I am an avid rock collector but never actually knew what I was collecting except beach agates. Now I'm binge watching tons of rochhounding videos and learning what to look for. I live in Central Oregon, but I work in the Umpqua Valley, so it's not too far from the Rogue River Valley.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Zinc Creek (near S. Umpqua falls) is a great spot. Ive got GPS coordinates if ya need em

[@LookAtThisRock]

I love how there's just a massive chunk of Petrified log just sitting chillin in nature. Like, where's the rest of you bro? You used to be a huge tree! So cool to spot that!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Pretty sure there is a ton more underground in that area ^^

[@LookAtThisRock]

@@TheRogueRockhound Oh.....good point. Hidden rock!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

@LookAtThisRock yeah, we found a stump one time that was going into the mountain. Tried to dig a bit just to see where it went and it basically went on forever. Whole friggin tree ^^

Is there any possible chance you would let me know where this amazing spot is? I'm in Southern Oregon, on the coast in brookings. We get lots of beautiful agates, jasper and pet wood here, but definitely not as abundant as what you got there. Id love to make a trip there sometime

[@jakegray2785]

Also what kinda rock is that at 10:45

[@TheRogueRockhound]

@@jakegray2785 Send me a message on Instagram and I'll fill you in on the spot.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

@@jakegray2785 Pretty sure its Jasper

[@chloelamonica1500]

I think I know where this amazing spot is but I’m not confident. Would you be willing to give tips on rockhounding in a specific area? I’ve only been to one place in Eugene before!

[@susanhunter5524]

I would love to follow behind and take the ones you throw away.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Hehe, I get that alot ^^

[@tassia1954]

Hi Merry Christmas and greetings I am watching from Greece.I really like you rock hunting.Its very interesting and just would like to see more of cleaning and cutting everything you find! Happy new year ❤

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Welcome to the channel!! Thanks for watching I will definitely be doing much more cleaning/cutting/polishing videos very soon. Thanks again and hope to chat again ^^

[@Mike-br8vb]

Incredible, amazing finds! Good luck on the processing stages of these rocks!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Gonna take some time for sure ^^

[@Rocktwister]

Such beautiful finds! Fantastic video!

[@jameshicks7125]

I walk my dog almost daily at the Illinois River Forks State park. I have picked up a large piece of either petrified wood or Argillite. There is tons of Argillite but I haven't found a piece that resembles what appears to be petrified wood. It is a slab about 12 pounds it looks like an outer bark section of what must have been a large tree. Still not sure what it is. Regardless I've collected five 5-gallon buckets worth of rocks so far. I don't have enough knowledge to know if anything is particularly worthwhile, but I pick up the pieces that stand out as being dramatically different if I like them.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Bring them to the museum, they will help get a positive ID ^^

[@tassia1954]

And by the way kwarts look really great to me !I know they don't have much value but I still like them!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Heck yeah, me too ^^

Very nice! You need a pack mule.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

HAHA! So true

[@outdooradventureswithfayde6832]

I know where you are.....rockhounding heaven! The variety is outstanding. I'm loving every piece so far, but that jasper and some of those pet wood pieces have me drooling. Still watching 😁

That was a fantastic video! After the rain was awesome and I really enjoyed seeing the fungus. There was an agate that looked like it had a rose shaped pattern in it that stood out the most. The petwood was so awesome. That log, wow!! That huge chunk at the end reminds me of one ya sent that sits on my top shelf. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all those cool rocks! Happy New Year, bro!

Holy petrified wood dude! For some reason YT buried your vids…had to go searching, that’s why I’m late to the party. Some really gorgeous colors…I “ohhhhed” and “ahhhhed” the whole way through ❤❤❤

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Stinking YT. Lots of big stuff in this video, I was jazzed ^^

[@allisoncolby7851]

Yey! I love your videos, and I especially liked this one! So many beautiful pieces. I've been trying to find a place like this to hunt for rocks. I'm in K.Falls, and I don't find rocks like that where I am. It was still fun to see all the endless nice finds you had. Impossible to carry them all back with you! Just amazing. I especially like the blue/green rocks, and all the colorful ones. Thanks so much for sharing this video. I loved it~ 👍😎🌲😁👉⛏️🪣🏞️

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Thanks so much 😊and hope to chat with you again soon ^^

Todas muito incríveis amigo.

Eu aprecio isso, obrigado por assistir!

[@mehmetkupeli2073]

Hey i vent to hart mountain , i was not able to pass through the steep angled high brush towards the De garmo canyon, i had to turn back. And there was nothing like in your video!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

This video is in Eagle Point. If you went to degarmo and didnt find anything, you did it wrong. That place has all kinds of cool stuff. The porcelain jasper is tough to find, but the further away from the road you get, the higher you chances. Best of luck, let me know if I can help ya more

[@westmeridian]

Looks like an amazing area!

I love it!

Im from medford area. Hello. Im a rock hounder just like you. Was wandering about your petrified wood?

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Youre looking for Worthington Rd. ^^

[@elainerose8799]

Can you do anything with a big chunk of petrified wood? I have some in my yard that’s just slowly falling apart into smaller and smaller pieces. Is it worth anything or should I try to preserve it?

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Youre not going to preserve it (for the most part) If you want to see if its "worth saving" give it a cut. That will tell you if the corruption is all the way through By the sounds of it, it should remain a yard rock Thanks for watching!!

[@davidlyons4463]

Where in oregon did u have such an amazing day rockhounding? Is it public or private lands?
