This Road is Full of Jasper Agates

[@harrisonclub]

Hey mate, Dave here (yes one of the kids has hijacked my account again). Thanks for featuring my favourite, beautiful girl in your video: Zephora the German Shepherd (and Rhondda who is pretty good as well). You and the boys are welcome back any time, hopefully I can come with you guys and fulfil my normal rockhounding role of pack mule. A big thanks as well to everyone who has helped with Will. It really has been overwhelming that this international family of rockhounds have been so generous and supportive. We are finally making some progress with him which is a huge relief. Great video as always! The blonde is hot... she single?

[@scottishgirloutdoors2662]

You are not just a pack mule Dave, you save Rhondda from cows too lol.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Hahaha! Dave! Dude honestly, you are a legend. I seriously want the rock family to know that we could only do this hunt, because YOU 1. gave up your day to hold down the fort with the kids so Rhondda could gallivant around the country side with three rock weirdos, and two, for putting up with us. Haha! But genuinely dude, you are such a good man. Like seriously, just a good good man. Can’t wait to catch up next time dude. 👊👊👊👊

[@silverback5033]

Haha,n you know how to get on good side of the ledger. Nice to hear Will is progressing. I hope you and the rest of the family are OK as well.

It's the simple things in life. We know it when we are children . . . Then if we are lucky, we remember later in life.

[@iloverocks1235]

Well said! 😊. And if we're really lucky we get to share it with kindred spirits on here! I've learned appreciating the simple things helps us recognise the important things and no matter how tough life might get there's always reason to feel incredibly blessed, which thanks to this community of 'simple thing appreciators' me and my family will never stop appreciating and recognising and above all, will never forget.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

G. Elliott you are spot on my friend, we’re definitely the lucky ones to remember it as adults. I don’t feel like a rock weirdo, I’m just blessed.

First off, many prayers still being sent for Will and looking forward to the follow up video! Secondly.... those... rocks..are...BEAUTIFUL! Definitely happy you all were able to get out together and have an amazing time! Not jealous at all.. lol

It’s crazy how beautiful they look. I just wish I had some cleaned up footage to show just how pretty they are. 😉👍

[@symonrocks9847]

I can finish my comments now. Watched with difficulty, my windows are broken and i'm using an old pair that I have to keep moving or I get a headache. Amazing, truely amazing finds, no Sarcasm in this comment. You all looked like you had so much fun, i'm happy for you all. The finds you made were beautiful, the jaspers are totally unique and each type is only found in one area, so when it's gone, it's gone, what you have will easily make high grade specimen and some I saw will have a high, very high retail value, but that is not what it's about, ultimately the discovery, something i've never had the pleasure of. Rhondda, i'm so glad you had such a wonderful relaxed day, you deserve it, I wish I could have been there with you, bless you. Boys, I won't make this a long speech, Thank you, thank you for being you and taking rhondda away from her stressful situation for a well earned and deserved break and a fun, exciting time, ( don't forget the pre arranged fee for this comment). Cut carefully and cut well, for the Rocks that you cut, you could easily sell. The dull one, with the visible lines, should be left there for another to find. There were many, you will cut for yourself, that are worthy of being top shelf. Great video, thank you all, Love and respect. Symon.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

See, now Symon, what a beautiful comment mate. You never disappoint man. You have a wit unmatched and a heart even more so. And whichever you use in one particular comment is a gift I look forward to reading my brother. I think with these, I will be attending the lapidary club. If all goes to plan. I just would love to get a good opinion on the rough, some direction on the cuts, and of course, the use of a saw that is worthy 😉 as you so eloquently said, “cut carefully and cut well”... sending love brother! Thank you as always for being a genuine legend Symon. Thank you mate.

[@symonrocks9847]

@@Rookie_Rockounding Well, I Thank you good sir, Sometimes it's better having many heads, (unless you are a teenager) the combined experience and practical knowledge is unmeasurable, one suggests a good idea then another points out a pitfall, another suggestion followed by plenty of confirmation and the reason why. Working blind, not knowing what is under the skin, that's a risk factor, mid cut or end, I always out for end simply because if you discover real beauty inside you can use the flat as a datum for the base, central cut and five degrees off both flats and you have the face looking up showing off all it's beauty. But, nothing extra special inside and you still have a datum for making slab cuts, that seems like pretty much all of my work in the last two years, but hey it's still nice, just won't get me a new house, well maybe the lock, it's a start anyway so by the time i'm 278 years old I should have enough money for a shed. Rookie, nah, creek sweeper, Yep. To all of you beautiful rock loving people, be safe in these unusual times and remember, if nothing changes it remains the same, now off you all go, spread out in a bunch and hunt those Rocks. We need a motto, latin thing like Rockus findus lovus muchus, or Houndus rockus creekus et tracus lovus. Or perhaps not.

I purchased a dvd yesterday, i've seen the, interview with a vampire, that was quite entertaining so I tried the next one, interview with the Invisible man, worse movie i've ever seen, just a load of props on string.

I comment here alot, love you guys and the real happiness you experience in every hunt. Only us rock nerds understand. But these videos really do me one great disservice. My God do I wish I had just ONE friend who enjoyed rocks and especially hounding. In all my years doing this I've almost never been able to share the happiness or a great find with anyone. Your people are the greatest treasure, man. Thanks for sharing

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Oh man Josh I know! The first time I took Benny hounding, he asked what I was doing on the weekend... and sheepishly I said, “oh just doing some creek walking and hiking... and looking for rocks...” I legitimately thought he would laugh at me straight away. But he asked if he could come along... haha! I thought he would be so board and think I was a weirdo, but he was hooked! I showed him what to look for and he was off and hounding and he honestly, always finds the best rocks of the day now haha! But I am so so blessed to have these guys and gal as my friends. The excitement when each other finds a rock is contagious, and I’m so grateful for their friendship. Thanks for you comment mate, I really hope you can get one of your friends hooked, you never know who else could be a silent rock nerd waiting to be discovered. 😉

[@antlerzflintfinder268]

I love that red one Rhondda found by the cow pie (6:13). Benny's huge red one (8:34) was awesome too. You're going to need a bigger saw. Are you allowed a wagon? I thought you had to haul everything out by hand so that you have to be more selective. How far away is Rhondda's place from you? I assume it's a ways away or you'd be there all the time. You found some awesome stuff. Great video. I'd give it two thumbs up if I was allowed to.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Haha! Man rob I think I need to head to the lapidary club to get some sliced properly. I really want to get their professional opinion too. Yeah we’re allowed a wagon here, the main rule is you just aren’t allowed to use power tools or dig to a certain depth... I don’t know what depth though, I’m a surface pickin kinda guy 😁 Haha! I’m only an hour away from Rhondda, but it’s more that our life schedules never line up. But when they do, we jump at the chance. Thanks heaps mate, I hope you and your family had a great thanksgiving and an even better week ahead man. Talk soon!

[@MichiganRocks]

@@Rookie_Rockounding I worked at the county road commission one summer during college. One day, they didn't have much for the three college kids who were working there to do, so they sent us out with a pick up truck of asphalt to fill some holes. The tailgate was down and they dumped a scoop from the loader on the back of the truck and the tailgate. Most of the weight was behind the back wheels so the front wheels were almost off the ground. It was like driving a boat. There was a fairly long hesitation between turning the steering wheel and the truck actually turning. Sounds like you were almost in the same situation.

I will say this with certainty...the rocks on Rhondda's road remind SO MUCH of what I find in and around Bloody Basin, here in Arizona. Look up Bloody Basin Plume Agate. Phenomenal stones. Radiolarite is usually just called Red & Yellow Jasper hereabouts. I find it all mingled and occurring together, clouds of color, pockets of translucence, whitish fortification bands... But those Rhondda stones! That shocking red and yellow in bursts and swirls with bands of Quartz with druse. Almost looks like an aerial view of Jupiter's weather or something. What a treat that you get to drag a wagon around for this location. SO many stones. If I had that one Benny stone I'd carve a skull from it. Tell Rhondda we're all wishing the best for Will. Thanks for this awesome video, Jesse.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Duuuuuuuude! I looked them up and holy smokes you’re right! That’s the closest thing I’ve seen to what rhonddas pullin out of her area. Only the quality of the plume in the Bloody Basin ones is insane! Thanks for the tip brother, and thanks for the support always man. Much love Mychael!

[@oldgamerchick]

I hope you get well soon. Texas was almost all under water during what they call the Cretaceous Period. I find all kinds of rocks with fossils in them. I have 2 they call fossiliferous. They are on beautiful agate type rock and all the little shells look like flowers the way they are laid out. I have other fossils from the Eocene which is newer than Cretaceous. They are a layered type with either red clay or yellow mud stone/ and Hematite. Hematite is an iron oxide that can be found in the main three rock groups. It can be made in to beautiful jewelry. It is everywhere on the property I live on. I live way out in the country. The nearest town is a tiny community. So I have found many beautiful flints, jasper, and chert. The rocks go through a rock crusher. So I don't find any large rocks like y'all do. I practically drool over the outstanding beauties you find. Thank you for sharing your beautiful rocks.

Thank you for your beautiful comment sista! It honestly was just so rad to have the three of them together hounding. I honestly sat back a few times and just took it all in. If only the whole OG Rookie Crew were able to all get together. Now that’s a dream come true! I hope you have a rad week ahead Marlaina, say g’day to Josh and the kids and I’ll talk soon. Sending mega love from my fam to yours!

Love this video. Great rock finds and a good day out with friends. Heaven. Those finds were just beautiful.

[@devildaymosrocks6401]

Awesome stuff mate ⛏️😎👌

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Thanks mate!

[@scottishgirloutdoors2662]

Best start to my Saturday ❤ just wow 😍 some pet wood is on my list for things to find, but I did just find a nice Lepidodendron root 😁. Does the iron stone have opal in that area? Thanks for another awesome video Jesse. Canni wait for the next one. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Heyyyyyy Anna! I reckon lepidodendron root would be classed as pet wood wouldn’t it? I don’t know, but I just looked it up and it’s beautiful stuff! Have a great weekend Anna!

[@moretimethanmoney8611]

Gotta love that chalcedony in all it's wondrous forms. I need to get back out and find some more, and go fishing.

[@BryanJordanMusic]

Wow! Amazing finds! I can’t wait to see them all cleaned up, and cut. And I look forward to hearing the good news about Will.

[@rockinwitht9948]

Those colours are so intense!!! Crazy finds!!! I’m always a sucker for pet wood, but those pieces are incredible!! Looks like you all had a pretty fantastic day. I’m heading to the beach tomorrow to see what I can find...fingers crossed for some pretty colours ! Love to Rhonda and her family💜

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

I hope you’re having/have a great time at the beach T!!!! Happy hounding!

[@patriciaroysdon9540]

I so wish I could hemisphere hop and go hunting with all of you. I am a rookie rockhunter at 63 years young. ( I thought I was the only one that tells rocks I like them! )

[@ericgustin7079]

Geez!! That was an absolutely incredible hound! Beautiful beautiful beautiful stones , man! Thanks for sharing :)

[@katiewood6036]

Nice!! I think you need to make Benny pull the wagon so he doesn't get so far ahead of the rest of you😄

[@melodyhart2017]

That is beautiful,mookite is beautiful,but this has some translucency !

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

I know right melody! It’s gorgeous and has translucency too. It’s so nice to hold too.

[@katherinedoughty839]

Oh man I so missed out! But you see what I mean... I'm watching you find the chalcedony etc down there, while around here I was seeing this stuff! Early into the Rockhounding I was soooo confused 😆( that wouldn't be hard!) Keep a good eye out as there are other minerals to be found👍 Glad to hear there's some progress for Will💜

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

G’day Kath!!! Ahhhhh right! Okay so this is the stuff you’re seeing out your way too. I’m looking forward to seeing them open and cleaned up. I gave them a quick one but I’ve had to pack em away because we’re moving house 🤦‍♂️ Sooooo many rocks to pack its nuts! 😖😖😖🤣

[@katherinedoughty839]

😆lol you Wally. I thought you knew I lived where Rhonda lives(same town)...when she moved there I moved 5mins away. We had plans to go Rockhounding together...but we moved & she had trouble with email acc n it never happened. Can never have too many beautiful rocks🙂 All the best with the move👍

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

What!!!! I didn’t know that Katherine!? I thought you were more out the back out the Gold Coast type thing. Like out over the range 🤦‍♂️😖 haha! Far out! If I had known I would have asked if you’d like to hound with us 😔 so sorry mate!

[@katherinedoughty839]

That's ok...look forward to seeing what you find at creepy creek! 👍

[@406findings]

You should make a cereal called "agaty bits" 🍻

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Haha! Dude YES! Love it mate! Love it 🤣🍻

[@B_27]

It would be a bit crunchy!

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

@B HAHA! Yeah, but it would taste so damn good! Teeth n all 😖

[@CityRockhounding]

Holy crap jasper is so beautiful, so many different kinds, colors, patterns, each one is so different and tells its own story. Wow, would love to see these cut open, wow. I really appreciate the update on Will.

[@wernberli]

Nice. "Rehounding". I think I'll spend some time doing that today.

What another fantastic video! Thank you for posting and hello Rhonda 👏I subscribed straight away!! you guys are the only people I can find who has such appreciation for rocks and I love it! I was wondering if you have a fb page or blog type thing that I could post my findings as I'm super new and have trouble knowing what I've found but I am very interested in learning and connecting with others who have this same passion. Thanks again about to watch your creepy vid. 😱

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Thank you @rockmeivertgerainbow! I don’t actually have a fb page but I do have Instagram. I couldn’t believe how many rock lovers there are on there too! I know that Katydid has a Facebook group I’m pretty sure but I’m not too sure what it’s called. Wait! I think it could be Jasperliscious possibly. Tell her I sent you 😉😁 best of luck and hope to see you on here soon. Take care my friend.

[@rockmeovertherainbow]

@@Rookie_Rockounding Thanks so much I will have a look :) Instagram is better for me I'm not very active on fb is it ok if I add you on there? And yes I'm loving this rock apprecation little community🙂 Ive become so in to it I hate that I never paid any attention at school 🤦 thats showing my age 😂😂 keep true and keep safe hope you find some hidden gems 👍

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

I love that you said you hate that you never paid any attention to it at school! Haha! Neither did I! 🤪 But I feel you, I really wish I did. I guess as we grow older, we start really appreciating what we are passionate about. This community is definitely a safe space for folks like us 😉😉😉 And yes, totally add me on Insta, I’m not very good at it, but I’m learning as I go 😉

[@rockmeovertherainbow]

@@Rookie_Rockounding lol we are all learning and I kinda like that I'm finding new interests as an adult keeps things interesting , the kids of today don't need school when you have Google, KZbin and paw patrol 😂
