I love rocks and crystals. I would love to see a whole video of you ladies polishing and cutting and prepping jewelry. That would be so interesting.

@Chr.U.Cas1622 Год назад

Dear Bee kind. 👍👌👏 Yes, that's exactly what a lot of us viewers already commented respectively asked for several times. I am and was simply not able to find a lot of their jewelry online (if any). And even their Etsy shop is mostly closed, sigh. This is maybe great because I hope that they sell their wonderful items/stuff instantly. On the other hand: I would really, really love to see at least the cut/polished agates/gemstones. Of course complete jewelry would even be better. After the second channel was introduced, I thought and hoped that we viewers would see more of the making processes. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

@YamIa3gypsy Год назад

No where else I would rather be than spending these moments with you while you share your magical part of the world. Thank you and wow gotta say, the drone work and music, phenomenal!

@dianegorman2595 Год назад

I have always collected rocks, crystals, fossils, etc..everywhere I go. I can no longer get out but am able to go with you two on your trips and have the time of my life!! These agates were absolutely gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us!

@kimberlymolitor354 Год назад

Loved this episode!!! I used to hunt for very similar agates on the shores of Lake Superior way up in Northern Minnesota when I was a kid!!! My grandfather took slices of our finds and covered an entire 3'x3' glass tabletop with them. He mounted a light underneath and it was INCREDIBLE to behold!!!! It was very heavy! 🥰🥰🥰

@judymcpheron5955 Год назад

Must have been very beautiful to see. Do you know what became of it?

@kimberlymolitor354 Год назад

@@judymcpheron5955 Unfortunately I don't. My grandparents are gone, and I don't know if it was sold from their estate.

@debbrabossier7284 Год назад

Two brave women, climbing up that loose rocks and all. All the rocks are gorgeous. Congratulations 🎉

@tuto108 Год назад

Another gorgeous outing!! I cannot wait to see what you will make with your finds!! Thank you for taking me and us along!

@Chr.U.Cas1622 Год назад

Dear Sherrie Davidson 👍👌👏 Exactly! Same here. Please see my answer to viewer Bee Kind also. Thanks in advance. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

@amycerra9325 Год назад

All those agates make me want to head for the upper peninsula in my home state of Michigan! I spend summers there rockhounding (beautiful agates up there too)and this video makes me want to be hunting. Cheers to you for such a successful day of rockhounding!

@kayesdigginit1519 Год назад

I like going to your state for beach glass and fossil hunting. There's so much beach to hunt and enjoy. I found a pudding stone on Lake Huron

@judymcpheron5955 Год назад

Hello fellow Michigander. 👋 I'm in the middle of the lower peninsula on the wst side. My niece gows to school in the U.P. and had found some nice yooperlites. I'd be thrilled to find agates. Blessings.

@sheilafranklin186 Год назад

Another Michigander here, I'm in the Leelanaw peninsula.

@FalconRiverArtemisArchery Год назад

So.. looks like we have a small gathering of Michigan rockhounds here? I am just south of Lansing….Lots of pudding stones around… Thanks again Gail and Alex for a wonderful adventure!

@patriciapines587 Год назад

The book, Rascal, about a boy raising a raccoon in Michigan in the 1920s has a chapter where the raccoon found agates by a lake, and the family polished them and gave them to Rascal at Christmas time!!

@davidgilroy2472 5 дней назад

I'm from Newcastle originally, only recently got interested in rocks, however I live in Florida now, I left the UK when I was 22 yrs old, I had no idea about these Northumbrian treasures. Now, I have to haul my butt all the way back there to see all the stuff I didn't appreciate as a young man. Thanks a lot guys , more bucket list stuff, like I have the time!!

@sapphonymph8204 Год назад

Would love to see you make some beautiful cabochons out of some of the agates.

@dawsie Год назад

All I can find about the green rocks in Scotland is it’s called “Scottish Jade” Some of the most stunning stones looking forward to see what you make with them🤗

@msmoe8687 Год назад

I live in Oregon USA and I am stunned at how similar the stones you are finding today and the ones we find here are. I bet that green one is also Jasper, we find it in lots of colors here.

@MsKindaSorta Год назад

I agree to green Jasper. Beauties!😊

@Slythiechickdoesgaming Год назад

could it possibly be Moss Agate?

@marykettler8455 Год назад

WOW! You all hit the Agate jackpot! WhooHoo!! I love watching you adventures each week. Love and Hugs from Florida USA🌴🌞🌴

@mariemoss2475 Год назад

The green rock you found looks very much like Jasper 👍💕💕💕

@Chr.U.Cas1622 Год назад

Right at the beginning of this video I instantly realised that Alex is looking like a gemstone herself (red hair/lips, pale/white skin, sparkling eyes). Additionally even the colours of her clothes and cap do match agates including the grey bedrock. Uuuuh, I like this kind of coincidence very much. 👍👌👏 Back to watch the video now.

@XxAnyaxX333 Год назад

The highland cows 🥰 too cute and curious! Reminds me of when I used to go gem hunting as a child on the beach, found mostly pyrite, but in my childish wonder I believed it to be sacred treasure! Love the gem hunting videos, might need to go agate hunting myself 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@oxorox972 Год назад

Oh, the heelund coos. Mooooo

@janelovesy2399 Год назад

Thank you both ! xx

@Objective-Observer Год назад

Green Rocks-That looks like Aventurine... which is in the jade family,. HOWEVER; in checking minerals found in Northumberland: I found Flourite in County Durham, just south of there. Also, flourite can be as purple as amethyst. Others have said malachite, but I don't think so- that is found near copper, and your's are too pale of green. THANK YOU FOR TAKING US ALONG. YOU TAKE ME PLACES, I WILL NEVER GET TO SEE.

@repeatdefender6032 Год назад

What an absolutely idyllic day! The drone footage is completely epic, those shaggy cows are adorable, and the agates are stunning! You two should be sponsored by the Ministry for Convincing Americans to Move to Northern England and Scotland, or whatever you call that there, because I'm sold😄

@saddaddrummer Год назад

@@VickieV1333 I watch them all. The idea of watching someone digging around in rubbish just shouldn't work, but I find these ladies totally likeable, a bit like that book you just can't put down.

Very nice aerial shots and music accompiment! I appreciate them both, and you two as well. Thank you for taking us along on your hunt for beautiful agates.

Hello 👋 from New York USA Thank you for Bringing me Along with you I can't wait to see What you Find Next 😊

@angelavorhees5946 Год назад

I have to say you are 2 brave gals. The steepness of the landscape did come across on film. Oh my. Alex your drone skills and editing are looking so professional, it's like watching a movie. The Highland cattle were very inquisitive as to what you were up to. Great job, both of you. Love watching every week.

@Parsley96 Год назад

I love those kind of cows! They’re my favorite! Scottish Highland cattle aren’t they? Agate is gorgeous!❤❤❤

@johnnabuzby6103 Год назад

They're Highland coos. That's how the Scottish pronounce cows.

Malachite or Zentron or Pachamama or Fuchsite. Or just regular green jasper. But all your finds are awesome!

@oceanbreathessalty9486 Год назад

Awesome finds!! That geode, all those multi multi banded! The juicy orange carnilians! WOW! That one with the 'lips', the top looked like a glowing silver band. I liked that one with the rounded rock on the bottom and crystal on top, like an orange castle on a mountain! Thanx for the adventure! 🥰

I've lived in both Minnesota and (now) Wisconsin, states that border Lake Superior and, combined, are about the size of the UK. You're doing better finding agates in that spot than I ever have on the Lake!
