Rockhounding in April - COLORFUL Petrified Wood, Fabulous Jasper and CHUNKY Montana Agate

Kate and Kava wade the cold river to an island to go rockhounding on an island on Montana's Yellowstone River. The search for agates, petrified wood and colorful jasper is on, and as usual, the Yellowstone does not disappoint. Kate finds a chunky Montana agate, and one piece of petrified wood that has both jasper and agate in it! The vibe is relaxing, the view is amazing, and the rock hunt is soul satisfying. Come along!

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Thank you so much for this opportunity to say hello to our rockhound community while taking part in such a wonderful adventure. I've never hunted a place as amazing as these parts of the Yellowstone.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Awww, Kelly, you're not so dusty. :) Thanks for watching!

[@kirsiselei8703]

What a nice hunt and amazing finds❤thx for takeing us along to the beautuful riverside❤️👋🇫🇮

[@largent45]

Such beautiful finds on a beautiful day! And Kava was enjoying herself to the fullest too! Lol! And that limb cast that is in your thumbnail is absolutely gorgeous 😍! Just a great day on the Yellowstone! It was on my bucket list of places I wanted to hound but now I'm too disabled to be able to go out, so your videos really help me to live vicariously through you! Thanks Kate! It was an awesome day❣️

[@KatyDidRocks]

Lisa, I am so glad our adventures can help you get "out." :)

[@kastah]

worked out fine to rinse off the rocks at home since you showed us them right awaySo lovely to see some Jaspers, gives colors to all the grey rocks we see BEFORE you have rinsed them offLovely as always to walk along the Yellowstone river, nice and sunny. Thank you.

[@AlabamaUSA1234]

Enjoyed the video Kate... You're a stronger person than me, getting in that cold water...our winter is 45* on a cold day... Southern to the bone here😂 Our days are in the 80s now. We really enjoyed all the beautiful rocks. Thank you so much for sharing

[@fionabeale3245]

Another successful hunt thanks for taking us along I look forward to this every week ❤ ❤❤

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks, Fiona! I sure appreciate your support.

[@jennifershipp2599]

[@katielane4431]

These pieces are just amazing I love watching you rock hunt I’m there with you in spirit have an amazing day Katie Australia 🇦🇺

[@KatyDidRocks]

Fantastic! I'm glad you enjoy it.

[@patriciamckean4186]

What a nice hunt! Nice pretties. Can't wait to see you make some cabachons!

[@pennychristenson2422]

Hi Katie, Hubby & I love rockhounding in Wyoming & Montana. I would probably be out hunting for beautiful agates, wood, jasper & fossils as often as the weather allows. Unfortunately we live upstate N.Y. and the minerals here r nowhere near as diverse as out west! We will be there this summer for 3 weeks & I’m patiently waiting. I love watching your videos(Theo’s & MRM’s also). Thanks to your videos, I can vicariously rockhound & stay ready to explore! Rock on!,😁

[@michaelvandyke6715]

Awesome hounding and great finds.. I miss the solitude of the Montana rivers, no people, nature at its best! Thanks for sharing my friend...

[@KatyDidRocks]

I am very spoiled. :)

[@laurafolsom2048]

Rocks are my favorite people ❤

[@KatyDidRocks]

Me too, TBH!

[@cynthiaswain4070]

I really enjoyed watching you collect. Thank you for not throwing out the little guys. I'm in a coastal area in the most northern part of California. We find little agates and jasper on the beach. I'm disabled to a certain extent and would love to be in the areas many of you folks with U tube are. My youngest granddaughters love rocks also. Your excitement seems genuine. Thank you

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks so much for watching. :)

[@anniegironne8444]

Just in time before the flood. Beautiful rocks as always.

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thank you! :)

[@leannaerickson9745]

Such a wonderful adventure. At 7:30 the two tone rock looks like it could be slabbed into a picture stone.

[@gracewashburn8276]

Well, that was awesome those three nice pieces of agates right there in a row. How wonderful could that be a couple nice chunky size agates to cut what is gonna be some pretty stones tumbled at your house I can’t wait to see what you make out of all those.❤❤❤❤

[@KatyDidRocks]

It was so fun, especially since I was singing for them. :D It was a good day.

[@brightpurpleviking]

So many of those agates remind me of raw oysters! Ahh you’re in rock heaven❤

[@KatyDidRocks]

Raw oysters!? LOL, are you hungry?

[@brightpurpleviking]

@@KatyDidRocks probably haha

[@user-jy4kb4wu1k]

I sing to the rock gods to. You make my rocks look like leavitrite. I love your videos. I love your casual aditude. Sometimes I just wanna see. Thanks

[@KatyDidRocks]

:) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Wonderful, as always. Thank you for getting out there, despite the cold. I hope you can get more in, or go to the prairie. I know when the river rises, it happens fast!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Christie, it was absolutely beautiful out - just a little cool. :) That's why we have layers!

[@greatnorthernviews3052]

So fun out there. Such beautiful rocks ❤❤

[@KatyDidRocks]

It was a great day.

[@cvx2dog549]

You sure have the eye for picking out the beautiful rocks even when they are dry!

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thanks! It's awfully fun. :)

[@kendramanuel1276]

Beautiful finds ✌️🫶😃

[@KatyDidRocks]

Thank you! :)

[@joane.landers9151]

When you cut cabachons, do you stick to the standard shapes or do you get creative and freeform your stones. Many years ago sometimes I used to cut freeform cabs and set them into handcrafted sterling jewelry. Had fun watching you hunt along the Yellowstone. Keep up the hunt!

[@susieshobe8524]

Bigger ones would make beautiful paper weights.

[@christianamaglio6391]

❤❤❤❤😮😊

[@kylegawron5358]

ooo a piece of candy, oooo a piece of candy. but with agates

[@KatyDidRocks]

LOL, you're not wrong!

[@user-hm6bn6kw6k]

This is my first time here and I'm loving it, especially since I have some rocks that look just like yours. The rock you're showing at 13:05: What IS that?

[@KatyDidRocks]

Hey there! Thanks for watching. The rock at 13:05 is Montana Agate - a dendritic agate.

[@Judycmm]

Besides the rocks, just love the birds and all the nature sounds, I’m in heaven!!!

[@kylegawron5358]

is jasper tumbleable? and how big d they have to be to fit and polish? i have 2 i think are jasper stones.

[@KatyDidRocks]

It definitely is! It tumbles beautifully.

[@user-ue7cz5ip4n]

Ich möchten nicht dort wohnen :-). Da könnte ich nur noch ein Haus bauen :-) ich schneide meine steine und hölzer nicht auf. Sie sind zu schön. Auch wenn es mich sehr reizt. 😊

[@user-ue7cz5ip4n]

Bei mir sind es feld und haldenfunde. Nach Starkregen liegen hier viele Objekte rum. In der ganzen Zeit, in der ich diese Videos ansehen, gehe ich jedoch auch anders über die Felder. Viel gelernt. Danke!
