In this one we head out to meet up with our friend KatydidRocks to go out on her boat in search of islands! The Yellowstone river is dropping very nicely, exposing a slew of amazing new rocks just waiting to be discovered! We found beautiful gems....but one recurring theme from this hunt was seriously oddball finds! Oddly patterned Montana agates, Agates with strange textures and even crystal pockets, unusual agatized and even "jasperized" wood, and one of the nicest Treasure State Agates I've ever seen that even had pockets of amethyst! It was one fantastic day out on the river! Hope you all enjoyed this one, and I will have another one out very soon!
Huge shoutout to Kate for inviting us along to join her and Jim on the boat! It's always a fun time hanging out with them! If you have not already, make sure to check out her channel!

I think Kate and Alexis won the day. Cheers to you all and we are happy thr boat made it back. Way to go Jim. Woof to the rock pup.

@donnalantz7981 2 года назад

I love that Alexis has become less camera shy and more vocal. She finds some awesome stuff too.

@TheoKellison 2 года назад

Shes slowly starting to get more comfortable on camera which i am happy about!😄 always more fun when she joins in the videos!

Definitely. She is a riot.

@judywi5545 2 года назад

Theo, thanks for taking us along on another fun rock hunting adventure! I live in the midwest... I'm wondering what is the difference between a Montana agate, and a treasure state agate? How do you distinguish the difference? Enjoyed having Alexis along again!!

@TheoKellison 2 года назад

Great question! So a treasure state agate isnt so much a real classification as it is montanan slang for any opaque fortification agate found specifically along the yellowstone river; montana agates on the other hand are a very broad encompassing agate that covers all moss agates and banded chalcedony found in the yellowstone river drainage from Gardiner to North Dakota

@justjulee9135 2 года назад

What an awesome hunt! Beautiful agates and petrified wood! I do like how Alexis records herself and her finds now! Thanks for sharing ☺️

@TheoKellison 2 года назад

Love that she has started getting in on the filming!😄

@donnabeaudin9114 2 года назад

I love it when you and Alexis go hunting together, you guys have a great chemistry! What AMAZING finds! Awesome agates, beautiful petrified wood, cool TSA, can’t wait to see inside of them! Any possible Iris agates in there? So good seeing Katy and Mr. Did too! Cool adventure, thanks Theo!!

@TheoKellison 2 года назад

I always love it when she joins in for the videos😄 usually she finds a nice spot to knit but ahe does some hunting sometimes too! Definitely a few iris candidates in there, like the little banded one alexis found; we'll have to cut into em soon and find out!😄

@joshuastgeorge2079 Год назад

@nicoleh.5499 2 года назад

Fun to see you & Alexis taking turns! My fav this time was Alexis' BIG mossy agate for sure!! TSA close 2nd. So much fun. I can't wait to see some cut! ❤

@TheoKellison 2 года назад

She definitely found the best agate of the day!😁 that is gonna be one stunning agate when we cut it!

@grantfahlman1815 2 года назад

That island has been incredibly generous to y'all with the gorgeous finds you're bringing home. I too like the mix of finds and commentary from Alexis. As for the finds, I think I have to go with the corals being my favorite(s).

@largent45 2 года назад

I love that Alexis decided, or was coerced into being on camera more! And the way they tease and play is awesome! Love them together! The rocks were nice too! jk! All the fabulous finds, between Alexis and Theo were awesome! My favorite was the TSA with the amethyst! And the moss agate is a close 2nd! And the fossil finds are in a class of their own! what a great day! Great video, both of you Theo and Alexis!

@TheoKellison 2 года назад

That was totally her call actually! We started hunting and i turned around and she had her phone out so i just silently fist pumped to myself and let her do her thing😂 i love when she gets into the hunting! Definitely head over heels for that tsa but im happy to find another coral fan; those things are so dang cool and you really do not see them very often on the yellowstone! That chain coral was probably ome of my favorite finds all day😂 thanks so much for watching!

@jefftrag1956 2 года назад

How nice to see you guys in a boat. No more worries about leaving rocks that you cannot carry!

@TheoKellison 2 года назад

@kylaabegglen1275 2 года назад

You two crack me up!😆 Awesome finds, both of you. Theo please tell me that you aren't going to cut that white TSA with amethyst!😲 Such an incredible piece. Alexis has the eye for finding the great ones too, she did well before but really found some wonderful rocks on this trip.👍 Love the beautiful agates and petrified wood, and the plume is fantastic! Amazing ones with crystals, druzy and bots too. Was there not any jaspers or were you mainly looking for agates and petrified wood? Thanks for sharing your trip out with Kate & Jim, looked really fun!✌️🤠

@TheoKellison 2 года назад

There were jaspers but not actually a whole lot surprisingly🤔 we usually see way more than that, or we may have potentially just had the agate blinders on😅😂 and rest assured that that tsa will definitely NOT be getting cut!😁 im thinking mineral oil and just leave it alone as is; that thing is just amazing as is😄thanks so much for watching!

@TheoKellison 2 года назад

Id be happy to include a clip or two of the cleaning process but im afraid its not as detailed as one might assume😂😅 i just scrub them with dawn dish soap and a tooth brush after getting back to the shop, doesnt normally take too horribly long though😄 thanks so much for watching!

I know I don't comment a lot but do enjoy your vids... I have a channel as well, if you all ever want a reading, it's on the house... It's, False Teeth Real Tarot...

@denisthemineralist4033 2 года назад

While I think the amethyst TSA is pretty freakin' awesome, I'm holding back judgement on the best find of that hunt until I see that blue agate at 15:50 cut. I'm putting my money on that being an INSANE blue banded beauty with a tiny drusy pocket in the center. And I'm not going to sleep well until I SEE it cut, if you get my drift... Please don't make us wait too long to see it cut!

@TheoKellison 2 года назад

That one is definitely going to be on the chopping block asap!😄 i cant wait to see whats hiding in that one!

@denisthemineralist4033 2 года назад

@@TheoKellison I can't wait to see it! By the way, I'll be up in Billings/Miles City for about a week at the end of September and first weekend in October to hunt and shoot some video for my channel. I don't suppose you'll be out on the river then?

@TheoKellison 2 года назад

@@denisthemineralist4033 oh man you couldnt pick a better time to hit the Yellowstone😁 that is easily the best time of year to go agate hunting! Especially over by miles city👍 and definitely could be! Im pretty much on the river every other week so most likely! maybe ill run into you out there!

@lauriepenner350 2 года назад

Amazing haul, Theo! I found a great new spot for pet wood in the Edmonton river valley yesterday and came away with some chonkers! We don't have the agates and jaspers here, but Alberta's petrified wood can be really beautiful and you don't even have to leave town to find it.

If I were forced to choose a fave it would have to be the agate with the crystal pocket. I just love little crystal fairy caverns! I was a bit concerned to see you getting onto any watercraft, but the risk was well worth it! Whatta haul! I also loved seeing the adorable Alexis doing her thing. She's a natural!

@TheoKellison 2 года назад

That crystally agate is so cool!😄 you see them a lot on the yellowstone but they are almost always extremely weathered with rounded or blunted crystals, that is probably the only one ive ever seen that still has such well intact crystals inside!😄 thanks so much for watching!

@leslyeschoenhuth1107 2 года назад

The huge agatized wood at 10:50 mark is a Potato.. LOL Never saw Coral on the Yellowstone. Totally Amazing. Your Petoskey stone Will polish if you are Very Careful & don't over tumble use your wheel too much.. Rob at Michigan Rocks shines them up pretty well.. But ~ his are filled with Agate.. So, the depressions in yours will make polishing Difficult.. ~ The rock at 15:56 mark looked like Granite until you got it right up to the camera.

@shelleys6826 2 года назад

What a fantastic trip! I can’t even choose my favorite, though I think there were some absolutely gorgeous agates on this trip. Love all the screen time of Alexis, miss the puppies.
