Stunning Stones Secretly Shining All Around My Toes

Stunning agates, jaspers, petrified wood and more! These stones cover the gravels of the Yellowstone River in Montana and the best of them seem to sometimes be hidden in plain sight. How many of these treasured rocks do we step right over as we walk or hike over the gravels? I know sometimes I may walk right over a gorgeous agate more than once and completely miss it.
I always get asked where I get my water spray bottle from...so I thought I would post a link to Amazon for it....

Looking to learn about Yellowstone River agates? This is a publication from 1972 by a man named Paul Fry. This was the very first literature I read when I was learning about Montana agates. It is called "Meanderings of a Montana Rockhound" and it is priceless:

Once again you find the most spectatular rocks. I thought I heard a rumble in the background as you crossed the freezing water. It took me a bit but I figired it out. It was the best rocks wiggling there way to the surface for you to pick up. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you got some more beautiful rocks ahead of the floods😊 Thank you for sharing rock wisperer.😷⚒🌵

Hey miss Kimberly! It’s that time of year again. I work during the week, so I get out for my adventures on the weekends. Unfortunately, here in Colorado, it’s been waiting to get crappy on the weekends. Soon though. Cool finds. That blue face is gorgeous.that’s not all that’s gorgeous, I’m digging the natural look 😁. Nice to see you on the hunt and sharing. ROCK ON SISTER!! You fellow Colorado Rockhound. ✌🏼

[@brucewalters8635]

Every two steps you find a winner. I've spent hours upon hours rock hounding a stream and I've only found one gemstone. It's so easy there and other places I've seen on here. Oh well. Never say die. I have learned alot watching videos like this. One day I'll find something spectacular.

[@MontanaRockMom]

Yes you will... keep doing what you're doing!!!

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Watching you ford that icy water almost made me freeze my begee-zees off!! We've had several 70°F days... now today we're cold... and I experienced sympathy chills for you. Your rockhunting videos are so exciting. I can only describe where you hunt as "rockhound heaven." Safe and happy trails to you, MRM... and get into some dry clothes and boots!!!! 🥾🥾🤠⚒️🪨🎒

[@MontanaRockMom]

I do put some aside to cut!

I would be picking up all the white and golden agates in one bucket. All the red rocks in another, green in another, gold in another...paving walls with them...awesome..Going nuts for the colors!!

[@AvalonDreamz]

The rock in your thumbnail looks like an eye! You are so fortunate to live where you do, a place you can go out into areas as you do to find such amazing gems. That would be a dream for me as I live in an area of flat land, corn fields & soy beans for as far as the eye can see🤣 find mostly granite.
