Rockhounding Oregon - Newport, Oregon

[@craigmiller4199]

One of the things about getting into rockhounding via my rock obsessed son, it gives new appreciation in seeing things I missed in places I’ve been. I’ve walked that beach and had no idea what treasures lined the walls.

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Come winter time, there should be more treasures on the beach!

[@sandmaker]

Cool! Rocks, bones and wood what a neat haul. I likes the one in the surf first and then the one with the triangle sticking out. Thanks for taking us along. Hunting rocks when it's not so hot Is a good thing. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Yeah it was nice to get away from the heat. Things are cooling down in general now. which is even better.

[@DonohueLabs]

A good day at the beach! Whoever disliked the vid probably digs concretions out of cliffs.

[@WorldofRockhounds]

You are probably right!

[@franktappen]

Well... they got the gold😅

[@TheOldladyB]

That last piece of wood just blows me away. It is stunning.

[@WorldofRockhounds]

I really want to polish it up!

[@momseajay]

Wow! Kyle, you found some awesome stuff!! Love that fin shaped bone piece (the last one you showed)!

[@justjulee9135]

That wood was great! I'm interested to see what you find in your concretions.

[@hockeyrace]

Super great finds! I definitely want to see the video of you breaking open the concretion. Also, a video of, what the rocks you choose to polish up. My favorite of your three, was the little one with the square-ish pattern to it. Like a turtle shell. Very cool! Can you dig out the concretions that are down at the base of the cliff? You walked by a couple and I was thinking, why not pop those out! Hehe. They were pretty much at ground level. Ty for the Great 🎥, Stay Crystal 💫 ❤️

[@WorldofRockhounds]

I will definitely make mini videos of what I chose to polish up. And unfortunately, anything that is in a cliff (including the base of a cliff) is off limits to digging. People can be charged fines for doing so.

[@SunStarsWorld]

Wow, that Torrito* wood with all the texture is amazing!

[@NerdyOlMan]

Thanks for this video! I didn’t know these even existed! I live just up the road a ways so I headed down there today and saw all these in the walls. Unfortunately after walking down the beach a ways looking in the gravel I turned to see people trying to dig them out of the cliffs. Made me sad cuz people just don’t care. Found some cool stuff though! Thanks for the info!!

[@WorldofRockhounds]

You're welcome and that's unfortunate to hear that people are disregarding the rules. I hope they get caught and fined for it because it can leave a negative impact for the rest of us that enjoy the hobby.

[@MrBleworchid]

What beach is this? I live in Eugene and would love to head there someday

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Cool finds! Wow, that formation is really interesting. I wonder how it formed? Also neat is how you could see the large concretions in a layer that tilted down into the earth. Thanks for taking us along on a cool geological adventure!

[@karrazyness]

Teredo Wood is amazing! It was wood, that became part of the marine environment and became inhabited by shipworms. How amazing is it that all of those circumstances came together to form Teredo Wood.

[@WorldofRockhounds]

It really is cool and I was told that it can also take a wonderful polish!

[@karrazyness]

@@WorldofRockhounds , I think it depends on the quality. Some of it is brittle. We have a bunch, ranging in size and quality. There was one by where you were, but only accessible at a super low tide. It was very detailed and way too big to lift. I’m hoping it’s still there this year so I can take pictures. There is another beach with large specimens of both Teredo wood, and a lot of bone. I would be happy to share the location privately somehow.

[@zsong9600]

The formation was really, really interesting.

[@WorldofRockhounds]

It really is!

[@agateenchantmentrockwizard5969]

What a fun adventure, nice job Kyle!

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Thank you!

[@jacksprat9972]

Great Video. Thanks for making it. You found some really cool rocks and I learned a couple new things. The area where you were has been tectonically uplifted because the oceanic plate is subducting 20 km beneath your feet! Your video documents the type of rocks that are found in a very specific geologic environment...that makes you a rock star!

[@TheMineFieldIsOneOfAMine]

Great job mate! Well done & good production! liked & Subed!

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Thank you for compliment and the support! :)

[@soul_adventurist]

Very cool fossils❤

[@WorldofRockhounds]

:)

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Nice video my friend!! Congratulations 😊😊

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Thank you! :)

[@dustinfindsrocks]

I would never dig... some light prying perhaps... 😂 You’re officially willpower Kyle. Dude it’s bugging me several states away. I understand the rule. I even agree with it! But I’m still like... well if they’re already exposed... 😂🤦‍♂️

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Good things come to those who wait. One year I was there and I was looking at the taller cliff with concretions and I saw a fresh divot in the wall. I looked down at the base of the cliffside and found a bowling ball sized concretion. So come winter, there might be more!

[@wilbondcajunrockhound5758]

Sweet beach lots of goodies wood fossils, the last two were really cool, subscribes you

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Thank you for the support!

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Great place. I would want one of the ball concretions and just leave it as a ball! Kind of like an unopened present😀

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Amy's grandparents have one in there garden that is un-cracked. I gaze upon it every time I'm there to ponder, "What's inside?"

[@silverback5033]

An interesting video Kyle, nice to see you holding off on those concretions in the wall. By the look of it you may not have to wait long for son3 of those pieces to erode from the wall on their own. Looks like there is plenty of material to sort through in the mean time. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin

[@WorldofRockhounds]

I'll will watching for them in the winter :) Best time is after a big storm!

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Looks like a good time at the beach. Pretty sure you have a bone there in that flat-ish concretion. Plenty of Teredo wood there, that's for sure and it'll polish nicely in the places where it's not porous. The jaspers there should both take a nice polish and might have some marcasite inside as well. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@Lisa.Sparkman]

Of course we want to know everything! Those were really fascinating finds.

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Looks like I have some work to do. Thank you for watching the adventure!

[@indyanne57]

Could that be a coprolyte, the lump inside the rock?

[@conniewojahn6445]

Rock nuts enjoy!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Might have to change mild Kyle to machine Kyle. You are putting in the work on this channel 💪

[@WorldofRockhounds]

I certainly do what I can but I very much appreciate the compliment :)

[@justingeddis5044]

Are you at Beverly Beach OR

[@RufotrisRootedRockhound]

First! Lol. As if you don’t have enough rocks 😋

[@WorldofRockhounds]

right? haha

[@lynnscott8286]

Great finds. Gives me hope I will find something on a oregon beach

[@WorldofRockhounds]

The more cobble, the better your odds :)

[@paigelee6321]

Interesting not much on fossils but interesting thanks for sharing 😊💙

[@WorldofRockhounds]

I'll be going back in the winter when the sand reveal more cobble :)

[@2HighNoon]

That piece you found in the surf. Just grind down the back a bit to thin it and cut a bit of weight. Then turn it into a keychain. 🏆

[@WorldofRockhounds]

I may need to try and find it haha

[@Cliffwalkerrockhounding]

Ya, those nuggets in the wall thing would drive me nuts.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

😂 same

[@WorldofRockhounds]

They will come out eventually :)

[@lolajo2850]

The small oval rock with the triangle, reminds me of the KZbin one that you made, just a smaller and naturally-made one, of course. 😆 Interesting finds.

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Natures KZbin play button haha

[@alliet.7582]

I'm heading to Newport, OR in October, and I'm very glad I found this video! I did not know messing with the cliffs is illegal, and would have probably gotten myself into trouble!

[@WorldofRockhounds]

I hope you have a nice time! Oregon is beautiful.

[@Ontario_Rockhound]

Cool finds.

[@krombo6137]

It might sound crazy, but lick that last rock where you think it might be bone. If it is you'll know because your tongue will kind of grip it a little. If it sticks it's bone, if it don't it's stone 😀

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Great advice but unfortunately I don't lick rocks haha :)

[@kennethgreene7124]

Above north fork Santiam I found an 85 pound piece of petrified wood that has agate, pink bubbly crystals, quartz and obsidian rapped all around it. I'm going to use my metal detector on it soon cuz I wouldn't be surprised if there is gold in it also

[@2HighNoon]

Next time make a video hunting tat Newport Blue. 😊 across from the airport there are trails down to the beach. ✌️

[@WorldofRockhounds]

I don't think I've found any of that blue yet!

[@Stenko222]

I live in Edmonton AB, Canada. I'd love to go rock hunting there!

[@truongcucmientayct1968]

Chào cả nhà hihi chào bạn

[@WorldofRockhounds]

:)

[@mehmetkupeli2073]

Another great video!

[@OmeletTwelve]

That one of your two favorite finds? (The first one) appears to be fossil coral. We find that in Texas in the Guadalupe dry river bed. Karst limestone bedrock. (count 18:40)

[@WorldofRockhounds]

For that day anyways. Each trip usually results in different favorite finds.

[@teannabisso3847]

I really like your videos if you could just try and slow down on that camera movement that would make it more wonderful😊

[@WorldofRockhounds]

I will do what I can!

[@daphnescott40]

Hello from CoosBay/NorthBend

[@Nervii_Champion]

7:40 looks like it's from a time very long ago, like a collapsed polygonal wall.

[@MattCookOregon]

Any recommendations on a rock cutting saw?

[@WorldofRockhounds]

I always recommend any lapidary saw that is meant for cutting rocks. Just keep in mind that a 10 inch blade cannot cut a 10 inch rock - It's actual cutting depth is less than half of that number and that goes towards any diamond cutting blade. Many people have used tile saws with diamond blades but I don't have recommendations for those at this time.

[@michaelvandyke6715]

I'm guessing whale bone Kyle... Nice find ... I know where there are fossils and dino bone here in Dallas 👌.. In my shop.... Your welcome to swing by anytime to have a look... Most are from Montana...

[@WorldofRockhounds]

It will be nice to make it up to meet you!

[@michaelvandyke]

@@WorldofRockhounds , anytime my friend..

[@doughnutguy82]

Howdy howdy. really enjoyed the video, specially the wood rocks. would you tell me the name of it, so i can do some research of my own on it? my wife and i are heading to that area in mid march and we hope to hit up this beach and hunt

[@WorldofRockhounds]

It's called Teredo wood :)

[@cattatron]

What beach was this specifically!

[@randyheater2488]

Careful, it's against law to dig the rocks from bank on the shoreline.

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Oh I know 🙂 It's a big no-no. Which is why I like to wait for after a big storm to see what came out of the cliff and is at the base of it. I don't want to ruin the hobby for everyone else.

[@ArmChair_Operator]

Was this Beverly beach?

[@WorldofRockhounds]

Yup!

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

I'm on the Oregon coast and took a largish rock and thought I was breaking the law. Now I'm wondering if I was. I'm a not that big of a female. Kinda weak and could carry it myself. So I'm guessing that I was okay taking the rock. I was gathering it to put in a reptile enclosure.

[@AvalonDreamz]

Yea, probably not the best idea to announce where that is to everyone here on KZbin. People don't care about the rules and those are very exposed and way to easy for someone to come along and just take them out in the dead of night. Nice to see though, shows how they form and what they look like in the rock. Thank You.

[@WorldofRockhounds]

I'm not worried about it because of the amount of rockhounding books and online literature that has already listed it way before social media was a thing. Also, In previous videos that I have shown breaking open concretions that I have found on the beach, it shows there isn't really much of anything inside of them so it isn't worth breaking the law to remove it out of the wall.

[@Angrath]

Is it a coprolite at 14:00?

[@WorldofRockhounds]

That's what I'm wondering because there seemed to be little (what looks to be) fossil organic stuff in there. If that's the case, I never found that before on the beach!

[@bassproable]

Isn't that petrified coral

[@WorldofRockhounds]

I think it's a type of wood

[@sherlesmith8414]

Alligator

[@WorldofRockhounds]

:D

[@brianwooton1992]

I am betting that it's a concretion.,

[@geraldinesera8915]

I don't understand your frequent indifference regarding fossils... concretions, etc. Perhaps you already know something we dont know as your audience.
