How awesome is that agate?! If you enjoyed this video, hit that 👍 button ❤

@jasonsummit1885 4 месяца назад

You could polish the outside of the best side and leave the rest how it is naturally. That's what I do with my best ones.

@debidevaney8398 4 месяца назад

Congratulations, Taylor!!!😁🥹🎉 That agate is a beauty, and it's totally appropriate that it is your hands, given how much you love them❤

So cool! Curiosity would get to me. 🙂

Good for you, T!

That is a handsome agate Taylor, but most of all getting to share in the joy along with that lovely lady, my smile mirrored yours. 😂 What a moment to treasure.

@AgateDad 4 месяца назад

It was a good moment ☺️

Congrats Taylor, that’s worth an entire winter of cold fingers. Jean picked the right stranger to say hi to!

@AgateDad 4 месяца назад

Glad I got to share that moment with her :)

@user-hz2xl4co9u 4 месяца назад

I'm afraid I'm too curious. I would have to cut in half, polish, make a little wood stand and put it on my favorite spot. I got to see inside 😃

@denisweimer8791 4 месяца назад

You need to find a bigger one so that you can go ahead and cut THAT big one right there! Because that thing is gonna be FILLED with tubes and red/white banding. Those "pull down" designs are tubes eroding lengthwise. Either way, that thing is already amazing on the outside. Those other agates are pretty sweet too. That's a great spot! That sagenite spray on the smaller stone was gorgeous as well. Also, congrats on finding a scale with your name on it. That will never happen to me. :D LOL!

@lisamills-wv6nc 4 месяца назад

That agate hunt is what us rock hounders dream about! Congrats Taylor on that beautiful, HUGE agate! 😊

@AgateDad 4 месяца назад

It really is! I’ve been dreaming of since my last agate pounder lol

@kellyhollingsworth6100 4 месяца назад

Oh the temptation.....That would be beautiful as an orb. Great find have a great weekend happy hounding.

@E.o.t.4637 3 месяца назад

I was so happy to hear you say you were leaving it as is! Sometimes it's better to leave the mystery and let the mind wander... Congrats Taylor! Well deserved!

@megganb9614 4 месяца назад

Thank you agate dad for making me want to go agate picking as a hobbie.

@AgateDad 4 месяца назад

Do it!!!

Gotta love the simple things in life, especially when they make you sooo happy!

@savagesquirrel9828 4 месяца назад

@PapasGems 3 месяца назад

I don’t blame you for not wanting to cut that Gorgeous Agate. I cut my two large ones and I still get a sick feeling when I look at them. As always Agate Dad, great content. Thank you for sharing 🎊 🎊

@jeanettestefanik5854 4 месяца назад

I was going to complain about the Scoopy imposter but then Scoopy got the honors of the big agate.

@AgateDad 4 месяца назад

Love Scoopy so much ❤️

@jasonsummit1885 4 месяца назад

I know the feeling, last summer I found one of the coolest agates I've ever found. It has a flame pattern of bands

@AgateDad 4 месяца назад

Nice!! Congrats!

@audraacklin9826 4 месяца назад

@pamelaklemp5615 4 месяца назад

Congrats 🎉👏 👏 👏 on finding that AWESOME AGATE! I love that you're NOT cutting it open... allowing for its own Mysteries to remain 💯 untouched. Love ❤ that! Also, that View Cube is proving its own weight in "Agate GOLD".

@pamhowell7240 3 месяца назад

Thank you for sharing your precious find. My son and I were hunting near our home when I found the largest agate in my life. It weighs in at 2 lbs 9 oz. My response was not as dignified as yours, though. Congratulations!

@Mississippi_Rocks 3 месяца назад

Awesome find, brother!!!! Love the “calico” look to it!!!! The bottom bands and eyes are the cherry on top!

@dalor4906 4 месяца назад

Great find. Cut it down a middle with a 0.3mm blade. No loss and potential for a mind blowing interior. Good luck.

@cindyrebstock2334 4 месяца назад

I’m so happy you are not going to cut the big agate. It is awesome. So happy for you!

@karlahall9058 4 месяца назад

Me too. It's perfect just the way it is 😊

@darrinwilliams5715 4 месяца назад

What a boulder!!!! That is a banger. Right on Taylor.😎

@derekmoravitz4937 4 месяца назад

Looks like an agate from Thunder Bay. The reason it’s so big is because it’s a vein agate. Congrats!

@AgateDad 4 месяца назад

Don’t vein agates typically have a flatter top and bottom with host rock? I could see the band like structure similarities of vein but also a rough tube on the large nodule scale.

@christinakohl6111 4 месяца назад

Wow what an awesome find! The eyes on the outside are super cool😮

@AgateDad 4 месяца назад

Thanks!

@laurieowen8696 3 месяца назад

I would've overlooked that and thought it was just another composition of granite. Super congrats!

@michaelbearss371 3 месяца назад

Congrats on that awesome LSA! It almost looks a little like petrified wood the way it runs looking like wood grain..super cool!

@jaslang9469 4 месяца назад

That beast is awesome! Great find! I agree with not cutting it, but I bet it is really cool inside. It would always be taunting from the shelf like it was whispering "cut me, you know you want to".

@cynthiahappel3697 4 месяца назад

At first, I thought the woman with you was "Agate Mom". Still, I'm glad you had someone there to share your find with. Beautiful agate!

@troylarsen2454 4 месяца назад

Congratulations! Good call on not cutting it. It's a great find.

@patriciastanke2264 4 месяца назад

Memorable day for both of you 😊

@jmcgovern6454 3 месяца назад

Leave as is?? Oh my heart. But I understand ❤ I am so happy for you Taylor. I hope my trusty bucket and scoop can find something similar to that!!

You’re so fortunate to live where there are such beautiful rocks. Here I have granite, granite, and more granite. I’m jealous.

What a beautiful agate, it's a winner. Hi to Jean and Scoopy. Keep having fun and try to stay dry.😊

@box4859 4 месяца назад

This dude has some stones. Rocks are one of those primal "bedrocks" of our civilization. We've made weapons, tools, and houses out of them. We may have used them to light the first campfire. All that and they're pretty if you take time to look.

@joang.cavanna2046 2 месяца назад

Love your view box - works so well. Can you put a leash on it and hook it to your pants so it doesn't wander too far? The porphory that you picked up had some wider crystals on it. Neat. Congratulations on your biggest agate! A mineral soak sounds good. In case you can't tell I'm binge watching your videos - haven't kept up.

WOW!!! I’m soooo happy for you!!!! I’m new and am going to start looking! Where did you get the view cube and are you wearing bibs with boots? I need a pair like you have. Thanks for sharing I can’t wait to get started!

@phillipkenewell2225 4 месяца назад

Awesome! Great Find! BTW suggestion: put a lanyard on your "viewcube" then attach it to your belt loop!

@AgateDad 4 месяца назад

Good idea for the floater but I don’t want to be attached to it :)

@Lindaraylong 3 месяца назад

That’s amazing.

@LyndaBallantine-zl4fe 4 месяца назад

That agate is awesome, and I have to admit I would cut it if I had a saw, I love seeing what's inside, even if its not great, its still something nobody has ever seen before, thank you for risking frost bite and taking us with you on your adventures and congrats, it really is an awesome lake superior agate!

@CityRockhounding 3 месяца назад

What an epic day! Sweet porphyry, jasper, and agates! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Nice fist size beast of an agate! Nice lady too! One day down the road you can cut it! I always wondered if the further you go out, the bigger they will be! Going diving below! Nice seeing it up close at the end!

@leilanidewitt7442 3 месяца назад

@karlahall9058 4 месяца назад

I'm so stinkin happy for you😊. I absolutely love your display 😍. It fits in just perfect with all the others, in fact, it adds a unique beauty to it. You should name it.😂. Thanks for the rock fun😁

@valariemeltzer2553 3 месяца назад

Wow what an agate it's gorgeous. Would love to see it cut open. I give you a mention everytime I have the chance trying to help grow your subs. And that porphery was stunning and the second one was also gorgeous.
