Rockhounding Rough Gems in a Beautiful Creek

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Happy hounding my rock familam!!! Please send Pauly some love over on his channel, and on Instagram I highly recommend rockcyclelapidary for some amazing lapidary and jewellery goodness! The dude is a legend! All links in the description. Until next time, stay safe, be kind, and keep bein awesome! Much love from mine to yours. 🐺

[@Onikuma79]

I used to collect rocks alot but kinda drifted away from it. But after watching your videos and seeing you like a kid in a candy store I got the itch again. Been twice in a week and have a 5 gallon bucket full. I still dont know enough about it to know that I dont know enough about it lol. But they're pretty and fun. Keep up the good work man. Your videos are some of the best on here

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Hahaha! “I still don’t know enough about it to know that I don’t know enough about it” hahaha! Oh man that is brilliant! To be honest, of all the info out there brother I know not even the tiniest of what I should by now haha. Just loving the slow learning and adventures. Man I’m so stoked you went and got back out there into it! That makes me stoked mate!

[@seanparchim9165]

I used to go creek walking as a kid some as a young adult and now in my early 50's have began to explore once again,forgot how theriputic it was,so watching your videos takes me back to thanks mate

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Oh man Sean that’s so cool to hear mate. My nana used to fossick but I never knew as a kid, or as a teenager probably thought I was too cool, but as an adult I’ve found it is my greatest therapy. It’s peaceful and brings out the connection with that inner kid. Just big kids in the water. What’s better 👍

[@AgateDad]

Good haul guys!! Those waterline agates are insane, just love them! Excited to go check out Pauls channel...i know what I'm doing today! #Bingewatching

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Cheers brother!!!!! Bout to watch your vid now!

[@aprilMaeD]

I am even more excited when my kids pull something. Its so awesome when you have company! :) PS -- I lol'd at the weirdo's comment! That was great comedy!

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Haha! Yeah, total weirdos 🤦‍♂️😂 I agree though, getting out with others makes anything anyone finds exciting hey. I hope you’re doing well April, happy hounding!!!!

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Looks like candy. Paula is a fun guy....good friend. Thanks.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Yeah he’s an absolute mushroom... get it... fungi. “Fun guy” haha. So sorry I had to do it. The worst dad joke 🤣😂

[@rockinwitht9948]

Not a cliffhanger !!!!! It’s like waiting for Xmas... 14 more sleeps !! Seriously, I had so much fun watching this; you and Paulie are a comedy duo. And that waterline agate Paulie found was amazing!! And the one you found with those tubey things (yes I’m all about actual words lol) was insane!! What a fun day!!! You guys pulled me out of a funk today...you rock Rookie!

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Oh T! Hearing we pulled you out of a funk makes me so happy! I have them days also. Haha, yeah when I’m out there it’s like my words don’t work haha. I hope you have a great week ahead 😁

Super stones and adventure every time 😊 Thanks for the great video, I am happy when I watch. I will wait for the next video when you clean them. 🙂🙂🙂🙂😊😊😊

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Thank you 🙏😊

[@biscuitEMT]

"Chalcedony ninjas" indeed! Did you know we have the exact same chalcedonies and agates here in Oregon? Only I find them in the desert, not in creeks. It's so cool to see you picking up exactly what I get excited to pick up too, half the world away!

[@deegingerkid]

I'm over on the coast! We can get some spectacular stuff here too. Occasionally get those waterline agates. Many times they're the banded concentric ones.

[@biscuitEMT]

@@deegingerkid Do you know, I have never found a thing at the coast or even in the rivers! But I was born in the Mojave and maybe only the climate-kindred ones appear to me. I need the smell of sage to accompany my expeditions! Do you ever find zeolites on the coast? I've heard it's good zeolite hunting there. I usually just find beat-up ones on railbeds.

[@deegingerkid]

@@biscuitEMT - the best zeolite I know of are up north near Cape Meares. Look for a spot called Short Beach. Lots of chalcedony still in the host basalt. Huge pieces sometimes. Gotta go at low tide and walk north up the beach towards the big rock pile and beyond. All sorts there. A gorgeous dark green jasper is common up there too. I have many pounds of agate and jasper and jasp/ag from the beaches. Best hunting is in-between Newport and Florence before you get to the dunes.

[@biscuitEMT]

@@deegingerkid Sweet info, thank you! Will definitely investigate! Ever tried any of the I-84 canyons? A chalcedony cornucopia!

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

biscuitEMT Haha! Yeah, i got that cause when we walk slow in the calm water we try not to make ripples and I said to Pauly, “I feel like we’re ninjas” haha! I was amazed at how many places in the word have exactly the same material when I first found that out. I like it, it’s like there’s a link to each place and each rockhound 😉

[@margiebrown7436]

Another awesome video. Thank you for the distraction. It is such a great way to relax. I have no place like that close to me so it is really nice to be able to go along with you. ♥️

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Oh thank you Margie, I’m glad you are able to escape and join us on the creek. I hope you have a great weekend. Take care, Jesse

[@rdjdik912]

Awesome finds! Just got back from rockhounding in the local creek. Found some beauties!✌💚

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Yeah sweeet! Nice work Brandy Joe!

[@deegingerkid]

Jesse! Another great vid. Always super excited to see an upload from you. The waterline that both you and Pauly found were EPIC. The first time I saw waterline, that's what someone called it, and it stuck for me. I definitely gasped more than once at your finds. Looking forward to the next one as always. These vids are a bright spot in my world. Thank you!

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Oh man “these videos are a bright spot in my day”.... man. Humbled beyond belief. That’s too kind mate. Thank you 👍

[@KatyDidRocks]

So happy to see another Rookie video! Also, HI PAULY! OK, watching...

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

I hope you enjoy it Kate, I missed being out there with the boys. Benny’s been super busy with work and family lately but itching to hit the creeks with him again soon. Have a great weekend!!!!!!!

[@TinaHyde]

Another beautiful video, Jesse! And I love that you use the same term that I do for the little ‘weirdos’! And dirty fingernails is the mark of a serious rockhound! Well, that, and no longer having fingerprints on either thumb from rock rubbing! 😄

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Hahaha! Hey Tina!!!! Exactly, you can look at my fingernails and tell I’ve been hounding. All scratched up and indicating goodtimes have been had 😊😉

[@betojdesigns]

Aw, Frookie, todays video feels like a return to normal 😊. Something we haven’t had in a long while. So glad to see you and Pauly out having a good time out in the creek. Look forward to seeing those little beauties cleaned up.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

betojdesigns Aw, I like that. Normal. How good does that sound these days. Yeah, that really was kind to hear. Thank you, now we just need Benny back in the water and we’ll be set 😁

[@betojdesigns]

Rookie Rockhounding Yes, well close to normal as we can be. Yes, I want my Benny back, Benny back. Somehow I thought of the Chili’s jingle. 🙃 I saw Jeremy Wade show Dark Waters, he was in New Zealand walking along the river and saw a platypus. It brought back memories of your video. Very rare to see them I heard.

[@isabelgranados8176]

Ohh it looks like a fairy tale

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Ohhhhh what a rad way to describe it. It really is like that out there. We’re fully grown men who get so excited the night before a planned rock hunt. Haha.

[@katherinedoughty839]

What a fun time you guys had. Some really unique finds! Hounding creeks looks so much easier than digging rocks out of flippin concrete dirt.. lol 😆 Looks like it's still green down there..nice! 👍

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Haha!!! Hey Kath, yeah definitely easier 🤣 But yeah it’s nice and green down there. One of my favourite places other than it being in bloody NSW... haha! Queenslander!!!!!!

[@katherinedoughty839]

Hey! Jesse...yeah certainly is a beautiful place even if it is NSW🤭😊🍌1 👍

[@virginiarocks]

7:00 wormy inclusions 🤓. And what I’ve read about waterline ~ the silica dissolves in the ancient waters, and fills in gaps in the host rock slowly and in stages. For each stage, some silica settles out forming white levels we see as the lines. The next level forms later due to changing pressure/heat/environmental conditions and the next level forms either until the gap is full or the final level is filled all at once so it looks to be all clear at the top of the nodule. Something like that (I’d have to go look for the source materials but I’m chillaxing on my days off watching fossicking videos). 😎

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Hey thank you Anita! I really should know more, I learn a bunch from here in the comments from good people like you. Thank you

[@virginiarocks]

Rookie Rockhounding me, too. Then I look things up where I can. Btw. Just inclusions. That look like worms. 😇. My basement now has as much rock as I plan to store for processing, so enjoying the creek fun vicariously here.

[@silverback5033]

Hi Jesse, good to see you and "Paul the Rockhound" out in the creek, just a couple of "weirdos" doing a bit of duck diving in the creek, completely normal to me 😳😳. I just had a thought, its like two of those glass bird desk ornaments with fluid in them continually dipping down and up, except it's two grown men doing it in a creek, nothing strange about that, 😂😂😂. I missed to the opportunity to slip in to NSW while I could and now I could be waiting for months to get there, &@$)@! Oh well just have to keep searching SEQueensland. An old mate of mine has a property at Cloyna that I have not been to since he moved there 15 years ago, so I am going to try and make a trip up there. He said his kids were always waking in with pieces of coloured stone, sounds interesting. Could be interesting. As always good video Jess, great pieces, it's like watching a few mates wandering around having a bit of fun. Looking forward to the next creek. Keep Safe & Keep Well. P.S. All our best to Rhonda, Dave & family. Hope young will gets back to his normal self.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Silverback Hahahaha!!! Oh man I know exactly the bird things you’re talking about hahaha! That made me laugh mate. Oh no! I was really lucky to get down there on this camp trip. It was the weekend just before they closed the boarder. 😳😷 I’m devastated though, there’s so much down there I want to explore too! Not sure how long it’ll be. Man that place at Cloyna sounds super interesting! And on a property where you know the owner. Now that’s perfect for relaxed hounding. Let me know how you go my friend. Was gonna do some cutting today but it’s too windy to film, it’s nuts out there! Stay safe mate, and I’ll pass that on to Rhondda and Dave also. Thank you mate. Have a great rest of the weekend 👍

Do you guys have water snakes? Thanks for this journey, my week has been awful. What a nice gift from that fella. I really miss hounding, it's so hot and fires everywhere, so thank you again my Aussie friend.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Oh icatz, I’m thinking of you guys over there. I’m guessing you mean Cali? I’ve heard a bit about it and it’s like anytime anything happens to California or even the states, I feel sad, I was born in Cali so it’s like my home country is suffering. I hope your week gets better. This year has been more than what we all needed I think. As for the snakes, our snakes are mostly land snakes but in summer they all love the water and can swim too. That’s when it gets scary. But winter time like right now is pretty okay. Stay safe over there my friend.

[@icatz]

@@Rookie_Rockounding I'm in AZ, the state next door to CA. We're having new fires almost every day all summer, some quite serious, but you don't hear about us cause we're not California. But both states are in severe drought so we're both screwed. Then we've got this insane political crap going on and covid. And of course, personal problems. Things better improve or I'm gonna fire everyone. I guess the sea snakes are the poisonous ones. Good hounding, mate. Take care. x

[@BackcountrywithShaughn]

Howdy RR, thanks for sharing another meander through your special neck of the woods my friend!🤷‍♂️ Relaxing days spent searching creeks and streams for special little treasures from MO earth are truly special times for me and it looked like another good one for you and Pauly too! (great to see him) 👍 TBH, hasn't been a single time where I was out hunting rocks where my mind could dwell on any negative thing, as soon as I start hunting, all the stress, anxiety and everything else negative seems to just melt away like shaved ice on a hot day and am left with nothing but the purity of the hunt, my eye's darting back and forth desperately searching for that next magically delicious specimen like some crazed predator out to add another prey to the collection! Mouth watering chunks of goodness just waiting for someone to take em home and love em up real good~ Anyway, looked like you had a really nice time and am thankful that you shared the adventure with the rest of us nerdy rock starved youtubers! Have a super weekend ahead my friend~

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Backcountry with Shaughn Well hells bells Shaughn, I don’t think there’s a rock nerd out there who could have put that better. That is by far the exact reason we do it right. So well put.

From waking up early to coming home refreshed pockets full, and everything in between. Just priceless. I hope you have a great weekend brother. And a safe and happy week ahead.

the worms in the chert and quartz are called " foliation" caused by forming with impurities under pressure or squeezed in later. I think

Beautiful rocks! Where in NSW are you near? My son-in-law is from NSW.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

So we’re from the Gold Coast in Queensland but we head down to northern rivers areas. It’s such a beautiful area. 😉

Nice finds guys

[@v10dodge87]

I'm in the US and I say water line or banding. Never heard water level before unless to describe the high water marks along rivers and lakes.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

v10dodge87 Oh really, yeah see I think it must be a regional thing. You find it a lot in rock terms in different parts of the world. Cheers mate 👍

[@andersongeorge7591]

Man I'm sorry I couldn't watch you much due to my online schooling! Thank you so much for making these and nice pieces! Also I love you guys even if I don't get to watch you much!🖤🖤🖤

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Anderson George Aye! Man absolutely no worries at all Anderson. Don’t ever feel pressure hey. The videos aren’t going anywhere 😁👍 I hope the studies are going well mate.

[@andersongeorge7591]

@@Rookie_Rockounding They are but I'm watching you very late so I might have to get some sleep because I have to wake up at 7:30 maybe earlier maybe later.

[@KatyDidRocks]

RE: Waterline/water level. I looked it up, because I've always said waterline. Apparently they are both correct - I wonder if it's a regional thing.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

KatyDid Haha yeah over here it’s water line, or that’s what I’ve been exposed to where as in other places it’s water level. I hear others say water level more now that it’s entered my vocabulary haha. Which is a good thing. I guess you could say I’m bi-lingual. Well, for rock names anyway 🤣

Wormy looking bits are dendritic formations??

Very very good video

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Thank you 🙏✨

[@planbeeapiaries]

What kind of critters do you have to watch out for over there?

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Hey mate, we have a bucket load of nasty little critters over here. But mostly only in summer time. In winter they’re less active and more sleepy. Thank you so much for the donation to Rhondda too mate. Really appreciate it massively.

[@planbeeapiaries]

@@Rookie_Rockounding least I can do.

[@stephanierocks8503]

You all made me laugh and smile. Love how Pauly says "garage" 😆 What time of the day did you start out? (Oh! I just heard a cow!)

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

We started around 8:30 in the morning. Yeah it’s a different sound in 𝖠𝗎𝗌𝗍𝗋𝖺𝗅𝗂𝖺𝗇 isn’t it haha

[@allysonhean4204]

Lots of pretties boys. Please polish!💓🙏

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Thank you Allyson, so sorry for the late upload 😬 I forgot to add Pauly’s one at the end and only realised it at the last minute 🤦‍♂️ Polishing will begin this weekend but the video might be a couple weeks or a little bit more in the making. It’ll happen though, promise 😉 Have a great weekend!!!!!

[@jamesmeisenzahl3486]

I have some material I collected in the tennessee wonder how I can send u a picture of and maybe some advise on where I can make the right cuts and polish it to show off the rock best

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Maybe try on reddit there’s a good place to post rocks you don’t know about and that others will try and help out. Or on a face book lapidary or rockhounding page maybe? They’ll be able to help heaps better.
