I have been intrigued by the green jasper-as I learn the differences of different green stones,the jasper from Brookings and thereabouts is so beautiful!
yeah me and my uncle jon went agate hunting 25 years oregon, id come to visit once a year from east coast to search n collect agates red jasper etc along roads end in lincoln city forgerhty creek and newport. coast line, even now he has passed away and we sold my grandmas house i still have 10 of 25 buckets n jars he had them in. good luck
All great places! Cool to hear you and your family had so much history and made great memories along the way. I bet there are quite a few treasures in those buckets!
@@OregonCoastAgates oh that's right!! And I concur! I've traveled widely, but my heart and soul belong to Oregon. Doesn't hurt that my family hails from that land back to the original settlers.
@@OregonCoastAgates some of my favorite parts of the coast. I remember when there was hardly ever a soul out there. Facebook groups changed all of that. We had a little house at Roads End in Lincoln City. Is one of the only original houses through that area.
I have been looking for agates for 53 years now. Agates are getting smaller and smaller and harder to find. I have buckets of them but thinking about taking them back. It's really pointless to keep them to be honest. You never look at them after getting them home. Even in a jar it's not that great.
53 year agate collection! I would LOVE to see what treasures you have in there. I'm curious too, have you tried polishing any? or crafting with any? Thats what we do with many of ours.
Well, first off (agates found on Oregon shores cannot be sold commercially), they are for personal use only. Secondly, agates 'can be' worth money depending on many different factors. To most people agate hunting they are never planning on selling them, but ornamental pieces to craft with or be on home display with.
I'm on the Oregon beach all the time, riding my electric bike! I can cover way more area this way as I look for agate! Check out this video I shot a few days ago! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cjIaIJFluqY.html
You do realize that you can be local and a tourist at the same time right? Nothing said here is/was a secret, and the coastline is all public, so don't get it twisted. Do you hate crabbing or fishing video's because you're not catching the same about of crab or fish? This was meant to promote a family friendly recreation that anyone and everyone has the right to enjoy here.
Really? You didn't pick up on how to look down at the ground where rocks are normally? I explained where to start off looking when you get to a beach, what some typical finds are, how to know if they are an agate vs jasper, and some of the general do's and don'ts. Whats missing? I mean you do realize finding agates are about chance right? It's not a given thing always, you have to HUNT for them.
