I Went Rockhounding Deep Into The Montana Mountains With Theo Kellison!

[@sandmaker]

I'm sure you had a great time hangin with Theo and all those georgious rocks. Thanks for sharing the beauty. Cut, cut, cut😊 ⚒😷👍

[@xjustapersonX]

Wowwww that baguette looking rock is amazingggg! I was the most excited to see what was inside and it did not disappoint 😱😍

[@shannel318]

Montana is so gorgeous! I want to go back! What a fun trip, the scenery shots made my day! You found some really cool examples in the stream, the wood will be beautiful polished as will the green one! You showed so much restraint in not collecting too much! 😀I always enjoy your videos and skills, thanks for sharing with us!!⚒😃👍

[@TheoKellison]

Gorgeous finds man!!! It was such a blast getting to hang out with you! I was so happy we got to sneak in one more hunt!(Even if i was hanging on by a thread🤣, it was certainly worth it!). Man i am so happy to see how nice that agatized wood turned out!!! That is SUCH a nice one!! The opalized wood out there is super strange, its not so much a 1:1 replacement like the agatized wood, its almost like a result of deterioration. The grain is very rarely still intact in the opalized stuff. Super strange material but absolutely gorgeous! Man it was a joy to get out with you! Already looking forward to the next time! Hopefully we can come to your neck of the woods next time 😁

You are alwaus welcome here anytime and we have lots of room for you to stay!

[@sandraanderson217]

WOW! That green is gorgeous! The last one looks like little black pine trees . They are all beautiful! ❤

[@Mike-br8vb]

Very cool seeing those monster pieces! I have an agate from Manitoba that looks almost identical to that last one! It has the little floater dendrites a plenty. Mark it off your bucket list, that must be a great feeling!

[@anniegironne8444]

I've been following Theo for a few years. It was nice to be introduced to a fellow canadian.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Awesome! Thanks for checking us out!

[@FiveStringCommando]

6:00 Looks like jade or gem serpentine

[@vickygoodwin9771]

Great that you were able to make it to Montana! To have a personal guide, awesome!

[@CacklingChick]

Incredible variety!! Leaving that pet log must've been hard (pun not intended!) to leave behind!! ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes it was!

[@joane.landers9151]

Green opalized stone is neat. Love the color.

[@amandahodgin9316]

Oh that green rock is so pretty. Theo needs to come visit you sometime. That would be really fun to see.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Im trying!

[@kellywion1464]

Cool hunt and rocks!

[@jonnsgirl]

Thanks so much Jason and Theo! Those are some beautiful specimens, what a great trip you had!

[@soul_adventurist]

Fun video! Montana gets ALL the rock action! 😂 Thanks for sharing your adventure ❤

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@gailengeman1220]

I wish I was there.❤

[@gregderksen1996]

Montana pet wood sure takes an amazing polish! Now I think you need to add a part two to the Montana rock hounding experience. Sapphires and crystals! Lol! Like you needed an excuse to go back some day hey Jason😂. Crystal park is a fun place to dig let me tell ya! I’m heading across the border on Wednesday to go “mine” some sapphire. Have a good one Jason!

[@RockhoundingLife]

That would be cool! Definitely next time!

[@csbridgemountain7972]

The Montana agat looks like a ghost ship in the fogg.

[@NickAcker2019]

What a special gift you and the other amazing creators of rockhounding/lapidary have given us. This is a world of beauty and respect that most of us never knew existed. I can't speak for everyone, but 11:11 THANK YOU so much for recording your extraordinary adventure!

[@steveegbert7429]

Gad you got to go hunt with Theo. I see you drove through Yellowstone too, beautiful place in the shoulder seasons with less people.

[@staceyroberts3468]

The green one!!!!!!! Wow!!!!

[@joane.landers9151]

On your 1st piece: green wood, if you cut thinner slabs, wonder what is hidden beyond. Thanks for sharing. Many years ago, 1st Stone I ever cut was Pure luck in how I cut it across the middle of the 2" wide x 2.5" long x 1" (approx.) stone x 5-6 mm thick stone with some dendrites that I thought were mosses gave me a Full realistic scene of mesa in foreground with mesquite on foreground rock; looking across valley w/ low shrubs to mountains in background with possible snow or brook in crevise between 2 mountains; sky & clouds above. Not imaginery, But realistic!! Back side of stone, similar but Not the same because of slab cut. Awesome piece; ground, sanded, polished both sides. Made fine silver bezel-setting around stone w/open slightly raised open-back setting, so if pin is raised so light penetrates thru stone, either side, that realistic picture is Clearly seen from either side. Never saw another piece of Montana "moss" agate like this one, ever. Just Beginner's Luck, I guess!!!. Still have it & occasionally wear it!

Glad u were able to go for work and still have fun rock hounding. I wish we had rocks like u guys have in Nova Scotia. I'm in Ontario Canada but we don't get much this way. I have to drive atleast 2 hours to find some decent fossils etc and Lake Huron has great rocks for us. I have Montana as a bucket list location too and Oregon. Great rocks and nice to see Theo and you hanging out!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! It was a fun trip.

Thanks for sharing your Montana trip and finds. Your videos are always so fine. I enjoy seeing my favorite rockhounds teaming up for adventures.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Glad you like them!

[@danhughes6373]

Great adventure! Keep up the great content! Do u do all the editing/soundtrack etc by yourself?

[@RockhoundingLife]

I do!

[@danhughes6373]

@@RockhoundingLife well, your taste in music is spot on. Good stuff

[@happykt]

I wouldn't have cut open that piece that looks like driftwood.

[@RockhoundingLife]

I only did because i have special plans for it in the furture and needed to see the inside.

[@Mummaearth]

that 2nd cut driftwood - i thought i could see letters within it !

[@georgemohr7532]

If you decide to make a large pendant out of the Montana agate, first dibbs.....please.

[@grandparocky]

Idaho is very much the same!

[@pretzel2272]

Amazing! First I thought I will see some beautiful rocks, but when you cut them open, I fell in love! 😍😍😍 (Btw, what happened to the third rock of your batch that you wanted to cut?)

[@RockhoundingLife]

I forgot to mention that I didnt end up cutting it. Was a unique shape and decided to leave it as is

[@pretzel2272]

@@RockhoundingLife Perfect! ❤ Thank you for the answer 😊

[@wendellchapin9034]

Theo what thin sintered blades do you recommend for cutting agate?

[@deniseview4253]

Will you be making cabs out of any of it? That green wood/jasper will make such a beautiful cab. Glad you enjoyed being in Montana. Montana is a state I want to rockhound in. Beautiful rocks.

[@RockhoundingLife]

That's the plan!

[@deniseview4253]

@@RockhoundingLife can’t wait to see! 😀

[@j.ericswede7084]

Thanks for taking us along. Was that "water footwear" you were wearing? Great to see the Mountains of Montana. We had a week there a few days ago.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes it was!

[@markrouse2416]

You sure about that 10 pound rule. In other states there is a total amount and a separate rule for single pieces.

[@RockhoundingLife]

I'm not sure. It's what Theo told me. And others seem to confirm.

[@heyimamaker]

9:13 looks like a small forest!

[@JimFry]

At 2:21 the more I watch the more I learn. I would not have IDed that as petwood.
