[@goldenroux612]

I have the exact same Toyota sr5 with over half a million miles. Replace the factory windshield seal or it will rust out the frame. That's some beautiful stuff you found. See you at the Guthrie Govan show in a couple weeks.

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

@@goldenroux612 I'm sitting at just 258k... got it new in '85! Just serviced the frame this summer... Thanks...

[@goldenroux612]

@UncleNudgeRocks Where did you service the frame? Mine is an 86 that I got from the original owner in Poulsbo. It has the typical NW, non salted roads frame rust.

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

@@goldenroux612 I'm speaking of the windshield frame, assume you are too... I had my windshield replaced and watched Brad's Auto Glass in Redmond sand it all down, prime it and replace windshield properly.

Nice finds I think the blue stone 💙 maybe blue Jasper

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

Possibly...

[@Dirt47]

It is. Its 10000000% not jade

[@thegatesofdawn...1386]

Right to my right, visually theres blue 💙 Oh you picked it up! Yay. Cool. That multicolored jasper is wonderful, I'd be stoked to pick that up!

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

Jaspers can be so interesting, glad they are available round here!

Omgosh that's so beautiful I'm in love with a stone 😂

Sweet!

nice bucket of schist and chert.

[@joshballenger3629]

I "dig" your moniker! You search for nepherite? We've found some really interesting stuff on the helena ridge in snohomish county

[@johnnynephrite6147]

@@joshballenger3629 I have some Wa nephrite but I didnt find it myself. I have lots of California nephrite that I did find.

[@joshballenger3629]

@@johnnynephrite6147 nice! Big sur?? Weve found some pretty translucent nepherite up here. A couple guys about 5 yrs ago found a 1 ton boulder worth 500k. Got a have an eye for it but once you do you find it pretty easily

[@markrouse2416]

That green rock looks great including what you left behind. The red stuff is everywhere as far as the places I go to.

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

The super bright red jaspers always get my blood flowing!!!

[@bowenzhou5264]

Some of that red will take a very high polish

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

@@bowenzhou5264 Yes it does!!

[@michaellewandowski7596]

Very cool. I love rock hounding but... not sure I really know what I'm looking at half the time. Lol. I THINK I found a chunk of jasper not long ago and got super excited about that.... but still not sure it is that. Cool vid!

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

I don't know half of what I'm looking at either! There is a free app called google lens to where you snap a quick pic of the rock (flower, etc) and it gives a pretty good guess on what it is. I basically go by look for most rocks, if I like it, I take it... Jade is more of a guess as it generally has a rind on it... take it and grind or cut it open later to see if it's cool or not...

[@Mike-br8vb]

Wow! Awesome material!

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

Glad you like it!

[@Mike-br8vb]

@@UncleNudgeRocks and now subbed!

[@bowenzhou5264]

👍 Great assortment , and very nice on the eyes ! .. looks like a hefty loadout , though (reminder , fellow 'hounds , in uneven riverine terrain like this , watch your knees and your ankles as well as your lower backs)

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

Sometimes I'll make a few trips... and sometimes just plain trip, haha... but yes, be careful folks!!!

Would love to see that very first red jasper you found cut

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

Wonder if I cut it yet or not! Dunno...

[@nicholasnewton6775]

@UncleNudgeRocks if you find it I'd love to see a short video of it.Thank you

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

Found it today... have a vid in mind for the not too distant future...

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

Thank you very much!

[@trollingwashington3487]

What does petrified wood look like cut in half? Can you see rings?

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

Sometimes! Typically, no...

[@thegatesofdawn...1386]

Bonus brown frog sighting.

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

Yep!

[@pennymccormick1308]

Ive recently found a love for rockhounding. Ive always been a hound at heart, but recently fell in LOVE. Please tell me where you found all this beautiful jasper 🥺

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

Seems like every waterway has it's own set of rocks. Just keeping checking different ones till you find a spot you like!!

[@LevinWanzer]

Oh my god the amount of times I seen Arrowheads under the water was insane I haven't been able to find any here in Washington wheres this at?

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

I generally rockhound West side between I90 and North Cascade Highway... Jade is in waterways around Darrington...

[@susanleggieri2342]

Wow! Beauties! What part of Western Washington is this?

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

Thanks! In general, I stay North of I-90 :-)

[@triple_A_rockhound]

Interesting Blue looks like nephate how light hit it

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

Super cool in person :-)

It is probably not jade .. looks like a really nice blue jasper

[@Amanda-yf7vj]

Beautiful finds! But i must say your camera makes me a bit queezy when you move so fast

[@UncleNudgeRocks]

Thanks! I believe I've gotten better slowing down in later vids :-)
