We took a 3 day rock hounding trip up to the Burro Creek area in Arizona with the Quartzite rock club. I was led by a wonderful man named Alva. One of the things we went for was that brown conglomerate slab that you bought. He is the one that found the deposit and I am sure that it came from a trip with the club. Some of the samples have a lot of drusy pockets in them. One of my wife's favorites.
Hey I'm planning a trip there, do you know where the petrified wood is found in the east McCracken mountains? I've heard it's there but can't find any details.
#Hells Canyon. The rock and gem show was really good. Big enough to attract a lot of vendors and small enough to have fun and keep the prices lov. Thanks for letting us tag along.
I love rock shows and picked up some slabs as well. I did a video of the Hanford, California rock, gem and fossil show recently. Thanks for sharing!! ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️
Thanks for sharing the rock shows. I love the little one we have in town. They have buckets filled with unknown rocks. They just pull a price out of the air and it's always a great deal.
That was an awesome show! #HellsCanyon They had some screaming deals there! Those montana slabs were awesome. Those agates are really hard and the chew up saw blades pretty fast, and they take so long to cut, its worth more in the labor cost alone, then the $2 price tag! And those big slabs were really gorgeous and worth more than $1 per slab! And i was blown away at the $2 per cab at that one booth! Thats incredible! The time and materials that involved with making a cabochon, is worth well over the $2 she is selling them for. Even if she did get them from a close out deal or estate sale! Thats just incredible! That may have been a small show, but it looked like it had some great stuff, good prices, and thats what you want, right? And those display cases were awesome! That one with the pictures of picture jasper, and the table and chairs made of rock, was really just done so beautifully! and that huge garnet from that first case you guys were at, is amazing! it was the size of a softball. Now thats amazing! Totally cool and thanks for taking us along! And running into Jeremiah and Patrick was cool!
We love all of your videos. Over the past few years we have traveled to so many interesting sites through your eyes. Thanks for taking us to #HellsCanyon This weekend we end out to some of the locations we've gone to "with you" Hampton Butte, Glass Buttes, and Crack in the Ground.
#Hells Canyon Rock shows are dangerous places….I would want one of everything! So your rock show videos are perfect for me…. I get to see all of the great rocks with no temptation!
That was a great rock show, I know that I would have spent to much if I was there. #HellsCanyon rocks. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.
Had to hit pause and comment...that display case @5:25 with all the square jaspers and the little table and chairs is A BADASS case!...omg the details and colors in those are just mind bending! 2.00 each for those Montanas??..25.00 for 10lbs?...oh my goodness ur killing me...that green slab at the end looks like bloodstone, and the second one possibly Marston jasper? #Hells Canyon I'd just like to have the template!
Hello from Wisconsin! My wife and I watch every episode on your channel and love it! Especially the Saturday Night Specials... lol Keep up the good work! #HellsCanyon
Sara and Jared, thanks for taking us to the #HellsCanyon Rock Show. So fun to see all the beautiful materials. You are quite the bargain hunters, though I do think you missed out not buying the cookbook. There may have been the very best recipe ever for Rock Soup. 😆 Thanks again. You two are the best!
Omgosh! You and Sarah, should have a case for real!! You are so organized with your thumbnail and micro specimens with their pictures you took from your microscope especially the multi color zialites picture you took is one of the most beautifully captured with your microscope and camera. In fact i showed a few of my family members like my twin who is a professional photographer, who was very impressed with that photo. It literally got her to fallow your channel! She is also a rockhound because, of me! It would be pretty awesome to see the best of your best finds ever from Washington and surrounding areas..
Maybe someday we will put together a case. It would be fun to do. I think it would be fun to have a full case of the micro minerals with some blown up photos of them in the case. Thank you! :)
Thanks for all your videos that are so full of useful information. The #HellsCanyon show was great. I love seeing all that there is in your neck of the woods, I hope to see one of your videos of you and Sara in my home state of New Mexico. Keep up the great work, it’s very much appreciated!
Exciting to see what you found poking around in the booths. I giggled when he said you can't slab them yourself at that price. I couldn't....you though... Now the cabs the young lady had, yeah nobody, I imagine,could at that price. Im intrigued on what you might produce next in stone, maybe a small stone table of your own displaying a micro mount, of the source material of the table? What ever it is I'm positive it will be an experience. Y'all are so much fun.
looks like #HellsCanyon rock show was great . We went to saddle mtn and found some nice petrified wood and i started a carpet wheel thanks for all the great videos !!!
It is always great watching a rock & gem video and seeing something new and amazing to look for later on! Thank you guys for sharing #HellsCanyon Rock & Gem Show
Oh yeah, thanks again for helping me work out what that specimen with the needles the other day . I've narrowed it down to being part of the ziolite family
Darn I missed it. Just got back from the Great Lakes area rock hunting. Thank you for sharing this! What a amazing rock show. Do they have this every year? I would like to go next year if so. You and your wife did a great job with filming the show.
The second slab you hold up at the end of the video is Burro Creek Pastelite. I don’t know how you got out of there only spending $12. I would have spent a couple grand easily with all of the crazy deals you were showing all of us. I’m the video I spotted a Paul Bunyan Plume agate that had me rewinding the video. The video was a lot of fun, thank you for sharing. I❤Rocks!
Yes on the Montana agate slabs, great good deal. Wish I had a grab at them! I would have made an offer on the entire tub of those slabs. Killer price per each
I wish I would have known about the show. I was over there all week fishing on the snake. I would have liked to have seen it. Guess I should check into things on my travels.
Awesome show man! Looking forward to next year! @13:00 Paxton's Gems was one of my favorites! That's where I got that $5 mystery bag with the Azurite! The Booth @29:00 was probably my favorite, can't believe that guy hand polished those! What a steal on those Montana slabs! #HellsCanyon
@Ragnar Rocks With Quartz Thanks so much for the minute marks for your purchases at #HellsCanyon so that I can go back and look at those booths in the video. I am also looking forward to the possibility of having the Montana Agate slices since I just got a beautiful Montana Agate Necklace a couple days ago.
Rock shows are so great. Because you get to see items that you would never see any other place. At my last rock show I got to see some thunder eggs. After seeing how much you enjoy them. I had to have one too. Thank you and Sarah for showing us around the #HellsCanyon Rock show. Also I was happy to see some crystals from Mt, Ida, Arkansas at the show. There are so many crystal mine around that area.
Hi Jared, I found it interesting that you described the show as a small one. Here in a Australia it would be considered to be a pretty goo$ sized show. While our land mass is only slightly smaller than America, our population is about one tenth the size of America’s. A lot of our shows are quite a bit smaller than the one you showed. Some great specimens & some good deals at the show. 👍 Keep Safe & Keep Rockin.
Also from what little I know about Australia, pretty much everyone lives on the coast for the most which much make it feel smaller. Some of the really big shows out here take like 6+ hours to walk around at and this one took about 1.5hours.
#HellsCanyon ... montana agates are really amazing... was some nice stuff at the show, we were over at summer lake area, & freemont winema... got a few pumice specimens... lol
I would’ve gone nuts at this show - just amazing good buys Nice steal for metal templates (wish to find some like that soon) Nice eyeing Sarah enjoying the show too
Wish I could have gotten down to the #HellsCanyon show! I've been too busy recently! :( Thanks for the great video, if I can't go at least I get to see the show a bit. Those were some crazy good deals for sure!
Thanks for sharing your rock show adventures. I will try to make it there next year. #HellsCanyon I have @150 lbs of polka dot agate that I mined a few years ago, now the creating adventure starts.
#HellsCanyon I love the rock and gem shows. I have only been to one that is local and it was small, but so cool! There was a lot of nice material. Thanks for sharing and taking us along. The opal was so pretty and the slabs were beautiful as well, and the prices were pretty good. I can say that everything was very nice.
Dang I wish I saw those templates at that price! I need to pick up a set sometime. Good meeting you two at the show. Maybe next time I'll find Ragnar, too!
Oh man I love the rock club sponsored rock shows because it's the stuff there for rock nerds as opposed to the other rock shows in my area which are geared towards bead makers or jewelry lovers and feature a lot of already worked material. Always a fun time, but I can never go in with a full wallet or I'll leave with an empty one.
Great price on the templates, but there's one missing. It is red in color and has a lot of heart shapes. I think I show the set of three in one of my early videos. I think I paid $15 years ago for the set of three, so $2 each is a really good price. How can you go to a show with such good prices and only spend $12? I probably would have spend closer to $100 or more based on your video. One of those Montana slabs looked like it might have been close to Iris if it had been cut thinner. Thanks again for sharing your adventure.
When I got home I looked up the stencils and I could see that there was also the red one but I have never seen that one but Ill keep my eyes open for it. Ha! I already have too many rocks so I'm pretty happy with my $12 of finds. :D
@@CurrentlyRockhounding I don't think I've ever heard a rockhound say they have too many rocks. Blasphemy! As you said before, you have limited space, and have to be careful what you acquire.
@@spetkovsek57 My plan this winter is to process out all my extra rock and have nothing just sitting around. However plans are meant to be broken right?
Thanks for bringing the #HellsCanyon show to all of us. Definitely will try to have it on our calendar next year. Some of the cases were amazing. Probably feel the same as RagnarRocks. If you do put one together, please make a video about the process. If not, maybe it is a SNS topic along the lines of what should a case do for the viewer. IMO it should leave the person who looks at it with something to take with them. Some educational bit, something that inspires them to try a new technique, something that directs their attention to an interesting part of the hobby. In other words, there should be (1) a reason for putting the case together and (2) some labeling or description to give the observer more than just the feeling of someone showcasing a few pretty rocks. I guess I feel that the case should tell a story and motivate me in some way. Otherwise I will likely walk away with the thought of what was the point here? Anyway, please keep up your great content.
That's a really good topic "what makes for a good show case", I think I will talk about that on the up coming SNS! Thank you for that. I very much so agree with your assessment here. Cases need to have a purpose.
#HellsCanyon. This video was great and gave me an awesome idea I can't believe I hadn't already thought of... It looked like there were great deals on some lapidary equipment. I've been keeping an eye on the usual places, fb marketplace, Craigslist, ect. But I'm sure at a bigger show, the chances of finding a good deal on opening day of course, would be probable. Also I'm hoping I read the comment wrong that you have already picked a winner for the slabs and the template. I was sure in the video you said winner would be picked on the Saturday night live?? I would have seen and commented sooner but my birthday was yesterday and I was out rockhounding. Lol no hinting or guilt trip meant by my comment. Hopefully I didn't miss out. Rock on.
#hellscanyon thanks for another great videos. Not sure if you have covered this topic before, but what kind of things are you looking for at shows like this and what things should you avoid?
That makes sense. I hope people aren't accidently tumbling their dentures with rocks, although I might start a trend and make some false teeth made from petrified wood and agatized jasper. Those diamond grills are passe. :D
