Muddy Mississippi River Rock Hunt

[@sisbugstreasures7094]

The “strange” one with the agate in bands looks like agatized petrified wood.❤

[@robertmandigo7942]

Pint full measure I think is what it was on that bottle. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.

[@99Rockhounding]

That would make sense. Thanks for watching!

[@helgavoorneveld1530]

Love the rocks and the animal tracks!!

[@99Rockhounding]

Thanks!

[@scottchase8014]

So it always makes me feel better to get out in the field and explore new places and find new things 27 year's out in field

[@kimdedominicis6893]

Great video! Loved the petrified pliers!

[@99Rockhounding]

I wonder how old they are? It's not uncommon to find stuff from the early 1900s there.

[@icatz]

Thomas, you found some beautiful rocks. That weird one is really pretty. I've got over 3 months till I can get back out hounding. Thanks for filling the gap. ❤️💔🎸🏏

[@99Rockhounding]

In about 3 months I'll be done rockhounding lol

[@icatz]

@@99Rockhounding We live in the same country. Such huge differences.

[@Rocking-SLC]

Hi Thomas, that was a mess of spectacular agate today. Great video!

[@99Rockhounding]

I was really happy to find that! I was a bit disappointed I didn't find many more after.

[@scottpeters5624]

Always a joy to go hunting with you Thomas, thanks man

[@99Rockhounding]

Thanks for tagging along!

[@audraacklin9826]

Cool rock hunt. Love the bit about the mosquito 😂. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. ❤️

[@99Rockhounding]

It was trying to bite me while I was filming😂😂 The nerve!

[@audraacklin9826]

That's so rude! 😂♥️♥️

[@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976]

Love that bright red Jasper and that large chunk of stone. I think you need some gumboots 😊😊😊 Enjoyed the video

[@99Rockhounding]

I love the crocs! Thanks for watching!

[@carmenevans7651]

Thanks for taking us along. I've always wondered about rock hounding the Mississippi.

[@99Rockhounding]

It's tough, but there's definitely stuff to be found!

[@oldgamerchick]

Nice finds 🙃☕

[@agatebeauties]

Awesome finds. Thanks for sharing

[@99Rockhounding]

Thanks for watching!

[@timbalos3766]

Excited to see that piece of jasper when it's done! So unique! Nice find!

[@99Rockhounding]

I keep forgetting to put it in the tumbler. Right now it’s in my backpack and I keep leaving it in the car when I go to check the rocks😂😂

[@scottchase8014]

It just looks fun

[@justjulee9135]

I liked the different location. Sorry about all the mud in your shoes. You did find some pretty agates and jaspers. I enjoyed seeing the wildlife tracks and the butterfly 🦋

[@99Rockhounding]

The nice thing about the crocs is they're easy to wash! Glad you enjoyed😁

[@debispilker4392]

Neat rocks!

[@MNpicker]

Awesome stuff man!!👍 Some sweet stones!!.

[@99Rockhounding]

Thanks 👍

[@dustinfindsrocks]

I’ve rockhounded this same river! Just a bit downstream… 😂

[@99Rockhounding]

It’s an awesome river!

[@denisthemineralist4033]

Really loving how dense the bands on those agates are up there. And that last jasper was a nice score. It's so strange to me to see you on the Mississippi up there and it's so tiny. Down here near the Gulf of Mexico, when people say "Mississippi River" we picture it a half-mile wide or more. :)

[@99Rockhounding]

Pretty amazing to think that the water starts all the way up here and makes it way all the way to the Gulf.

[@denisthemineralist4033]

@@99Rockhounding Rumor has it, the entire trip for a single drop of water takes about 90 days!

[@TarnishedViking.]

🤘👍

[@karapoole4070]

Where were you at? What state and town?

[@patriciamckean4186]

I went to the Mississippi River in the nirth and was shocked how small it was. I wasn't able to rock hound as recent rainstorms covered the shores. Just poison ivy.

[@99Rockhounding]

It gets pretty small in some spots. There's definitely a lot of poison ivy around!

[@openyoureyes7539]

Dragonfly larva shell.

[@99Rockhounding]

Still icky😝

[@randydoan1887]

prehistortic pliers from the iron age

[@99Rockhounding]

They've been fossilized😂

[@mskandy83]

I feel your pain - I like to walk the Mississippi River a few days a week to try and find agates - I haven't had much luck - since the rocks are so dirty and it's really hard to tell. Your video is encouraging, I'll keep visiting the river and hopefully - one day a nice agate will turn up. :)

[@99Rockhounding]

The best advice I can offer is keep trying!

[@CityRockhounding]

Beautiful day and video Thomas, well done. Sweet agates and quartz finds, love the banding, colors and patterns. The one at 8:50 is pretty dang cool looking, and the jasper at the end is sweet too. Nice old pliers.

[@99Rockhounding]

The river always has something interesting to find!
