We went to this location at pretty much the perfect time. The weather was spectacular and we had some excellent finds.
In the future, we will certainly be returning to this location for another visit as the area is vast with plenty of area to explore.

The farther you head out away from where everyone goes the better..... ( a late friend of mine used to talk about Rattle Snake Bute ( might be just their name for the area, but it's around Congleton Hollow,) the whole area is quite picked over from what I understand, especially closer to the parking and camping areas......so look into a utv or atv, and check property lines as they found barbed wire fences out in the middle of nowhere ( like 3-5 miles away from parking) I have not been there, maybe some day before I die, but this man was very knowledgeable and trustworthy. ( worked with and for him for years, as I had with the rest of the group he hunted rocks with.)

Congleton Hollow is one of my favorite locations! My first time there I dug in one of the dry creek beds and had beginners luck. I found multiple larger pieces, the best of which was a 9 pound piece of root that is mostly solid with pink and white bands. My largest piece, a 25 pound log with a Quartz crystal pocket, I cut and polished and donated to the Rice Museum because it was better than what they had as an example from that area. As always, great content. Thanks again.

It's a very intriguing location for and the larger things and eluded me but maybe if we go back again this fall or next spring and spend some more time there I can find something that's a complete round. That's a great find and even better cause now everyone can see it and enjoy it at the Rice Museum.

Was that piece you donated downstairs before the remodel after the flooding? I have a vague recollection of it along with like two other pieces if my memory serves me right...I probably have pictures or video of it somewhere in my files?🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ hahaha

Central Or is full of both recent and older volcanics; Congleton is in the Clarno formation and roughly 30 million years. The casts are from and in the pyroclast tuff so some do pick at it, I just hike and look. Nice finds!

Beautiful finds! I’ve watched some of your other limb cast videos from Saddle Mountain, and always appreciated the idea and creation of a limb cast, but WOW - this site really reveals the details. It’s so easy to imagine that carbonized wood being replaced with silica and displaying all of those knots and wood grain. From an “outsider’s” perspective, I think I would visit this spot before Saddle Mtn!

Awesome!! Those are really cool. I have always wanted to go to Congleton hollow area. I live on the west side of cascades in OR. Just went to Prineville area recently and found really nice jasper deposits. I saw that green rock too, it's definetly volcanic, and I even found green jasper mixed in some of it. Makes me wonder if it's copper based? Central Oregon is so vast.... it's really just a rockhound paradise!

@CurrentlyRockhounding
@CurrentlyRockhounding 2 года назад
It really is cool to see. Other things can be cast as well. Example something similar happen here where a basalt flow covered some logs and casted them but later what filled the void was more basalt which now means there basalt casting.

Thanks as always for sharing your adventures sir, lady and pooch, very much appreciated! Looked like an excellent day out hounding. Ima big fan of limbcasts and rootballs in general and really love the pretty pale pink limbcasts from there. Got a couple small bits myself but nothing bigger than like a silver dollar with some decent digging. I've seen some pieces fist sized and a little larger in some other folk's collections from there but that's it. Thanks again, hope you have a super rest of your week~

Those were really some beautiful little limb casts. They werent huge, they werent even medium sized, but what they lacked in size, they make up for in coolness. The colors are gorgeous! Ive never seen a pink limb cast before! And they very much retain their wood characteristics. The bark texture and grain look. In pink chalcedony! Awesome! That is a cool location! Not somewhere that i could go, but definitely a cool location. I will have to see about sending my daughter and her fiance' to fetch me some pink limb casts! Thank you Jared and Sarah and of course, Laika. She has a cute dog butt! And she is smart enough to not lick rocks! Good girl!

A lot of the big stuff I have seen from the area is mostly broken, its still neat but lacks a lot of the definition that you see in the smaller stuff. Of course the prize is a large full round. It's a pretty good location so long as it hasn't been raining. Any car can drive in.
