[@jaredreed2841]

Welcome to the state! Look forward to seeing some of your future hunts here in my home state! Colorado has a ton of places to rockhound!

[@theruggedrockhound]

Sounds great! Will have to meet up with you sometime, probably when it warms up again

[@jaredreed2841]

@@theruggedrockhound would love to meet up and go rockhounding some time. I used to manage a team in grand junction but never got to do much rock hounding out that way. I have heard some good stories about finds over in the western slope though!!! Love your channel.

[@theruggedrockhound]

@@jaredreed2841 Thanks for the info! I look forward to exploring and seeing what I can find. Let me know if you make it out this way!

[@jeytex3161]

Wow, you have a whole new area to explore and still able to reach back towards old stomping grounds! Congrats on the job and your future! Happy for you both!

[@theruggedrockhound]

Thank you so much! I really couldn't have asked for a better location for rockhounding

[@jasonhenderson5642]

Happy for you and the new job. You will be amazing at STEM! Was that an Aggie sweatshirt you had on? I am in Logan.

[@theruggedrockhound]

It was! I didn't attend, but my brother did!

[@fishinfool]

Congrats on new job. Hope it works out well. I’m looking forward to seeing what you are able to find in that area.

[@theruggedrockhound]

Thanks!

[@adventuresamNfam]

I-70? I am going to assume I-70 cause I had some friends who lived out in Mack. I love your channel I get to see home! I am familiar with a lot of places you go, and I miss it soooooo sooooo much!

[@theruggedrockhound]

Yes! Thank you! I didn't catch that mistake before making the video. Glad you enjoyed!

[@adventuresamNfam]

@@theruggedrockhound oh man! Sorry I had to run to the store. I just finished the video and congratulations!!! That’s awesome there’s tons of good hounding around there!

[@theruggedrockhound]

@@adventuresamNfam Thanks!

[@Serpents-Ridege-Lapidary]

Congratulations on the new Job. Lots of good Rockhounding in the area. If you're ever looking for people to go hounding with let me know. We go out most weekends

[@theruggedrockhound]

Sweet! I will let you know. These first few weeks are a bit crazy with the move abs the job, but I hope to get out after Thanksgiving week as long a the weather permits

[@Serpents-Ridege-Lapidary]

@@theruggedrockhound sounds good 👍

[@theruggedrockhound]

@@Serpents-Ridege-Lapidary Now that I am finally getting over the illness, I will let you know if I manage to get out in these upcoming weeks. May be difficult due to the holiday, but I will try

[@Serpents-Ridege-Lapidary]

@The Rugged Rockhound sounds good, we will spending time in the dessert from Cisco to the Swell as long as it's not too muddy.

[@Serpents-Ridege-Lapidary]

do you have a email or Facebook to message back and forth?

[@quarterlimit5838]

Congrats on your new job! Thank you for always putting the coordinates up, it makes our homeschooling adventure much easier to plan out.

[@theruggedrockhound]

Absolutely! I wanted my channel to be about adventures that everyone can enjoy

[@gbman8940]

Congratulations on your new job! Hope to see you still hounding in Utah!

[@theruggedrockhound]

Don't worry, I still have quite a list of places to go in Utah that are all within 2 hours of grand junction

[@frankchenoweth5405]

So thats interstate 70 instead 40 isn't it?

[@KissingEmbers]

1:59 that's a piece of Dino bone well at least petrified bone not specifically dinos 😁. You find it all throughout red canyon. I have a few knuckle areas I can send you pictures of, as proof.... blue bones.

[@theruggedrockhound]

Yeah, I realized it later that it was probably bone. Thanks for the info!

[@largent45]

Congrats on the new job and the move to colorado.. The material was pretty. The jasper was gorgeous! And Grand junction is really nice and i love colorado! And its mineral rich! best of luck with housing and i hope it all works out well!

[@theruggedrockhound]

Thanks so much!

[@gregderksen1996]

Hey congratulations on the new job! Hope you find a place big enough so you don’t have to pare down your collection!😂.

[@theruggedrockhound]

Haha that was a concern. Thankfully, we found a place where I can fit it all in with room to spare!

[@bryanolsen5764]

It's interstate 70 just over the utah boarder right

[@theruggedrockhound]

Yes, I-70

[@alicemiller3139]

Two questions. Are you a geologist? I heard you will be in a new Stem teaching job so good for you! Second, I gather your wife doesn’t share your rock hounding adventures. I really enjoy your channel and knowledge! Thank you!

[@theruggedrockhound]

Yes, I am a geologist, although it has been five years since I worked as a geologist. I am currently a STEM educator for the Department of Energy. My wife enjoys seeing the beautiful stuff I find, but doesn't have much interest in the hunting and collecting part.

[@7777penda]

Thanks for sharing the videos - it would really be helpful if you video slower So we can actually focus on what you’re showing us. Thanks so much.

[@BlazingShackles]

Of course the video where you openly share the location is a total bust.

[@theruggedrockhound]

Unfortunately on this trip, yes. But check out some of the other ones, I do show several good locations! Mostly when I don't show it is because someone else showed me and asked that I don't share the location.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Congratulations on your new job 👍🏽 hit me up with your new address sometime

[@theruggedrockhound]

Will do!
