We Found PILES of Amazing Montana Agates! Extremely Productive Rock Hunt on the Yellowstone River!

In this one, we hit up a spot along the Yellowstone River that I have not been to yet this year to do some rockhounding! Man oh man was this one productive day! We found piles of dark, mossy agates filled with banding and fantastic color variation, jaspers in just about every color, and some wonderful agatized and petrified wood! It was a wonderful day for sure! It's not too often that you find top quality Montana agates back to back to back! After the hunt, we head back to the shop to get some good closeups on or treasures. I hope you all enjoy, and I will have another one out soon!
Running a test up here! :'D I wonder how many people actually read these descriptions; like, we makers of KZbin videos do them in every single video but i wonder how many people either just don't click on it at all, or alternatively just go to the description to find the aforementioned links. So, I guess if you read this, you're awesome! True MVP of KZbin communities! Give yourself a round of applause because you da baws! To let me know you're a legend walking amongst us mortals, include the word "Cheetah" down in the comments below! Make sure not to tell anyone why either!
Here's the link to the video with the (and I quote) "weird greenish tinged agate we found in a different video":

My god man, that petwood is phenomenal. Waaay better that anything l have found out here in west Texas, (Terlingua). And the Montana Agates are unbelievable, almost incomprehensible to me. My father loved to work with Agate for jewelry.

[@rodneykoenig503]

You out did yourself on this trip. I think it’s one of best trips. All of them are my favorite. Awesome video Dude. Thanks for sharing.

[@terrydoucette6037]

Totally an awesome place Theo.

[@406findings]

I found a super black agate recently and I cut it a few times and you should see the crazy banding in it, I should send a few pics or a short vid to you it's really sweet but you got into some beautiful stuff can't wait to see them cut👍

[@TheoKellison]

Yeah definitely send those over! That sounds freaking awesome!😄 i love those dark mossy ones but man oh man, those almost black agates are something else when you get into em!😁 i cant wait to cut some of those!

[@DownriverRocks]

But a black light behind your slabs. They glow blue

[@debramaertens893]

Awesome finds. My favorite was your “find of the day”. I just love it. It might deserve to stay as a specimen.

[@TheoKellison]

You may be right about that😄 might just have to polish it the way it is!

[@tashacano3324]

As usual I can't pick a favorite! Great hunt!

[@michelleangers342]

Love the Agate Dogs!

[@DR_SOLO]

I have to thank you for experiencing two chuckles back to back. Once when you said for the agate of the day I don't want to jinx myself. I was thinking it's only bad luck if you're superstitious. And then you said all right be quiet phone at the same time my phone started to lag a little and buffer the video so came in check on number two good stuff good video

[@deelawton3722]

Your finds are RIDICULOUSLY beautiful. Can't wait to ever get over there! Dang Theo! Great day,! I'd be late for home, for SURE! Love the ones sporting blues and the lighter water banded agates, AWESOME DUDE 😎😎😎🤩

They seem to be some pretty good rock hounds alright😂 they always lead me to some good stuff😁 and couldnt agree more! I can not wait to see inside some of those beauties!😁 thanks so much for watching!😄

Quite a hike! Great finds. Best dogs….what sweeties and it’s nice you aren’t alone. I think Floyd is a secret agate magnate.

Nice finds! Looking forward to the cutting video.

[@kennethgeoheganrogichms4349]

You find so many wonderful agates, and you talk about many being cutters. I'd love to see what some of these look like when you have them cut and polished as well as learning what you do with all these great rocks once they're cut. Next I'll look for the iris video, as I have some agates to cut as well. And cheetah.

[@jimlancaster6120]

That was a very nice day to hard to pick a favorite.

What a beautiful day on the river! Nice finds, my friend. :)

Wow! Gorgeous finds! This is going to be hard picking out favorites, the dark agate with a blue and white wave (14:33)made me go ooooo! Does the agate at 16:47 have Iris? I could see those waves lines in it! The red Jasper really stood out, those were all so gorgeous Theo! Thank you!

I love the variety of stones you pick up. I also think it is awesome how your dogs lead you to cool stones. Cheetah!

[@jamesblondeau1029]

Wowsers. So many agates. Love the one with the dark plate on top of it. You guys find such amazing stuff on that rive. And u have some cute dogs. Floyd is awesome and Cy is always on the run. They must love rock hounding since it would be like a super extra long walk.

[@beckieg8479]

Wow what a haul loved the dark stones and that really mossy one 😍❤️👍

[@carolyngaulin8297]

Your Rock hound s are so cute ! 💞💞

[@hockeyrace]

Wow! Beautiful 🤩. Can’t wait for the cutting 🎥. The petrified/agatized wood just shouts out to be carved. Love Floyd. If I could reach in, I’d be petting him and keeping him satisfied with attention ❤️. Are the agates that show up blue in the video, really blue? Or just an illusion? They are so pretty. There’s not a backpack or bucket big enough for that spot 😵‍💫😵‍💫😯😯😳😳 Thanks for the 🎥 Stay Crystal 💫

[@TheoKellison]

They are some good boys for sure😁 they both seem to know where the agates are more than i do🤣 and as for the blue, its kind of a yes and a no; some of the agates are truly that blue but some of them have their blue color caused by the depth of the stone, and as soon as you cut them they dont look blue anymore. There's a term for that but i cant remember at the moment😅

[@jeanettestefanik5854]

Oh my god. Soooooo many agates.

[@darlameyer5936]

Mega haul agate day! Looking forward to seeing those cut and slabbed. Thanks for making these videos!

Jealous doesn't begin to convey how much I envy your close access to the wonderful places on the Yellowstone. Yes, I have nice rocks here in Oregon, but not in the abundant quantity combined with quality that you have there.

[@AwkwardEmily]

As someone who used to live in pnw (Washington) and now lives along the yellowstone River, I used to find crazy cool fossils on the shoreline back home, especially in the winter. But here I find alot of agates and petrified wood. I am on the hunt for a purple agate these days!

[@littleladybugmom]

You totally scored 👍

[@anniegironne8444]

Great haul of agate, jasper and petrified wood. Always nice the see how beautiful this area is. Have you decided what to do with your purple agate?

When you picked up the pet wood i think next to it on the left was another the same, the water splashed on it and same pattern as the one you picked up. I wish i lived in Montana.

This looks like so much fun. I'm in! I want to find a bunch of agates and incorporate them into my R.V., maybe on the walls and or on a countertop/s. I know I'll be needing a portable rock cutter and sander-polisher too. If anyone has any suggestions as to what a good brand of rock cutter is, I'd appreciate the help. Cheers!
