Those three bold boys and your relationships with them are the precious treasures, besides all these rocks are precious, so you are the lucky father and hero for these lovely boys.

[@newyorkrockheads8995]

RL you are really blessed bro..Rockhounding with your two sons..Even if you dont find a thing...Thats a memory you make each time you go...Great Video and Great Finds..

[@RockhoundingLife]

I am truly fortunate that my boys are into it more than me. Its great to have things in common with your children and be able to share experiences together and bond over them. Thanks for watching and Happy new year!!

[@melodyhart1331]

AMAZING TO SEE THE GEOLOGY IN THAT SPOT .

[@RockhoundingLife]

🙏👍😀

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Beautiful wild place. Great crew, educational and meditative. Thanks.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@michigan-ed-ventures]

Beautiful looking place to Hunt, Came out with some awesome keepers also. Happy to see your children Enjoying along with you. Thanks for Sharing

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! You never know with a new beach you haven't been to in awhile but we will definitely be coming back!

[@mitchgillilan]

Crazy awesome stilbite you found there!!! I love the bladed pieces, so many cool zeolites! Great video, I love the jasper agates and the awesome banded agates. Too much cool stuff!! Keep up the great work :)

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!! That Stilbite is actually a rare form of crystal habitat (bladed). And I have never found bladed stilbite crystals that big in a specimen before. I'll be going back for more for sure.

[@lisacooper8240]

it is so amazing to see your two boys loving the thrill of the hunt!

[@RockhoundingLife]

It's awesome that they are into it as much as I am!

[@CityRockhounding]

Really cool area, the history is sad, but a great story. I love all the variety here. Learning new rocks!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Lots of history here. Thanks for watching!

[@jordann4286]

All very lovely pieces you all found! 😊 bet its a blast finding all those beauty's with you're boys. Great hobby to share with you're kiddos! 👍

[@RockhoundingLife]

It's a blast for sure! If they weren't into it as much as I am we probably wouldn't have this channel and I wouldn't be out rockhounding as much myself so I'm grateful that they love it.

[@deanaleonard1647]

Awesome finds. You guys are a great team!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks 👍. Yes we are!

[@shepherd4406]

Very much enjoyed seeing so many rock types I had never seen before. Shout out from The River Mountains, Riverton, Wyoming USA. Glad I found your channel tonight.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Glad you enjoyed it and welcome aboard!

[@TinaHyde]

Agate pipes?! 🤯 I had no idea they even existed!! Bring a jackhammer next time! ⛏ That spot has got some incredible geology going on! 🪨🌊 A really well done video, too. 👏👏👏 I just missed my buddy Travis.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! Travis is in a huge creative mode right now. All he wants to do right now is make crafts and build stuff. It's awesome but cuts into his rockhounding time. His rockhounding hobby plays second fiddle to his artistic hobbies. But he'll be back!

[@gingermackeen5741]

Loved the cliffs and finds! Every boy's dream playground!☺️

[@RockhoundingLife]

Actually they did get distracted from rockhounding quite easily that day. They had the whole beach to themselves.

[@rockinwitht9948]

Such a rugged and beautiful beach! A great adventure day.

[@RockhoundingLife]

It was a nice little spot. A little farther from home but worth it!!

[@HUNG999]

I have accompanied you to the gem hunting experience an enjoyable experience

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for coming along!!

[@LanceDean]

Nice variety of finds!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!!

[@michaelgoldman4423]

Impressive!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!

[@RWOxner]

Wonderful finds. Another spot to add to my rock hounding must visit. Can you do much with the zeolites besides show pieces?🤓

[@pamelabrown3020]

Niiice, guys!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!!

[@laurat5143]

Love that tree rock location, it's a very beautiful place.

[@RockhoundingLife]

It really is!

[@upnorthadventureswithccc]

To have the whole beach to yourself is awesome ! So many beautiful finds. I like the chunky agate your son found !! Like how the water falls from above. Such a great beach ! Enjoyed watching :)

[@RockhoundingLife]

Its a great little spot! We're heading back next season for sure.

[@carinanderson8239]

Beautiful finds, what a great beach. Some really good tumblers in there. That waterfall was cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!! One of the cool features about the Bay of Fundy shore are the high cliffs and waterfalls!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Do I get a prize if I say how many times you said galaxy stone? Haha Well...you only said it twice...but you wrote it three times. The one you found at 5:47 is 🔥✨ 6:05- DAMN those are some wicked stilbite specimens! Nice! The one in question at 6:45 I'm not sure on...but it could be prehnite 8:45- Nice one Chase! You are an agate magnet! 11:24- that one is what we call a sugar agate around here...way cool! Looks like a great spot with loads of goodies and history. Thanks for bringing us along. Cheers boys!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Ha! Felt like a lot more than two times! When we found those bladed stilbite specimens I thought "Marlaina would love these"!

[@DownriverRocks]

Chase’s big agate looks like a chuck of bacon. Great find!

[@RockhoundingLife]

It does!

[@Ken_G.]

Just stumbled upon you in the midst of my binge of rock hounding videos. Gotta say, up there in Nova Scotia with the Leafs gear is pretty bold. Go Habs! Love this stuff, so glad to see someone getting their kids into it, rock on guys.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Believe it or not it's about 50/50 leafs to Habs fans around these parts. Lots of bruins fans too.

[@Ken_G.]

I come from Bruin country myself, grew up in Northern New Hampshire but was always a Montreal fan. On a good night I could pick up a game on my radio when I was a kid and it was a clear enough night.

[@NWRockExplorer]

Awesome finds as always!! all we have in the basalt in my area is epidote and quartz but you do find the odd agate in the river which travel about 400 km before they get here haha.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!!

[@kennethchristie5167]

Agate pipes are amazing 👏

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes they are!! I only wish I cold have seen what they looked like outside of the host rock.

Such amazing locations to be seen out there go get you some ~>

[@RockhoundingLife]

You can rest assured that we definitely will be!!!

[@judyherman5470]

Absolutely amazing place and I love the waterfall. Such gorgeous finds too. That one light green stone looks like it might be Epidote with amethyst center?

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! The Bay of Fundy coastline is beautiful!

[@followingmypath3144]

Drooling over all your finds, every video LOL 21:10 could it be a prehnite? I've similar basalt on Keweenaw Peninsula...

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!! You are the second person to suggest Prehnite on that piece. I'll be looking into it!!

[@alczek]

What great beaches you have to rockhound. Great rocks and appreciate you have captions with the video educating at least me. Have you or any other rockhounds use an angle grinder to cut rocks? I got a 10" saw for cutting but won't bother to take it out of the box until spring since I'll have to do that outside. I'm in Northern Michigan. In the meantime I'm thinking of using my angle grinder in the basement to cut small rocks. All you guys cutting rocks have me anxious to do so.

[@RockhoundingLife]

I personally don't use an angle grinder but I know other KZbinrs that do. An angle grinder would be good if you want to have a smooth surface on a bigger rock that is too big for a tumbler. I cut slabs and then use the DIY set up for polishing that I showed in my polishing rocks video. Be careful using the angle grinder in your basement as it will create alot of dust and you don;t want anyone breathing that in.

[@dianerhymes1875]

Your "not sure" rocks are Perocite aka Pretty Rock ite. Hehehe!😄

[@RockhoundingLife]

🤣💯

[@melodyhart1331]

You should always bring a small UV light ,you never know where glowing rocks might turn op .

[@RockhoundingLife]

I had a UV light but it broke not too long ago. I just haven't gotten around to replacing it. To my knowledge our beaches don't have very many glowing rocks but you never know, its worth a shot!

[@trptrungblogs]

❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍💎💎🇻🇳

[@melodyhart1331]

What was that little blue one ? 12:07 in the video !

[@RockhoundingLife]

I'm not entirely sure what makes up the blue part. The red is jasper with quartz. The blue/green could be a bit of malachite. You can find native copper in the cliffs of the Bay of Fundy.

[@MsSandraCGL]

do you sell tumbled rocks?

[@RockhoundingLife]

Not yet

[@mrs.americanmade7452]

Music is annoying when trying to hear you

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for the comment. I will try to correct that in future videos!
