Oh my gosh, Fantastic finds, Since finding your videos last week, ive been obsessed in trawling our rivers throughout Dartmoor UK finding some great agates etc but so far NONE as exciting as your finds, Next on my agenda is to buy myself a Tumble.. I love the moors we have for my exercise and the tranquility for the peace of mind and relaxation but now i can combine this with my new hobby woohoo,,, Thank you xx

I used to live and work in Williston ND. The business was located on a dirt road. I used to walk up and down this road and collect Agates & Petrified wood. I am not sure where the dirt came from, but it must have come from Montana. I would use a gallon size storage bag and fill about half full. Then I would tumble them. Keep on doing what you are doing.

Beautiful finds, but, you forgot... and over there... (heeeheehee) If you listened to us you wouldn't just need a bigger backpack, you'd need a stack of 5 gal buckets every time you go out. lol That waterline is awesome! Have you ever tried Tea Tree Oil as a skeeter repellent? It works for me, and it doesn't take much. I put it in a pocket size spray bottle and re-apply about every 3 hrs. or as needed. I also start taking a Garlic supplement in April, skeeters Hate Garlic. Between the two, I might get 15 bites a year, the skeeters may land but 99% don't bite. Again, Thank You for sharing... And, as always, Good Luck, Have Fun, and Keep on Houndin' Steve...

Hi Alex I could see leaving the river bank would be hard with all that new exposed rock out there to hunt through . There are sometimes rocks you go by that I would like to see or scoop but the ones you do take are equally amazing :) I do not want to see you getting eaten by mosquitoes though :) Maybe try "bike guards" or just elastics around the bottom of your pants and a mosquito hat with net so you don't become lunch. You and yours have a wonderful weekend too :)
