Finding AMAZING GEMSTONES On The Beach | ROCKHOUNDING The Bay of Fundy

The boys and I are looking for amazing gemstones on our favorite beach along the Bay of Fundy, right after tropical storm Elsa passed through, to see if any new rocks were overturned. I'd say there were because we found some amazing gemstones, agate, opal, jasper, amethyst just to name a few! Come join us on this epic rockhounding adventure to see what amazing treasures we find!

Wow, wow, WOW!!! Those are some absolutely stunning finds! I love how nature can turn up such beautiful treasures after a storm! My aunt is in Nova Scotia right now and I'm wishing I had been a stowaway! Thank you Jason, Chase, Nolan & Travis for another great video and for sharing your finds with us! Have a great weekend!!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!! This beach never disappoints!

[@AgateDad]

Thank you for showing that last piece!! My jaw legit dropped! 🤘🤘great hunt and great jokes haha 🐊

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks my friend! His jokes are getting slightly better.

[@RufotrisRootedRockhound]

The eagle was awesome!! Great video and nice finds! The porcelain agates are beautiful!!!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching!

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Wow! That last Scotch-egg agate is amazing. Your kids have the coolest dad…they will remember these days all their lives and likely do the same for any children they may have. Priceless.

[@RockhoundingLife]

If I could live long enough to see them bond with their kids doing what they love.......that would be really cool.

[@sandmaker]

Lots of beautiful stones. It looked like the boys had fun too. Thanks for sharing the hunt and the slices. Amazing! Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!!! They never complain to leave so that's a good sign!!

What a great rockhounding adventure that you boys had. The rocks collected are very beautiful.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks Em!!

[@robertmandigo7942]

Those are some awesome agates and jaspers. The waves sure turned over some beautiful finds, it's so hard to pick a favorite. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks so much! And thanks for watching!!

Hehehehe an investigator...and oh man those are so gorgeous I couldn't pick a favorite!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!! It's OK to like them all!!

[@scottpeters5624]

Awesome video,, great to see you out with the boys,, the find of the day looked like a nebula inside, very cool

[@RockhoundingLife]

I was saying the same thing! Looks like space nebula. Maybe I should rename it nebula agate!!

[@scottpeters5624]

@@RockhoundingLife nebula agate actually sounds a cool name 😁👍

[@kevinukena4444]

What amazing treasures! The beach and the rocks are beautiful. Being able to spend time there with your boys is priceless.

Wow, think this is my favorite video of all! What amazing finds. Loved it thanks for sharing!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Another great hunt. You guys find the best goodies. That last porcelain agate cut was just outstanding.😎

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks 👍 It was a nice surprise!

[@lisamariemacaloney869]

Good job guys, hope you are having a great summer!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!! It's been very busy!!

[@grantfahlman1815]

Wow, I guess you could say this is a situation where life's a beach; and a mighty fine one at that! You guys walked out of there with a pailful of finds of the day (hopefully some of those might be available for purchase). Thanks for making me wish I was on vacation... on a NS beach! ;-)

[@RockhoundingLife]

Some of these will likely be available in the near future 😉 Thanks for watching!

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Fantastic finds as always. The essence of the ocean in the video was peaceful. The sound of the water and foam against the rocks. I could smell the salty air, feel that mist, and just felt like I was at the coast again. Good video :)

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks Kyle! I always struggle with the decision of playing low background music or just leaving it so the sounds of nature are more in focus.

[@MACorrupt]

My son told me the same joke last week😂. Fantastic shot of the eagle and beautiful finds🤎

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! Nolan is into "dad jokes" lately. This one wasn't bad

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Nice video my friend!!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!!

Beautiful finds!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you!!

[@vitravegastarsystem5958]

It’s so nice your boys like to rock hound with you! What a lovely day and beautiful finds 🤩

[@RockhoundingLife]

They never get bored of rockhounding. I hope they never grow out of it!!

[@ikestoddard2458]

The chalcedony nodule at about 17:23 was outer space! The seam opal at 17:13 was spectacular. Finally the porcelain agate at 18:56 was amazing. Have you sold them? Dad to Dad (my boys are 27 and 33): your three will remember all their life all the rockhounding you have done together. Good for you!

[@RockhoundingLife]

I hope so!! Thanks for watching!

[@marilyngraham6199]

Hey. I have tons of these and would love to sell

[@gingermackeen5741]

Well I made my first comment before I saw the cuts and slices at the end. WOW 🤯😳

[@RockhoundingLife]

😊🙏

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Nice cycad Nolan! Boy you found some fantastic ones today. Loved that eagle taking flight 🦅

[@RockhoundingLife]

Nolan noticed the eagle and actually got much closer to it (20ft) before he actually noticed it. It freaked him out a little once he got an appreciation for how big it was. They don't have much fear of anything. Apex predators.

[@MarlainaAtkins]

@@RockhoundingLife they are amazing creatures. The bald eagle is our state bird. Every June at a certain spot every year there is a gathering of up to 50 + of them and people come from all over the world to film and witness it. It is such an amazing sight. Look up eagles gathering in Seabeck Washington... Never mind... Found it... Check this out! I counted 52 one year... This video shows this amazing event kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpm8pmmOlpuAla8

[@RockhoundingLife]

@@MarlainaAtkins We have the exact same thing here!! There is a spot that all the bald eagles go here in a place called Sheffield Mills NS. Is it a mating thing I wonder? kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2ezan99ltakY9E

[@gingermackeen5741]

So Elsa made it all the way up from me (near Tampa) to you! Wish it had done for shelling here what it did for rockhounding there! Great finds!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yep...we almost always get the same storms you do!!

[@terrydoucette6037]

The boys are developing a good eye for the stones ,can’t wait to get out again with the family

[@RockhoundingLife]

We'll have to plan another Lobster Hole trip soon!!

[@kylaabegglen1275]

I'm from Montana in the US. Your agates are out of this world! The banding on some is really mind blowing. Those porcelain agates are extra special, love the one Noland found and the one you cut at the end. The cycat with agates, wow those fortifications are so beautiful. Really amazing finds and great video. By the way, your boys are way too cute. Love the smiles and Noland's funny joke. 👍✌😎

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for watching from Montana! Montana is on my bucket list for sure (Yellowstone River). That porcelain agate at the end with the red in the middle is one of my favorite finds ever on this beach!

[@marilyngraham6199]

I have tons of these for sale if your interested

[@adventureswithgypsy6489]

Wow! Just started watching your channel. 😃 I've been collecting gems for many years, and have been recently researching types. Have you been to Moose Island??? I urge you to make a weekend camping trip there one day. Multiply the finds on five islands provincial park beach by a million! We've gone by foot, during extreme tides, and the water is ankle deep. There is a preferred way to cross to avoid muck to your knees😉

[@RockhoundingLife]

I was there years ago before my kids were born. I remember finding some nice zeolite specimens there. We went by boat. I wouldn't go there with the boys unless it was by boat.

[@adventureswithgypsy6489]

@@RockhoundingLife , makes sense for sure. It's alot of weight especially water. This year we found stillbite, agates, fire agates, amethyst, jade, some sort or interesting white jade with jasper lines? Yellow jasper, red jasper, .... a huge list of different types just on a weekend🥰

[@kolstee420]

Gonna head that way soon. I'm in Brookfield outside of Truro. I've been exploring the moose river area for river gold with some luck. The kids would love it where we go. Great finds and keep the great videos coming.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Nice! Do you have a mineral claim(s) in the Moose River area? Those would be tough to come by and very valuable!

[@nancywilson9380]

While I agree the one you chose for find of the day after the surprise inside but the seam agate at 17:15 made me stop the slide show to admire it! 🤩

[@RockhoundingLife]

Sometimes it's a bit harder determining what find of the day was. Good problem to.have I guess!! Thanks for watching!!

[@lyssaka1064]

Great finds!! I was there today before all the rain, found some great finds myself. Love watching your guys videos, keep up the great work!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Nice!!! That beach is great to rockhou d in the rain. Everything pops when it's wet!! Might have been too much rain today though!

[@justjulee9135]

When I make it to Nova Scotia I’m going to have you take me to the beach lol. Great finds as usual!

[@RockhoundingLife]

💯!!!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Porcelain agate? 🤔 I've never heard of that before.... I'll have to look that up😀 I love how dark the color is.

[@RockhoundingLife]

It's local terminology. Its essentially a plume agate with bits of opal included. People call it that because the color play of common opal white and the navy blue chalcedony reminds people of the old porcelain dishes from back in the day.

[@MarlainaAtkins]

@@RockhoundingLife gotcha! I can totally see that. That last one is totally the find of the day! Sa-weet!

[@acerone10]

WOW....what a haul. I'm surprised you can get boys that age to go with you. May I ask, what are their ages? 👍 to you.

[@RockhoundingLife]

They are 12, 11 & 8 The two oldest Nolan & Chase are always itching to go every chance we get. My youngest Travis doesn't come all the time. He has other interests that take priority.

[@petermaceachern4843]

I have been watching these video`s since last night, a fellow Nova Scotian here I was always interested in the agates and sea maggots growing up i would stop and pick up the "Special Rocks" along the way, now I do it with my son from time to time when we go to the beaches always looking down the that one that looks just right . I`m not to sure where to go hounding for the jaspers in my area in Cape Breton do you have any leads .My youngest son keeps looking over at the tv his name is also nolan lol

[@RockhoundingLife]

Best place if you aren't sure where to look is the beach. Usually things make there way there eventually, even if there isn't any host rock near by. I'm not all that familiar with Cape Breton rockhounding spots but my buddy Terry is and I'll ask him.

[@lynnscott8286]

Thank you for when you put on the screen what the rock is. I’m a newbie. Where do you live? That you find amazing rocks

[@RockhoundingLife]

Hi there! We live in Nova Scotia, Canada. Our main rockhounding spot is along the coast of the Bay of Fundy.

[@doctorofart]

The jasper opal agate you cut with the orange center. How do you think that formed? Please don’t tell me a gas pocket. The rock is completely differentiated. Can you imagine something glass like getting that hard and solid by slow cold infusion into a vug. That took heat to create. The heat equal to that of a forge or kiln or greater.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Not only heat...but pressure as well. The amount of heat and pressure dictates which minerals precipitate out of solution.

[@doctorofart]

@@RockhoundingLife according to the books. But it makes no sense to me. Agree to disagree. Those were under no pressure, in fact quite the opposite. Rock formation is dictated by heat, velocity, conditions surrounding the rock, their neighbors, and who they run into or across, collisions, cooling too fast, how deep the material was blown out from into free space, crystal habit, folding habit, and how it landed. Prove me wrong (:

[@doctorofart]

@@RockhoundingLife btw, incredible finds and I like how you followed the tide to have wet rocks to look at.

[@RockhoundingLife]

@@doctorofart Some rocks can't form without pressure. It's probably the most important variable. That and temp. When it comes to agates forming inside a basalt pocket it's very important. Concentric banding in an agate is achieved from the nodule being under immense pressure, so much so that gravity is defied. If no pressure then you see waterline banding where the fluid settled with gravity. There is a great video on KZbin explaining this concept that I think you would benefit from. It's by a channel called Georocknerd. I'll try to link it here for you.

[@RockhoundingLife]

@@doctorofart Here is the video I was mentioning. She explains the concept of agates forming under different pressures better than I can in this thread. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2HZZWmqnbp6i5I
