 Hello and welcome once again to the rugged rockhound today. I'm actually back in Utah. Here's a face You probably haven't seen for a while. Hi everybody. Welcome back Tim So yeah, I managed to get back out to Utah. I didn't think I was gonna get back out here For a while, but just circumstances came up. I had a couple of days I could just come in Utah my wife wanted to go to Visit a really good friend of hers who is getting married So she wanted to get back to be able to visit her So I was like well Opportunity for me to go rockhounding. So here we are Rockhounding again, and I'm back out at the agate south of Eureka So some of you may remember this from last year. I came out here several times with family Tim and I were some of the first ones out here when I found that place further south getting closer to Jericho, but this is a well-known area up here This was the last place I've come to since I've been out here, and I never managed to go further up I've been really wanting to go up and I wanted to go south over the hill because I've never been up over there So today, we're gonna see what kind of agates we can find now I keep thinking that there's probably some agates out here that are just waiting to be found that might blow our minds because we've been finding some good quality stuff here Oh, yeah, pretty much every time we've come out and of course look you can already see stuff There's an agate. It's glowing in the Sun right there. There's one right there. It's glowing in the Sun And for everyone that doesn't know this is a bullet shell Thanks, Tim. Oh, and of course in case you need them. Here's the GPS coordinates. I've shared them in my other videos There we are. That's where we parked. So let's head on up there. See what we can find today Here we are down in the wash now It's early in the morning. That makes it hard to see stuff There's a tiny one right there That's not what we're going for We want the nice big ones that either are banded or have really good color to them Just found this one on the side It's got a tiny bit of banding in it. So it's our first one that has a little bit of banding in it Okay, Tim just found this It's kind of a Jasper kind of a tan brown Jasper and then you can see little bits of the agate going through it So that looks like something we should cut open Just found one down here Pretty good size Let's pull it out Take a closer look at it Yeah, I guess it's white Yeah, pretty much There it is. Spray it off a bit Not too bad. There's a little bit of banding you can see in there Well, looky there. I was just gonna put the one away and I see a broken one here That has some banding in it. Oh Did Tim find something over there? I'm just from this side of my bag. I found these two pieces just sitting there Any good? Okay, looks like mostly just clear ones Didn't seem to really be anything special with them But it is That clear agate. Well, Cal Sydney, I guess you could call in this case All right guys, so this is my point of view of this journey There's that guy right there. I think I found something Did Tim find something over there? Tim seems to have found something. Let's take a look. Ah, nice piece right here. Good size Any good banding going through it? Let's see Little bit on the top Well, you can see that but there there's a little bit of banding on the top that is kind of nice Hi, everybody. It's me again. There she be Little one, but hey Gee will occur guys. I got another one Tim has found the biggest one we've seen so far today Nice I can't tell if there's any banding in there. I'll clean it more when I actually get home But it is the biggest one so far Just found this nice clear one that has a really cool botched riddle surface to the top of it Feels really smooth. It's cool Something going on in this one What's this? Oh, yeah It's the agate. It's just it had this surface here making it kind of hard to see That's it I think I found another one Oh nice. Oh, this one's probably better. This will probably be nice when I cut it Here's this one cut open this side broke So I'll just kind of take a look at that side Nice At first I thought there's just calcite, but then there we go a little bit of agate going through it Looks like we might have some banding. Oh, I see something blowing under this rock Yeah, it's a little piece See some light coming through it a little bit. It's really clear I think I see something right here. Oh, yeah, it's got a crystal pocket in the middle. There you go some quartz Well Tim's finding a few all close to each other over there nice All right, let's come see what Tim's been finding Apparently he's got a few all really close to each other. You got this one. Don't be judging guys. It's a little ones Yes, I said don't be judging Hey, Tim, what do you think of that one? What do I think of that one? Walk away walk away walk away And this little one has a little bit of banding in it. It's pretty small though And what's this here? It's like another one. It's really white. I'm not very clear Fractures in it found something hiding under the rock here We got here Looks like we got a bunch of calcite, but I think there's some agate in inside there Yeah, I think there's some agate in the middle. All right, that's worth cutting into at least and seeing what's in it Hopefully there's a bunch more agate inside Here's this one cut open. It's a mystery from the outside except teeny bit. You can see there and oh Yeah Look at that thing. Oh That is nice Now that is a good-looking agate Hi again, so I found something cool So I'm gonna show you Right there doesn't look like anything right now But once Trent gets over here with his water gun where I can spray it for you guys Yeah, that's a big That that's your big intent of bringing your water spraying device over here Tim thinks he's got something he's spraying it off. Oh That's definitely an agate. Oh So crystal for crystals formed into this or rock layers. No, it's probably crystals probably calcite crystals so you're seeing The edge of them as they went into the agate there So here's this big chunker. I walked past it because I let him find it Let me find it, huh? Let me feel special. Oh That's a big chunk. Yeah Can't tell very well if there's Can't tell if there's a very good banding inside of it Here's this big one washed off and cut open. Oh Few interesting things going on in there cool Just found this one up here on the hillside Once again, it's got those cool little Indents in it from the calcite blades that used to be there It's a fun little calcite. I mean a agate. Look what the cat decided to drop in Oh, yeah Cat now, let me move that real quick. Oh, I can see it from here And that's got a really nice banding on it. Oh That's some beautiful. Oh Tim found a good piece. Oh, I need to get it. I need to get it wet Before I show you the best part. I need to get a good part. Okay. Let me get the water bottle Okay, Tim's feeling pretty proud. He sprayed it off and definitely made sounds of this might be something good Oh snap Yep, look at the banding in that one. Yep. Oh Oh That one's so good. I had to spray that off We have to cut that one Absolutely, I'm gonna cut that one and and obviously I'm gonna have to cut it like this. Yeah, that's the way the banding is going But that's beautiful Here's this one cut open. I've been waiting to cut this one It looks really nice from there. It broke a little bit. Let's take a closer look. Oh That's nice look at that in there That is very nice Hi guys So I have another one and it's right there Look at this little guy. This is a little guy, but it's pretty Tim seems to have found another decent one Oh, yeah, that looks like it'll be decent. Oh, it has the banding He's got another piece what has that banding in it. Oh, let me spray it down Spray it off. Oh man. Look at that More awesome banding I found one right here. It's got some banding in it Who that's a it's pretty stuck in there. I'm gonna have to get my hand pick out That'd be really big. Actually, that would be awesome. Oh, yeah That's a decent size Can't tell if I was banding off to spread off. Oh Another one in the wall right here. That doesn't have banding, but it's still a decent piece But yeah, let me get that sprayed off. See if there's any cool banding in it. Yeah, look at that design Huh So any band it might be some banding going on there. Don't have any right there But maybe maybe further in Here's this one cut open It's got calcite in there very interesting All right, guys. All right, guys. Here's another one Right there Tim just found this It's that Jasper with the agate laced through it. It makes it kind of like a mossy agate. It's really nice Just found that one It's got a nice shape to it. Probably will look really nice washed off I'll save my water though for the bigger and better ones So yeah, you got a little bit of kind of it looks like it's some fractures in there that have some iron Getting in there giving it some color. Yeah, it'll probably look better once we wash it off fully But I'll save the water we have for yeah There's a big one right here, but it's very plain Yep, no banding in that one Here's this one Tim just found Looks like there might be a little bit of banding on that side Can't quite tell though. I'll have to get it wet you want to quickly spray it just a little bit Okay, no, it's just illusion It's not really any banding in it. Oh nice. This is more of an atypical agate nodule Yeah, it's hard to see anything without it being open. So We'll probably have to cut into that one Just found that one. That's nice. It's got a little bit of banding right through there That's some cute banding up on the side of the hill. I just found this really nice Jasper It's got a teeny bit of agate in it. It's got some good color to it even a red That's pretty nice Tim just found this big piece of Jasper. So there's definitely big pieces out here. That's exciting Hopefully we can get some good colors and some agate in some bigger pieces So I've been walking up a ways been trying to get up to a place. I've been to in the past Kim seems to have found a decent one hiding right there. So we're gonna uncover that And see how it looks see if it's got any good banding in it. I'm gonna have to use your spring device It's got banding right there and then a different color right there a little bit Yeah, the colors from the volcanic rockets. So this has a little bit of banding now Let's check that bigger one Okay, we got some banding in there. You got some quartz crystal growing in the middle of that one It's got fractures in it. Yeah, it's a decent piece though. Just found that one. That one looks nice It's got some good banding on it Even a hint of bluish on the side Because it's still on the rock and they got some quartz crystals going in the middle of it This one's got a fun little black inclusion in it That'll be cool That's nice That'll probably look pretty cool when I cut it open Here's this one cut open Nice Okay, just picked up that one. It's not too bad decent got a little crystal pocket right in the middle of it You got something good All right guys, so I found two of them. There's one right there And there's one right there. I'll pull this one out first It's a little dirty right now, but we'll clean it off later for you. All right guys, and then there she be Right there now. I'm definitely gonna have to have Trent wash this one off and look at it in the micro or the Microscope that he has Microscope or the micro lens. Okay, Tim was down closer to the stream and found Geez Tim, how do you keep finding the good banded ones? Dang, that's a nice look at that No, this is the second best banded one today Here's this one all washed off Definitely the best right there Just up from Tim. I found a piece of the banded. Yes It's small. See if I can get in the sun for you It's small, but it's got that beautiful banding in it might have even come from the piece. He had Very possible. Here's this one washed off Another piece of the banded stuff Let's find the sun. There you go. Nice Tim just found this one. It's got the good banding in it. Hopefully you can see that and this one. It's really nice There it is the banding Here's this one washed off. Here's this one cut open Okay Not a whole lot going on there, but on this side. It's pretty cool Found a nice big piece. I can't tell if it's got the banding in it So we'll have to take that one back and cut it open That looks like a good one right here. Let's pull that out Okay, it's got a little bit of the banding in it. Oh wait That's really good on that side. Oh snap, that's good Here's this one washed off and cut open. There it is Very nice Just found this one. It's got a bunch of green Like and growing on it's hard to tell but I think we got some banding in the center of that one So I'll take that home and scrub that off and see if we've got some And just above we're finding all the really good Banded stuff. Well some anyway higher concentration than anywhere else is just below this little road So this is actually the road we've parked on way back where it's split off from the main one So if you just come up here further It's just here off to the side That's really cool All right guys I found something really weird Look at this I'm going to have Trent put the micro lines on to see it so So Tim is telling me he's found something really amazing. I Don't know because he hasn't shown it to me yet. It's on the other side. Okay. We've got the agate here and Oh Look at that structure What is it? So So It's like a little sphere in it. I think I might have an idea This is volcanic. This is filling up gaps in the volcanic. What if that's an air bubble? It could be it's filling a nice spherical air bubble in it. I don't know Other than that Might be some calcite actually yeah, that might be calcite in there I'm not actually sure but my guess is it's an air bubble. See that's where I'm not sure either Okay We'll do further research and maybe one of you has a better idea of what this might be We're in volcanic rock. We got this going on Just found this nice little one really cool Another pretty decent looking one a little pocket there just found this cool one It's really nice. This might be nice to cut open. Hopefully it has some good banding in it So here's a little one that has the good banding in it Nice Just right there pulled this one out. This one looks really good. I'm gonna take and spray this one off. Oh Yeah, look at that. It's got the good banding right in there. So this and I could probably cut This way a couple you know just threw it a couple times and get a few slabs out of that Here's this one cut open Oh That one's interesting There's a lot going on in that one Very cool All right Tim found another one you can see just some of the banding picking out, but it's definitely going through So when we cut into it, that's gonna be stunning lots of good banding. They found that off toward the right here Yeah, they seem to be kind of following a vein just kind of going left and right here. So we'll just kind of walk it Here's this one washed off and cut open. Okay That's still pretty nice. Yeah There's some interesting things going on in there Just found that one That one looks nice Looks like it might have a little bit of that white banding further in there Cool Here's this one cut open Okay Not a lot going on that one. It's still pretty I see a good size one there. Let's see if this has any of the banding in it Maybe further in but not from the outside. I first picked that up just think it was gonna be a rock or calcite But no, it's definitely the agate Don't see banding in it But maybe maybe there is still further in So we were over on that side finding all those really good and it agates Soon as we came over here, we started finding the jaspers So we've seen quite a few kind of reddish brownish jaspers and this one's pretty nice and you just found a white one Yeah, put it out of an agate piece. Oh, that's good. That's not bad at all Here's the white Okay, so we could get some really cool combinations over here. Look at that. Just pulled out a big one Probably doesn't have the banding in it like over there, but it's a nice big piece. We'll clean it off better when I get home It's really dirty. This is gonna take some scrubbing That's a decent one Too bad Some of it the botched riddle stuff That's cool That's more of the jasper a lot of these pieces look worked. So there's probably Native Americans Chippin out this jasper here making arrowheads So here's this one kind of has a hint of blue in it I just found one with the good banding on this side. Look at that beautiful That's a good piece. So the banding continues over here Here's this one washed off That one looks pretty good I'm not seeing the banding, but it's still a pretty nice piece So we're that Jasper we are finding quite a bit of Jasper with some interesting color colors in it Tim just found that one. That's nice. It's got some color in there and some banding And I found a little one that has the banding in it again. So yeah, let's keep our eyes open for the banding Just found this one's got some quartz crystals going through it nice Tim got another one with a nice banding inside of it really nice Okay, this isn't really a banding but it has the white on that one side which is interesting Gotta come in close. Okay. There's a big one right there. Put that up Tim We've gotten there So fractured. It is really fractured. I Can't see any bandings in it. There might be enough that there might be some there might be something deeper in it Tempt to cut it. Yeah, it might shatter though. I'm trying to cut that one This one had a nice shape to it on the outside All right guys I found one right here Find something nice over there Sure, it's a big one Tim's found a couple over here. Let's see what we're gonna have to wash them off. Oh, yeah Oh, yeah, that looks like it's got banding in it. Oh, yes. Oh, that's clear too on the outside That is nice. Look at that thing Beautiful, it's very clear too The banding is just really nice and it's a beautiful piece Oh, he's got a banding one and it's big is it? All right, Tim. I need to see it What have you gotten there look at that color oh oh So you've got some Looks like some iron oxides in there in a banding layer. Oh and look at the crystals for me in the middle Those are actually calcite. Yeah, that could be a neat piece that they're red in there And it goes through it goes way into there Here's this interesting one cut open side broke But it's it is kind of cool inside. Yeah, it's got a lot of dirt in it and a little bit of iron going on All right guys Trends over there. I got this piece right there This one I want to take a candy rat. Oh, yeah That's gonna be beautiful All right, Tim found something to spray off should be pretty nice. Oh Gosh more of the awesome banded stuff. There we go. That's a beautiful piece. I Wish it didn't have that fracture right there. Definitely will not cut this, but it could Down the road grind it down. Maybe polish it up Just found that one. Oh, it's got good banding in that one Yeah, that's a good one Nice nice nice Here's this one washed off Okay, I spotted it from way up here. Nice piece that looks like it's got banding down here. Oh, yes Look at that. That's got banding in it That is gonna be beautiful when I cut into it. Oh Yeah, looking forward to cutting that one Here's this one washed off Very nice Tim just found the largest piece of Jasper today That's pretty cool some darker colors weaving thread Unfortunately, you don't see the agate in it. That would be really cool. No, but we'll take it open. Yeah cut into that Just found that one looks like it's got some banding in it Can't tell the rest the rest is gonna need some scrubbing though So I'll take that home wash it off if there's some better Banding feet further in I will show you Here's this one cut open Nice like the little white splotches in there Very cool Just found this one. It's small, but it's pretty look at that banding Just found that one looks kind of cool with the cow set right in the middle of it It's kind of fun And over here I saw this one Banding in it. Oh Yeah, a little bit Right there not a lot Here's this one washed off Just found that one with a nice banding Cool Here's this one washed off So I found just a few right here that have the banding You see the banding going through that one You can see it in that and they were all just kind of piled here So I'm gonna search through this area and find as much banded stuff as I can Here's this one washed off Here's this one washed off Just picked up that one It's thin, but it's got nice banding in it. That's a good one Here's this one washed off and not far from it. Look at that one That's neat with the orange the resting parts of it Got another one That looks nice Here's this one washed off That one looks nice too Doing good Here's this one washed off All right, Tim just picked this one up. Look at that Let me change the angle That is beautiful Now that's a good piece. We need more of those please Here's this one cut open I'm looking forward to this one. Oh very nice. Look at that It's beautiful Just found that one Some nice banding in that Here's this one washed off Just found this one. No banding, but it looks really nice and I think when I cut into it. It should look really good Here's this one cut open Nice from that side Okay It's got some nice stuff going on deep in there on that side. I'll have to try and Grind it down to expose that Looks cool Just found this look at the boteroidal on that and look at the banding That's a beautiful piece Yeah, I really like that piece Here's this one all nice and washed off Yeah, they're cool Just found this one. Look how shiny that is. Got some nice crystal faces all over that Here's this one washed off and cut open and the outside it looks like it might be calcite. I Know it's just like well, it's quartz, but it's large crystals of it grown together Here's another piece of banded Nice Here's this one washed off Here's this one washed off. This side was kind of cool Here's this one washed off center is really interesting Here's this one washed off. Here's this one washed off. Here's this one washed off Here's this one washed off Here's this one cut open. Oh Looks like it might have a little calcite there Cool Here's this one cut open It's got some lines in it nice And we're back at the vehicle. It's getting pretty warm. It's about a little after one still summer so Time to head out. We did really good. I Basically accomplished my mission. I was trying to find where the nice banded aggots were coming out found it followed the layer for quite a Ways found some awesome stuff Great location. I hope you guys enjoyed that was a fantastic hike Don't know. I'll get back out in Utah next. We'll see until next time. You remember You want to know how hot it is out here? Thanks, Tim Until next time remember there is treasure everywhere
