on your video) and our specimen case with my crab fossils and abalone dominoes I make 😍 I’d love to gift ya’ll a set of dominoes and a crab fossil too! My husband, and three teenage kiddos are rock rollers members.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

It was a great case! I would love to have a set of dominoes, but that looks like it takes so much time. I do think I will make myself a set someday! It's a great idea!

I went to the show today and it was 10 times bigger than I expected. It was overwhelming, in a mostly good way. I’m from Nevada so just being here was a fluke, but I will try to get back. And one unrelated question - does “Spokane” means land of speckled rocks in some native language?

[@margosaunders5705]

We got home just an hour ago from the show! A bit disappointed that there was so little rough and so much jewellery (Cdn spelling), but had a great time, fo course. The sale in Colville 2 weeks ago made a BIG dent in my stash of US$, tho!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

You gotta go on the first day for all the good deals on things at a show.

[@margosaunders5705]

@@CurrentlyRockhounding Understood. Many of the attendees echoed the same problem, and were disapointed as were we. Maybe the smaller shows are the ones to attend. Thanks!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

@@margosaunders5705I was there within the first opening hour on Friday and there were tons of rough as shown in this video. It's not the show's fault or the vendor's fault if people don't find great deals on the last day of a show.

[@margosaunders5705]

@@CurrentlyRockhounding Not laying any blame, just an observation. You are right, of course!

[@robertsnyder5149]

Hi there, "Digger Bob" here. I see you like Opal? I know where there is tons of it. I got access to the Eaton ranch between Ellensburg and Yakima There are forests of petrified wood there . I was working a job there to supply electric power to the top of a mountain on their property and while doing so found a piece of bright pink opal just laying on the ground. I gave it to Mrs. Eaton for a necklace. I looked around and could find no more so I think a bird dropped it there. Anyway, since I'm a gold miner and prospector too I have to tell you about another find I made. It was "lipstick red" opal. You know the color like women wore in the 1940's. I consider this extremely rare. I've never seen this anywhere before. Write me back for the location. Also I found some what I call "moonstone" opal along the right a way of the Burlington Northern railroad long the Yakima river just below Beates road off Hwy. 10. There were several veins of it but I ran out of time to dig deeper. I'm getting too old to do much hounding anymore so I'm willing to give out my secrets for others to enjoy.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Hello! It sounds like you're finding some really great material, and red opal is often very impressive! You can always email me and we can chat in private. [e-mail]
