We recently surpassed 1000 subscribers and we couldn't be more motivated to bring you future content! A big THANK YOU to all of our subscribers for all of your continued support to our channel. We are very grateful! What started out as entertainment for the boys has turned into something that we all have come to really enjoy doing together! Now we just want to share what our neck of the woods has to offer with the rest of the rockhounding world! What better way to celebrate 1000 than to release a video of us rockhounding at our favorite beach to find agates, a world class agate finding location....Scots Bay Beach. This is a two part video so stay tuned for the second day of rockhounding this amazing beach in a couple of weeks! Thanks again everyone and have a great week and weekend living that rockhounding life!!! Jason, Nolan, Chase & Travis (Rockhounding Life)

[@littleSallyJo]

You MADE IT!!! Before Christmas, too!! Congratulations--so glad for you!!

[@SNancyhere]

I couldn't ask for more than a fine day on the beach rockhounding with my family ❤

[@RockhoundingLife]

The best!

[@pamelabrown3020]

Love that first one that Nolan found! Like finding a natural pearl.

[@RockhoundingLife]

It's pretty cool. Nolan usually finds the first good find every hunt!

[@leifandsorennordgren1054]

some absolutely stunning finds - what gorgeous agates and the color variety is delicious!

[@stephanierocks8503]

What an incredible beach! It just keeps giving and giving. I love that ink spot agate.

[@lilalightandlove421]

What an incredible rockhounding day! I’ve never seen so many different and colorful agates found in a video. Congrats on your finds!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you very much!

[@tanekarnes5260]

Great finds! I believe you did find all the colors😃great umblers, all types of agates. awesome you take your kids too.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! 👍

[@oneofakind6313]

watched again.. the pictures at the end of the videos showing the cleaned up shiny agates is good to see so we can learn for when we go out and look at beaches

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks Donald. A good tip I can give you for Scots bay beach is to go a couple hours after high tide as the tide is going out. The rocks are wet and easier to spot the color. Rocks are just as good at the high water mark as they are towards low tide.

[@Debbie4729]

So cool that you are with your kids,sharing this.These are the best memories!

[@RockhoundingLife]

They really are!! And documenting it let's us relive them!

[@Mike-br8vb]

Epic hunt! Great family time!

[@moonstruck581]

Love the pink Agate, never seen anything like that before. All of your Agates are extraordinary.

[@RockhoundingLife]

We are very lucky to have this beach so close to us!

[@RocksForBrains]

Wow, this is such a great spot! The diversity of rocks there is incredible. Putting this locale on the ‘rock bucket list’ 😉 Thanks for sharing! 😁

[@RockhoundingLife]

Its a great beach! I've been going there for 20 years and I can still find things I've never seen before.

[@hilario6960]

Nolan ! The first agate you found, with the bubble is the coolest rock I've seen in a long time.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Nolan usually finds one of the, or THE, best find of the day in the first couple minutes of every hunt!

[@robmeyer8470]

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! My boys are the ones who wanted to start the channel! I'm glad we did!

[@carinanderson8239]

Wow! Beautiful rocks, great tumbling material! You guys are going to be busy polishing those.😄 I vacationed in Nova Scotia years ago in Digby. I wasn’t into rock hounding then, but I did bring home some scallop shells that I still have. Such gorgeous agates and jaspers, I would have brought home buckets of rocks.😂 You always show rocks I have never seen before. Ink spot agate and pink lace agate are wonderful. I love the sagenite agate. I also loved that green conglomerate stone, whatever it was. Plus the amazing petrified cycads, well done Nolan! Thanks for sharing your wonderful day.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Digby has some nice rockhounding spots. Its a bit too far for us to make there and back in a day.

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Wow! Wonderful rocks. Nolan’s “pearl” is the coolest specimen. Happy New Year😀

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks and Happy Holidays to you!!

[@upnorthadventureswithccc]

So nice to see yous were able to get out in December. So many amazing finds. Love the eye agate in the host rock. I find them often in Upper Michigan !! Such a great variety of Agates. Enjoyed watching :)

[@RockhoundingLife]

The eye agate in the host rock was really surprising and cool. We've never found one like it before. Snowing hard here now. First one of the year.😢

[@geosobservations9496]

[@AgateAngler]

Congrats on hitting 1000!!! You guys deserve it for sure, and you'll be breaking more milestones in the future. In the meantime, this was an epic hunt, I might have to put this spot on my life list.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!!! I think its only fitting that the Agate Angler should eventually visit this agate filled beach in Nova Scotia!

[@skorpian34]

Some gorgeous finds. I wish we found rocks that nice when we went. But, we will be back!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Believe it or not there are certain sweet spots on that beach that i've figured out hold a few more agates for some reason than others. It's weird but there are agates all over that beach. You can dig for them as well.

[@tonyarowe9161]

Wow, amazing finds, so beautiful and the colors are outstanding I'm definitely gonna head to Canada for rock hounding. Thanks for the video

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays!!

[@pamelabrown3020]

Just the video I needed this morning, since it is sleet-snowing in Montana. You guys have great eyes and great beaches!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Its funny you should say that...we are currently in our first snowfall of the year and its a doozy!!

[@gingermackeen5741]

[@marsharamsay2793]

Hi guys I just subscribed to your channel. Its nice to see amazing rocks in Canada. I'm from alberta so I don't get to rock hound by the ocean so I will settle watching you and your boys find amazing rocks. Didn't know we had such cool rocks. Keep up the great finds and I'm going to binge watch all your other videos. I'm new to this and am glad there's videos on this. Keeps me calm and relaxed watching in this crazy world. Thanks guys.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Awesome!! Thanks for coming along!! My wife and I lived in Calgary before the boys were born. We liked Alberta. Got to go to Drumheller a few times which was really cool!

[@followingmypath3144]

You convinced me - I want to move to Nova Scotia LOL! Fantastic scenery, mild winters, beautiful rocks, precious agates - sounds like heaven to me :))) Congrats on the channel milestone! Keep them coming and show more of the surrounding landscapes for us, stuck in US :)))

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! I should have knocked on wood in the video.....snowing for the first time this year here right now 😢

[@RockhoundingLife]

I'll be here waiting to take you out buddy!

[@RockHoundingAdventures]

Great hunting video. Their all great finds but my favorites are 1:23, 9:00, and 12:47. Is that a Jasper at 6:08? It’s beautiful and love that unique yellow tone. Congratulations 🍾🎉 on hitting the 1k mark. 🤘🤙🔥

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!! The rock at 6:08 is a seam agate with a yellow tinge to it. So technically yes I think you could call it a jasper. Thanks for watching!🙌🙏

[@offyarocka]

i recently found a few of those agates in the brown host rock and when i showed a friend he aid they looked like baby dragon doo doo hahahahahaha i sacrificed one to explore with a dremel and had alot fun liberating the the little agates🤘🤪🤘

[@victoriabryer4710]

The only agates and other beautiful specimens I have access to are in Crystals shops. Where the "mystical properties" are more important then the locality and formation of the rock. We I buy them they come with a little card saying that it promotes creativity, confidence, willpower and on and on. Cleanse it with, put it in the moonlight, sleep with it under your pillows. I just nod and say thank you. They're just pretty rocks to me. I'm so jealous that my part of lake Ontario doesn't have any agates.

[@velvetkytten]

that ink agate is epic.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Its my favorite from that day! I think the black is black opal.

[@michelleangers342]

What amazing beauty!!!

[@RockhoundingLife]

💯💥

[@tinacloutier7654]

Beautiful agates!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@marteagleeye]

Many great pics on that day wich beach was that ? Never spot this one yet second trip this week end we Heading up ther for a week. What are the best beaches to pick with easy acces ?

[@RockhoundingLife]

This is Scot's Bay beach

[@littleSallyJo]

Incredible colors today!! All the colors!!! I'd love to see this batch again after tumbling!! Possible?

[@RockhoundingLife]

Oh yes! These will all likely be in a future tumbling rocks video!

[@CanadianSledDog]

I used to collect gorgeous rocks from BC riverbeds, blue and red quartz, found black quartz and crystalline chandelier quartz in the Alberta badlands once. Then I had way more rocks than I knew what to do with! What do you do with them all?

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thats amazing! Most of our rocks end up in our rock garden outside. Others we use to make jewelry. Some we gove away. A lot sit in buckets in my garage lol!

[@hobbyhandle]

The best agate beach in the world?...wow...ok dude...cool rocks..good finds

[@RockhoundingLife]

As far as the combination of quantity, quality and variety I'd put the Nova Scotia Bay of Fundy shore up against any beach. Thanks for watching

[@shirineromankurth1633]

Very nice and interesting video. I am finding beautiful stones at the beach but have a very hard time to determine what they are and therefore how to enhance them, which one to open, how to polish some of them, can be all be polished etc.. I am a beginner and feel frustrated 😔.

[@RockhoundingLife]

It can take years of experience in identifying rocks. I recommend you get with some of your local rock groups and interact with the members to determine what rocks they are finding in your area.

[@grantfahlman1815]

Hey guys, congratulations on the channel milestone. It's cool to see how different many of those agates are from what comes out of Montana. Do you ever find "super-size" ones like Alex and Kate do? Any petrified wood out there?

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! Our agate nodules tend to be on the medium to small size here in Nova Scotia. But there are soooo many and the variety is countless. Great tumbling material. Our seam agates however are HUGE! Nova Scotia is very famous for its seam agates. Golden Flame Seam Agate, Red Flame Seam Agate, Cherry Plume Seam Agate. We have a few videos which feature them. We also have petrified wood but it looks a lot different than the stuff in Montana. Our pet wood is heavily silicated and agatized. We also have a few videos featuring those as well!

[@seasidepaper]

I go for a two hour beach walk about every second day. If I found an agate I will think I died and went to heaven lol

[@RockhoundingLife]

😆 🤣 you just need to walk on the right beach!!

[@barbarawisdom56]

So beautiful would love to come up there to rock hunt

[@RockhoundingLife]

I can say for certain that you wouldn't regret it if you did!

[@kksrocks5204]

Oh man! I want some of your beach finds! I wish I had some to trade with you. You have such beautiful agates and jaspers! I live in Oregon but I can't get out to find many due to some disabilities. I tumble and now have a small slant lap so I stay busy :-) P.S. my ancestry is in Nova Scotia (French that went to Louisiana) so I love the scenery and history there.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Oh cool...so you are a descendant from the Acadians who were expelled by the British to Louisiana? I have an Acadian ancestor as well. The areas where we rockhound along the Bay of fundy are the original areas and settlements where the Acadiana lived in NS. In one of our videos I a tussle talk about in of the spots (Morden Beach and the French cross)

[@kksrocks5204]

@@RockhoundingLife yes! That's the history for sure! My paternal Cajun kin down in Louisiana are very French. I did the DNA test and I have two 4th cousins in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and many farther distant cousins all over Canada. Those were some incredibly brave and strong people who lived through all of that.

[@RockhoundingLife]

@@kksrocks5204 Its was shame what happened to those people. A horror story really.

[@oneofakind6313]

that black looks like obsidian ...

[@RockhoundingLife]

It definitely has that look. But I think its black opal. I asked around on my local Facebook groups and it's a material they call ink spot agate. It's essentially white and black opal.

[@johnnybfan]

Great video! I'd think I died & went to heaven if I had a beach like yours to pick. :) What is the rock at 15:46? I've never seen anything like it.

[@RockhoundingLife]

I'm not sure to be honest. I think its some sort of intrusive igneous rock but I haven't examined it too closely since bringing it home. But I will now though and get back to you!!

[@mariehillard1742]

Do you find that when you cut these stones a lot of them are fractured?

[@RockhoundingLife]

On this particular beach most of the agate nodules are not fractured when we cut them. The reason being that the source is not that far from this beach. There are other spots along the Bay of Fundy where the rocks need to travel a bit farther to get there and you can see the fracturing.

[@Cliffwalkerrockhounding]

3:28 Looks like a black opal inclusion. Good day for a hound, nice finds!

[@RockhoundingLife]

You're right!! The whole thing had an opal like texture and look to it. There is banding in it as well. Its one of the coolest rocks we've found there.
