[@T.M.S.Vreelands]

So fun to have Lydia along for the hunt this time. There were so many fantastic finds, but I do agree with you, that Lydia wins the prize for the top find.

[@judyherman1249]

Even though Lydia didn't find the first agate, she definitely wins for the best agate. What a fantastic rock finding daughter you have.

[@RockMyWorldKindaGirl]

Great job Dad rockhounding with Lydia. Great eyes on that little girl. Beautiful float...the music was so relaxing....zzzzz...... :) Seriously one of my favorite rockhounding videos.

[@ardellahanes8692]

You are giving your girl much more, than a love of "Rocks"! Good on you, Dad!!

[@Luciddreamer007]

Excellent Adventure ! Best Day Ever , huh ? I raised my daughter. She’s in grad school now. Enjoy these golden moments with yours. That blue dot 🔵 agate was there for her ! The Universe indeed , is alive , well & responds to LOVE 💕

[@AgateAngler]

All of the above! I treasure these days and I am glad to be able to document some of the experiences we have together.

[@janahertzberg6485]

I love how she is now following with your love of rocks!

[@gracewashburn8276]

Wow Lydia, that is a really beautiful stone. Wow you have the eye of your daddy for finding them beautiful stones. Wow Alex you’re doing a wonderful job hon. You’re teaching your daughter just by being out there and having a good time with her and she’s finding some pretty nice stones that Hass to be the gem of the day. That stone is gorgeous.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@natalieclark5819]

What an incredible little human you all are raising!

[@thisisme1999]

My favorite find was the 2 dozen American White Pelicans you paddled past and of course Lydia's agate. You are a good Dad.

[@AgateAngler]

I really appreciate that. Thank you!

[@likebuttahlikebuttah]

What an awesome rock hounding day! Great job, Lydia!

[@TinaHyde]

Even though I’m a big fan of Kip, I’m now a bigger fan of Lydia and eagle eye for agate! Way to go, precious baby girl! 🫶

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

Of course Lydia is the winner 🏆 and you are going to have some awesome competition on your hands in the very near future! I do also want to say that your safety vests are such great feature, I hope that all will follow your example be they small or big people no room for complacency where water is concerned.❤

[@robertmandigo7942]

Lydia is the winner today. My favorite is the awesom agate that she found, also the piece of pizza rock that she found. She definitely a big helper for dad. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.

[@tishkantack2854]

Go Lydia! What an awesome little Rockhound!

[@cynthiamelanson5135]

What an amazing find for Lydia. When you teach them young they seem to have a sharper eye for what you're looking for. Keep up the great work.

[@donnalantz7981]

Wow I can't believe it's already been 5 years. I remember when you were expecting her. She is a beautiful little girl and a smart one too. She does great work finding agates and other beauties. Great job paddling the kayak too.

[@herdogcyn156]

What a wonderful adventure for the two of you. Brings back memories of my Pops and I. Hands down Lydia's agate was the star of the show. Blessings to you and your family and to more beautiful agates to come.

[@AgateAngler]

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed the hunt. We'll have another one this upcoming weekend.

[@roxannsejkora1691]

That was a REALLY COOL agate that Lydia found! 😍

[@angelaabbott4542]

Lydia is five, omg I remember when you were waiting for her arrival, she's adorable, and closer to the ground, great at searching ❤

[@sisbugstreasures7094]

Find of the day Lydia! Great job!❤

[@tinahorne5967]

Its so lovely to see you both spending time together just father and daughter time,she is going to be brilliant by the time she's grown. Take care god bless.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🐞🦋🐝🕊️

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Lydia wins the gold medal! My goodness she's 5 years old? Have I been watching you that long? I think I started watching pre-Lydia! She really knows how to move those rocks around to find the treasures. What a nice time for a girl and her dad. 😊

[@AgateAngler]

Isn't that crazy!? I can't believe how old she is already.

[@elizabethschaer9636]

I love the interaction between you and your daughter.

[@CacklingChick]

How wonderful to enjoy rockhounding with your daughter! Jealous of your pet wood! ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️

[@graywolffoss8057]

Lydia. That's because she has a good teacher.

[@dr.jerrygustafson7680]

You are a wonderful daddy! Positive and uplifting.

[@IndusRiverRock]

Great job Lydia 8:50 👍beautiful places for rockhounding somany beautiful stones 11:13 really very beautiful find thanks for beautiful sharing 😊

[@seanmcquillan3390]

I’m a teacher, Lydia is definitely sharing this adventure in class for news❤️

[@kimberlylilley1753]

I vote for Lydia as the world's best 5-year-old agate hunter. What a great way to have some kiddo time as well. You guys are cute. P.S. I'm jelly over the big Jasper you found. 🫶

[@tjzambonischwartz]

Kid found the trip maker for sure. Holy moly.

[@sueerickson4849]

Lydia has the gift!

[@mandycleezehappyhour4238]

Some of my very earliest memories are of camping (often involving a canoe) with my dad, and all the time he spent teacing me about and fostering my passion for the night sky (I became an astronomer bc of those times and now work for a world class institution). The special memories you are creating for your daughter are absolutely priceless. Dads who spend time with their daughters exploring the wilderness are the best. This really warmed my heart.

[@nancybremner4620]

❤ Is that a NEW logo I just saw? It is awesome and simplistically wonderful for your site and who you are. Of course Lydia is the world’s best 5 year old rock hound! Every find was exciting and I can’t forget to comment on the music once again as it is just soooo relaxing. This will definitely be an episode to watch in winter when it is -40 below. Thanks once again for another memory filled video. 😊

[@monicamarion7262]

Great finds! Lydia found the best! Shes such a sweet girl! You and her mom are doing a great job! ❤ i think its amazing you bring her with you and learning her stones! Great job! ❤

[@AgateAngler]

She is indeed. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching.

[@deniseview4253]

It is the most beautiful find of an agate. She’s always had a good eye with rocks.

[@brianholcomb940]

Awesome job, Lydia! You rock! Thanks for sharing.

[@doncook2054]

Awesome Agate, Lydia!!!

[@samfulks4896]

You are finding some pretty stuff. Go Lydia!

[@froglizard6135]

Great finds! Your daughter has the eye for it

[@Flintytube]

Love all the petrified wood finds.

[@kyross12]

Lydia's was definitely the best find.

[@Trashslayer76]

Love it! One agate like that early on, and you'll have a lifetime rockhound!

[@AgateAngler]

Thats the hope!

[@MichelleWade-e7y]

Great job Lydia!! Gorgeous agate! I bring my six yo boy with me though he likes playing in the water more than he likes looking for rocks haha love how genuinely excited children get when they find something cool :)

[@Mike-br8vb]

You taught your girl well! My favorite is most definitely Lydia's agate!

[@AgateAngler]

She has picked most of it up on her own, but it is so much fun to spend time together one the river. She keeps that agate on a table next to her bed.

[@Mike-br8vb]

@AgateAngler so awesome to hear that! You're a great father. I'm glad you let her keep it next to her bed, guaranteed it will be a memory she will never forget!

[@cynthiaswain4070]

Its so beautiful to see father and daughter rock hounding together. One of my granddaughters rock hounds with me. Now that she's a teenager not as much. Great parenting spending time with a child. Lydia found an amazing beauty for sure.

[@AgateAngler]

One of my favorite things to do with the kids. Looking forward to many more rock hunts to come.

[@nancywilson9380]

What a great memory for Lydia to watch when she's older!

[@notlostjustwandering218]

Pretty sure Lydia skunked you on this outing! 😁 Picturing Lydia's most beautiful agate as Halloween decor - an eyeball peering over a shelf

[@vtx2023]

what a great find by lydia! id love to see this one cut.. :)

[@chriswasta7765]

Kids have the advantage, closer to the ground and keener vision. Best regards, Chris

[@jeanwillis810]

Amazing job Lydia!!!

[@coffee19837]

Very beautiful finds Lydia you did such a wonderful job at rockhounding keep up the great job 😊

[@AgateAngler]

She will most definitely keep it up! Thanks for watching!

[@gingermackeen5741]

Way to go Lydia! Loved this video with your daughter!❤

[@AgateAngler]

Thanks for watching! So glad you enjoyed it.

[@ChristinaDeMeritt]

Love your rock hounding adventures, especially with your daughter and/or your dog. Wondering if you see what I immediately saw on your last find of this video? Turn the agate longways in your hand… it’s a silhouette of your daughter and your dog.

[@grokeffer6226]

That's a beautiful spot up there. Lydia definitely found the nicest agate. She's a very good helper, especially helping with the paddling!! 🙂🛶

[@AgateAngler]

The very best helper indeed!

[@mrsgrammy3552]

Great Job Lydia !! Interesting video !! You both found some really good stuff !!

[@Finefingers74]

"Don't you wish you found that?" You go girl, might outdo your dad one day! I feel the next generation of KZbinr is well on her way.❤

[@AgateAngler]

You might very well be right!

[@genevryfreeland2054]

And there finds are amazing

[@amberandrews6842]

Beautiful treasures found!!

[@TheWinnieWonka]

Way to go, Lydia!!

[@AgateAngler]

She is quite the rockhound!

[@sonshinelegacy773]

I just ran across your channel and was pleasantly surprised. The agates and petrified wood you found were amazing but the best part is watching you and Lydia have fun together enjoying the outdoors. I definitely will be watching more.

[@AgateAngler]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Pampnaylor]

Way to go Lydia you have a great eye. 👁️ I love that you and your dad are out rock hunting and kayaking together. I’ve been past the Yellowstone river so many times when I would travel from Florida to Montana and I didn’t know anything about rocks! But now that I’ve seen your video I’m gonna make a stop the next time. I’m passing by the Yellowstone river! What a wonderful video.

[@AgateAngler]

So glad you enjoyed the hunt. The Yellowstone is rock hunting paradise.

[@susie5710]

So fun! Thanks

[@vanessapedraspreciosasecam6379]

Boa noite, que dupla fenomenal, encontraram agatas belissimas, que fartura em pedras parabens. Like Merecido.

[@MrM2hb]

Great family outing.

[@shaewilson4503]

Wow! That pet wood is impressive!

[@AgateAngler]

It is truly amazing material.

[@RodneyPike]

I recently found your channel through Theo. Really enjoying your content. Lydia is adorable and yes, she skunked you with that pretty blue & white agate. Go Lydia!! 🏆

[@AgateAngler]

Glad you enjoy the content, thanks for coming along. Theo is a good friend, but I haven't seen him in a while.

[@rebeccaryderagreetotally.5895]

This is my first time seeing your channel and I really enjoyed it. I watch other rockhounding folks, but only a couple that captured me.

[@AgateAngler]

Thanks for coming along! I am glad you enjoyed the hunt with Lydia and myself.

[@Tammy-5L]

Does Lydia have a rock collection of her own? She is off to a great start!

[@lyneece1956]

Lydia for the win

[@jeanettestefanik5854]

She is so beautiful.

[@AgateAngler]

She truly is. Thank you!

[@rosemaryspringer4239]

Your adventure reminds me of when I used to go fishing with my dad.

[@AgateAngler]

Those are the very best sort of memories.

[@christianmarshall6250]

7:58 I feel like that would be really nice to cut the end off of to give a nice flat view of the rings in the wood.

[@RickSmith-kp3sy]

Such tiny hands!😊

[@AgateAngler]

Indeed! Its amazing to watch them grow.

[@jawakening2043]

Don't be jealous! She will out find you! New Earth child 🌎

[@butchgarner3911]

The agate competition is over.... "Dad, you call that an agate?? phhsh, whatever...."

[@AgateAngler]

Yeah.... I definitely got smoked.

[@lauriekaup7108]

Lydia wins hands down !!

[@wyattgibson6241]

Finally finds the Agate at 11:17 your welcome.

[@roger_is_red]

I still get the same feeling being with my daughter, and she's 36. Jeannine

[@AgateAngler]

That's wonderful! Thanks for watching.

[@ににずく]

私はいつか自分で珪化木を拾うのが夢です。 石が好きな息子と、いつも動画を楽しく見ています。

[@sherrysproul8454]

Looks Like you had better take Lydia all the time! When you float the river, how do you return to where you put the kayak in?

[@genevryfreeland2054]

Kids last longer then most adults. Id rather be with them

[@JulesUS8386]

Kind of looks like the back side of Imperial Jasper.

[@AgateAngler]

Interesting thought.

[@debbieneel8344]

What does petrified wood look like slabbed

[@AgateAngler]

Great question, perhaps I should make a video...?

[@veldasnyder2144]

Carefull dad or she will over take your show lol It is so nice to induse your child to your hobby.

[@michaelburns9172]

Dad stick your chest out there . And be Proud. She has the eye for what she is looking for.

[@eugeniascott4762]

Lydia a chip (rock) off the shoulder.🗿

[@AgateAngler]

No kidding! Thanks for watching.

[@lance9101970]

Lower to the rocks with a different point of view

[@AgateAngler]

I'll try to keep that in mind. Thanks for the feedback

[@tinaanderson7283]

Well she is closer to the ground than you.

[@saralynn518]

Is Lydia booking tours for 2025 yet?

[@AgateAngler]

Not quite yet.... stay tuned!

[@jonnsgirl]

Wow Lydia, great job finding that beautiful agate! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

[@AgateAngler]

She sure did! Thanks for coming along.

[@kastah]

Lydia has grown a lot and I think she like to go rock hunting tooYou found some good ones

[@jestjim3608]

I've not been subbed for long, but I am impressed. I see U get it! The raw beauty of that petrified wood is fantabulous. We take grandkids out on the Yellowstone when we can. It's about family! It's sure a different selection since the flood js. Seems like more vivid colors, fossilized & crystalline!? ty & tc. ✌️🫶

[@AgateAngler]

Thank you for the kind words. It definitely is a wonderful family activity. We are lucky to live close to this amazing river and enjoy it regularly.

[@kyross12]

Lydia's was definitely the best find.
