Oregon Rocks! Rockhounding Oregon| South Coast Shells and Stones

The winter is the perfect time to visit Oregon's south coast and one of my favorite beaches. The Oregon coast is a great place to relax and rockhound but Oregon's south coast is extra special for those who know where to go.

Cheers Rogue. That jasper at 13:52 was spectacular

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Thanks buddy^^

[@mitchgillilan]

What a great day out on the beach! Some of the jasper down there is crazy looking with all the colors and quartz filled areas. I can't believe that giant colorful one buried in the sand it was the best! Nice driftwood and burl collection the beach has to show off 😀

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Glad you enjoyed, great to hear from ya Mitch ^^ I always appreciate the support

[@largent45]

That was awesome! You are so lucky to have access to such wonderful things. It doesnt sound so far away for me but with my handicaps, it may as well be on the moon. But so beautiful. Thpse beautiful driftwood burls, i could imagine making a beautiful bowl out of, to fill it with all those beautiful rocks you were finding. So pretty. You are very lucky. Thank you! It was wonderful seeing all the different things the Oregon coast has to offer. Thanks Andrew!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Thanks Largent. I love this beach and wish you could visit it. Hopefully I can capture the experience again for you ^^ Take care and chat w/ ya soon 💙

[@lifewithankylosingspondylitis]

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Thanks! I hope youre enjoying the spring ^^

[@outdooradventureswithfayde6832]

Very cool exploratory rockhounding adventure along the southern coast. Wow, that looked like a blast! Loved how you just showed us everything interesting and cool. There were a couple of times I was like, "Please tell me you kept that!" 🤣 So many cool, swirly, beautiful rocks with wild patterns. Excellent shell finds, too. This is why you're one of my favorite channels, bro. Fantastic video, Andrew 😁👍

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Glad you enjoyed it man, great to hear from ya too. Looks like youve been busy making vids lately too ^^ Chat w/ ya soon buddy ^^

[@markthomas3730]

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Rock_Dude]

If you are going to coos Bay I can give you gps location for a cove that is more than 10 feet deep of see shell's. Most of them are whole.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

I bet! You know all the cool spots!

[@debbiehamm56]

I'd love to know. I went to high school there. Even though my parents left to follow their youngest child to Montana, we live in Roseburg and go to cops bay to recreate year around.

[@chetalger873]

Love this video.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Thank you Chet, great to hear you enjoyed. Hope to chat w/ you soon ^^

[@terrylschumacher-levy5150]

My mouth was agape 😮the whole time! Best Oregon beach rockhounding video I've seen. 🙌 You on the central southern coast?

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Thanks! I live in Medford and this was recorded at Otter Point (South Coast)

[@tinacluff2793]

I really liked the one at 4:30, all those colors beautiful and the red one at 13:29. Are you allowed to take the wood? Some of them looked like they could be used in a sculpture. The teal one at 14:27 I thought at first it was a marble. The green one at 14:47 is pretty cool. Beautiful white shell at 16:14,

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Wicked cool beach As for the wood, I've never heard you can't take it. I use driftwood for displays pretty regularly Thanks for watching ^^

[@sharonpape4343]

Some very holey rocks there !

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Totally. Great spot for piddock stones ^^

[@sharonpape4343]

❤ I would need a wagon to collect rocks. There are o many cool rocks there

[@TheRogueRockhound]

My favorite beach ^^

[@ScruffyTheBarbarian]

Great video. I just visited that area and may have brought up one of those larger rocks you showed at the beginning of the video (at :29). Almost did me in !

[@TheRogueRockhound]

HAHA! The big ones will get ya ^^ Thanks for watching Scruffy!

[@angelsong7730]

Thank you for posting that vid on the sunstone chat!! Wish I could find where you hid part one, cuz I need all the tips n tricks I can get! This video is the way I usually go rock hounding, the rivers and beaches when I am able. . . . Sooo where is part 1? : / I'm so excited by you're channel - well done! Especially the end when you threw the seashells back so they can be reused = bravo! 😍 Bonus bravo = the stone you showed at the end! 💜💝💜

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Thanks! Part 1 of the sunstone video is the first few minutes of the video. I am working on a video right now that will tell you everything you need to know about the Sunstone extravaganza this June. If you turn on all notifications for my channel you can be one of the first to see it when I post it ^^ I hope to have that done this week so stay tuned! Thanks again ^^

[@RagnarRocks]

Sweet finds man! No matter what anyone says, ocean beach rockhounding is the best rockhounding. What do you do with the shells you keep? I have jars and jars of them

[@TheRogueRockhound]

I hardly ever keep the shells tbh. I like to put them back into the tide pools for new critters to use. I wasnt going to put any music to this vid b/c I wanted ppl to get the beach xp. Also why I didnt talk much. This is a place I bet you'd love buddy

[@crystalminerrocks6122]

wow. what a wonderful variety... dont see that stuff here sadly

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Maybe you can visit the Oregon coast some day man, Its awesome through and through ^^

Tenho muita vontade de ir aí...

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Você adoraria ^^

[@lifewithankylosingspondylitis]

How do u even have the will power to say no to rocks and throw them back? I wouldn't be able to

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Years of training ^^

[@mathewladroga4695]

What are wholes from at 1:44? We said ooooooo at the same time lol

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Theyre called Piddock stones and theyre made by bivalves chewing into the rock to make a house. Pretty cool stuff ^^

[@melindakapp5838]

why doesnt someone sale these gorgeous and unusual rocks and pieces of driftwood! dont need to do a thing with them, just pack and ship!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Technically illegal but lots of people do it. I prefer gifting though^^

[@ttvfirefoxyt5904]

What part of the coast in Oregon is this? If I don't get to the Oregon coast soon I am going to go crazy!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Outside Gold Beach (South Coast)

[@ttvfirefoxyt5904]

@@TheRogueRockhound we spent a week in Bandon at Bullard state park in June. I came home with some beautiful rocks!

[@debbiehamm56]

Is it a secret or can you tell us where to go? It's my 67th birthday. We are staying near Gold Beach. We are age 10 months to 68.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

I'll be there later today ^^ You want to go to Otter Point, Indian sands, or Lobster creek. This video is of Otter point, but that can be a difficult access for some. Indian sands has some really nice chert and lobster creek has some nice serpentine/bowenite

[@crystalminerrocks6122]

Well, now we know where the cargo barge delivering to Shell City sank. 😁😁

[@TheRogueRockhound]

HAHA!

[@enriquepuga7864]

I want to go, were is this Beach???

[@TheRogueRockhound]

about 5 miles north of Gold Beach

[@sharonpape4343]

What do you do with all the shells?

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Either toss them back to Poseidon or give them away ^^

[@nhrockaholic6038]

What is eroding out of the larger stones you are finding to leave such nice holes?

[@TheRogueRockhound]

They're called piddock stones or sometimes hag stones and are made from mollusks chewing the rock to make a home. Super cool ^^

[@nhrockaholic6038]

13:52, Beautiful!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Thanks NH ^^

[@graemero5532]

agreed

[@sharonpape4343]

Are those rocks volcanic?

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Metamorphic I think. I'm not the best geologist though ^^

[@gina1952]

👍

[@sarahmcdonough9251]

How can you call yourself a RockHound when you are leaving behind so many amazing finds??? WHAT IS HAPPENING???🤬🤬🤬

[@TheRogueRockhound]

HAHA! Yeah, I get that alot. If I kept them all though, what would the others get ^^ As they say, sharing is caring

[@andyc1955]

I live in Oregon and have been a rockhound for over 50 years. I too leave most of what I find, otherwise it just gets dumped in the yard and never to be seen again, lol. I agree about leaving most of them for others. Its similar to not picking wild flowers. Enjoyed your video very much, nicely done!@@TheRogueRockhound

[@irsheebaba]

Hi. I've been trying to find some really cool driftwood...Haven't found any here on my beaches, I'm Central Coast up to North. I have been wanting to try the south coast area. Would you be willing to give me a general area/beach down there to find some driftwood? Thanks

[@TheRogueRockhound]

If you dont mind scaling down a steep trail, Otter Point is where this video was recorded. I'd also check out Whale's head and Bullards beach. Thanks for watching and good luck!!

[@irsheebaba]

@@TheRogueRockhound THANKS! Have you ever been to Short Beach?

[@irsheebaba]

Do you have your own slab saw?

[@TheRogueRockhound]

I wish! I use the saws at the Crater Rock Museum ^^ Thanks for watching Patty

[@irsheebaba]

@@TheRogueRockhound That's what I was thinking. We were in the museum last summer...took some sunstones in we got at the collection area. LOVE watching your videos! Recognize many of the places you go to. I'm from Central Point, live in Salem right now but will be moving back.

[@TheRogueRockhound]

@@irsheebaba Thanks a ton! Hope to meet you when you move back ^^ Will you make it to the free sunstone event this year? June 17th and 18th

[@irsheebaba]

@@TheRogueRockhound will look into that, thanks!

[@sarahmcdonough9251]

I have seen SO MANY THINGS I would buy from you in a heartbeat!!! It's time to start selling things & lay off showing us shells that are so common they are boring. Stop ignoring the amazing finds & START SELLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Thanks! This is my favorite beach b/c it always has such cool rocks. Unfortunately, I cant sell the rocks that are found on public lands but I can ignore the tiny shells ^^ Thanks for watching Sarah!
