Giant Oolitic Agate, Huge Multicolored Jasper and Petrified Driftwood: Rockhounding Central Oregon

Afternoon rockhunt with epic finds

[@mountainfamilymineralsandr182]

What a haul, looks like it was a great day for rocking and hanging with your son. Went hounding yesterday and came back with a nice petrified log. Thanks for sharing, keep rocking 👍

[@itslattice4195]

Yeah it just kept getting better and better! Glad you're getting out there and finding 'em too!

[@HangtownDave]

Impressive! Looking forward to seeing those cut! You guys really scored. Thanks for sharing the hunt!

[@itslattice4195]

Thanks for watching! I'll try to get some cut soon. I think I need a bigger saw!

[@tracerammo]

Holy shi......! Man, what a killer spot! Any recommendations for a rockhounding road trip? Ill be up in LaPine for two nights and would love to make it out to someplace like that!

[@itslattice4195]

The ochocos have a lot to offer. So does highway 20 east of Bend. Lots of hills to explore out there. All around Prineville reservoir there is opportunity. I usually just pick a block of BLM and go check it out.

[@Thracium]

Nice finds! Good Luck!

[@mitchgillilan]

You guys did real good! Love the jasper wood and limbcast! Great agates and crystals too. 👏 Nothing beats exploring the rock paradise that is Oregon 😊

[@itslattice4195]

Yeah it was a great day! Been rockhounding Oregon for 25 years and I'm not tired of it yet!

[@mitchgillilan]

@itslattice4195 that's a good chunk of time! I live on the west slope of cascades, been exploring over here for years. Once in a while I go out east/southeast of Prineville its really fun out there too. Too many great places in this state to explore in a lifetime. I hope I never get burned out on rockhounding, it's so fun!

[@kevinunger433]

Really nice one @4:20

[@Doug-xx3eh]

Please wash the dirty rocks off if you can. Like the ten pound agate.

[@itslattice4195]

Definitely. I'll try to get some cut soon so we can see what's in there!

[@kevinunger433]

Oh yea. @10:00

[@sherrybriggs5459]

You need to bring your son with you more often he brings good luck to you 😊

[@itslattice4195]

Plus he carries my heavy rocks! I wish our days off lined up more frequently.

[@sherrybriggs5459]

@@itslattice4195 Can't wait to see the cuts

[@jillclinton8866]

Do u guys do group rock hunts?

[@itslattice4195]

Thinking about something like that in the spring.

[@rachaelb9164]

Where is this at?

[@itslattice4195]

Crook County

[@glennmiller2494]

I live by cottage Grove Oregon I've found petrified wood in my creek that a beaver chewed on, now I need to find the beaver

[@itslattice4195]

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

Beautiful Creations you all have found

[@jimellis936]

Nice finds. Y'all need a mule to help you carry stuff out. Would have been nice to see your finds cleaned up at the end of the video. Maybe a cutting video latter on.

[@itslattice4195]

My son was saying we should do the reveal at the end too. Next time! I will clean these up and cut a few for another video.

[@realandroid8589]

dang, I'm going to have to make it to the area sometime this year. Got some good spots here near The Dalles but I'm not finding anything that big.

[@itslattice4195]

Come on down to Central O. Plenty of big ones to be found!

[@rosemaryspringer4239]

You are just going to have to take an alterain wagon with you to haul back all those rocks you keep leaving behind!

[@itslattice4195]

Sure would make the hike out easier!

[@jonathanrood3548]

Holy Crow you got 200 more subs in one hour when I refreshed the page.

[@itslattice4195]

I wish it changed that fast! Took about 3 weeks for 200

[@jonsdigs1]

At 11:30 it appears to be a large piece of agatised wood with a knot.

[@itslattice4195]

Probably is. Have to get it cleaned up and check it out.

[@jonsdigs1]

That big piece at 10:00 would cut a helluva sphere.

[@itslattice4195]

Yeah it would be perfect for a big sphere.

[@AnneRKey]

At 2:47, maybe fossil bone?

[@itslattice4195]

That was my first impression. It's so heavy though. Maybe a bone cast that filled with barite.

[@cynergy4]

Thanks for sharing such epic finds!

[@itslattice4195]

Thanks for joining in the adventure!

[@krawdadandrusty]

Wow! Amazing finds!

[@itslattice4195]

It was a great afternoon hunt!

[@johnhobbs7697]

Man what a banger spot😊

[@itslattice4195]

It keeps surprising me. Just never know what will turn up.

[@johnhobbs7697]

Hey Jay and Bodie😊

[@itslattice4195]

Howdy John!

[@jamesmarckette9295]

Maybe Barite?

[@itslattice4195]

That's exactly what I said about a smaller piece he found earlier. Heavy like Barite.

[@scottowens1535]

Right on...👍

[@itslattice4195]

Thanks!
