@mitchgillilan 3 года назад

this place looks insanely desolate, gotta love the high desert! Just a few rockhounds and a few million pounds of agate lol. But honestly is it quantity over quality? It kinda looks that way to me, but I wasnt there, so you tell me. Still really impressive just in sheer quantity!

@CurrentlyRockhounding 3 года назад

So I kinda agree with you here about the quantity over quality, let me explain, I certainly picked up and brought home some agate that is pretty meh... but I also got some really good one, I think part of the problem with a place like this is that it's so big, there such a lack of information on the location that its hard to know what is really good and that's a big part of this project here and the video, someone like yourself can my mistakes and wins and build off of them.

@mitchgillilan 3 года назад

@@CurrentlyRockhounding when I pick up a stone, and if it doesnt speak to me, I leave it nowdays. I try and look it over with a mindset of "do I really need this?" If it looks like a big white 20 pound chunk of fractured chalcedony, I know its going to look even more BLAH when I take it home and look at it lol. We can all learn someting from our instincts, and not act on impulsive "I NEED THIS" type of thinking. I know your pretty good about leaving the junk and taking the quality only.

@jtheprospector.1458 3 года назад

It is very desolate. Not far from here is the blue mountain jasper mine. Some of the best quality agate and jasper in America. I have a collection of it.

I loved this so much! I love the material, your fellow Rock hounds because I watched them both, and you're exploring my state. I live between Medford and Jacksonville so I really enjoy Andrew as a fellow rogue valley person. I also subscribe to Shawn. I can't wait to see what you do with your beautiful material. And something I was wondering, would your dog run away if she wasn't on a leash? I know mine sure would.

@CurrentlyRockhounding 3 года назад

She loves chasing things and we worry that if she was off leash she will see a deer and just chase it forever.

@rachaelb9164 2 года назад

We all need to enjoy this area while we can. There is a huge controversy in that area regarding massive commercial lithium mining that would completely destroy the scenery, drain what bit of groundwater there is and create pollution and semi truck traffic and noise in the area. The native tribes are protesting as are local farmers and nature lovers (including rockhounds). We need to push companies to find ways to mine minerals in a more eco friendly manner. Wow those are huge rocks!!!

@clikrf8 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, we rockhound near there and ranchers are not happy. Overallocation of water is big thing.

When you are in that area, check out the petrified wood piled up around the cattle guards. They're clean from sitting off the dirt for years and you can see some amazing wood grain patterns. Don't take any of them, of course, as they were put there for a reason, but it will give you an idea of what's out there all around you!
