So many awesome great finds. The blue agate is amazing looking ! All your finds are awesome ! The big one at the end is very nice 👍😃

[@406findings]

Thanks 👍 It was a long day rockhounding but it paid off at the end for sure with the big blue one.

[@EllySpace]

The rocks look lovely . That was well shown and good commentary.

[@406findings]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@Mike-br8vb]

That last one was absolutely spectacular! You got some of the best finds on the yellowstone Travis! 🍻🙌

[@406findings]

I try my best when I'm out hounding 🍻

[@Mike-br8vb]

@406findings I do as well. Do you ever think about digging in some areas on the river? Or is it illegal to disturb the river bed?

[@406findings]

@@Mike-br8vb I have dug holes looking for stuff but never had any luck so it's more surface picking than anything and it's ok to dig on the river gravel bars as far as I know.

[@Mike-br8vb]

Well at least you tried, by the looks of your videos, there is no need to dig anyways right! 👍🏻

[@annette3681]

Beautiful!! Can't wait to get out there and do some looking for myself! Thanks for sharing!!

[@406findings]

Thanks 👍 I hope you can get out and find some nice stuff.

[@lolajo2850]

All of your finds were very impressive, especially that blue/black agate!

[@406findings]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@MichaelJohnson-mo4em]

So much area and so many gorgeous rocks. That blue is the biggest chunk I've ever saw! With a little carnelian to boot.

[@406findings]

Yeah it was a nice area that not many people go to since I was finding so much stuff and that blue one is a beauty I can't wait to cut it.

[@MichaelJohnson-mo4em]

Looking forward to seeing the reveal!

[@denisthemineralist4033]

Holy cow, brother! You took home a BUNCH of world class pieces there! That last one was a monster, but I'm equally as impressed with that banded one right before it. And I can't wait to see the moss and iris inside some of those other ones. As usual, you manage to check off both the size and quality boxes in one shot!

[@406findings]

It was a good six hours of rockhounding that day and I was successfully able to clean that area up before the river states to rise and wash it all away, thanks for watching 🍻

[@denisthemineralist4033]

@@406findings That's the beauty of the Yellowstone - it just throws us more stuff every year like we're pigeons at the park! I do love it!

[@wilbondcajunrockhound5758]

nice trip lots of goodies out there , 14:50 is cool cut that one up bet theres some crazy stuff in it

[@406findings]

Oh yeah we got into some beautiful stuff and I definitely want to cut that last one a few times for some slabs.

[@JhonDiamond2021]

Good finding

[@406findings]

[@moonstruck581]

Yellowstone River is on my bucket list. Incredible agate finds love the Agates with green all over it, the waterline agates, and that killer black on with the shape of rainbow banding WOW 🤩

[@406findings]

It's a great river for rockhounding there is so many different kinds of rocks that you will definitely find something interesting.

[@livinglife4309]

That green agate one was my favorite

[@406findings]

I really love green rocks and agate make it even better 🔥

[@dustinfindsrocks]

You found some great stuff! The green one the potential iris with the awesome bands and a neat tube agate. The Yellowstone River is just amazing!

[@406findings]

It is crazy how many different kinds of agates and rocks in general that can be found on the Yellowstone.

[@Shannon_Michael_W.]

Montana agates look fun to find. That big blue was awesome cool close ups on that big guy.

[@406findings]

They definitely are a good time to find and I had to show it's beauty close up for everyone ☺️

[@tashacherry1480]

2:34 FULGORITE!!! (PETRIFIED LIGHTNING) BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN CENTER TO THE LEFT. Just below the blue agate

[@darrinwilliams5715]

Holy cow you found some great agates. God bless the Yellowstone. 😎

[@406findings]

I agree God bless the Yellowstone 😎

[@Ken_G.]

That little one you find right around 10:00 almost looks like it might be a fully agatized coral.

[@406findings]

It could be, I don't know much about fossils so I'll have to have someone check it out.

[@tashacherry1480]

I thought the same thing. Chain coral I think it's called. I found a really nice specimen about the same size as his but it's not agate.

[@largent45]

So great travis! Fantastic finds! The yellowstone never disappoints! i cant wait to see that big one cut. I bet the slaps from that are going to be just awesome! So many bands, and a potential iris? I would say that was a pretty awesome day!

[@406findings]

Thanks and I'm definitely gonna get the big blue one cut and the tube agate I can cut myself and we shall see what the beauties look like👍

[@largent45]

@@406findings thats awesome! Just make sure to film it! I have a feeling they are going to be awesome!

[@406findings]

@@largent45 I sure will and I'll share with everyone.

Nice rocks. I used to frequent that exact location a few years ago, before the river washed out the “park” that was there...

[@406findings]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@mitchgillilan]

You absolutely killed it Travis! So many unique agates. love that giant one, the banding is really awesome and that deep blue color is really beautiful!

[@406findings]

Yeah it only took 6 hours 😂 and I can't wait to cut the big blue one 😎

[@mitchgillilan]

@@406findings looks like it might be good fishing lure material! 🎣

Travis, that's a pretty fine Spring hunt. I look forward to seeing some of those beauties sliced and better exposed.

[@406findings]

I'll definitely share them when I cut them up👍

[@jimlancaster6120]

Bet that big blue would have some Iris with all the lines it has you definitely need to slab it. Great day!

[@406findings]

I'll have to ask someone with a bigger saw for the big blue one to get cut but I'm definitely going to cut some slabs off it.
