 Hello and welcome once again to the rugged rockhound today is actually the same day I was out at Topaz Which was the previous video and today? We are also visiting the drum mountain agate area now normally people park up there Well, we were finding better stuff over here, so we're gonna go for this spot over here So we decided to go ahead and park down here You're welcome Trevor So, yeah, we're gonna go see what we can find today Up here looking for some agates and jaspers Whatever, whatever we feel like keeping Tim's just showing you a nice little piece here that he found He's got a little bit of variation in it some nice stuff and Let's get at it. All right now. We're up on the hill. This is the first one. I've found that's decent It's got some nice bending right there So you got the Jasper a little bit agate and then the quartz in the middle Nice I'll keep that one We're almost to the zone where we were finding the better stuff last time, so we'll see what we see Up on this piece. It has a little bit of orange agate to it. That's nice Wish it was bigger though How are you guys doing? Oh, it's got some crystal pockets through that one There's a lot of Jasper here though a lot of Jasper Tim's got a nice little area of Chloration on through that one This one had a little bit right on the edge. I don't know. Should I keep it? That's up to you. I probably wouldn't do Shiny right there Might have to dig that one out. Oh this one looks good. Oh, yeah, that looks really good. Look at that one Look right in front of you. Oh, there's that see now is getting much better. Oh, I like this one We need to spray that one off. All right, spray some things off I Think I see one hiding under the bush right here. Oh and right next. Oh Look at that. It's got black webbing in it Yeah, look at that. It's got some red webbing too Yeah, that's a nice piece that's a keeper Thanks to them This is nice too, but I think I've got to be very careful about what No, Tim, why did I have to see that and that? Oh See the quality it's just look at that Fantastic So the last time my dad and I were here, this is the stuff we had found Picked through what we thought was the best. You can still see pieces all through here. There's just so much here Little bits everywhere Well little bits and big boulders See beautiful, it's just everywhere Everyone feast your eyes I got this stuff in here. What do you think of this stuff? It's better bro. This one's a lot better. All ready But yeah, right there and there and then over here. It's just so nice Such a nice Beautiful to get it out And we're back from the drum mountains and topaz mountain Because that was two locations in the same day We spent most of our time at topaz and just in like an hour hour and a half at the drum mountains So that's why this video is gonna be a bit shorter But we still got some great stuff So I went ahead and washed off everything that I got and I went through it There's some really nice agates and jaspers. I need to show you So let's take a look at them Here's the first piece So we've got it kind of this nice jasper down here a little bit of black some black dots going through it almost They probably small dendrites And you've got this nice quartz druzy on the top So nice quartz crystals. So yeah, you can find a lot of the quartz crystals out there and kind of a druzy These small crystals all over These are rather large most of the time they're quite a bit smaller Lot of the pieces I kept are like this where you've got this nice jasper running into the agate So the agate is mostly colorless, but you do get some banding and They're quite translucent so they let a lot of light through So that's one thing I really like about them So one of the better things to find out there if you can get it is you can get these little bands of red That will sometimes occur in the agate and those are really nice if you can get those Yeah, look at that side some nice red there This was a neat little piece. So you got that little bit of agate there and you got some really nice patterns all through it beautiful stuff We got a little bit of quartz right there This one was a really neat piece You had this these nice colors down here kind of a pink Orange and then the agate here and on this side was really neat too That's a little splotch right in the middle surrounded by the agate This is some more of that nice agate. This was a thicker agate on top of the jasper At least on that side. I wonder if you could cut these just like that So where there's just a thin layer of this on top of the jasper. I wonder how that would look I'd be I need to get a bunch of pieces and Try it This one was really neat. I had some nice agate going all through the rock You can see it looks like it kind of a brecciated jasper filled in with agate And he got some nice black dendrites going through it And this side was really nice Look at that. It's beautiful This is a larger piece not the best colors, but the patterns were really nice So I like the patterns nice Another one with really nice patterns And this one the colors are a little better Best part of it though is right here So I've got this nice agatized area in the jasper Very nice stuff This one had some nice color and quite a few different patterns going throughout it So you got this which is kind of like some of the other stuff, but then down here You got other things going on all together Yeah, it looks like this side is kind of nice, but this is the best side here. I like this one a lot Some nice patterns and colors all through there. You got the dendrites going on Got grass all over my fingers. Oh Yeah, look at some nice agate Right there Yeah, this is a nice piece Here's the final piece It had a beautiful zone of agate right up at the top. Look at all those bins Look at all those layers in there That is nice and they got this cool jasper down here and I'm gonna need to Put this in some acid look at that That's all calcite so that should all come off with the acid So I'm gonna have to give this one an acid bath so we can see what it looks like on this side Although I'm pretty sure it's gonna look very similar to this side Very nice So there you have the things that we found on that trip or at least the ones I kept and Those were pretty nice, weren't they after just being there like an hour maybe an hour and a half and just walking around That's what picked up in this beautiful stuff. That stuff is all over that hill. It's a wonderful location I highly recommend you go out there because There's plenty of material for everyone and it doesn't disappoint. So it's a wonderful location I hope you get out there and remember there is treasure everywhere
