Glad you enjoyed, also just saw your invite from your comment on your last video. When I’m in that area I will definitely hit you up. 😁👍

Agreed, thanks for watching.

[@JnVrockhounding]

A lot of cool stuff. Love the clusters.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

20:27 That's NIIIIIIIIICE!

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Thanks, that’s my best find from that spot. I got to see some hematite amethyst from the main claim in the area which is super sick material. That’s all down stream though.

[@jodiejensen-feist9874]

@@RockHoundingAdventures I have family that moved last year to Baltimore maryland and plan on going there next year. Have you ever been out there rockhounding or have you heard of any places to go there?

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

@@vivid23d53 oh that’s cool, I’m sure that will be fun. I haven’t had the pleasure of hounding there yet. I have a few friend near there I can check with them and get back to you.

[@vivid23d53]

@@RockHoundingAdventures would appreciate it. Thank you have a nice day.🙂

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

@@vivid23d53 so what I’ve been able to find out so far is the area of Maryland contains more marine fossils then particular minerals for rock hounds. The best location to hunt for fossils is about 1.5-2hours south of Baltimore called Matoaka Beach Cottages. It’s privately owned but they do charge a small day pass for people wanting to park and go to the beach. The age of the Marine fossils and fossilized shark teach are from the Miocene Age which are between 20.03-5.333 million years old. The coordinates for that location is (38.4708, -76.4804). The second place just south of that location is called the Calvert Cliffs also on a beach for Marine Fossils. There are a few campgrounds in the area for parking day pass. I will keep doing some digging to see what else I can find for you. Hope your having a great day 😊🤙

Thanks man.trying get get enough material together for projects once the winter ❄️ season moves in.

[@therockpile6734]

Cool story for you. I am related to Nancy Hanks! Nancy Hanks is Abraham Lincoln's mother. She died when he was eight years old from drinking milk that was poisoned from the cows eating a toxic plant. Abraham's cousin Robert Hanks was the only extended family member to attend his funeral. Anyways, thank you for subscribing to my channel! Happy hunting 👍

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

That’s a cool backstory, I love history especially related to Abe. I used to live out in Elizabethtown KY where there was lots of history about him. Had a lot of fun learning about him.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

So many cool rocks EVERYWHERE in Colorado!!! I gotta get back out there some day! I love Colorado I'd visit even if there were NO cool rocks. It's been too long... Maybe next year... :)

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Yep there is.. I plan on getting out more deeper in the mountains next spring after the snow melts.

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

If you come out here next year let me know.. maybe we can meet up and find some cool rocks.

[@manisteerocks7092]

OMG the pocket at 15:40 is awesome!!.. I'd have a field day there!

[@manisteerocks7092]

Solo this is where all my fluorite came from!!!.. awesome!

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Lol I know. This is my favorite place to hunt in Colorado so far. Every time I return I find better specimens.

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

@@manisteerocks7092 yep it is

[@dreamweaver3095]

Hi Kurt! Going back and catching up on your videos. Those pieces look great! I would grab yourself an antler for those tight corners where you don't want to scratch the crystals ;) Keep adventuring for all of us who can't right now :)

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Thank you man, I took your advice and have a antler in my pack for next time. Thanks 🙏

[@savagesquirrel9828]

The finds seemed pretty angular and not too beat up. I hope you take a buddy and go upstream and up-wall and maybe find the source. Fun to watch...thanks.

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Agreed, the specimens are pretty nice. I’ve talked to the owner of the main claim in the area and the source is believed to be on private property otherwise I’d love to hunt for it.

[@ayeyouarizona8507]

That some really cool fluorites and amethyst stones Great video; thanks for the adventure Fluorite crystals are pretty hard to find in Arizona Keep on hounding and thanks for sharing

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Yeah I know, I used to live in Prescott a few years ago.

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Thanks for watching

[@cptchumknuckle]

Epic clusters! I love seeing all of my favorite rocks together like that.

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Oh yeah same here bro, definitely some of my favorites. I’m glad you enjoyed and thanks for the support. 👍🤙😊

[@GermanGemcutter]

Very nice finds👍 The green Fluorite have some really good colors. I particularly like that in combination with the delicate Amethyst color.

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Oh I know I love the ones with the deep green tone and the combos. The green Fluorite glow blue under a black I’ve light.

[@diggingappalachia954]

Nice amethyst, I can’t wait to get into the nice purple stuff, moving to South Carolina mostly for the amethyst & aquamarine

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

I wish I could finder some bigger specimens. I hope you find some of both, Rock On 🤘

[@diggingappalachia954]

Thanks & good luck in your hunting

[@NWRockExplorer]

Very nice finds!! I'll have to see if I can find some amethyst or bornite next season!! Those pieces with quartz on fluorite are really cool, I've never really seen a specimen like that.

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed. Maybe in the near future we can do a rock trade and I will send some of it to you.

[@NWRockExplorer]

@@RockHoundingAdventures That'd be cool, I still gotta find some better material to send though haha.

[@jbojm9]

Cool finds. Would love to have a spot like that close by.

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Thanks for watching. Oh And I know right. This spot is a little over an hour drive for me but it’s always worth going.

[@debbiemitchell6055]

Such a great place to go and find such beautiful minerals/gem stones/specimens. I hope you show us how they polish up. Thank you for taking us rock hunting and showing us what you found at the end.

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

I will definitely be doing a series when I start tumbling them and polishing in the next month or so. Once I can’t go on adventures due to the snow. I have already made a couple beautiful pendants I sold but there are pictures on my Instagram page of them. I’m glad you enjoined thanks for the support 🙏😊

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Is there any good stuff on the Colorado? Your channel is great! Keep it up.

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Actually on the Colorado River right now, finding some nice pink feldspar, jasper and agates.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Colorado is probably the best state for rockhounding in the continental USA!

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

@@dustinfindsrocks Colorado is pretty great. I also miss hunting in AZ, KY, and VT. Your neck of the woods looks like it would be fun to hunt and explore.

[@rocksdonteat6210]

I see no amethyst... 😀 I'm going to get a an Amazonite claim I guess. More in my area where I live. The grand mesa has a lots of stuff. But not the best stuff. 😈

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

🤣 That’s cool, I’ve been wanting to hunt some Amazonite. That was one of the minerals I was excited about when moving here. Maybe next spring/summer I can come hang out and go hunting together?

@@RockHoundingAdventures Oh nice.

[@thatgeekygamerguy7664]

Just started getting into rockhounding and live in GJ how do you know where to start digging?

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Hey bro, thanks for checking out my content. Welcome to the community. If you haven’t checked the Grand Junction Gem & Mineral club I highly recommend it. They have lots of useful equipment to use and great for information. You may also want to check out the RockHound Podcast channel here on KZbin.

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Forgot to answer the other question. So at Nancy Hanks Gulch where you dig is in a creek bed. Everything that is found there has been washed down stream when the creek is flowing. The source is from the mine shaft and dump piles that are all on Private land. If you plan on going to that location shoot me a email at [e-mail] and I’ll send you a map of generally where the private property is and where to go and where not to go. When digging in the creek I generally look for a bunch of tiny fluorite or amethyst crystals and that helps me determine where I should dig. If your not finding any of that don’t bother on digging. I hope this helps bro

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

That green Fluorite is really pretty stuff. How solid is it?

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

The larger chucks are pretty solid. The smaller ones can be a little bridle. Depending on how long all the snow sticks around here from last night I may try to find some more large chunks. They polish up really nice.
