I'm from NJ where the best fossils we can find in a public setting are belemnites and the occasional tiny shark tooth. I love watching your videos and seeing the sheer excitement you guys get when you find even the smallest of fossils. I'll be heading out again today to look for some new finds! Thank you guys for sharing your joys with us!

You boys are so brave, risking your very lives to bring us great content! Seriously though, fun and I always learn something. Keep up the great work.

My coolest rainbow experience is my whole life. 🌈 Love your videos!

After leaving my BF'S Fathers funeral & heading home, just before arrival to her house, we saw a Double Rainbow arched over her home! 🌈😲😇

Nice hunt fellows! Those were amazing and the large one is truly fantastic! Thanks for the hunt!

VERY COOL! Thanks for sharing!!!

Very nice Echis!!! My coolest rainbow experience was seeing a double rainbow and seeing a small, flat chunk of rainbow in the sky.

Cool...an crazy little rainbow haha. 👊

Thank you for the echinoids!!!!

I love your channel. I use to live in Florida when I was a kid. My son is 9 and is also named Kyle and he has ADHD and he is also a Wild Kyle. Can't wait till your next video.

You have no idea how envious I am rn you guys got so many beautiful specimens 🤩

Whooboy, yeah... When I was growing up in NW Florida, I and my dad'd go fishing in a place called Willis Landing, and we got caught in a few storms like that; I always worried that a gator would overturn us before we baled enough, and all anybody would find of us would be our shoes. COOLEST RAINBOW EXPERIENCE: While living in Las Vegas, I and my friend Sienna drove over to this teeny town just outside of Death Valley called Tecopa, which had ancient clay hills full of tiny threads of white opal buried in the hardened clay (if you knew where to look, because otherwise it's a pretty desolate place. It does have some nice hot springs, though, and some sort of weird rare desert fish.) We hunted for opals for hours, found quite a few, soaked in the old free bath-house's hot springs (butt-nekked with eight little old ladies from the RV campground across from the bath-house who were having a dirty-joke-telling contest, OH MY GODS I NEVER WOULD HAVE IMAGINED THEY KNEW THOSE) and then drove back. We ran into a storm on the way home, and ended up driving under two huge, vivid rainbows, with the full moon rising straight ahead of us as the day ended. It was very surreal, and my friend later wrote me a song about it called 'Wild Opals' as a birthday gift (she's a very accomplished musician.) Incredible day, incredible place, incredible memories.

Holy shit, I would have been terrified! Be careful out there, guys!

That was so extremely cool, sand dollars yes, but to be able to stand in a rainbow like that was epic..I've seen doubles and amazing rainbows, they all are, but that was coolness..it must mean something, ya think? ..are ya transformed?...haha..just a great share, thanks guys..

Great video Kyle. That big one is killer. Great finds. I’m glad your and Chris survived the monsoon.

Cool! That thick one is what I call a pancake dollar down here in the Florida keys. Never seen a fossil one though that’s awesome

Hey, you found the end of the rainbow!

I love all your videos. I also love how exicted you guys get when you find great things. I get excited to. Love you guys.

Great stuff again guys, keep up the good work. Jorn out :p

Nice location that’s for taking us along

Cool good luck

That was a really cool place to collect . There is a limestone bluff on the Alabama river that is supposed to have some really nice Echinoids and Sand dollars on it . Also in Montgomery Alabama there on Catoma Creek there is a waterfall that is there because there is millions of small Echinoids that form it .

You guys are a blast to watch! You really know how to make it fun. Those fossils are very cool. Thanks for sharing!

i fucking love how giddy you guys get😂 shows how truly passionate y’all are💚

Nice video, keep up the fantastic work👍👍👍👍👍

I loved the video. Look forward to more like this too ;)

Awesome video

Also, this reminds me of a site in Perry GA where you can find sand dollars, scallops and others, 10 million years younger. Went there 2(ish) weeks ago, didn't regret it. (Post on the Forum, Tivola)

Great video and very pretty finds as always!

Always love ur videos :) keep it up

If you have not already you should check out Yankeetown In Florida. They have what they call the spoil islands from when they where dredging a canal through Florida and dumped the sand in the gulf. There is a ton of echinoids out there.

Hey Kyle another good video that was close you were guys were a little too close to that River where that lightning bolt kit. Anyway I enjoy these videos it's always great when you go out and find stuff that's different than what you normally do keep it up look forward to the next one

I was outside after a spring storm and saw a double rainbow with a partial 3rd one! It was amazing!

loved it !

❤❤❤ Cool

I was thinking you were definitely gonna rub that on your face , lol. Those are really cool

The beginning of this video proves my point about bottles in the river, the only argument is they can be sharp... That whole stretch might as well be broken glass...

I love you guys, you're such nerds. ❤️

Once i was in cape cod and two rainbows in the water went straight up didnt curve. My cousin tried kayaking but obviously it didnt work

Absolutely love the vids I wanna start fossil hunting because of u but I don't know where to look, good luck in the future

So what did the other fossil/sand dollar thing end up being species wise? Just curious haha

Get some rubber boots!! That's good you survived what's inside??

That's cool

Again, where are you???? I see sea biscuits!!!

I think the generic name for the big one is a sea bicuit, don't know exact name. A great way to clean off matrix from them is a 6" wire wheel on a motor. Use a course one to take off large amounts then a fine one to clean down to the shell part which is much harder. The fine wire wheel will actually polish them. Next year when I am there I will take you to a place where you can pick up 5 gallon pails of perfect large ones in a few hours. On the way there are giant mounds of Indian collected sea shell with holes poked in them by Indians so they could get the meat out. Another thing about the wire wheel. When you have a glob of matrix with several of them in it you can sculpt a super cool multiple echiniods display piece with the echinoids sticking out of the matrix. You decide how much to expose. Flatten the bottom with a belt sander and you have a hundred dollar display piece. See you next year.

Is that the Suwannee river?

Seeing a double rainbow and all round rainbow from an airplane 🌈

Was that the Suwanee River?

Hey

I drove threw one

🐢🐢🐢

This thing is very much in Indonesia

Kyle, I love the echinoids you and Cris found! They are one of my favorite fossils! Don't think I want to brave lightening strikes to get some, though, lol! You in the rainbow was soooooo awesome! I love it!

I know this is an old video but I was diving the other day and found one like the mystery Echinoid and came here to try to find what it was and how old it may be, did you find out yet?

Is the big ine a sea bisquit

how much do the fossil hunting tours cost? thanks nice vid

what river are yall at if you dont mind sharing

6:38 I guess the whole gold pot at the end of the rainbow thing really is true, if ya know what I mean.

Why did you not dig up that pot of gold?

I have one that is bigger and thicker then that one

What is it??is it a shell ???? I don't get it guys you guys ought to have a tent with ya!!!whats inside that. I my Tod that's terrible watch out fer lightening you have to take that rock home!! End of rainbow"!!
