Microscope!! Hooray!! So thrilled you have one. I remember you going to Montana Rock Mom & using one.. Oh, Happy Day.. Now you won't go blind trying to see the details.. Congrats!!
My face is actually hurting from all the smiling and jaw dropping this video created! I have to say anyone who watches this will be infected with your happiness and joy. I am so thankful you have acquired this and are willing to share the fantastic up close reviews of fossils and slabs! I hope you get some still shots of the amazing slabs and have them blown up and printed as art work! They would make fantastic displays in any home!
Dude, it's such an awesome instrument for you! Those fish fossils came out so cool looking AND CLEAN! The insects in the amber are so fantastic to see! Everything was so interesting and really fascinating! Thanks for sharing!
@@brianholcomb940 it really is a dream come true!!! It's going to be such an unbelievable asset for fossil prep😄 I've never been able to prep those fish THAT clean before! Thank you so much for watching!😄
I have been wanting a nice digital scope for a long while. I have a really cheap one with a broken mount, and it has to be connected to my computer. I will definitely be getting one of those Tomlov 4K digital scopes. That large baseplate is perfect for working under the microscope. Plus, it has its own screen & recording capabilities. I like it a lot. I'm really looking forward to seeing more micro sticks and stones. Ou! Are those my fishes?! I know right where they are going.
@@RockyMountainBear I was extremely impressed by it! There are other good digital scopes out there but the nice big base plate for working on this one is absolutely ideal for actually working under the scope, and not just looking at things! I've been wanting a good scope specifically for silver smithing and fossil prep for so long and this one is absolutely perfect for it! And having it's own high resolution monitor is so dang nice. Absolutely highly recommend tomlov! Also yes I do believe that is your fish!!!😂
I'm absolutely excited for you! Well deserved my friend. I love everything about this very educational channel. It's going to be soooooo exciting seeing what you create from this tool in 2024 🎉much love from Michigan ya'll
So happy for 😂you an proud you have done everything own ur own an I’m sure u could’ve had free stuff every day of the week but u did choose something the was needed for important use ..❤❤❤❤
@@CrystalBrock-z7z yeah I really try to avoid sponsorships, I don't have anything against them, it's just something I don't typically like to do. my two rules are 1) it has to be something that directly pertains to the channel or what we do at the shop, And 2) it has to be something I would go out of my way to purchase and have full confidence recommending to other people, and this scope absolutely fits both of those criteria. It really is a fantastic microscope! Thank you so much for watching!😄
I'm so thrilled that you got this amazing tool. Until this video, I had no idea the extent of the work that you do, and your passion is contagious. I don't hunt fossils, but I have some amazing ones. I think I might start researching this intriguing hobby. If I'm lucky enough to find something half as nice as your specimens here, I'll for sure be looking into one of these gadgets. I could feel your love for this tool through my phone screen. Stay safe! Thanks for the content! ❤
@@lorrik.7341 there really is, and it is so stressful working on those fish😅 they are unbelievably fragile so any wrong move and you can flake off huge chunks on accident, so the scope is an unbelievable asset for making sure I'm prepping safely😄 thanks so much for watching!
That is amazing! It's funny because I just bought a digital microscope for my boyfriend for his birthday, and he has had problems with the two he has tried so far and he is on his third try now! The first two were from the same company and was one that was recommended by another RU-vidr that does not endorse products on his channel and he bought the microscope on his own after researching several different brands and liked it well enough to do a video on it. And now I will have to suggest this one to him now! And funniest part was, as a test , he too stuck some peitersite, under the microscope, and he found crystals in a cab that you couldn't see with the naked eye! Really cool! His biggest complaint was the lighting. The LEDs were a yellow light and on the less expensive model we got first, the were white lights, and they were both the same manufacturer. Weird but now he is trying another one!?! So I am definitely going to suggest he watch this video and see if this one solves his problem! Thanks Theo, for the timely review of this microscope! 🎉
This opens up a whole new revenue stream for you. You could sell photos of the most spectacular stuff. Nature's art. The stuff you showed, it is so beautiful. It would be cool if you could put a thumbnail of eye view and a blow up of the magnified view - somehow, someway. I want one!
Awesome! 👊Fun days ahead with that beauty👍 I would get one of the closeups of the coast rock n get it printed on a window blind😊or a shower curtain would be nice too 😄
Wonderful tool! I’d love to use this to look through some petrified wood samples I’ve picked up over the years in Gallatin county. I’m sure you would get a kick out of them too Theo. Thanks for the wonderful video!
@@Panicagq2 it is seriously fantastic! And work or play are both perfect 🤣 I've been putting every rock within arms reach under that thing, I told myself it'd be more work than play but I definitely have way more playtime hours than working hours on it now😂 also yes, every time Alexis comes into the shop she has to be coerced to walk away from the scope 🤣 thanks so much for watching!
@@katydidiy there will definitely be more with the scope! It is so addicting to work with😂 whether I'm fossil prepping or just looking at rocks, I've found that an intended few minutes quickly becomes a few hours without even realizing 🤣 thanks so much for watching!
@@anniegironne8444 you can! It takes really high resolution photos as well! I'm definitely planning on making some prints from my rocks, some of those pictures are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so much for watching!😄
@@cjgia4898 I sent them out on Wednesday but it may not have sent out🤦 PayPal does that sometimes and it's really annoying 😂🤦 I'll void the other invoice and send a new one today!
Is the big blue black rock that shocked you and everyone else how freaking blue it was, petrified wood after all?? Would LOVE to see it and the small blue and purple agates (chalcedony you've found).
But.. But.. But Theo.... How do you really feel about the Tomlov Scope??? (I'm kidding of course). I told you that out of several scope's that I own, the Tomlov was very good (in this price-point category imho). I get lost for hours using mine and then I look at the watch and think.. "wow, where did the time go?" Congrats Dude on securing one in 4k!
Hey I have some rocks and fossils I've found here in Texas I'd like your advice on what they are if possible. I'm still learning all the time. Thank you in advance if you have time.
