Rockhounding Downstream: Canoes Full of Agates 

I'm a 43 year old empty nester in NM and I'm trying to figure out how to fund my rock hounding in other countries.

Aw! Thanks mate!

LIZZY! yes! You still call me Maverick! I honestly can’t say thank you enough for your constant support and I can’t tell you how much, when I see your comment, I feel like it’s a family member saying hi 🙏😊 thank you Lizzy 😊

Heyyyyya brother! Haha! Yeah so sick 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

No no you absolutely will find awesome ones! Thanks for the rad message mate!!!!!! I’m hoping to be more regular with vids in the next few months 🤘

@@Rookie_Rockounding I will be keeping my eye out funny videos I'm extremely excited your content is genuinely so entertaining and educational it feels so good to watch

Hahaha! Yes yes, the “stick and nodules” haha!

Haha! Dude I said it wayyyyyy too many times. What can I say, I was excited 😬

Oh I know right! He’s just been busy and he’s into his other hobby and being a grandad the last couple years. He’s one of my favourite people on the planet and he’ll be back out one day. It’s just an eb and flow of things but I’ll let him know someones asked about him 😁

Sorry I’m trying to remember that while filming but I get over excited 😬🤦‍♂️

Dude! I can’t laugh at that! Don’t get me cancelled 😂😂😂😂 No no! I absolutely haven’t Symon. Tbh your rhyolite has sat on my kitchen bench for almost a year now and I see it daily hoping you know I’m not a bad person 🤦‍♂️ especially recently I’ve been in hermit inside my shell mode because of not having my Ritalin for over a month and also just being overwhelmed with work/life and I tend to hide when I get like that. But man I promise that admiration and love is always gonna be there Symon! The longer I take to respond to someone the worse I feel and then the harder it is to reply because in my head they think I’m crap. I’m moving in with my girlfriend this month (was meant to about 3 months ago) and I’m looking forward to being on a better routine and returning to rookie more properly and being more present with everyone here. I promise my brother, I’m looking forward to returning to how I used to be and can’t wait to prove I’m so attached especially to you guys who keep showing up

Jesse, my friend, please don't put yourself down like that, I know you, I know who you are and your character is certainly of good standing with a caring nature, I've seen it and from our lengthy conversations over the years I understood the kind of person you are, if anything I am the strange one, I think everyone who has read my comments in the past went one of two ways , they either laughed at my stupid and sarcastic observations or thought I was not a full pizza, but I can only eat 8 slices that's why I ask them not to cut it into 12 slices! No, the reason for my asking was you seemed taken by Green jasper so I thought I would send you a slice along with some other cabbing slabs. I am reducing my collection and stock and will be going more into faceting pieces for mostly give aways, but as I have so much stock and recently acquired some blue slag glass, I won't say how much it cost but a six pack should cover it, bargain eh. Plus with faceting the items are small and postage will be nominal. Chin up, and the other one, lol. Everything will turn out right, you are a likable fellow with a face fit for radio not movies, just messing. We are all glad you bounced back and found your feet again, that period of adjustment can make or break someone and you have had your fair share of grief, so put on your six shooters, gather up the gang and head for the creek but watch out for those shooting dung, I still say you should put a blanket or similar I a secluded part of a creek , it will trap flour gold etc. For those who don't get the six gun thing, Jesse is originally from America along with his brother Frank, but they didn't really Rob trains, no they chose gas stations. Much respect brother.

Bahahahaha! Tina I freakin love it! 😆😆😆

Haha aw! I’m not sure but I’m posting almost every month. But by in the next few months I’ll be back to a regular schedule and able to do more
