crazy that youve got from

I really appreciate the time lapse of the drive in. Gives me an idea of whether or not my car can handle the road. It made it through glass butte without any trouble, so this looks easy enough.

Wow it's like every town had a satellite mountain! I thought you where in Arizona's satellite mountain! I live in New Mexico where, we also have a satellite and sattleback mountains. Really cool how they are all places you can Get petrified wood and agates!

Thanks for posting the wonderful day out at Saddle Mountain! Appreciate you taking the time to take and share with all the rest of us hounders! Looked like you found some really nice specimens for cutting/polishing! Hope you have a great rest of your week~

Hello CR, I made the trip to Saddle Mountain yesterday, March 10, 2021. It was my first rockhounding adventure outside of a 70 mile radius from my house. Everything went well except I'm not sure I was at site B, or, the spot where you were- if that is site B. I had doubts when I got to my location, but there were so many holes that had been refilled I thought if it isn't site B then it must be site A. I'm just hoping it wasn't on private land. When I got home I double checked by watching yours and Vug Meister's videos and referenced my location off the two radio towers in the background. All I know is I'm pretty sure I wasn't at the same spot you guys were at. All I had was a printed Google map and the Gem Trails book, no cell phone or GPS. I refilled all my holes which were pretty small. I filled one 5 gallon bucket with mostly pretty small pieces. I'm thinking I didn't get any of the good stuff that I might have gotten if I were in the right spot, but I love it all nonetheless and plan to tumble every last bit of it. Thanks.

I actually went to that spot today! It had a few inches of snow that made it interesting. My son liked sliding while I dug out the hole.

Thanks for watching everyone!

LOL, "Take it home. TAKE EVERYTHING!" :D

Lots of people must be digging for the really big stuff. Nice of them to leave the beautiful little pieces for you! It's hard to believe the amount of material there. Interesting to find it without the wearing down and rounding from a creek or river. Thanks for taking us on your very scenic adventure!

Pet wood is cool. I notice you call it opalized...I've heard others call it agatized. I think it looks like opal!

i love finding petrified wood. It is usually brown and not agatetized. It is tumbled from the river.I am going to do a finding petrified wood video soon. take care and thanks for taking me along.

I would take any and all those 'discards' love it all! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for letting me come along for the ride, cool place, nice haul :)

High iron content in some of the material, especially the deeper black material. My favorite was the limb cast found in 10 inches or less below the surface.

I was out hunting for arrowheads today but I rather be digging for pet wood. I can't believe how much is there and it was some nice stuff to. Thanks for showing us the views to it looks so beautiful out there.

This place goes on my bucket list for sure. Thank you for the info!

Wow, what a great haul of petwood! Glad you could get out. :)

I love the blue in the pieces you found

Thanks for sharing. I can almost smell the sagebrush from here. I miss it.

Great video. Can’t wait to check out Saddle Mountain. Just bought a slab saw and picked up a few pieces from the sale that looked liked they came from that area

Amazing stuff. Man. We are loving our finds

Petrified wood is my absolute favorite, Awsome video 👍👍👍, we dont have it laying around like that where I live in south dakota so I have to actually hunt for it, but I dont mind hunting for it is half the fun and gets me out of the house

Beautiful finds! I dug in Wyoming where there was supposed to be blue pet wood. Someone had come in with a backhoe and tore the whole area up and I did not find one piece. A little greed goes a long way. Your so good with your cameras work too. Keep it up! Havagudun my friend.

Wow, awesome collection of PW. Thanks for getting us out of the house and taking us along. I really like the limb casts and the knot that looks like a bowl. Hope the pup will be okay. Carpet, not really good for belly. Maybe she’s antsy from being quarantined. How’s the garden coming along?

Love your videos! Quick question- is this dig site on public or private land? Just don't wanna get in trouble when digging!

11:50 I think I discarded that piece at that pit 😂 I wanted full limbs

59,👍 thumbs up!! Those small multi-colored rocks. If you could cut them they would make a nice pendant. You ever make jewelry with your rocks? Thanks for sharing I look forward to hear from you by 4 now 🎇

thats it, you guys box all them pieces up and let me know the shipping cost!! that is a beautiful area you guys are in, that is part of the treasure!

Ok,..I'm confused..I clicked on your site thinking it was saddle Mt. Arizona!..where fire agates are all over the ground to pick up..I watched an episode on utube (agate Dad)..I didn't realize Washington had a similar area,but yours is just as awesome!!..pet wood is freaking amazing!!..good job!..and I found another utube channel to sub to!! thanks! BTW..you do any other rock hounding?? agates? Others?..

its coming up at sentinel mountain not saddle mountain...please help

Pit #1 is it!

So I’m up here at saddle mountain right now. How do u get to the road to go up towards the mountain

Looks like you can access the pit in a stand car??

Hey, so I have 4 buckets full from saddle yesterday, I dumped 7 gallons of regular white vinegar in them a few hours ago. I am wondering, should I be using the more acidic cleaning vinegar? And is a 24 hr soak about appropriate?

Is Saddle Mountain currently accessible?

Made 2 trips there in February...brought home about 3 five gallon buckets full. More than I know what to do with...lol.

Do you have a Facebook account by chance would like to ask you for some info about cleaning
