I was just door dashing and stumbled upon a gravel pit today. Found 4 nice chunky agates! I wish I had a bigger saw lmao, I think mines 5in and the agates are far larger than that diameter :')

[@AgateDad]

Nice finds!

[@misstricksee]

I'd say that was a successful agate hounding day! That last cut one is a beauty. I love the little pocket with the orange spray around it, in the quarts!!

[@time_for_stones]

Thats cool 👍👍👍

[@gwendolenshepard9124]

Every time I watch, I think that slabs of some of these stones would make cool mosaics. I think some of the quartz heavy ones would make awesome abstract 'stained' glass window pieces.

[@mmgwife]

The one with the fracture that you shot down at 7:11 is just georgous! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[@avanelletheclockfriend2515]

Reminds me of a century egg

[@jazzychazzy007]

Always love your videos, not only the thrill of discovering what beauty lies within, but also your absolute pleasure in the process. We all enjoy!

[@MLyonArt]

I come for the agates, I stay for the way you pronounce the word because it reminds me of my childhood. (Born in western NY and moved to AZ when I was 9.)

[@maggiesfarm7970]

Northern Illinois here. I'm in Idaho now. I love hearing him "aygate" too!

[@janetwright1607]

Chicagoland here…honestly I was soconfused when I first started watching, but I’m hooked now!

[@erlersherdersher1518]

I was just at stoney point and canal park yesterday rock picking-i found out that dog saliva works better than human spit (more glossy sheen)! Happy hunting!

[@ryantesch5345]

You’re awesome dude. I’m from St. Cloud and find tons of agates. But the size of the agates you continually pick blows my mind

[@darleneyoung6436]

I really enjoy seeing the beauty inside the agates.

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

All those were big! You really have a good eye finding agates! 😊

[@AgateDad]

Thank you 🤗

[@pammccarthy7776]

Thank you for taking on this adventure! It was awesome!

[@toddyoung1845]

I would love to watch a video of how these Agates are formed with your voice narrating and explaining it. Your joy for the beauty of a rock makes me a better person.

[@GailSchneider-lj6wn]

I liked the fall colors in the one you said was nothing (agate wise). A polished slab might make a nice autumn necklace

[@candykay2585]

Your videos are relaxing and exciting at the same time.

[@alishadarsey]

Thank you for sharing the beautiful finds. ❤❤❤

[@sandmaker]

Cut, cut, cut. Somedays peanuts somedays hulls. They are all more beautiful cut. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamieparsons6413]

I have watched almost all of your videos, and I can not believe how huge these are on the side of the road !! 😮

[@helgavoorneveld1530]

This is my favourite format find and cut in 1 video!! I watch a lot of rockhounds who says that's a good cutter but often you never get to see the cuts and I'm always disappointed so thank you so much for satisfying my curiosity 🥰🤩😍

[@SandyFielding-cl4dc]

OH MY GOODNESS! SO BEAUTIFUL! Enjoyed the adventure. Enjoy watching. Stay safe and God bless

[@lori6911]

If you had made the cut closer to the window, would there have been more banding and less quartz? with how the window looks and how the quartz expanded where you cut, suggests what I'm thinking. Would you consider making a second cut closer to the window? this is where my curiosity takes me with this one. I love watching your channel.

[@ScarletsDawn]

I hope you polished the first two. They didn't have bands but the coloring was beautiful and reminds me of landscapes

[@gabcaves-ts7cy]

some really great finds! even the bandless ones are soooooooo pretty. 11/10 always immaculate vibes man ✌️

[@captainchaos3530]

I would love to go rock hunting with you! You get so excited as do I and sometimes it's not easy to find someone who shares in it to go with!

[@JaybeeandSally]

When you open them, they look like butterflies. So excited every time you cut one open beautiful just beautiful.

[@mamm7223]

I love the last one! It is absolutely gorgeous!

[@TheLoonlady]

SPECTACULAR ! What great finds.....I sure wish they used natural gravel around here but they use crushed concrete from road replacement .... WOW! so glad you found those beauties.

[@bjwalters8385]

I think these videos where you cut some of your personal finds are some of my favorites.

[@AgateDad]

I’m glad!

[@hangonzales6196]

I always go crazy watching you cur those rocks open. It's so exciting.... it's just like watching miracle is happening...who could have thought there's such beauty inside those rough and rugged things 😊

[@lisaerickson6533]

Your videos are sheer joy, always uplifting. Thank you!

[@bernadettecrawford3656]

Hi love the agates im from uk living in perth. I love scotish agates too thanks for sharing

[@leannaerickson9745]

Side of the road? Hmmm...🤔 No rubber boots, no runaway waves, no scoop... 👍😄 It's a winner. Thanks for sharing the fun.🤗

[@nancyhainline2517]

Well, you cured me of agate hunting with the snake photo.....erk.

[@sherriesteele-petty2998]

😂

[@madelynl.5351]

32 HOURS!!! Can’t wait!

[@OregonTrailLife]

When I go to garage/estate sales I look at the peoples rocks. Have found some nice agates, thunder eggs. Petrified wood, obsidian. So much fun.

[@Akangmukti]

wow, I'm happy to see your video, natural stones are so beautiful, greetings, I'm also one of those who like natural stones, greetings, I'm from Indonesia

[@karlahall9058]

My favorite was the first one. Call me boring, but I love the way the stone looks like it's melting over the quarts. And the other stones are still really pretty 😊

[@kellyhollingsworth6100]

I think with the ones you don't cut you should make a waterfall display, the constant water flow would show off them bands. Nice hunt, have a great weekend.

[@judyhobday4760]

That was fun to watch. I find agates on the beach here in Oregon. I don't know how they get the colors and bands. Always a mystery.

[@Angela_Newburn]

Awesome finds! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@SandyFielding-cl4dc]

So beautiful that they are mind blowing! I love to rock hound and can't wait to see more😁🥰

[@StacyOlson-xp4bs]

Thank you so much for sharing your videos! I really enjoy them!

[@AgateDad]

Glad you like them!

[@calebdillman8462]

I'm an electrician at a new construction site and that's where I'm finding agates atm. I find some on Lake Michigan but not as nice so far as Lake Superior Agates

[@paulabrandt3922]

Incredible finds. I even loved the ones w/o bands.

[@Ellieskitchen]

I think you had a better hunt along the side of the road vs in the water 😀. Exciting rock find!

[@melodyfaith7712]

Thanks!

[@ClassicRock76]

I've been an agate hunter on and off for a very long time. You found more large Superior agates in one outing than I've found my whole life. I need to rub your horseshoe! Happy for you though.

[@gemstonejudy5900]

You, Sir, are an agate- magnet! Awesome finds!😍

[@TaneKarnes]

You've got a great location. These are all a bit bigger than usual. 😃

[@dawnwilkinson8717]

It sounded as if you were at the side of a busy road collecting those agates. Thank you for sharing some impressive rocks.

[@janeceeastwood8035]

What a bunch of great finds!

[@hbjon]

The fractured one had a nice sunset pattern. Top shelf!

[@galloping3265]

I am waiting with the notify me setting! I love this channel.

[@AgateDad]

I’m glad!

[@helgavoorneveld1530]

Some of those are so big!! Compared to the ones you usually find 😳😁🤤😍

[@AgateDad]

Yeah it would be nice to find bigger things more frequently

[@simadey8092]

Thank you 🙏🏻😊

[@sherrybriggs5459]

Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@patriciamckean4186]

Waxy goodness! Gorgeous rocks....

[@pattijareo7423]

What fun!! Love it! 😍

[@Objective-Observer]

I would suggest you go ahead and slab the Meh stones, and turn them into Light Catchers. Such as covers for night lights, or fashion them so they hang in a window, so the light shines through them. I WOULDN'T polish these slabs, because the whole point is: the light shining through them.

[@makkyd123]

moss agates... I like them. I like to face polish stones like this - it keeps the weight and exposes the bands, as well as the natural character.

[@lindaglover3321]

I knew there were some! And it was waiting for you

[@darlamccowan1856]

Good morning from hot and sunny central CA.

[@Sunnybrook-16]

Wow I should pull over and check the sides of the roads myself❤❤

[@NaamanGoode]

I did not see you select the specimen that picked at 2:55 in the video as being selected to saw. May I suggest that you polish it in a triangular shape or a pyramid? Let me know the outcome!!

[@vtx2023]

loved the snek also

[@jasonsummit1885]

The stuff I find in landscaping rocks here in Washington state is usually orbicular jasper. Really well defined orbs and not to many cracks.

[@kiram8027]

Aw, poor noodle-neck in the beginning is just trying to bask in the sun! Don't hate on snakes 🥺

[@AgateDad]

Nasty things

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@JamesLovesRocks329]

I love the orange one with the banding

[@amberandrews6842]

Epic finds!!!

[@donaldgeorge3717]

I am so happy for you.Guess i know where my next vacation will be.

[@dyannejohnson6184]

In one place in western Canada I found about 3 tons of agot 1lb to 200 lb…..talk about sweeting back packing most of them the 200 pound one took me 15 hrs to clear a path and pull it along on a grain shovel…

[@johnpearson935]

Hello from Clear Lake WI!

[@robertheuer7670]

i find small ones in the river rock at work by the picnic table

[@chrissiejundt9867]

Marvelous finds

[@chrissiejundt9867]

Quick question do you have a rock Tumblr?

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Big agates! I hope you go back. Thank you.

[@E.o.t.4637]

Did you find those in a parking lot? Beautiful pieces for sure!

[@AgateDad]

Nope!

[@wendylerue8217]

Here in Nova S Ottawa w e have some of the best Agate beaches on the Bay of Fundy examples Scott's Bay

[@charitys.3862]

I thought it was today, darn!!❤😅

[@MrVonDutchman]

I love the fractured one, it gives the rock character :D

[@Mr.misdemeanor]

I usually find gravel pits on the side of the road, gotta respect the first one out to the pit, The Stanky Stanky pittttt. Even if you don't have "permission" thanks for sharing!

[@simadey8092]

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Togoheyhatiro1337]

I would live there on the side of the road! I would dig everything around! )))

[@audraacklin9826]

Those are pretty! The ones here in Arkansas are so drab, brown and not pretty at all. 💕

[@jayburkhart1781]

that second one, it looked like the water lines were painted on. they look to perfect

[@JoshSand-bl3wi]

So the one you cut opened up at 8:28 what was it? Was it an agate?

[@cassandrapua5970]

Amazing agates ❤

[@tambramccauley2132]

beautiful stones

[@Zbcountyboy]

Literally just got into Duluth. I’m heading to grand portage any spots to stop on the way???

[@JimFry]

Not sure where you are located but finding LSAs like that is wild!

[@kylepohl1081]

I don't know if you can tell me but I am a huge agate fan and I am trying to find good hunting grounds where do you go up by lake superior

[@willlinke2849]

Wow what a crazy spot you were on holy crap

[@SaltJamie]

I love the Quartz kitty cat shape in the first rock...

[@rtf7812]

"There's a big part of me that doesn't want to cut it." Yes! Go with that.

[@michellericard4850]

I have some 5+lbs Fernley Agates. I'd love to see what they'd look like cut in half

[@argentinacruz5978]

Love 😮❤

[@argentinacruz5978]

Think sou match👍

[@dirtbiker18]

What road? 👀 These are awesome!

[@raystevens687]

That was cool 😎 I appreciate that.

[@kevindevine6780]

Do you ever tumble before cutting ? That might bring out some hidden details.

[@gcegubbels4734]

I love the red one bud i am to far for i am from hollandday are all nice

[@TheRealBambihooves]

I love your back-of-the-throat growl 😅

[@nicolevancoevorden8723]
