WOW.....just WOW!!!!! The details in that piece are mind blowing!!! Those are the pieces that dreams are made of! I was so excited when you showed it that I gasped aloud and my 8yr old daughter came running from the other room. She took one look and literally squealed!!! We were both relieved when you said that you were going to leave it in its original state. Such beautiful weather and a great day to be out with the boys! Happy New Year and thank you for another great adventure! Looking forward to all the great hunts and lapidary adventures this year has to offer! Have a great weekend!!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks fir watching!!

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Oh my goodness! I love the build up to picking up that amazing limb cast! And your excitement is fantastic to hear. You were given an incredible gift! Thank you for showing the rock in detail and for explaining how the formations came to be. Wonderful video!

[@RockhoundingLife]

The excitement was real..trust me...I was at a loss for words!!

[@CityRockhounding]

WOW, "Jesus in a rock!" is right! That is the best rock I've ever seen ever, love it. I really liked how you explained the geology here, very helpful for me, love the history here and trees. I'm really missing nature right about now, haven't been able to start my hounding yet this year with all the snow in Michigan. Love your positive attitude and excitement. I literally gave you a round of applause, oh most got teary-eyed for you, my kids looked at me like are you ok.

[@kevinukena4444]

Rockhounding heaven. Period.

[@milesnn]

Awesome adventure fantastic area to hunt wow beautiful score on that one awesome time thank you

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for watching!!

[@harleyv1969]

That was an incredible find 🙏👍

[@outdooradventureswithfayde6832]

Good choice going to Ross Creek as it doesn't get picked over much as you say. And looks like you guys had it all to yourself! I like how you explain the geology of the areas you hunt and the things you find. I've never heard of cycads until I've seen your videos. Could you explain what they are a little better, perhaps? They are petrified wood, conifers? Omg! That is one of the coolest finds I've ever seen! I was going to say you should leave it as is, but then you already said you were going to. I would look at that every day for many days to come! So sooo awesome!!! Great video, really enjoyed you taking us along. Great way to start the year 😁🤘😬 Rock on

[@Ken_G.]

January First, Find of the Year. Pack it up and go home, you win. That's astounding, now you have to go and find the rest of it.

[@RockhoundingLife]

I wish we could find the rest of it!!

[@brianmontgomery6184]

Wow! That's an astonishing find!

Thanks for watching!!

[@silverback5033]

Hi Jason, that was a great days hunting with Nolan,Chase & Travis, these trips will be stay in their memories for life. What a striking location for some rockhounding and some awesome finds. That limb cast with amethyst and the Jasper are great pieces. I wonder how that limb cast piece would look with a surface polish on one end to make that banding & amethyst stand out even more, ?? Keep Safe & Keep Rockin

[@RockhoundingLife]

I hope so!!

[@velvetkytten]

WOW!!! what a perfect way to start a new year !

[@michellestenton6430]

Now THAT is how you start off a New Year!!! So awesome. Wonderful video Jason. Love seeing you out hounding with the boys! Stay safe and well. Sending love from Ontario!

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

That limb cast is an absolute mind blow. How cool. I love the geology that you included and it's so true that the beaches are different every time you visit. I love that it's always fresh and new, full of potential. Thanks for taking us along on the new years hunt. Cheers!

What an incredible find! Such a treasure 🤩✨

[@GrandTreasureBay]

What an incredible find. With a find like that, at least you have all year to try to top it :) I hope you can!! I almost wonder if it would be worth your time to bring a chisel to extract some different cores. some of those houses are pretty close to the edge there!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Houses have been known to fall

Amazing!!!!!!!!!

[@gregderksen1996]

Shut the front door! Daaang Jason! that is one beautiful piece. crossing my fingers for you and the boys that it won’t be the find of the year but if it is, what a way to start off 2022 with that jaw dropper! would have been amazing without the amethyst but with it, that just cranked it up to 11!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!! Not sure how we will top it!

[@RedmanOutdoors366]

Nice find wow ☺️👍💯🇺🇲

It was waiting for u to find it WOW

[@gracewashburn8276]

Yes so true it’s only going to get the better and I love what you found on your beach I have gone out a few times here and kind of been skunked but I will try some more you live in a beautiful area I live in New England outside of Boston Massachusetts no I just have to do some Long Beach walking when the weather gets nice you found some beautiful stones made love to have a piece of those But I will look and see what I can fine have a good day with your boys enjoy your time out and may you find some more rocks keep rocking on

[@RockhoundingLife]

I've always wondered what kind of rocks you would find down your way. What do you find on your beaches?

[@rachaelb9164]

That limb cast is amazing! That would make really pretty slabs if you can bear to cut it up.

[@rockinwitht9948]

Oh wow!!!!! That limb cast is phenomenal!!!!! I’ve never seen anything like it!!!! I am so excited for you guys!!!! I went out for my first hunt if the year last week; I found a banded agate about 1-2 inches long. But I think you guys found the academy award of agates!!! Happy 2022!!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Haha! Thanks! Any agate find is a good find! All the best in 2022!!

[@stratocaster1greg]

Wow that is gorgeous! Great analogy from your young friend. I made a Labradorite marble that I see Jesus s face in. That amethyst core is beautiful! Thanks fellas.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@geoffreyplourde362]

Great find

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you!

[@carlwiedenhoeft2427]

I wouldn't cut it!! Nice find!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Not going to. I like it the way it is!!

[@offyarocka]

its crazy to think cycads grow in sub tropical climates and you are in a very cold climate. Historical geology is fascinating!!! Your find of the year would be a find of a lifetime for me hahahahaha

[@RockhoundingLife]

I know right! The earth was a different place back then!

[@arleenibarra7637]

What your son said about Jesus in the rock really blessed my heart! I 100% agree. Even the rocks cry out GLORY TO GOD!😇💯

[@brucedymock6635]

Absolutely fantastic happy new year !!!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@tracykeats7394]

Great video, really enjoyed your enthusiasm. I haven't made it to Ross Creek yet but it's on my list ☺️

[@RockhoundingLife]

We got a bit carried away! Or at least I did.

[@TamaraBoudreau]

I'm new to your channel, what an amazing find! Watching from New Brunswick 🙂

[@RockhoundingLife]

Welcome to our channel!!! Thank you for tuning in from New Brunswick!

[@Kerase]

Might be going to check out this area on the weekend, looking forward to it! Would you recommend crossing the stream and heading east, or to go west? Thanks so much, love your videos.

[@RockhoundingLife]

If you head across the river it's a longer walk but you can find nodules and geodes there as well as cycads

[@Kerase]

@@RockhoundingLife Thanks! Can't express how helpful your videos have been in learning about how amazing the geology of NS is.

[@elisabethsanders2601]

That is gorgeous! Can’t get over it! Never seen so many limb casts at Ross Creek. What is your background are you a geologist?

[@RockhoundingLife]

I have a geology degree if that counts!?

[@elisabethsanders2601]

@@RockhoundingLife that sure counts in my book! I am more the rockhounding person who looks for just pretty rocks, while my son Timo, who is in his third year of his geology study, is more looking at things what you are looking at. I am sure we might see each other during our hunting someday in the future on one of the amazing rock beaches our Nova Scotia has to offer.

[@adventuresamNfam]

What did you do with 8:50? If you polish the husk down I think it will be the most awesome thing anyone ever saw!
