[@colleenlinke4208]

That banded iron is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@judieahmed98]

I love watching your videos.

[@largent45]

Those are so freaking cool! And they were everywhere; and that stromatolite was amazing! And the banded iron was so amazing! And you found some amazing pieces! What an amazing trip! You and Kim got some awesome stuff!

[@francely1603]

I love Montana rock mom

[@gyvren]

You should get yourself a cheap, black bedsheet set up as a backdrop with a really good spotlight to showcase each piece for the video. It would help us all see the details and cuts much better AND it would probably help you get more views. Just my two cents. Cool rocks, man. 😉👍

[@alexm495]

I'll pitch in that a "daylight" bulb really lights things up for cameras, but-- it can add too much blue-- so some combo of daylight bulb and incandescent / halogen / warm LED bulb.. or edit the video to reduce the blue + make other adjustments is another idea..

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

Always something new to say “WOW” to and jaspers too, happy days.

[@judymarkel8029]

Oh my goodness.!!!! Colors and quartz and batriodles on my. Those were absolutely amazing. I cant wait to see what you do with them. WOW

[@donnabeaudin9114]

[@kastah]

I LOVED those multicolored, beutiful, can`t wait to see what you make of them

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

OMG ~ The last banded Iron looked like Pet. Wood, honestly.. So Many finds.. WOW..

[@Panicagq2]

Being from Western Oregon, banded iron is not something I get to see here - how gorgeous! When my wife and I went to Casper WY to visit her family, she hated the flatness and desolation and complained the entire time...I spent MY time picking up amazing new (to me) rocks from the road cuts and stream beds. I had a blast, but I also rarely looked up lol I had to buy a pair of cargo pants just for my walks.

[@edclaytor1873]

Nice finds hope to see some of the green jasper slabs in your Esty store.

[@Rocktwister]

Wow the banded iron looked purple on my screen! Can't wait to see you polish them!

[@AliceinMineralLand]

First, I appreciate your use of the word "scuttle". Second I have some incredible banded iron on my claim if you want me to send you some! Fun finds, beautiful shots, thanks a bunch!

[@denniswheeler2645]

My favorite is Montana Rock Mom. 😊

[@wyomingadventures]

I bet you found the last spot close to Boysen reservoir. Great finds Theo! I love Wyoming BIF. Thanks for sharing.

[@patriciamckean4186]

Omg....those colors are so nice. That hematite is my favorite. I would make some large cabochons ovals and marquis. Supercalaflagulistic!!!

[@patscnr]

Banded iron was my favorite.

[@anniegironne8444]

Impressive that banded iron, can't wait to see the polished result

[@cynergy4]

Killer finds! My faves would be the one with the little crystal pocket and those amazing stromatolites 😍

[@aleta5873]

Wonder...ful pieces !

[@derekclement7323]

Wish I new you two was coming here , I could've met up and showed you guys some awesome spots. I even have a crystal spot I could've taken you. I have some videos of it on here.

[@cynthiadugan858]

Love that banded iron❤ sometimes when I see amazing stuff, my mind wants to stitch it together with other things I love. In this case, I instantly saw a trinket box with the lid inlaid in a mosaic of banded iron and various colors of tiger eye.

[@janvafa9959]

Oh my yes! Makers challenge!!! Where the viewers name the challenge!

[@veronicasilbaugh-pf4oo]

Love the Banded Iron! I did not know they could be so beautiful and am now on a mission to cut and polish some up!

[@nicolejones58]

Loving this series of adventures! Wahoo! 😁😎

[@melindakeith4103]

Great video, Theo. What beautiful rocks!

[@mikebloodsworth140]

Those are some beautiful finds.........you should journey South a little more often. ;)

[@skiduech]

Awesome! We are in utah and have always wanted to explore WY

[@JnVrockhounding]

Great! Something else I can’t find where I am that I now want! Thanks Theo😐😂😂 awesome video bud.

[@JnVrockhounding]

I want a slab off the big one. Pretty please.

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Wow!!! Very beautiful finds! 😊

[@donnalantz7981]

Such amazing finds. All so beautiful. Can't wait to see what you do with some of them.

[@wyearthtreasures]

We have a lot of jasper and banded iron in Wyoming.

[@leisa2054]

Hello from Alabama

[@helenak.5762]

Beautiful, all of them! Would love to see what you make with the banded iron.

[@japedrasbrilhantes5465]

Ola sou do Brasil e meu hobby é pedras, seus vídeos são bem legais, estou inscrito e aprendendo com seu conteúdo.

[@reportedstolen3603]

Great finds! I wish I could send you some rocks 😭😂

[@chitran5068]

Nó thật sự là tuyệt vời

[@michaelbearss371]

Awesome finds!! How do you find places like that? Michigan's upper peninsula has some cool banded iron too, that ive found.

[@zowiewilliams1097]

Theo's fortification count this week is 15 I'm pretty sure you used the word 15 times. It's not a bad thing though keep up the great work I love your content.

[@MrTurtleMontana]

17 according to the transcript...

[@sandmaker]

It was your birthday present.😊

[@jforce91]

That thar looks like rattlesnake counry mhmm!!

[@debramaertens893]

Love the banded iron too! How hard would it be to carve it? Seems like it could make some beautiful carvings.

[@janvafa9959]

Uhh it’s Iron… so very hard!

[@timothyholloway9574]

I can't wait to slice a pile of mine . I'm selling a boat to get a saw 😂 I have your answer to seeking better hematite swirls. If you want a great trip next year for banded jasper and add in some more rare gem stones we have in my stomping ground. Hit me up . But as support to you for what you do. Not inviting everyone else on your Chanel 😊.

[@raundupuis3134]

Howdy neighbour, (I wish) gettin' stones are we?

[@littleeagle22]

Is that a dead critter at 6:44?

[@janvafa9959]

Nope… dried grass/cactus…

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

What do you use to clean the algae?

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Soaking overnight in a dilute bleach solution will remove most organics.

[@jasonhenderson5642]

Hey Theo - I have been searching for a place to find banded iron in Wyoming. I am in Northern Utah. Any pointers?

[@shaungothwaite5092]

Where. In Wyoming are you?

[@empress6491]

Would the banded iron also be called iron tiger eye?

[@canadiangemstones7636]

There’s a spectacular mixture of tiger’s eye and bright red & black banded iron, called tiger iron, from Australia.

[@empress6491]

@@canadiangemstones7636 thanks, I bought some at a rock show and had never heard of it before and it looks just like what Theo was finding.

[@kyleesmith1131]

What part of Wyoming Is this

[@bunk9991]

I dont mean to be picky but Boytroidal? Rockhounds need to use the language properly. Its like neuculer and nuclear. Jus sayin! Great vid though!

[@savagesquirrel9828]

I know no one wants to give up private spots, but can you say where you are ? Wyoming is a big state…I’m guessing you are on BLM land. I understand if you don’t…truly.

[@janvafa9959]

Looked like the Wind River Canyon area…

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Nice stream@@janvafa9959

[@chrissettles4127]

Its awesome and beautiful but its against federal law to pick up rocks or arrowhead s in any public lands or parks including getting arrowheads out of creeks and rivers. And rocks and fossils. If it was not then all public places would be destroyed and empty. The rocks you take are technically mine and everyone elses that reads this.

[@stefaniecian]

You are NOT correct. I live in Casper, Wyoming... but, anybody can Google "Rockhounding Wyoming Laws" and the first thing that pops up is a direct quote from The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) official website. It reads as follows: "Rockhounding is recognized as a legitimate recreational pursuit on nearly all of the 18 million acres of public land in Wyoming. These public lands administered by the BLM are open to everyone to take limited amounts of rock material for noncommercial purposes without charge."

[@leehindman3375]

You are mistaken.
