[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: I usually say thank you for taking me on a spectacular rockhounding trip.... but today I went rafting with the family too...been 20+years since I got to rafting with my sons. You have lifted my spirit today. Thanks to your entire family. 🐕

[@rogerdudra178]

That's a nice piece of agate at 7:00 you found. Good score.

[@grandmakellymcdonald]

Very cool! 🌺❤️👵💕

[@imuneik]

I’m still laughing at myself because I keep answering you like you can hear me as I’m watching you pick up these beautiful rocks. You have a great eye!!!❤❤😂

[@IndusRiverRock]

Thanks for beautiful sharing 😊

[@lpatrick357]

Oh my! That jasper at 4:00!!

[@MontanaRockMom]

That jasper was my favorite find of the day!!! I should have rinsed it off better. It has several quartz pockets with yellow agate banding around them, just incredible!

[@oozywound]

you always find the best stuff!!

[@nicholasnewton6775]

Ooh la la goodies goodies goodies. I love watching your Kate videos with my daughter. She's from miles city originally so we are itching to hound on Yellowstone

[@tanekarnes5260]

You found some really nice stones😃

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

* Fabulous first find.. Your first Jasper was Amazing. So many colors & they look like inclusions.. WOW.. Can't believe all the HUGE Agates.. Cool..

[@zannib6]

That 3rd one is AMAZING!! I live in Yellowstone county so I’m gonna go look around too!! Thanks for sharing! I strongly feel that crystals and many stones are quite healing❤️ grounding and mood lifting!! They are a gift most aren’t open to excepting!

[@hockeyrace]

Great Episode! Love your channel. Women rockhounds 🤘. Hehe. Such gorgeous finds! So glad you kept that green one with the weird chemical makeup! Can’t wait to see what that looks like when you cut it. It looks sort of gemmy. Gosh, I wish I lived near the Yellowstone. Such stunning agates and jaspers. I LoVe the Jaspers! Impatiently awaiting your next cutting episode. 😩😊 Stay Crystal 💫 Mari

[@geneturk4242]

Good to see you again great video

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Lovely rocks. Nice day with your family. SO good to have a boat. Thanks.

[@cynergy4]

It's nice that the flooding turned over some yummy new material for you! A nice positive spin on things. The agate will look spectacular cut! Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@tomday5830]

1:38 in and you have completely smoked every episode of agate angler. Wow, that agate is so full of dendritic that I've never seen! 💯👍

[@bandilla7317]

Wow nice place awesome pretty rock.

[@grokeffer6226]

Welcome back. You Rock!!!

[@Cliffwalkerrockhounding]

Some nice chunky ones today, that river is so full of good stuff.

[@silverback5033]

Hello MRM, well what a day you have had, a bit of fun on the river, a couple of stones, watched a couple of floaters go by 😜 and a few more stones. Ok, that first jasper was a killer piece, then some more nice pieces, then that green, Jasper, then a petrified wood, then those yellow & red jaspers at the end, just stunning. It is amazing to me to so many different varieties & colours in the one place, you a very lucky to have access to so much beautiful material. ( yes, I’m damn jealous) 😂😂. Another great video, even if it left me a bit envious. Looks like you had a great day Kim. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin PS. Forgot to mention that moss agate, 🤬, that is another killer piece. Shane

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thanks Shane

[@GrandmaBev64]

Nice! After flooding, brings up great treasures! Happy Hunting!

[@midnightstarr5413]

Man what a dream place that is!! I wouldn't know when to quit!! And I wouldn't be able to walk out from there that's for sure! You'd have to float my rocks and me out on a barge!! What a place. It's nice to see family time spent doing what you all love!! Keep your videos rolling in. May you always have safe journeys and gorgeous rock finds!

[@Mz.Stephanie]

That jasper was amazing!!!

[@reneewilbur4340]

Cool little layered one looks like an alien! Lol

[@charletedwards8690]

This is my first time to watch you and I love the rock hounding. The red and green jaspar are my faves

[@MontanaRockMom]

Welcome and thank you for watching! Green Jasper is my favorite to find!!!! Especially a deep green, or green with blue hues...

[@wyodino6245]

Love that green Jasper. Looks like another great day on the river. Thanks for sharing MRM.

[@annettasessions4214]

So happy to come across your YT page. I also am a rich hound mom😃 Beautiful adventures😉

[@thegatesofdawn...1386]

Greens and blue greens are beautiful! Yellowstone is not the only stone on that rainbow of colored rock river! Great place for treasures.

[@reneewilbur4340]

Prettiest jasper I ever seen!

[@lisamanrique1770]

OMG! Those are some extremely nice looking and very nice sized agates!! What a great day that was!

[@patriciamckean4186]

Such a wonderful day back on the yellowstone. Want to kayak and hunt beauties too. Our local rivers have sand bars. Going rocking in U.P. this fall. Planning and packing my tools/backpack. Maybe a day at Lake Michigan. Ohh...soooo...green!!! So glad the river is safe finally.

[@elleisme8565]

Nice stuff!!!

You are super productive! You find those beautiful colourful rocks nonstop.Just amazing !

[@treasurelife6922]

The jaspers look so southwestern in color and that agate at 9:20 is so defined. "I'm going to cut it", if rocks could hear, I bet that rock was terrified. Glad your back Kim.

[@georgezink8256]

I’ll take it home if ya don’t want it , Lols God bless thanks for sharing

Always such a good selection of things to cut there! I can’t wait to see Drogon eat some of those 👍🏼

[@anniegironne8444]

Nice ride on the Yellowstone river. Great jasper, especially the green one. Glad to see you again.

[@cynthiaschwartz559]

Beautiful finds, I was just out in Montana and did some Rock hounding on the Yellowstone, found a beautiful green color agate, nice petrified wood, and awesome color Jasper. I has so much fun . My car is full of Montana rocks. Heading home to Wisconsin.

[@mitchgillilan]

Awesome!!! Great post flood finds!! I love those montana agates so much. The big agate at 5:30 looks like an ice cream sandwich! Thanks for sharing your epic trip down the river 😎

[@songbirdscreations-MargaretS]

The plumes in that first agate are amazing! WOW!

[@sandmaker]

What a beautiful rafting trip. I'm glad you were able to have a few rock gathering sorties. I loved all the rocks, but I'm partial to the jaspers and wowza on the green one. Thanks for taking us along, it was a fun trip. I can't wait to see a few cuts. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

[@debrabettcher884]

Hi Kim, So happy to see you again! You found some beautiful pieces. Glad you and your family had a good time. Hope you get some nice rains to wash away some of the silt left behind from the flooding. Looking forward to seeing you and Chopper soon!!🥰

Thanks Debra. 😊 💙

@@MontanaRockMom have you ever been hounding in Washington state?

@@nicholasnewton6775 Not too much... my sister lives in spokane, so a little bit there locally....

[@nicholasnewton6775]

@@MontanaRockMom oh yeah you gotta get further west over near cle elum find that elusive Ellensburg blue. On west side of the mountains we have red and carnelian agates as well as purple amethyst

[@MontanaRockMom]

@@nicholasnewton6775 a nice purple amethyst would be on my list 💜💜💜 ... one day I'd like to hunt the lava fields outside of the Columbia basin flow...maybe find some vugs filled with crystals 💎💎💎 (on my bucket list for a find)

Incredible finds. Thank you for sharing.

[@baronessbooks9909]

Fabulous 🎉

[@8621Charro]

I simply cannot BELIEVE how easy it is to find agates and pet wood there!! I LOVE watching your vids, Kim...keep them coming!

[@lolajo2850]

What awesome finds, Kim! Looks like the family had a lot of fun.

[@janiehand2954]

Some beautiful rocks, especially agates. Chopper sure has pretty fur.

[@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm]

Those were some amazing finds. Looking forward to seeing them cut up. Always enjoy watching The family adventures. Thanks for bringing us along. 👍

[@raundupuis3134]

I'm really happy I was introduced to your channel!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Welcome Raun!

[@erickillg811]

Do you know how lucky you are to have a river so filled with gigantic agates. Oh my goodness I need to make a 12 Hour Dr. over there.

[@MontanaRockMom]

Best river in the world to me....I love this river.

[@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976]

Great video, beautiful finds. ❤️❤️❤️ Really loved those Jaspers. That river is really beautiful too, looks like a fantastic day out. Really liked that Aventurine too.

[@MontanaRockMom]

I am starting on a quest to collect all the different aventurine colors we have here. So far I have been told there is aqua-green, blue, peach and strawberry!

[@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976]

@@MontanaRockMom that sounds amazing. I would do that too. Hopefully you will highlight them in a video ❤️❤️

[@largent45]

Such beautiful finds! And so many of them! Wow! Montana is gorgeous and the yellowstone river is wonderful for the whole family! What a fun day! Thank you for sharing!

[@clentonweston8839]

Whoa maaan! This was one heck of a day for rafting and rock hounding!!! Montana has the largest Agates from what I have been seeing. Love your videos. Keep them coming. I learned a great deal from you and Theo.

[@MrTurtleMontana]

As a born & raised Montanan, who is now transplanted in Michigan, you gotta sell me that Jasper you found at around the 4:00 minute mark! Or maybe do a swap? I'm so mad that I wasn't a rockhound growing up! We hunted antler sheds, but not agates! 😭

[@Ken_G.]

Yay!! Kim's back!! Glad to see you're doing ok. Looks like that was a great day on the river, as always. That weird one with the green nodules looks like it might be some sort of volcanic ejecta (I love that word). Altered tuff (there's a word for that I can't remember) with chlorinated silica vesicles, similar to galaxy stone. Or something else completely.😁 Love to see it when you cut it open.

[@MontanaRockMom]

I'm pulling myself back together, finally! Volcanic ejecta!! Love it. It's a very pretty stone 💚

[@OregonRocks]

I want to Rockhound this area so badly. Such a beautiful place to go discovering and with the recent floods its unveiled so many wonderful gems. Between you, KatyDid, and Theo, those finds would be a highlight in our rockhounding career. Great job, love the video and thank you for sharing. 2:30 chalcedony is amazing and 4:38 blue agate, such an amazing color. 6:11 just speechless, that has to weigh at least 8lbs!!! 7:57 banded blue chalcedony, just amazing, i couldn't ask for a more amazing day of rockhounding.

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thanks Oregon Rocks...and your state is on my rockhounding bucket list!

[@OregonRocks]

@@MontanaRockMom That's awesome, your state is on ours as well. We have pretty decent agates, but those Montana agates are just a different species 😀

[@gemstonejudy5900]

Those were some fantastic finds!

[@darewoIf]

Looking for rocks is one of my favorite past-times! We drive all over the place just to find different and unique minerals and artifacts!

[@dmozonnersepicoutdooradven3524]

We have done some videos on Nevada agates, cut & polish. Thanks for the video.

[@veronicamoore3777]

Welcome back! These are beautiful finds!!! You didn’t have to look too hard to find them, although you do have a good eye for rock hounding. I would imagine with all the flooding, you will be finding a lot more!And what a handsome guy you have there!😊

[@billrobbins5874]

Beautiful area. Thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I think this was some of your better camera work. Very nice finds, and some were exceptional. Thanks for the upload.

[@robmeyer8470]

I love when your hunting the yellowstone

[@FoxyGirlWonder]

That green is a real beauty. The last green I found and thought was jasper turned out to be a gorgeous deep green agate on closer inspection. What a thrill!

[@Darrenbenavides8]

Bro I love your channel but when you leave the petrified woods behind I wanna cry cause their so good

[@maryzefo3801]

I just love your enthusiasm and you have a lot of knowledge too Little Rock county I'm glad there's other girl rock hounds out there next thing I got to do is get me a saw I think I have some cool rocks now that would be cool if I could saw them and polish them a little but I'll get there anyway thanks for sharing all your goody finds and your knowledge

[@maryzefo3801]

I don't know how that Little Rock county got in there my phone's been messing with me anyway thank you Montana Rock mom

[@activedogzz100]

That is so fun

[@vickielester5624]

So glad to see you back! Was getting worried.

[@noisyocean7371]

Thanks Kim, you have inspired me to rockhound some of the ancient rivers in the montains not too far from where I live in Australia. not sure what I'll find but enthusiastic to give it a go and I'l be taking a squirt bottle, at least I don't have to worry about bears!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Have some wonderful adventures! The water bottle is so helpful, especially when you are just starting out....there's so much beauty underneath the layer of dirt, even if you have no idea what you're looking at! Nature's art always brings a smile to my face 😊

[@gongha4484]

so im from minnesota so different type of agate but god i am jealous of the size you find I wish I could find one that big
