MASSIVE Agate Haul at Damon Point! | Washington Coast Rockhounding

Welcome to another video!
I'm back at Damon Point and we found so many beautiful agates!
Including a sard agate, many carnelian agates, chalcedony, and even some poppy aka orbicular jasper, and sea glass!
I had an absolute blast, and I hope you do too watching the video!
Thank you for watching
Tot de volgende keer
(Until next time)

enjoyed seeing the finds

[@yogawithnicolespirit]

Thanks for this video, I live in Canada but making a special trip to Damon Point to hunt for beautiful rocks. And those Poppy Jasper were beautiful. I live near the ocean on Vancouver Island and I love finding agates, better than diamonds. Thanks for your fun videos.

[@DutchmansAgates]

Nice, I'm keeping my fingers crossed you find some beautiful agates! I find poppy jaspers pretty consistently at Damon Point, so if you like those I hope you find some of those too. Thank you for watching!

[@thegatesofdawn...1386]

The really red one !🎉

[@agatebeauties]

Amazing finds! Fun to watch. Great to see your excitement on your finds!

[@DutchmansAgates]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was a great day!

[@rubysohogirl]

Absolutely great video! Nice finds there. Look forward to your next video and finds!!!

[@DutchmansAgates]

Thank you very much! I look forward to it as well, it's so much fun!

[@HitTheStreets101]

Hi, some very nice little finds. Plus some nice sized ones as well 🌈 thanks for taking us with you on the hunt 🤗 WHAT!!! 22:49 🎉 Cheers

[@DutchmansAgates]

Haha, thank you! I get pretty excited, especially when I find some larger ones on this beach. They're not super common, especially since it gets picked over quite a bit. 😆

[@bz988]

🤗💚🫠 I absolutely love this video 💚🤗

[@DutchmansAgates]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😄

[@dmaschy599]

I enjoyed your walk on the beach.

[@DutchmansAgates]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@bobbiwheeler9361]

Nice finds I love Damon point!!

[@DutchmansAgates]

Thank you, It is a beautiful spot!

[@paulmeeker3816]

Where the beach bends is where the big ones are. I lived in Oceanshores for almost 4 years, definitely my favorite beach to hunt for agates, jasper, and petrified wood.

[@DutchmansAgates]

That's good advice! It's not even just the rocks, the sights and smells are just as beautiful. It's very relaxing!

[@michy-tu3rr]

Wow. You really lucked out.

[@DutchmansAgates]

Yeah it's the luck of the draw lol

[@raygay3375]

What a day! Wow 🤩 I just found your channel; I really enjoyed your video. ❤

[@DutchmansAgates]

[@sherlesmith5304]

Great job I am jealous

[@DutchmansAgates]

Thank you!

[@bettjohnson8654]

Congratulations!

[@rockersfromaz3001]

Awesome!! And can I just say those poppy jaspers were amazing!!! I’ve never found poppy jasper before and I hope to one day!

[@DutchmansAgates]

Thank you! Yeah they're pretty cool, this particular beach is where I've found all of the ones I have, no where else. I'm sure someone in the comments can shed some light on how they're formed.

[@lizzymoore54]

Ancient Coral Petosky stone is a fossil rock formed from the remains of the rugose coral Hexagonaria percarinata. These corals are believed to have existed before the dinosaurs and thrived during a time when a warm, shallow sea covered a large part of the Great Lakes region. At that time a large reef supported an abundant variety of sea life, including these six-sided coral colony dwellers and the plankton they fed on. This is the small patterned “ rock “ you found and were asking about. Found in Michigan as well. Great haul on a beautiful day; who could ask for more? GHOST SHIP! 😉🤓☺️

[@DutchmansAgates]

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I'll have to keep an eye out for more.

[@rockprincess]

Cool finds! 👍🏼

[@DutchmansAgates]

Thank you!

[@laurat5143]

That little one my sister would call it her jelly been agate.

[@pnwagate]

your enthusiasm is amazing tho

[@DutchmansAgates]

Thank you! Can't help it sometimes haha.

Damon point

[@LollyGaggler]

Love this vid..I live down by north jetty...I just bought a tumbler...this vid is very helpful thank you!

[@DutchmansAgates]

Ahh beautiful area! We checked it out, and the 15-20 ft waves hitting the big boulders are quite impressive. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-xf6dd8jc5o]

👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@kseaglass8920]

Timestamp 10:21 hello, New sub. I think that's 🤔 simular to a honeycomb coral.. or something like petoskey stone. Rock hardness could be useful indeed. Glad I found you. Keep Rockin ' and much respect from the great 👍🏼 lakes 🐢💚🐸 found awesome bangers out there. 🍒 You'll add many more cherries to come. Have a blessed Sunday.

[@DutchmansAgates]

Thank you very much for the kind comment, and the sub! When I found it I immediately thought petoskey stone as well since I follow some Michigan rock hounders like Michigan rocks, but as far as I know it's not found in WA state. It does seem to fit though. Thank you again, and I hope so too, lol!

[@evastapaard2462]

oh I love petoskey stones! wish I could visit Michigan!

[@pnwagate]

all very small ,but beautiful specimens indeed

[@DutchmansAgates]

Yeah I still pick up the small stuff, as I make more video's I film it less and less though lol

[@WallyBox4Me]

I love & live for beach walks like you're on & I definitely end up filling my pockets with treasures like you do but I have to ask; what do you end up doing with most of your finds? Can you make money collecting rocks?

[@DutchmansAgates]

Generally I clean them, soak them in citric acid, or iron out if needed, put some mineral oil on them and put them in glass jars to look at. I'd like to turn some into necklaces possibly later. Individual specimens have to be pretty spectacular to make money on. Making things out of it might some side cash, not enough to live on I think. Keep enjoying the hobby! I love how it takes me to beautiful places.

[@thegatesofdawn...1386]

Chalcedony.

[@DutchmansAgates]

Any particulair one? A timestamp would be helpful.

[@SunshineCottagewa]

Why do you go at sunrise? Or does it have to do with tides. I went yesterday and found my first agate. I’m just learning. I live in pacific beach

[@DutchmansAgates]

Ideally you do match going out with the tides, but I'm very much a morning person so I prefer to be out there bright and early. Good job on your first agate! It's a thrill every time I find one, still.

[@notinmanitou]

We all miss a few. I bet when you get home and look at your video, you'll see some you missed. It happens to all videographers. You could watch for someone looking for sea glass and give them the pieces you found. Do you live in the US or are you just a frequent visitor?

[@DutchmansAgates]

Does that mean I missed some? Didn't think I did this time lol. I thought about finding someone, but didn't see many at all. I was mostly by myself. I currently live in the US (WA state), my wife's American.

[@notinmanitou]

@@DutchmansAgates I thought I saw some glowers that you missed, but it's hard to tell from 2000 miles away, lol.

[@DutchmansAgates]

@@notinmanitou Yeah, they could've been, wouldn't be the first time, lol!

[@evastapaard2462]

What do you do with your finds?

[@DutchmansAgates]

I give them a good soak in citric acid, then give them a coating in mineral oil, then I put them in glass jars, sitting on a side table, so I can look at them. :) The much bigger ones I'll put in front of a window, so the light shines through them.

[@evastapaard2462]

@@DutchmansAgates nog geen trommel machine in het verschiet?

[@DutchmansAgates]

@@evastapaard2462 Ik wil graag in de toekomst een trillende tuimelaar kopen, want ik vind de agaten mooier als ze natuurlijk zijn. Maar wel een beetje gepolijst zijn om ze die "natte" look te geven.

[@evastapaard2462]

@@DutchmansAgates en dan later nog een machine om ze te slijpen lol....zo gaat het vaak. ik vind ze allemaal mooi. maar ik wil vaak alles aan de binnenkant zien. alles doorzagen! ik ben een bruut, ik weet het lol.

[@mazzeoniify]

Less talk more hunting

[@DutchmansAgates]

This is an older video, my newer video's are mostly finds.
