Oregon Only Stones: RockHounding Opal Jasper Agate 2019

joemaddox.wixsite.com/joemadd...
I few of our favorites of this years start! All the wonderful Opal, Jasper, Agate, Petrified Wood and more that Oregon has to offer! Little jam on my 12 and 6 string in the form of how it felt for me.

Born n raised Oregonian. Been rocking since I started walking. Hound in my heart and for life. Everything you've picked up is absolutely magnificent n such a true Oregon gem! And what an incredible piece of picturesque scenery! Oregon is truly a wondrous natural piece of heaven on this blue n green planet. Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful space and treasures!

[@charlangregg2900]

Went rock hunting today in Michigan and I found a lot of good and different ones found a big piece of crystal but don’t think it is from here laying right on top of pile like take home assume good luck everyone rock hunting. Oregon thank you for comment! I love them too!

[@mikelouis9389]

Oregon has got to be one of the greatest places on earth to rock hound! Looking out from McDonalds ranch and being able to count seven visible Cascade range volcanoes while digging was truly a lifetime moment.

[@bonesstones6584]

Dude, I gotta tell you, I came back and watched this video again, it is now my favorite video on the KZbin.

[@gregganthony3774]

[@BackcountrywithShaughn]

Spectacular jaspers folks, really beautiful stuff we have in our little corner of the world and am thankful that you shared your fortunes with us rock hungry tubers. 😁 That first piece is magnificent 🌶 and needs its heart exposed for the world to see!👍Enjoy the videos very much and look forward to seeing what boulder of jasper you stumble upon next.

[@lisaknecht2217]

Beautiful stones! It makes me want to go to Oregon! I like the music too. Great video!

[@verdagarner5112]

I have learned so much watching these Ockham collecting shows I think this was one of my favorite

[@treasuresunderfoot7876]

What a killer variety of colors & patterns in that Jasper. I was drooling at the first piece.

[@nekojita5150]

Wow, they're all wonderful but that first one is so unique. A true gem. Thank you for sharing

[@triciayoung6759]

Wow every colour and texture, such beautiful pieces big and small. Loved the wildlife shots too, thank you 👍🏼😊

[@MrsOx-jz9fg]

They all were beautiful but the very 1st was absolutely stunning..

[@bonesstones6584]

Love the ending shot of the running water, I can't wait to visit Oregon.

[@fakkedd]

Absolutely beautiful spot, especially with that waterfall in the background. The First Nations people of that area must have loved that spot as a source of arrow and spear heads.

[@MsElsarios]

🤩thanks for the content..loved it..I felt like that was me searching for rocks myself... so excited and happy to see every curve of the rocks 😎

[@lisapfeiffer4053]

What a beautiful video! I`m glad I discovered you. You are a very well kept secret jewel.

[@666hobart]

oof wrong comment I replied to!

[@CodyHartman710]

Wow! Just Wow! I must find this spot. The Willamette River is such a great river to find some beautiful stones. Makes me want to get out right now.

[@mariavittoria9248]

I live on the Willamette between Portland and Salem! I've scored some pretty good finds along the river but NOTHING like what is seen in this video.

[@lizzymoore54]

[@gary3270]

Timeless beauty of those stones! ❤

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: This is gorgeous!

[@jefftrag1956]

I read about how to make an industrial tumbler out of a rear axle of a big semi truck with the rims and tires in place. You want to cut an opening in the highest part of the rim to load rocks. The article said a cover is not needed but I always thought if I was going to do one I would have a hinged door sealed with inner tube rubber. The idea is to set up a motor geared down so the tires rotates slowly and all the rocks stay in the lowest part of the tire at all times tumbling over each other. Each tire can hold about 100 lbs of rocks and you have 4 tires going at all times each one with a different grit. Always use same tire for the same grit. You rotate the rocks once a week and you have a 100 lbs of polished tumbled stones each week.

[@kilrati1]

The first stone is really fantastic!

[@abdulradermakhsum3435]

Everything was beautiful

[@cyncitynv7413]

Beautiful Joe, just beautiful!

[@sandraboyer5060]

[@sherlokfirmo5655]

Bom dia amigo Joe, que lindas Pedras, parabéns pela excelente filmagens, que lindo paraíso, riquíssimo em tudo.um forte abraço e até já.

[@SRLGemstone]

There are so many beautiful pieces among them. Makes me want to go hunting :)

[@todddaugherty110]

That first one is so beautiful it does not look real, but more like a piece of candy. Lot of good sized honkers in there. Thanks for the share.

[@mrcraftivist1391]

Beautiful specimens in that River. Thanks for sharing!! (New Sub)

[@natalieclark5819]

[@pattimessenger6214]

You found some beautiful stones there! Unique and so colorful!

[@josephsheehan3243]

They are all beautiful.

[@ieatcaribou7852]

Absolutely gorgeous.

[@madisonmiller1671]

I live in Oregon and find all sorts of jasper and agates, I really connect with this video

[@kiddkarnelian3723]

yes you are in the right place pet wood, jasper, jasper agate, agate it all looks wonderful and even though its tough to cut. it will all make beautiful jewelry

[@itslattice4195]

That first piece of ornate multicolored jasper is amazing. A bit later you find another from the same vein/deposit. Neither looks like they were in the river long enough to be completely rounded so I am guessing you are close to the deposit. That is a deposit worth hunting down. I will gladly help! I'm in oregon too.

[@electrichellion5946]

It's Lattice - I’d be down for that hunt as well. Oregon born and raised.

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Well here are 3 of us then. Born in Albany in 1965, still here, I love Oregon.

[@shereetompkins3358]

My thought exactly.

[@dinglehops491]

Seemed like he was looking at the top of the plumes in it, when he turned it, it had huge orange plumes surrounded by smaller banding. Great Seam agate.

[@gailhowes9398]

What a beautiful rock! ( the first one ) my sister and I love poking amongst the rocks when ever we traveled and now we are too old and arthritic! We would have loved to poke around where you are right now! Thank you for sharing!

[@ShellyAnn1a]

You showed some beautiful rocks specimens. Went up on the Warner Escarpment to look for carnelian agate, came home with about a half pound of mixed coprolites, some small wind polished carnelians and a 12.5 carat opal. Have gone back several times in hopes of finding another. Please share more of your Oregon videos and/or stills. Thank you for sharing these finds.

[@agingintobeauty]

Grew up in Oregon. Combed the coastal beaches, swam in mountain streams, hiked the Cascades... never saw any of the beautiful rocks under foot. Now, I want to retrace all those steps with new perspective;)
