In this one, we head out for a short hunt on the Yellowstone and are treated to a wide variety of finds! Tons of jaspers covered in fortifications, Montana agates, banded chert, coral fossils, and even some Baculites! There was no knowing what we may find next! The biggest score of the day however, was the weirdest Montana agate that I've ever found; a big knobby tube agate with banded tubes poking out in every direction! We have a found a lot of Montana agates, but I have NEVER seen one like this! After our hunt we head back to the shop where we cut some of our finds! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out soon!'

That tube agate is just phenomenal! And the baculites are always amazing. And the stromatolites are some of my favorite finds! The jaspers were so colorful,I wish you had cut more. But for a short hunt, you did amazing! Thanks Theo!

@2wahineandadog 11 месяцев назад

Your so giggly and happy with that tube agate and I'm all jealous and grumpy - what a stunner!!!!

@fireflyidaho1 11 месяцев назад

I love all the jaspers and that tube agate-thing is wild! The rocks may have been dirty and you had to work for them but what a reward!! Thanks for taking us along 😊

@bryannakvinda8411 11 месяцев назад

I love hate your videos I hate I don't live in your state and love every time a new video pops up in my notifications. Keep up the great content my friend!

@whackidoodle 11 месяцев назад

I like that you include both the finding and the cutting on the same videos. Feels like it makes the discovery more complete.

Dude, I swear I was craving an apple fritter from this Thumbnail. awesome stuff.

@leslieprather2611 11 месяцев назад

That is one big ass agate!😮 I'm sure Travis would agree with me. Dude you totally ruled the gravel today! And that's how it's done! And in silt no less. I totally would have been doing the Agate 💃 dance.

@jenibartolotti8614 11 месяцев назад

That Jasper with the green and blue stripes looks just like Gary Green Jasper that I thought was only found along the Oregon/Washington border. It’s my most favorite jasper of all time!

@CanvasJules Месяц назад

That's a killer agate for sure! Kelly aka MRM is going to fall in love with that one. ❤

@savagesquirrel9828 11 месяцев назад

I love the tube agate, too, but it’s torture, because I want to see inside….even though I agree it is too cool to cut. Great hunt. Thanks.

@Doxymeister 11 месяцев назад

Oh look! Totally appropriate for upcoming Halloween! @11:27, on that amygdaloidal basalts, on the upper left-hand side of the rock is a tiny ghostly octopus! LOL, it's totally not, but does resemble one. But, the green pockets in the reddish basalt are so cool, I love it. I scanned the comments though and it looks nearly unanimous, the "tube agate" wins this video! Some pretty cool finds this trip, Theo, thank you for taking us along.

@kaschbourbeau7413 11 месяцев назад

That charcoal grey Jasper is a wood replacement you could see the wood grain when you turned and it had multiple colors at 15.27

@aqua1082 11 месяцев назад

Fossil, shell, unique agate. Shell's and fossils are my squirrels when I'm out on a walk. I never get much walking in 😂, I'll sit down and start moving rocks/dig.

@margosaunders5705 11 месяцев назад

The closed captioning at 11:12 says "Omega little" basalt. I found it in my Audubon Field Guide to Rocks and Minerals, and the real name is amygdule "...and the resulting structure amygdaloidal". Quite a stretch, but it is what it is! Fantastic!

@DebbyRaup-vt5rh 2 месяца назад

@bethcorey6022 11 месяцев назад

The dark one, forgot what you called it but it reminds me of a flooring that was popular in the’60s and’70s

@michaelbearss371 11 месяцев назад

Great finds! I'd love to see that red jasper piece after it's polished.. would be pretty sweet I'm sure!

@kastah 11 месяцев назад

so much green in that amygdoial basalt or what you called it😂 It was beutiful yes. Jasper never disappointing😊👍

@twostonefox 11 месяцев назад

Hi Theo, I love your channel. I think that at 16:30 minutes into the video you are holding an agatized stromatoporoid. Earlier, in the video when you're rock hunting, I see you pick up rocks a couple times that are also stromatoporoid fossils, which are ancient sea sponges that could possibly be a billion years old. I'm not always 100% certain without actually holding and examining things in person, but that's what I think. I live in Michigan and find them in the lake often enough to know what they look like. ~Thurston~

@Doxymeister 11 месяцев назад

I was thinking maybe an agatized coral of some kind, but you are probably right. Was just one of the weirdest-looking agates I've seen. Thanks for the input!

@twostonefox 11 месяцев назад

@Doxymeister Hi Theo, thanks for the reply. I don't think it's a coral fossil, because of the decided absence of corallites. The prominent cellular banding on the one side is common in agatized/silicified sponge fossils that I find. Also, at minute 14:30 is another agatized sponge fossil. Again, I'm not 100% certain without hands on, only fairly certain. Thanks for all you do and all the videos that record everything. You find rocks and fossils that I can only dream about. Best Regards!

@Debbie4729 11 месяцев назад

The bumpy agate definitely drew me in to watch this video,but I was hoping you would slice it so we could see the insides.But I get it-I have one that I found in a place that never has agates,and I am still trying to figuring out where to start.I love the basalt,and the shell! I get such a kick out of the idea that large clams can live in fresh water!I love how well it cleaned up!

@lolajo2850 11 месяцев назад

Wow! I've never seen a tube agate in real life. It looks bizarre, but beautiful.

@aaryngulledge5681 11 месяцев назад

Cut the tube agate! Life is too short to not know what it looks like inside!! Great finds, my friend.

@dustinfindsrocks 11 месяцев назад

I need to look for more banded chert. It’s just usually not very colorful here… I’m probably just showing my crystal/fossil bias here 😂 that tube agate was cool! I was excited to find a small Montana agate recently. It’s pretty sad by your standards but my son found it last week on the Mississippi and I really think it’s a Montana agate!

@jennifershipp2599 11 месяцев назад

Nice finds.❤😊❤

@tanekarnes5260 11 месяцев назад

I was hoping you would have cut the big agate with the possible tubes. Really curious on the inside.

@Doxymeister 11 месяцев назад

Okay, about that "tube agate", @18:19, that's almost got to be some kind of agatized organic life, like a stubby finger-coral, maybe, or some type of stromatolite? I know you don't want to cut it, but could you maybe compromise (for those of us dying of curiosity) by slicing off the very bottom so that it sits squarely on a surface? Wouldn't that improve it's appearance as a display piece AND satisfy the curiosity of your fans? This is me wheedling, LOL. 😂Thanks, Theo!

@deidremcintosh6892 7 месяцев назад

Theo I love your channal. Rock hounding makes me so happy ,I have found some incredible Jasper in a mountain river in Victoria Australia, Clear water with gorgeous tumbled rocks. Tell me how I can send you a picture of what I found. I live in Australia

@dawnwilkinson8717 11 месяцев назад

I wish we could see inside the crazy tube agate but I understand why you want to keep it whole.

@1sec2midnight 11 месяцев назад

Looked like a tough hunt with all the dirt coated rocks. The amygdaloidal basalt has to be my favorite. The polished ordinary old shell is nice. I was hoping the banded chert would be spectacular, but it was a little on the ho-hum side. Thanks for sharing.

@aprilgoodman4504 11 месяцев назад

It's what Kate would say is quasper.

@maryzefo3801 11 месяцев назад

How I feel I live in Illinois and there's a lake here that a certain time of year I can find a lot of mussel shells I never even thought of polishing it I've collected a couple bags over 10 years and I've saved them because on the inside where it's already shiny I'll see growths almost like natural pearls on the inside...... And also you are an expert I have such a hard time telling the difference between agate and Jasper 🙈 as always thank you for sharing and I to like it that you cut and polish some in the same video 👍

@rvtravelingbeachbumsstevea4105 11 месяцев назад

Great video and great finds Theo ! Love love love Jasper! How do you polish the clam shell?

@theresabraddock9310 11 месяцев назад

youre very good at identifying and describing the rocks you find. its helped me to identify some of my own finds. believe it or not Ive found a gorgeous stromatolite and a beautiful corprolite? in amongst the border-planter rocks in a strip mall parking lot. Ive also found fascinating rock specimens along one small stretch of railroad tracks. cant get to the mountains, rivers and streams but theyre brought closer in rural city areas as ballast and garden decoration.

@margosaunders5705 11 месяцев назад

Do you mean "coprolite"? You know what coprolite is, right? Ha, ha!

@cynergy4 11 месяцев назад

I like the weird agate, I like weirdness 🙃

@kevinunger433 11 месяцев назад

That agate at 6:30 you have to cut that.

@Edelstones 11 месяцев назад

Could the crazy Agate (out of this world) perhaps been a stromatolite (organic features) to begin with and then turned agate? Or isn’t that an option?

@bethcorey6022 11 месяцев назад

If you did cut that weird agate, would you find pockets or are they solid❤?

@graemero5532 11 месяцев назад

Theo, could you please stop making the colour of rocks in the thumbnail brighter and more vibrant as it only leaves me disappointed when I see the rocks in the video. The agate in the thumbnail looks orange and yellow, yet in the video it is a tan colour. 😞

@TheoKellison 11 месяцев назад

I do not up color saturation at all. It is completely a difference in lighting quality and my camera, it records in much lower resolution than when i take photos so colors often seem muted compared to the picture quality. The agate is in fact bright orange and yellow. Looking into replacing my camera so i can recird in higher resolution to avoid the issue. The gopro is even worse about muting colors
