I Found The Source Of Agates! | Oregon Coast Rockhounding 

Oh great very nice place.

Skookum- my aunt talked about camping with her husband there. Rode their horses from Ten Mile to Roseburg. Stayed with friends. Rode horses and camped all the way. She was born in 1892. Archie Bushnell, her husband was an engineer for Douglas Co. Roads Dept. I’ve still huge cones she gave me from Sugar Pine. Always get them out at Christmas. Thank you for all the information and finds!!

Just a little info. Quartz makes up 86% of the Earth's crust. So there is quite a variety of stones that are quartz. You best tool for identification is a knife blade if your knife can't scratch it it's likely quartz. Knife blade 5 hardness quartz 6-6.5 hardness.

Great haul!!!! Great video!! Keep posting your cool finds!!!

nice beach sweet finds , beautiful out there . reallt cool carnelians and other agates , subscribed you

I sure wish I was interested in rock hunting when my parents were alive and living in Salem, Oregon. They would take me to the beach when I visited and my mom was always looking for agates. I’m lucky to own a few she found, one as big as a walnut! Now I am a rockhounder and go to the Great Lakes. You found some really awesome agates on this video!!

Just found your channel! I can’t wait to see more videos 😊

I love the sound they make when rubbed together. Great for trade, back in the day. The sound of money! ☺️

Fantastic Video!! You did good!!! Learned some new stuff as well!!!!! Have a Super Day!!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼

Good Goin

I'm like nooo when you threw the jasper. Lol

Nice finds 👍

I would love to hear your reaction to finding an agate that wasn’t carnelian or chalcedony! lol one with color and banding and/or true waterlines!

I have found the Best stuff on 15 Mile road outside of the Dalles Oregon. Backside of the mountain along the Columbia river. It looks like grass land and they geaze cattle but I found some nice road cuts that exposed rock and it's loaded with baseball size agates and amazing Jaspers. Some huge. I had to get a 20in saw to cut them. There's a 15 Mile creek that runs along the road that I am dying to explore but I'm always working when I'm there so I haven't gotten to yet. Head's up if you're in the area.

I wasn't a rock hound but doing this job for 6 years has turned me into one. I do ground maintenance and spray for weed prevention. So I am always looking down and getting everything wet and they pop when they get wet

Very interesting.I have an interest in them as i found two of them in my new gravel .They look like quartz.

Hi i am Tammy from Malaysia. I just subscribed. This is an interesting video. Thanks!

Just subscribed! Can't wait to see this channel gtow!

Nice haul! I live close to Lincoln City and do all my rock hounding there in the gravel in certain areas I call my "sweet spots." I just right down in there and start pushing the rocks around. I find more that way than just walking along the beach.

👍🏼

I am a newbie rockhound and found agates, the past two weeks, at agate Beach in California. Your video is outstanding for a newbie like myself. I appreciate the clear close-up shots to see the difference between each rock and your clear descriptions of each one. Do you tumble your agates?

Ocean jasper

21.49 Breccia Rock. I took my finds to the Yachats agate and mineral show to have it ID’ed. Some take a nice polish, more so the whitish areas, not so much the tannish parts. If you have a black light, try checking it and some of the other agates out, some will be interesting, but a lot not so much. Happy Hounding!

Is your cat a bengal? I have a kitty named Sasha also. She is bengal. Nice score in all your rocks

Are used to hunt agates and such along the Oregon coast as a teen some 40 years ago, just around the Newport area where I lived, I would love to know where you’re finding these rocky beaches?

"thats a whopper" lol hmm wouldnt say that definetly carnelian and the pins / needle inclusions are sagenite a rutile formation

Bandon Beach, Oregon was covered with jasper. I wish they would let us post a picture in the comments.

Porque no lleva una herramienta para que pueda extraer mejor las piedras

C'mon, just a hint? North or south of Florence?

You found all the stuff all us real Rock 🪨 hounds leave behind 😂🤣

You sure grunt and groan a lot when you get the agates out. Is it that difficult? It’s great to see people get excited agate hunting but you are over the top. How old are you?😊

Why can you go to Washington and tell everyone about Damon point but not tell us where you're at in Oregon??

My opinion I don’t like when people do videos and are really excited about the finds but say I’m not going to say where … lol It’s about the rocks not you sorry …

You think that your digging could cause erosion by digging ? Huh.? Compared to the ocean ?😂😂😂😂
