Hiya Taylor, hey I just wanted to say that, if you're going into the woods, you should always wear jeans. First of all it's going to protect your legs from brambles and sticks from scratching your legs. Just saying.......I'm 60 yrs old and I was raised in the woods, staying safe out there is the number 1 thing. Awesome finds you scored, and a awesome video, I'm glad you brought us along with you. So stay safe when you're out and about, and I hope you have a awesome blessed weekend. Cya! 😺🐟out!

This is the exact reoccurring dream I have of wading in a creek and bend down to pick up an agate only to see another and another until the whole creek bed is solid agate! Minus the ripped shorts of course. I share your passion for rocks and have a ginormous laker agate collection. But the collection has slowed in growing these past two years due to cancer treatment paralyzing my legs. Gravel driveways have been my main hunting grounds since. I’m so happy to have found your channel and was literally talking to you while watching you hunt telling you, wait, go back, what was that. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures! Keep um coming! :)

Had to watch this one again, really enjoyed the river. Went on my first river hunt today. I was so excited to be out there. So peaceful just like you videos. Cool little waterfalls too. I need to up my game and get some waders, the river was high from all the rain, and flowing fast. Need to make my viewing bucket with a light. But found some jasper and different quartz. It was a great first time, really help me understand and use the tips and tricks from your videos. It was cool to use the sun light. Plan better, watch the weather, and going again soon! Thanks for inspiring Taylor!
