I return to our favourite camping and rockhounding location to retrieve some beauties that i had left behind, and bring home the biggest rock to date. a beautiful Rhyolite with white chalcedony and carnelian exposed on the surface. Its a rainy camp trip but we bring the ones that got away home.

I was just discussing with a friend that is a geologist about obsessing over a rock I had left at the creek. I went back the next day to get it. I'm glad I'm not the only one. From a Canadian rockhounder thanks for your videos

I didn’t realise how lucky it was until I was editing and realised it was a close call haha! Oh that last bit, I was just looking at it and it’s just beautiful.

Hi guys. Great find. Love max the dog. Animals are great to have around when camping. I had my old Labrador put down two weeks ago. He was my best friend we use to go on some venture a lot. I love camping n connecting with mother earth. Good on ya guys. Blessings.👍 can't wait to see how the big rock looks like cleaned up.

@Rookie_Rockounding 5 лет назад

Judith Allston Oh Judith first off you basically describe the one thing I dread the most about being lucky enough to have a dog as a best friend. I fear the day we have to part. Ughhhh my boy Quinton is 15 this year. Dogs are just the best. Thank you for sharing your lovely comment too. I hope you have a brilliant weekend!

@icatz 5 лет назад

It's so weird watching you. Where I live there's an area in the desert where the ground is covered in chalcedony. Mainly with agate but I dug out a 5 pound piece stained with iron oxides. Never found rhyolite, though. Keep hunting!

@symonsheppard5519 5 лет назад

icatz Chalcedony etc is an infill rock formed in cavities, if it is as I suspect , the original host rock was softer than chalcedony and was eroded away that would explain why there are pieces of chalcedony laying around . Most iron stains can be removed by soaking in oxalic acid or any similar domestic product used for descaling.

@Rookie_Rockounding 5 лет назад

icatz It sounds like you’re describing a rockhounds heaven! And woah! A 5 pounder of chalcedony 😳 That’s so awesome! Happy weekend to you my friend and happy hounding!

@icatz 5 лет назад

@@Rookie_Rockounding There is also a significant amount of agate, and, if you're very lucky, fire agate. Of course it's better after a rain. I don't have the equipment to carve or even cut. I enjoy watching you cut. Also, it's brutal desert here, you can only hound for about 4 months of the year unless you like heat stroke. Thanks for the vids.

@travisguide4516 5 лет назад

Your correct about some rhyolite being porous like pumice because pumice is a form of rhyolite

Oh cool! Yeah we’ve been back, but I think it wasn’t very long lasting. There was definitely a bit of difference in the gravel bars though and I did find my biggest agate yet 😳😁 We really need the rains out here soon. If not for the rocks at least for some relief from the fires. We’re good where we are but man, down south it’s been relentless. Sorry went on a tangent there 🤦‍♂️ Havagudun mate!!!!!

Shame about the rain and awesome at the same time, fresh pickings for next time! Awesome as always! There's no such thing as a disappointing Rookie video! I went back for the big yellow Jasper I found and it was GONE! The grader had been through again so I think it was scooped up. I'm going to recruit a search party!

@christinegilbertkeener411 5 лет назад

Wow! I have to say, I'm so happy you came to your senses and went back after that big boy in the road!!! I don't know that I would have left it in the first place but I'm also obsessive and stubborn to a fault ha ha. You guys are my kindred spirits. The dog was proof..... As obsessed as I am with rockhounding,( and believe me...I am!🤣), my 2 boxers are more to me than I can put into words. My nine year old boy is the love of my life and my husband and my 3 sons are fully aware!! I'm guessing that Bennie belongs to Max? 😁. I can't wait to see the inside of that big guy. When I knew you were going back after it I could hardly wait for this video. I'm equally excited for the next. The next two weeks can't come fast enough. Till then, my hounds and I will be on the hunt for that one in a million find that is perfection in our own eyes that each of us look out of as individuals. Happy hounding guys. Hope y'all have a great weekend ❤️❤️

Chrysti Keener Hey Chrysti! Oh that’s so cool, yeah dogs are the best friends in the world. Couldn’t live without em. Yeah Benny belongs to max, he’s the cutest big puppy and loves cuddling like he’s a small dog haha! I’m so glad we got the big guy out, and found the other one. I know what you mean too, 2 weeks feels like ages now 😣 but hopefully it’ll be worth the wait... I wish I had the spare time to make a vid every week again, but I just don’t want to rush it. Maybe one day though I’ll be able to 😊 Until then have an awesome couple of weeks and go get some beauties with your hounds 😁👍 Happy houndin my friend!!

@symonsheppard5519 5 лет назад

Thirst Fast Let Jesse set the stakes and the people decide the winner. Just the fact that stromatolites are only found on the other side of the country (I believe) puts your statement into question.

@thirstfast1025 5 лет назад

@@symonsheppard5519 The *oldest* stromatolites occur in the Pilbara, but there are some in the older sedimentary layers in Qld. I have in fact researched the locations of them, hence my confidence. I also don't accept youtube commenters as an officiator. Something like an examination by a qualified geologist seems like what we'd get a more accurate analysis from.

@g-ology1677 5 лет назад

@@symonsheppard5519 I think the layers are too continuously fine to be rhyolite. Rhyolitic eruptions are associated with not only a typically larger scale of clastic material than we see here, but also less consistent, and usually more poorly graded. You wouldn't see so many layers uninterrupted by larger clasts. Much more likely sedimentary in origin. Whether or not it's stromatolitic, closer analysis is needed. 😀 I may be a little biased though...

@MichiganRocks 5 лет назад

Last summer I showed a friend a picture of one I left behind and he convinced me to go back and get it. I think it was about a three or four hour kayak ride one way, but I went right to it and found it. I’m glad your found your rhyolite. That should look cool sliced up.

@symonsheppard5519 5 лет назад

I like Max, he is cool and friendly, I also like his pet Benny. The piece you said was good as a specimen is very interesting, what caught my eye was the agate at the bottom displaying several types of chalcedony in one rock. I think it was the opal hunters, the rock does look promising for common Opal , parasites should stay in their swamp. The big one ! so you have got a big one eh ! no comment other than you did a commando raid under the cover of darkness without night vision goggles, snake sticks, roo gloves in case of a chance meeting with a boxing kangaroo. That one you dug up needs further inspection and then cutting down into manageable pieces, I normally trim any I get so I can see the pattern and select the best way to cut for exposing the maximum beauty. The one that got away ! for me? I'm honoured. Thank you.

Great adventure and of course you camp it rains doesn’t matter where u live it seems to happen and some sweet finds and of course the monster you got it fantastic I bet it is going to have some sweet colour and lines on the inside if u have to use a hammer to bring her down to cutting size look for fractures they sometimes help to break it up hope it works out for u. That one would make a beautiful pendant for a necklace next time my friend be safe

Rain....it's only good in small amounts lol. Too much and your fun day in the creek is a washout. We have lots of flash flooding here in Texas, sometimes will ruin your day

stinkygraykitty Yeah, but hopefully it will mix the top layers of rock up a bit for us 😉 Definitely makes it near impossible to find stuff while it’s up. Hopefully 😊
