Lost a Kayak (Scary), Found Incredible Gemstones | Agate & Petrified Wood Rockhounding

We Had an Absolutely Beautiful day out rockhounding on the Yellowstone River. There was a small mishap early on involving a kayak and some camera gear, but everyone was okay and the we still had a great time. We found some lovely agates as usual.

[@AgateAngler]

Thanks for coming along on the adventure! Be sure to check out Theo and Kate's channels (Links in Description). I'm headed to Helena, MT today for my last two weeks of Physician Assistant Training, but I hope to do some rockhounding while I am there. If you had an adventure this weekend, please share it in the comments. I hope everyone had a great weekend.

[@aydamercado6798]

Nice!!!! Good traveling!!! Blessings!!! Love the video, we all will help Teo!!!

[@AgateAngler]

Thank you! Made it safe!

How about showing us those paleo indian points your sure to have found I found a great agate huerfano river bed here in colo this year banded and blue and it changes color in the sun great show

I guess I am pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good place to stream new tv shows online?

Super trio, extra wyprawa😊🤗

[@AgateAngler]

We are indeed!

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Beautiful blue. Poor Theo. You guys are good friends to him...so glad you carried on with the hunt.

[@AgateAngler]

It was a good day all things considered. Thanks for watching.

[@kimbain4368]

Directly under the bottom left of "Isn't that a pretty sandstone" (and yes, it was) at 8:56 looked like another piece of unakite. I watched Theo's and Kate's videos and was bummed that Theo lost his gear. But he bore the loss with the grace of a good sport and carried on. It was very nice of you guys to help him out. This was, other than that, a great outing with lots of wonderful finds. Thanks for taking us along!

[@AgateAngler]

Theo is a good guy and he was very humble in his recovery from such an unfortunate mess. Thanks for watching Kim.

[@deniseview4253]

I always enjoy it. As I always tell Katy. Love watching rockhounding.

[@AgateAngler]

Glad you enjoy it! My wife is always surprised at how many people enjoy watching my videos, there are a lot of us rockhounds out there!

[@haileyfinch610]

Loved the petrified wood at 5:30 with the band running through it! And all the agates of course lol.

[@AgateAngler]

I know! Wasn't that wood beautiful! Thanks for watching Hailey!

[@mary-anneswanson9931]

Glad you had fun with your family this weekend Alex :) I'm holding out hope for someone calling Theo about his kayak and gear . You found some lovely pieces. I had a wee bit of a hard time tracking with the camera moving quickly. ( I have a bit of a problem focusing at times ) Take Care and see you next video :).

[@AgateAngler]

Hello Mary-Anne, I'm afraid that Theo probably won't be getting his gear back, but there is always hope. I'm beginning to think the camera movement issue is more related to the camera (Or lack thereof) rather than the speed of movement. I'll actually be investing in a little bit more of a real camera set-up soon that should improve the tracking issue. Right now, I shoot everything on my old iPhone.

[@mary-anneswanson9931]

@@AgateAngler I'm happy to hear you are getting new camera gear . I have a problem even when someone is moving things in their hand so it might be a combo of both :)

[@michaelvandyke6715]

That petwood at 5:50 is beautiful.... Going to be a million dollar tumble!! Two thumbs up...

[@AgateAngler]

Yes! I am looking forward to tumbling that one! Thanks for watching Michael!

[@janetdaniels6404]

I can’t believe that Theo hasn’t received a call to pick up his lost kayak. From my perspective watching the three of you it looks like Montana people are awesome!

[@AgateAngler]

I know! To be fair, I don't know if he had his name or number on it anywhere. It was totally unfortunate, but he was a total trooper in recovering. Thanks for watching Janet.

[@salishseaquest7952]

Alex, I have watched Theo's and Kate's videos. Was glad to see yours and hear that you tried to capture the kayak. Poor Theo -- but he did rebound and had some great finds and thanks to Kate, was able to film. It ended up being a good hunt for all of you.

[@AgateAngler]

Thanks so much for watching. It was unfortunate, but Theo really made the best out of a bad situation.

[@TinaHyde]

The mark of a true rock addict - the inability to end a rock hunt. “And this’ll be my last agate...wait, what’s this?” 😂 “As I was heading to the car/kayak/etc to go home, I found THIS!” 😂 I’m constantly telling someone in my family “I’ll be right in. Almost done...” If rock love is a sickness, I don’t want a cure. ♥️

[@AgateAngler]

You are definitely not alone with that problem (Even though it really isn't a problem ;) ) Thanks for watching.

[@lauramarti7548]

Always enjoy seeing what you find!

[@AgateAngler]

Thanks for watching Laura!

[@betojdesigns]

I looked up the brick you found Buffalo Kan Block. Looks like vintage brick used as street pavers. From Buffalo Brick Company in Buffalo, Kansas. Some sell for $7.99 up to $34.50. You might want to go back and get it. Loved the pet wood at 4:29.

[@AgateAngler]

Good info!!!!! I might have to go back and pick that thing up.

[@betojdesigns]

@@AgateAngler It looked like it was in perfect condition too.

We picked up some huge and amazing moss agate there. I had no idea there were septarian nodules! Will be back in a few weeks and will keep a look out for them. Thank you for the video.

[@AgateAngler]

My pleasure! Good luck out there!

[@themidwesternrockhound388]

Looks like you had a blast!! I love that piece of chert Theo found. It was cool to see some septarian nodules there because today I went rockhunting for septarian nodules and found some awesome pieces! Thanks for the adventure!!

It was a total blast with a little bit of tragedy. Septarians are really neat. You going to make a video on it?

lol Houston we have a rock...love that !! You found beautiful rocks today.

[@CityRockhounding]

What gorgeous rocks Alex! Learning new stuff in all your videos! Thank you.

[@purpleberrygems3114]

Man this brings back some good memories, I remember when I was riding a kayak and a huge log was approaching me, and there was a current pushing me fast towards it, and I slammed into it, flipping my kayak upside down, and i was underwater, got back on, but I lost both paddles, because that log made me drop my mini camera, and I lost all the footage of the trip and that camera is probably still at the bottom of that river. It’s waterproof but it sinks. Good times.

[@AgateAngler]

Sounds terrifying in the moment, glad you came out of it okay! Thanks for watching!

[@hangonzales6196]

I have to say that I had to control myself not to scream every time you got a good rock😁.

[@RxDawg94]

I’m a new subscriber and relatively new to rockhounding. I very much appreciate your commentary. Always up beat and I dig the enthusiasm when you find a good piece. I do find myself trying to see what you’re seeing, especially when you find a piece that has some banding in it and some other physical attribute. Since I don’t have a trained eye yet, I sometimes have a hard time locating what you’re seeing. As a suggestion, maybe you could freeze the shot for a few seconds and edit in some pointy arrows to show us what you are seeing, i.e. show an agate with arrows pointing to the subtle bands that you see. I know that would benefit me and help me train my eyes. Really appreciate what you do. Rock on! Haha!

[@patriciamckean4186]

Gorgeous finds. Love watching all the videos.

[@Cherrycola14]

Seriously beautiful petrified wood

[@imeldajadulco7579]

Looking at your family and freinds walking, enjoying the beach and the marvels of agates somehow excite me to do the same in my hometown or currently by the riverside or by the beach of Davao de Oro, Philippines hoping I can find agates,geodes,jasper and petrified wood and other gemstones. I really love watching your videos and that of your freinds exploring and showing beautiful parts of nature.

I absolutely love your videos, I love to rock hound myself found a great agate yesterday the size of my fist. You should come to Oregon for some awesome rock hunting.

[@AgateAngler]

The size of a fist? Wow! That's awesome! I do have some places on my rockhounding bucket list that I need to check out. I'll have to add Oregon to that list.

[@richardland9668]

Amazing trip to the island. I saw your tumbled stones on Instagram Petrified wood looks absolutely amazing polished

[@shaunajohnson5225]

Hi Alex! We enjoy rockhounding on the Yellowstone as well, we’re in Livingston. We have a boat, so it’s really exciting to get out onto some less-frequented rock bars and look. I really enjoy your videos, the next best thing to getting out myself...if you’re ever in the Livingston area, I could tell ya about some of my favorite spots.

[@stephaniemeadows6796]

I could spend all day out there. I have always loved searching for cool stones been doing it since I was little and mom would gripe Everytime I'd forget to take them out of my pocket and shed find them on laundry day lol

Please tell me you took the pretty orange sandstone and the Buffalo Block 😂😂....I’m a hounder AND hoarder😂😂 that last one looked like a triceratops head, have Theo carve it ...thanks for the fun

[@AgateAngler]

I didn't take either (Fail) largely because I didn't want to weigh the kayak down too much, but I might go back for the Buffalo Block. Thanks so much for watching Anne!

[@KCoda1248]

My favorite was the green striped one. Are you sure you don’t want to tumble it and send it to me for me recent birthday? LOL! Along with a piece of petrified wood? Since NJ is apparently not on the edge of Magical Sherwood Forest? Just kidding! 😀

Woo! The Kipper! Haha I also heard "The Kippster" slip out there near the end! Oh man, that sucks about the kayak and the gear... 5:50 what a beaut! 12:00 you guys remind me of ravens poking around a field first thing in the morning Ooooo! Sapphire!

[@AgateAngler]

You WIN! And yup, definitely slipped a "Kipster" in there at one point. We do look like carion, don't we? Hope you are well.

[@WhiteSupreme]

I went to a rock quarry on the weekend with my gf and her friend and I spent over an hour just on one mound picking so many cool little rocks. Found a lot of agates, petrified wood, fossilized bone and such. Would have stayed longer but it was kind of a spur of the moment idea after spending a few hours at some walking trails an hour away.

[@darkseidtheboss4811]

Always here for you Alex 👍 Btw which are better, agates or jasper? 🤔

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

I think their both separately unique and great to find. Love the transparency and unique banding of agates but the intense color range of Jasper has is also super cool. That’s my opinion.

[@AgateAngler]

That is the eternal question. I lean slightly towards agate, though some of the rare jaspers might easily beat most of the agates I find on the river. Good question though.

[@AgateAngler]

Good way to put it.

[@jessiegrider529]

I went down to 4567 Peeler Bend road in Benton Ark. This is a nice place to Wade the Saline. There are a lot of interesting rocks. White Quartz, Shale, Yellow rocks and red Jasper. It's such a pretty riverbed. I didn't see any spectacular rocks and kept nothing but I had a good time. If anyone knows we of other swimming holes or rockhound locations in Arkansas let me know.

[@AgateAngler]

Interesting! At the end of the day, it is all about getting outside and having a great time. Keep exploring, you never know what you'll find.

[@thomaspownall2989]

Awesome Video!! Sorry about the kayak. I have a question: If you leave tumbled stones in its solution, let's say stage 4, without tumbling (because it auto stopped, and I wasn't home) *Would the aluminum oxide solution "stain" the rocks?* I did leave it for about 10 hrs, after it stopped, when I dumped the tumbler, all the rocks looked worse than stage 3. Just curious if I can redo and save them.

[@AgateAngler]

Hey Thomas, No worries about the Kayak. It was a bummer for Theo, but he'll survive. As far as your question goes, (And I am not a tumbling expert by any means) I would not expect any sort of staining or problem from the rocks sitting in the mixture. I would just tumble like normal and see how they turn out. I assume it will be just fine.

[@shirleythomas6377]

Love watching your finds. Does sandstone polish?

[@AgateAngler]

It does polish, just not as well as some of the harder rocks and minerals.

[@mikewatson4814]

[@josephstanley200]

Iv watched few of these types of videos now and always wondered why no one takes the rocks to see what’s hidden just below

[@AgateAngler]

I think because there are just far too many rocks, so you may as well just look at the ones on top. I can be very overwhelming in person.
