Welcome to another video!
First off, this is a very long video, but since this was all just 1 trip I didn't feel right about splitting it up.
I'd love some feedback on if all of you enjoy these longer video's, or if you'd rather have me split it up? On this one I just based it on my own watching habits, and figured it could be watched over a stretch of time rather than 1 sitting.
With that said, this was an absolute perfect day. I found so many fun agates, jasper agates, jasper, petrified wood and a piece of chert.
The agates especially are so fun. A lot have banding, crystal pockets, nodules, some you can tell there's something inside, colors, all on the beautiful Oregon coast. Doesn't get much better!
I will make a separate video about all the stuff I found today, because there's a lot to look at, too much for this already long video.
Stay tuned for that!
Thank you all for watching!
Tot de volgende keer
(Until next time)

When I was a kid in the '60s, my family, on yearly vacations, combed the Oregon beaches from Astoria to Bookings. We would bring home multiple 5-gallon buckets of agate. On one vacation, I also scored five glass floats, one of which was 8". I still have them today.

As is often the case, it's a lot of "being at the right place at the right time", that doesn't mean it wasn't a bunch of fun though lol. Thank you very much, and thank you for watching!

Wow nice chunck of Carnelian! and I love pet wood. Never throw away a nice piece of jasper unless you can throw it all the way to the Netherlands ok? wish I was there looking for stones! I did watch it all to the end but on fast....makes you look even more hyped up hahaha
@DutchmansAgates

Haha, I wish I could! There's so much of it, I'd have it laying around everywhere if I took it all. That's all good, I appreciate you watching it all. I considered splitting it up, I just don't think it would've come out quite how I would've liked. I'm already looking forward to the next time.

Love watching you find agates. Which OR beach is your favorite beach?
@lynneftw
@lynneftw Месяц назад
Over my lifetime, I must have walked over thousands of agates. Growing up in Texas, I always saw quartz "rocks," so I guess I was used to them, and felt that agates must have been the same thing. Zero interest, lol. I still don't quite understand the fascination with hunting them (I have lived in opal, star garnet, and thunder egg country for 23 years now). What draws you to looking for agates, and what do you end up doing with them? Some people just collect for fun, some sell, some polish or tumble or cut them. What's your deal?
@DutchmansAgates
@DutchmansAgates Месяц назад
Thank you for your comment. I like how most of them are different in some way, either in color, banding pattern or type (nodule, vein, even geode). I don't do much with them yet, clean them up, put a coating of mineral oil on them and sort them by size to look at. When I started it gave me a reason to get out, go to a beautiful beach, go to a peaceful creek/river. Then I made my first video, since I already made gardening videos, and turned out people liked to watch them, so here we are today. Thank you for watching!

Dankjewel Bob! Ja soms laten ze zoveel licht door dat ze inderdaad erg op barnsteen lijken. Zou dat ook wel leuk om te vinden. Kun je op de eilanden vinden als ik het me goed herriner.

What coast are you on? The agates you are finding are like the ones we find on here in DelNorte and Southern Oregon.

I know the location is being held very secret and i respect that, but are you willing to say if youre north or south of Lincoln City? I'm watching this vid with my son and he wants to jump in the car immediately. We're in Hillsboro.
@carey_metv
@carey_metv 9 месяцев назад
Lincoln city is a Great spot!
@DutchmansAgates
@DutchmansAgates 9 месяцев назад
Thank you for respecting that. It's further south, but just know that any beach with gravel that gets hit by the tide should be a good agate spot along the Oregon coast. Lincoln city as Carey suggested is also a good spot. :)

Can you tell me which beach you are on? Would love to give it a go.
@DutchmansAgates
@DutchmansAgates 2 месяца назад
Thank you for asking nicely. I found this beach driving down the 101, which wasn't on some website. So unfortunately because of that I keep this one to myself. When looking for a spot find a beach that has gravel, that gets hit by the tide. That's all you really need to find agates on the west coast. Notable beaches are around Pacific City, Lincoln City and Tillamook. I hope it helps!
@billywhitehorn6397

the white you are finding is common opal
@DutchmansAgates

It's possible, I believe they're chalcedony though because they often have faint banding.

What beach is that?
@DutchmansAgates
@DutchmansAgates Месяц назад
It's on the Oregon coast, I refer to as my "favorite spot". I found it driving down the 101, since I had to find it myself. There will be many I will share in the future.

@DutchmansAgates Год назад
This is what I often refer to as my "favorite spot" in my video's, because it is. But this is one I'd like to keep to myself. With that said, when you're looking for a beach containing agates, look for the ones that have gravel on them. Especially gravel beaches where the ocean reaches the gravel during high tide. That allows the ocean to stir up and deposit agates, amongst other rocks. I hope that helps.

@@wendicollinsworth6964 Currently I rub some mineral oil on them and put them in glass vases to display them. One day I'd like to give them a gentle polish, just to shine them up permanently.

This is my special spot on the Oregon coast. If you're looking for a spot to hound look for beaches that have gravel that can get hit by the tide, allowing churning of the rocks. Thank you for watching!

@DutchmansAgates

I like to be on location before the sun comes up, so I can spend a full morning on the beach/river/creek. Is that strange? Or is it just strange to you?

I do the same thing at Damon point. Might as well look while you’re waiting for the sun to come up. I don’t think it’s strange. Got to beat everyone out there to get first pick

Love all the beautiful agates and the jasper!! I dislike the way you take the Lord's name in vain! He's the reason you are able to find all the beauties. And hearing you constantly invoking his name makes me cringe. In my view, hes name should be used reverently and lovingly not as a drop phrase all the time. Do love the vid tho! Thanks!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. That has crossed my mind a few times, I'm not religious and Dutch people in general aren't very religious. However, I do realize my audience is mostly American which are more religious. I'll just not say it, not trying to step on any toes.
