Thanks Mary! So many "awesome" rocks. That stromatolite looks to be a stromataporoid, it's my favorite. Good find Jim/Mr. Did! 😊

I think your videos are so much fun!! How in the world you can look at those dusty lumps and know one from the other is just genius. Great finds!! Thanks for sharing!😊

@gracewashburn8276 10 месяцев назад

Katee that one that you’re looking at the long one with the lump on it if you hold it just right it kind a looks like a duck head and beak crazy imagination but it looks like a duck😂😂😂❤❤❤

I was reminded of a turtle when you showed the agate at 2:00 min. Thanks for sharing.

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад

:) Right?

@jennifershipp2599 10 месяцев назад

I am so excited. I found my first Yellowstone River agate today. It is about the size of your agate twins. We are having such a great fall. Beautiful finds. Thank you for sharing. ❤😊❤

@leslyeschoenhuth1107 10 месяцев назад

The Jasper at 7:27 mark looks like a shrunken brain. LOL.. Never knew they turned to stone when they shrunk.. LOL.. Love the Pet wood, especially the one that was enveloped by Agate like a hot dog in a bun. The River never ceases to Amaze...

@sandmaker 10 месяцев назад

What a great trip. Mary is quite the friend and Jim has quite the eye. "So many beautiful rocks." Thanks for taking us along.

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@Original_Auburn 10 месяцев назад

The waterline with the hunk on top....I wonder if Theo could turn that into a snail. It's got a good shape for it :D

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад

That would be cool!

@grantfahlman1815 10 месяцев назад

That Mary is quite the friend. With friends like that, who needs others; right?! And Mr. Did certainly seemed to earn his keep on this hunt?

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад

He really did!

@fionabeale3245 10 месяцев назад

Agates and jaspers and bears 🐻 opps wood I mean ! 😂

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад

Ha! I think that every time I'm on the river.

@Dojnyddss 10 месяцев назад

Hopefully in a couple months I am going to go to Montana to find some petrified wood. Maybe we might come across each other and I could share some stories of mine.

2.07 agate looks like a snail 😜

@largent45 10 месяцев назад

Oh wow! You found some really great ones! And what do you mean the quartz pocket ones aren't good for cutting? Those are the ones that usually have iris potential! And I have to ask, are you going to list any of the stromatolites in your Etsy store? I love them and want to buy one from you! I collect stromatolites and I want one from everywhere. They are so different from all over and that one Jim found was awesome! So I had to ask! I'm never going to be able to get out to the Yellowstone like id hoped because my handicap won't let me walk on uneven surfaces anymore, so I'm stuck buying the rocks that I want these days! But you guys got some beautiful ones! Jim's pet wood pieces were awesome! And that big one with the tree rings was spectacular! That was so nice of her to take you out to her property again! Such amazing stuff! Thanks Kate!❤❤❤

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад

Lisa, that particular quartz pocket was pretty much the whole rock - there was only a thin layer of agate around it. The stromatalites - soooooon. :)

@MadelineRose-ep7fj 10 месяцев назад

Have been watching more techniques for polishing agates. There is a Whidbey Island Rock and Gem club, guess I better get put there to learn something new!😊

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад

Definitely - keep on doing!

@kastah 10 месяцев назад

So many Agats. I saw a video here on YT where someone was up at Yellowstone River and picked rocks. They talked about bonderies/borders, that NO ONE can say that they owe the land close to rivers etc, so it is free for all to look for rocks in some distances from the riverbeds?? Do you know anything about that? Nice trip

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад

That was probably me! Yes, it's true that the beaches are public access - if you can get to them! Without a boat, though, the best way is to be invited through private land.

@sallyoneill1171 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing. Can you suggest a public place to go on the Yellowstone for some good agates?

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад

Hello! The beaches of the Yellowstone, up to the regular high water mark, are available to the public - it’s just getting there that’s the problem, unless you have a boat! There are many fishing accesses and bridges along the river that provide public access. I’ve actually written a book detailing them - “So Many Beautiful Rocks” on my Etsy store. Good luck!

Hello Kathy, Do u have some news from Montana mom ?? 2 months wihout videos ?? Thanks, u always found nice stones !! So lucky

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад

I haven't heard from her lately - but I'll reach out and see how she's doing.

@Judycmm 10 месяцев назад

I think you should carry a screwdriver to help you dig out rocks

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад

I had one that a wonderful viewer made with a cool little knotted guy on the handle. I lost it, and keep forgetting to replace it. But you are right!

@tulazaz 10 месяцев назад

Thanks again to Mary for sharing her treasure filled property with you again and for us to see. I think I would go absolutely nuts there if I had an opportunity like that. Someone would have to drag me out of there.

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад

It's really fun to go there.

@Nikkisavage100 10 месяцев назад

Why do u call them Plume agate, une plume in french is a feather

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад

I think that is why! "Plume" in English is a fluffy feather.

@kvpalaciosa 8 месяцев назад

Hello! My name is Kattia, I am from Costa Rica and I have been watching your videos. You know I also like to collect rocks. I have a collection of them and I would like you to help me identify them. Most of them I had collected with the idea that they were made of quartz. However, seeing your vines, I think it could have, in addition to quartz, agates and jaspers. Could you help me identify them, I could send you photos to your email, if you agree.

@barbaramiller2279 10 месяцев назад

Can Mary be my friend too? :)

@KatyDidRocks 10 месяцев назад
