First time seeing you. It was fun. Like watching a kid in a toy shop finding a favorite toy.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Thank you so much! It is like finding a new toy every time you get to rockhound for the pretties. Thanks you for watching, hope you're finding your toys too! Cheers!

[@dsims868]

I would be very pleased with that haul. I look forward to our next visit to HB. Thanks for the inspiration and showing everything cleaned up at the end. Enjoying your videos.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. HB can run hot and cold, that's for sure. It was a good day and we've definitely had worse, lol. Wishing you the best of luck for your next trip and thanks so much for watching, cheers!

Petrified wood!❤️

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Gotta love the petrified woods! Thanks for watching and joining us in the chat!

[@largent45]

There definitely times that i heard jarrod in your words and the excitement in your voice. Great finds! Hampton butte did not disappoint! Gorgeous finds! thanks for sharing!

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Oh wow, that is such a humbling thought about Jarrod. It's great to carry his memory through the jubilance in all that he would have enjoyed. Hampton disappointed twice before this trip so I guess some places you really need to give a fair chance/es to. It was such a fun time, we may go again before the year is over (even though it's frozen). Thanks for sharing your thoughts and hanging out in the chat. Cheers and stay warm!

[@JustMe-fk5uo]

Quality show, Thank You.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!

[@RodKrisBisdakMotovlog]

Wow absolutely awesome and amazing place to see my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Thank you very much! Going to have to check out some of your riding videos. Thanks for watching!

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Silica soup! I like that. 🤣 Beautiful pieces. You do such an awesome job on your vids Karen. That was really cool. Love that green.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

LOL, a few of those were thick and hearty Silica Stew. Thanks for your generous feedback, it's always fun to share the goods. That green is insane, I can see why folks go back for more. I'm glad I gave it a few chances. Thanks for watching!

[@alan_whoneedstiedye]

Great rocks.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Thank you, Hampton is a magical place with great material. Cheers!

[@jimyounie6274]

Great finds. Thanks for the adventure.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

I was really surprised this time, the Butte lived up to its legend for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@AliceinMineralLand]

Holy cow the wood at 9:00 & 11:00!!! Alright, Im sold. Road trip.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Oh, I hope you get a chance to go there! It's worth it and I hope that it doesn't take you a few trips to figure it out, like I did, lol. I so love pet wood, and this has been so legendary among local hounds, I was wondering what I was missing. Finally struck the goods and can't wait to go back. Maybe I'll see ya there! Thanks again for watching, cheers!

[@joshualeedy5271]

I left most big ones whole. They are such rare specimens of browns, purples and greens...amazing finds from an amazing place!

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

That seems smart! One good rule of thumb is to keep the big specimens without cutting until you find an even bigger one, lol. That place is so fun and so amazing, can't wait to go back. Thanks for watching!

[@juliemckenna514]

Beautiful stuff! I didn’t want you to stop cutting 🤩thanks for sharing❤️

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

That's so good to know, Julie! I always wonder if the video gets too long and boring if there's too much cutting, lol. To me, there can't be enough as well. I'll be doing some strictly cutting videos coming up since 'tis the season to be inside. Thanks again for watching!

[@BerserkerMetals]

She shoots & she SCORES! Incredible finds. Uh-Mazin. Love me some petrified wewd.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Finding like that makes digging so enjoyable! That place was so good that day. Petrified wood has to be around the top of my rockpile, all the good things; agate/jasper/quartz, beautiful rock/mineral specimens, fossil! Gotta love it, thanks for watching!

[@mehmetkupeli8611]

[@mysticalrockhoundingfossil5464]

Hi , Nice Big chunks ,nice colors . The light Jasper pieces the Peachy Agate and the Slabs beautiful !

[@michaelvandyke]

Love digging in that area for petwood... Nice video...

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

I'm a new convert, lol. I've seen everyone else's beautiful spoils from there and wondered what I was missing. One problem was that we were camping just to lay up on the way out farther east typically and didn't give it enough time. We can't wait to go back out since it's much closer than some of our other favorite haunts (like Succor, Graveyard, and the Owyhee). Thanks again for watching and happy hunting!

[@sfbfriend]

Very nice material, that green doesn't look like a copper green, Interesting. There is a lot about you that reminds me of my wife. All good. Thank you for the journey, it was definitely enjoyable

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

The incredible material comes out of there in a complete range of colors, pretty amazing. I read that the color comes from copper but I think there's chromium in the area as well? The sunstones are south of there and they display a pretty big range of valence on the copper as well. I need to do more research...and more digging, lol. Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@gregderksen1996]

Hey Mikey, he likes it! why yes, yes he does! spectacular finds Karen! most excellent narration too! the cuts weren’t too shabby either 😂. i definitely will be setting up camp out there one day soon. time to start banking some overtime lol!

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Of course Mikey, it's LIFE! lol. Thanks, Greg. I think you'd really enjoy a trip to this area. There are several cool spots in a short bit of driving, thanks mega volcanic activity! We did stumble upon some really cool material this time and I'm looking forward to going back sooner than later. Thanks for watching and hanging out in the chat! Cheers!

[@claudesarich6314]

What a beautiful haul of pet wood the colours are stunning. Thx for the share and rock on 🤘 👍

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Thanks, Claude! That's definitely why to go to that specific spot; those woods there are truly incredible! I guess sometimes it just takes a few tries to get to the goods. Thanks again for watching, cheers!

[@puliendopiedrasdecostarica]

Wow beautiful finds 👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Thanks so much! 👍

[@sandmaker]

Wowza! What a cool bunch of rocks. It appears Hampton Butte didn't disappoint. You wanted green petrified wood and you got it and sooooo much more. I loved all the jaspers aaannnndddd the cutting. You keep and deal in specimens so I guess a polished face would be good in lieu of cutting. Did I just say that? It tells you how mesmerizing the trip was. I was entranced or in a trance, I not sure which. Your trecks have been fun and it looks like you may have gotten a little recharged. Hi to the voice behind the camera and his great drone shots. Woof to your fur babies. Keep the fun and goodness coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒ 🌲🌴

[@ccvgems8754]

Oh, Karen! Shazam! 💥 That was an exciting adventure. 😮 Everything was stellar. I LOVED the lime green type piece. How cool. I’ve never seen a piece like that before. As for the yellow, crystal vuggy one, if it were me, I wouldn’t cut it. I adore all the character it already has. But, everyone’s eye for special, is unique to each person 🫶 The half round piece, I can see you polishing just a side to show off the inside or the trunk. I’m looking forward your winter projects. ❤ Stay Crystal 💫 Mari

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

I've never seen material like that before either! Crazy! The butte has risen to the top of locations I won't mind spending more time in. I agree about the crystal vug cast, I think it needs to be a specimen piece...that sits by my side for adoration, lol. I really love that chunk more than I thought I would. I'll probably cut the burl one, though, so intrigued to see what they look like inside! Good call on the big green wood, that's probably exactly what I'll do. Thanks for watching, Mari! Cheers!

[@keithcunningham7925]

Wow those are some good finds I love that stuff so much different colors 😍

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

My socks were blown right off! The colors, especially that green, really lived up to the legend. I think you just have to slow down and take your time there (which I couldn't afford time-wise on trips before). With some work, the spoils came. Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@blindsquirrelrocks]

Need to get out there to the Butte! What a trip!!

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Yes, totally check out the Butte! It's lovely, there's some real beauty both ancient and current there. Thanks for watching and hanging out in the chat!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Nah you can’t take time to look at it is my style 😂 that’s what the clean up is for. I like the double excitement… I also have way too many rocks now… that green piece is really cool!!! The agate find is super cool also. Your videos are so good Karen. Someday I’ll get there 😂 Rock on 💎👀💪🏼

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

With the kind of scores you make, especially at Haunted, I don't blame you for killing time trying to see what you've got on site. I was trying to peek just to see if I was on to what I thought I should be finding. Dirt is so dirty! It's even worse when it gets muddy, lol. So yeah, save it for the high powered hose. It was a good time, I hope you can get out here at some point and vice versa, I'd love to come kill it at some of the spots you go to. Cheers!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Breaking the log! Breaking the log! Hahaha, your videos are super entertaining. Just love that area. You found some excellent finds. Great video, Karen. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving 🙂

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Thanks so much. The area is sure redeemed. It's so beautiful there, I'd go even if there weren't treasures underground, but they are really incredible when you find them! Hope you had a great thanksgiving as well, we chilled like villains and it was very very good. Thanks again for watching, cheers!

[@HitTheStreets101]

Hi Karen, I’m seeing it, What!!! 08:48 fantastic find 🤗 11:23 No way, I bet you didn’t expect that 🎉 Great video 🙋‍♂️👍

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

There were so many surprises this time around. As I'd mentioned, I had tried this spot for short visits before and really didn't do that well. It's a good place to over night when going to farther reaches on the east side of our state. I know I won't be doing a fly by next time, I can't wait to spend some more time there. I did get eaten alive by bugs one time we stopped so I guess there's a season there as well. Thanks again for watching and cheers!

They fill in their holes to keep you out😁 still, it is a good sign.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

LOL, That's true too. Any filled holes make me happy as the unfilled ones seem to spur the powers that be into discussions of closing things down. Plus, I won't get at your mint chocolate chip petrified wood. Win win. Thanks for watching!

[@rocksinmypockets5191]

Great finds! I’m glad you got to go back and try again. I was out there sept 30th for the afternoon and scored a nice bucket of chonks. Did you venture far from the central camp area? Been wondering how far out we can go and still find wood. Is there a known border? Thanks for posting your adventures!

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

We were there VERY close to the same time! It was beautiful weather. I'm so happy we ventured back, it really redeemed the place from our first two visits. We were not at the camp area this time, which really helped, though close by. We have OnX so we made sure we knew where we needed to stay contained, don't want to get onto the wrong property. I don't know if there's a known border to the material bearing grounds but that area put aside is where everyone goes apparently. It sounds like you guys did great. Thanks for watching!

[@charlescarver2623]

Beautiful. I was wondering why in every rock cutting video I watch, no one cuts down center.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Interesting observation about the cuts. I would imagine it has a lot to do with what material you are working and what the lapidary wants to make from it. Down the center of great for thunder eggs while it would not show the best part if you were cutting petrified wood rounds. If one is thinking slabs, you start at one end hoping to slice the whole thing like a ham. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
