Rockhounding in that terrain is no joke. Kris has been such a mentor to many of us! He knows that terrain well and just has a good time.

It was nice meeting up with you and Sara again. Excellent day to be in the Olympics and just to look at big rocks. I did go back with Jeff and Forrest and we collected that jasper I pulled out of the stream. Hard to believe I could barely move it and it wasn't a big jasper.

@CurrentlyRockhounding 11 месяцев назад

I'm glad you went back for it and it was great seeing you again as as well!

Great Adventure Jared with the 'Old Guy'. Don't believe I've ever seen Jasper so large before. Thanks for letting us tag-a-long!

Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: Absolutely enchanting! I used to hike with my kids all over the Olympic Penninsula of WA. It's magical!

OG always has the best settings for rock hounding. So peaceful.

@victoriaruth821 11 месяцев назад

That red is so vibrant!!! I absolutely love red jasper!

@jeffwomack5821 11 месяцев назад

Good video. He seemed like a good guy. Willing to share his treasures and advice. I hope you are going to show us the end results of the cuts.

@nhrockaholic6038 10 месяцев назад

Holy Cow… Those were huge and beautiful Jaspers.

@lorenmerriman8439 11 месяцев назад

I was glad to see Kris last weekend (Oct 7th)

@OldGuyAdventures 11 месяцев назад

I had a great time this weekend, can't wait to cut into some of the black/red agate

@dustinfindsrocks 11 месяцев назад

Man those things are huge! We were cutting some big jasperized agatized stromatolites today and… it may be time for a new blade and we may have to figure out how to slow the feed rate. Our jasper was tiny compared with the one Kris found. Too big 🤷🏻‍♂️😆 I didn’t feel like spending 10 hours. Hope Old Guy makes some more videos but I think he said he’s done a while back

Nice to see you guys getting the Olympic experience! Kris is the best guide in the area! The seam that green jasper came from is way up river, up several tributaries, at the very top of my claim. It is the same stuff as the slabs and cab I sent you before. Beautiful stuff! Sorry I was busy that day, I could have taken you to the claim and shown you the huge red plume agates I'm mining. Keep on digging!

@OldGuyAdventures 11 месяцев назад

I knew when you saw that green that you would know exactly where it came from. I had the same thought when I picked it up

@CurrentlyRockhounding 11 месяцев назад

It was great getting out into that area and seeing. Maybe next time we can coordinate a little bit better and make that visit happen!

@patriciamckean4186 11 месяцев назад

Nice finds, old guy knows where to go. Thanks! Looking forward to seeing those jaspers cut and polished.

@CurrentlyRockhounding 11 месяцев назад

It's always nice to be shown around by a local expert in the area.

The giant red Jasper is absolutely surreal!!! What a find!

@CurrentlyRockhounding 11 месяцев назад

It was all very cool to see.

@mikedodge3910 11 месяцев назад

I am really starting to appreciate Jasper. I am looking forward to you cutting that green one.

@cailinanne 11 месяцев назад

I am just learning the differences in jasper and agates, etc. Love your content! Edutainment at its finest

@CurrentlyRockhounding 11 месяцев назад

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

@WorldofRockhounds 11 месяцев назад

Those are some massive Jasper boulders! If only one could extract those out for some nice decorative lawn rocks 🪨 😅

@upperpeninsulabeautiful 11 месяцев назад

That jasper is gorgeous when cut and slabbed! I really liked that green piece he gave you...that was unusual. Your videos are always a delight!

@randbasic 11 месяцев назад

Kris! Get back to making videos! Miss you!

@CurrentlyRockhounding 11 месяцев назад

I also hope that at some point he can start making videos again.

@graemero5532 11 месяцев назад

Beautiful jaspers

@kerickwalters2749 11 месяцев назад

Somewhere way up close to the headwaters of Germany creek is a pice of red jasper the is almost as big as this massive one . Pop and I could not get it out of the canyon so we left it . This was 30 years ago so I imagine mother nature reclaimed it into the creek bed

@DanFarrar 11 месяцев назад

Sub’d to Kris looks like a fun channel! What a cool creek

@ennjae6827 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for these videos! I may be binge watching this weekend. Riffe Lake in Morton, Western WA is a great place to rockhound, petrified wood etc. I am far from a geologist, but I do recommend Riffe in the late Fall-Winter while the water is down, a lot of treasures to be found!

OHHHHHH MANNNN here we go!!!

@rachaelb9164 5 месяцев назад

The forests on the Olympic peninsula are so freaking thick you could see only a few yards away. I can see why people have claimed to see Bigfoot or other creatures. Dude those are some huge beautiful jaspers. You almost need a hand truck or wagon if you can roll it towards a trail.

@manisteerocks7092 11 месяцев назад

Excellent video!...makes me want to come back out to the PNW!....please cut some slabs out of that green jasper!..im looking forward to seeing it polished!

@CurrentlyRockhounding 11 месяцев назад

It will get cut up some!

@peninsulahomerenovations9680 11 месяцев назад

I’ve gone to the Chehalis River and found agates and Jasper.❤

@CurrentlyRockhounding 10 месяцев назад

Nice!

@johnaustin6673 4 месяца назад

Welcome to my nationhood, the real PNW. I know the location of a piece of jade the size of a bus. It's in the park, found it in an old survey.

@glennaw1547 10 месяцев назад

Huge pieces of Jasper and other rocks. It can be Dangerous though.

@jimhutchison3435 11 месяцев назад

Wow! I just found some 11 lb + Jasper specimens here in Arizona. Any chance you two will be going to the Quartzsite or Tucson rock and gem shows?

@CurrentlyRockhounding 11 месяцев назад

I would say its very unlikely that we can make it to those shows this year but it would be really fun to go.

@manisteerocks7092 11 месяцев назад

@15:39....omg......@18:48 is that red monument jasper?

@rhondarockhound622 9 месяцев назад

What was the green rock called? I find a lot of it here in CA. Is it just a green jasper? I think it is related to serpentine, but much harder. I can’t scratch it with my knife. It has some translucency. Some people call it chert. But chert is opaque.

@CurrentlyRockhounding 9 месяцев назад

The green rock here was just green jasper. There's also lots of other green rocks that do look pretty similar.
