Found STUNNING AGATES on a Flooded River | Montana Rockhounding Petrified Wood, Agate, and Jasper

[@AgateAngler]

Thanks for watching everyone! Keep your eyes peeled for the Giveaway winners announcement. Should be sometime this weekend! Have a great weekend!

Ok my love From Brasil

[@AgateAngler]

Thank you! I'm going to check out your channel later today!

[@jeffhanks3222]

Thanks Agate Angler. Im down here in Utah, sometimes I make trips to Wyoming and Montana. Thats a stunning river....I missed the location, what River did you find those beauties?

[@quinn2090]

You should look for gold in that area I saw a lot of it and you missed it by a little

[@tictackit]

I thought the stones were gorgeous but when u showed yourself... my heart beat 💗

[@kristicourtney8099]

You had me the minute you saved the fish!

[@AgateAngler]

I'm so glad! Thanks for watching. Glad I noticed those little guys, hopefully they made it.

You have to watch your videos in slow motion, and when you do, you’ll know why I was yelling at you all throughout this video. Boy oh boy, so many treasures you missed. Lovely finds though. I got agate fever now.

[@southernfriedheathen994]

Can't take home the entire beach! ...or can you?🤔

[@debbietroyer9480]

Agreed! And even some beautiful stones that might not have been anything with a fancy name, but were SO pretty! I think they’d be awesome for the tumbler.

[@Fishkut_RL]

These littles tumble up really nicely!!!

[@birdofprayer2870]

Like many of the previous comments, the fish rescue made me immediately know I'm in the right place. I appreciate that you're not just ripping, roaring, and greedily taking the all pretty things, like some of the other rock channels, but genuinely appreciated and showing care of your environment. Thank you, it's a peaceful joy to watch!

[@AgateAngler]

I really appreciate the genuine comment. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@nataliekidd3744]

My 7 year old gets jealous of all the agates you find and just said he wants to go where you are!

[@AgateAngler]

Haha! Well I can't blame him, we're lucky to find some pretty neat stuff on the Yellowstone. Perhaps a roadtrip is in order?

[@Liza-rs6cr]

[@ShoonitStSinta]

came for the agates, stayed for the fish rescue

[@AgateAngler]

Thanks for coming along!

[@janus1936]

Oh my gosh! A channel that focuses on finding gems (without being clickbait-y), has a dog, AND is a kind and compassionate person?? WOW! I'm a complete beginner in terms of rockhounding (planning on getting a tumbler for Christmas, looking for agate) and I could not find this channel at a better time!

[@robertthiry9712]

Rock hound and outdoorsman here.I appreciated the fish saves!

[@AgateAngler]

Thanks for watching Robert! I was glad that I was able to save the fish.

[@GermanGemcutter]

Many of these agates hide their true beauty within. When you've sawed them open, you'll see beautiful patterns and colors. I opened some that a friend of mine collected in Germany. You get curious and very excited, because it feels like opening a gift from Mother Nature. 👍Thumbs up for your fish rescue💪

[@lunchboxmccarty6431]

I know that feeling.... Light rain making the rock hunting a visual feast.... I love rock hounding in the drizzle and, besides the rain making the rocks easier to "see" I think cloud cover makes the colors more vivid...Bright sunhine tends to wash the colors out IMPO. Anyway great video... Your doing a great job. You are correct, you should stop second guessing yourself. Oh and dont worrying about coming off like a goob or dork... Anyone watching this video is a rock loving ground gazer and, what you're doing, is why they are watching!! Besides your adorable!! Happy Hunting!!

[@psi_rockin]

I don't know much of anything about rocks, gemstones, crystals, etc- on a whim I just wanted to look up what people find, and I can find anything in my backyard. This is so incredibly wholesome and now I've subscribed. I also asked my dad about getting a rock tumbler, and he said he's got a friend trying to give one away so great coincidence!

[@RobWenzel84]

I still cant get over how much petrified wood you find there, one of these days I need to get over there, Another awsome video Thank You Alex & Kip

[@AgateAngler]

There is so much of it on the Yellowstone. Thanks for watching Rob!

[@sharonbendtsen3421]

You should hunt with agate dad. You guys are so much alike. I love how you both just love rocks not just the big ones looking to sell but appreciate the beauty of the rock

[@AgateAngler]

I definitely would love to hunt with Agate Dad at some point. I'm not terribly far from MN and lake superior so I'll probably have to take a little mini vacation to there at some point.

[@amyseeks2228]

OMG, where has this channel been?!?! Other people who have a hard time looking up when walking along a river or in the rain :) Yay!!!

[@AgateAngler]

This channel is just slowly growing, but it is so fun to meet new subscribers and talk rocks. What do you look for in your region?

[@amyseeks2228]

Around here i keep my eyes peeled for arrowheads, meteorites, nice chunks of quartz, fossils and minerals. Just outside my house i can find some lovely olivine. But when i travel it is anything that catches my eye. A friend of mine once flew me to a remote beach in Alaska that was agate city! Wish i could remember the name of that beach. I havent been out looking for a while so your vids are super therapeutic! :) Thanks for making them!

[@saphire8947]

I honestly wish I could do this!! I would probably spend the whole day just looking for treasure!

[@AgateAngler]

It is addicting for sure!

[@eddahbrahim5414]

hi

[@sedg03]

Just start by going where fill dirt is dumped or where tgeres a stream or a crop field? And just stand there or kneel? And just llok at the rocks. You want to train your eyes to look for a rock that stands put as.. different. And that's how you start...

[@Augkiyoo]

I’ve been starting to collect rocks, but i know nothing about them i just see one that looks cool and pick it up, so it hurt me every time you would spot one and i would see another one that looked very pretty but you never picked it up. I also want to expand and learn more about rocks and how to spot out the good ones

[@AgateAngler]

Good for you! It's not about finding certain particular rocks (At least not for me), but rather focus on what brings you enjoyment.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

I was the same way! What about that green one! And that red one! Lol....I would have just taken a shovel😊

[@Augkiyoo]

Deborah Danhauer yes! I would have done the same and just take a shovel and a big backpack 😂👍🏻

[@SouthernOntarioSasquatch]

So love everything in this video! The rain, the frogs, the swallows.....the gorgeous and diverse variety of agates you found.....Kip's joyful energy....and the beautiful, wet stones along the Yellowstone. Just wow...thank you Alex! Such an oasis of wildlife and peacefulness and beauty. So happy for your finds, and I look forward to seeing what you do with them moving forward. Take care! LeeAnn

[@AgateAngler]

Wow, I'm just so flattered by your generous compliments! It is my pleasure to share this little beautiful corner of the world and I'm so glad that you enjoy it.

I have this video please help me to identify the rocks and stone kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6PRcn2NjLKVppY

[@tedhiggins9821]

You want bands. Come to the Cheyenne river in South Dakota. Most expensive agates in the world. Colors you've never seen in an agate. Fairburn agates.

[@AgateAngler]

Ted! It is on my list!

[@robertthiry9712]

Yep, while out fossil hunting I never pass up a rock pile. I've found Fairburn agates as far south and west as Harrison, Nebraska.

[@briannagiles1428]

No way. Iris agate are by far the most expensive agate

[@thereviewer36]

We are from Billings and live near senior high school! So happy to support a local KZbinr!!! We also love rock hunting. I have so many agates.

The beauty in rocks is amazing. I would never be able to find them as you are, but when polished, I can identify some of them. And rainy days can be quite beautiful and peaceful. Thank you too for saving the fish.

[@AgateAngler]

Hi Bonnie! My pleasure! So Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for watching.

I've only watched this and the "what rockhounding dreams are made of" video but I love your channel already! You've got a great attitude, you seem respectful and appreciate of the environment you're in, and your dog looks so happy to be out there with you.

Maaan ,what a wonderful video! Your cheerful mood there rubs off on the viewers:) Awesome finds and so many. These blueish agates are so pretty and banding on that little one is awesome. Thanks for taking us along.

Thanks so much for your supportive comment! I do my best to share my true personality with you guys and it's starting to come through a little bit as time goes on. Thanks for watching!

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Such a beautiful spot for hunting and such beautiful little finds. The small ones do seem to compete with the big ones by showing amazing details. The colors in the petrified wood are amazing too! How fun for Kip to be able to run with complete joy! I love watching dogs do that. I'll be looking forward to seeing your tumbled rocks. Take care, I hope the class work and job are going well. Thank you for a great video!

[@AgateAngler]

Kip was an absolute nut that afternoon! I think he'd been a little bummed about all the rain and didn't think we'd go do anything so he had a lot of energy to spend. Thanks for watching and for your wonderful amazing support!

[@maverickstclare3756]

Seeing all the non-agate rocks that would have been in my bucket :) great finds for you, keep on inspiring

My kids were pissed when I told them it's time for bed and they couldn't finish watching all of your videos today, school, they can watch more tomorrow. They keep saying that they want to watch the rock videos with Kip. What amazing agates today. Not too many river beds with rocks in my area, so we are getting some waders so we can get to the rocks in the middle of the river. Thanks for sharing this, really inspiring me and my family to enjoy nature!

Thanks for saving the little fishies! It seems to be agate, jasper, petrified wood heaven there, it must be amazing to live nearby. Love the Kipster! I wonder if that could be fossilized coral? Wet dog is not a bad smell, hehe!

[@AgateAngler]

I was glad to save those little guys. They are in for a big crazy ride as the flows have nearly doubled since the time of that video. I was wondering about coral as I know it can be found here. I might share it on a facebook page for Rock ID and see if anyone knows.

[@cynergy4]

@@AgateAngler What FB page is that? I could use help with some I.D. on rocks too! As for saving the fish, you remind me of "The Starthrower" story. A story very close to my heart

I feel so incredibly happy, that there are others just like me. There is nothing in this world more peaceful to me, than just watching the ground beneath me, scanning the areas for visible treasures. It's a long standing joke amongst my friends and family. Don't let Sara wander for rocks, and will disappear for 3 hours, unprepared so every possible place to put.... HUNDREDS of these GIFTS! Cheers!

[@milkyekkoc304]

Your video made me so excited. It’s not because of the agate you found. My eyes keep moving with your lens. Every time I find that you missed a lot of complete agates and didn’t take them, you just picked up a small piece next to it. In front of the screen, I was more nervous than watching a football game, and yelled: "There is...the left side...then that...why didn't you see it?!" The feeling like the team I like was scored by the opponent Ball up.
