 Oh, my dad just found this and he it might be more than just a thin layer. We're gonna spray that off. Oh Look at that. All right, let me clean these off really good Hello and welcome once again to the rugged rockhound today. I'm back at the Levan black agate So normally we park over there But we decided to come a little further down because I want to check out the wash going up We've had some good rains, so there might be some good stuff that's washed down So we'll check them up on the way up and I want to explore more around where the main dig was that the guy that owned the claim out here years and years ago and See if we can find some more around there because I haven't explored that as well as I've explored these hills over here Which you can't see but Yeah, let's see what we can find as always GPS coordinates All right, let's go so let's go find some black agate and maybe some red agate So we come up the washaways. We weren't really finding anything in the wash And I think it's cuz you got to get close to the hills There's so little of it the chance of finding the wash is small, but I just came across this Look at that It's agate, but it's not black There it is sprayed off. Look at that That's not black though. It's colorless with a hint of like red orange in it and then white I see another piece Looks like it might have more orange in it or red Spray that off. Yeah, look at that. It's more of an orange kind of along the edge That's really neat It's not black. We're in a different spot here. My dad just found this one. It's got some more orange in it Look at that. That's cool Another piece right here looks mostly colorless though. It's still nice. I want more of that orange though There's a little piece that looks pretty nice Grab that little thing Yeah, look at that red band right there That's cool Little piece right next to it right there little ones Come on bigger ones Just found this. I think it's mostly calcite. It might be some broken agate I'll cut it open, but it'll probably fall apart, but give it a shot. Yeah, I'll take it home and cut it Might have something nice in here Yeah, look it's multiple layers of the the red orange. I See another piece right here. Well, that looks nice And then Another small piece here and there Okay We're gonna have some nice little pieces in there basically a carnailion That's really nice. Oh I just stepped on that one. I didn't see it That see the light coming through that Probably should wash some of these off. Yeah, I washed a few of these off to get a better look at them Okay, that's a mixture of kind of the red agates orange agate slash carnailion whatever and Had a lot of calcite in it too Another little piece and then this one Interesting see another one down here Yeah Spray that Yeah, look at that This one might be the best to let the light through with Maybe a good one Bigger than I think He's just a thin layer on top of calcite Spray it up. Yep. That's mostly what it is. Just a thin layer on top of the calcite Oh Good one right there It's like yeah, we got a good vein of it going through there Wash that off So my dad over there was like here he threw me a rock and I spread it off and look at that Look at that. You got a little bit of darker on the edge Look at those circles and then it goes red and then white in the middle. Oh That's beautiful. I Can only imagine how how much good this is gonna look when we cut it. Wow. Look at that thing. Oh He's got another one here, too, he's right off a little more How this one was amazing look at this one? All cleaned off by far this side. Just look Wow Look at that stuff Look at the red in that Wow, this is neat. Let's get some more of these Just looking up for more my dad did and I see this right here, but look at that piece. Oh, can you come to pay this? Look at that another one We're gonna have to get these home and cleaned up and cut Wow, this is some of the beauty. This is some of the prettiest stuff. I've seen out here It's not as big as some of the black, but it's so much better because it has red So we found the larger pieces, but we are seeing little pieces all over so I Don't know. We might want to try and dig. I don't know how deep we'd have to dig though before we'd get down to it But oh, it's looking good Okay, just down from where we're finding the other ones. Looks like I found another good-sized one Or at least really pretty one Let's spray it off Look at that Hold up to the light That Neat There's this little one all cleaned off Just looked really nice and you can see the light coming through right there. It's so cool that red So we've continued finding lots of little pieces kind of like these We'll get them all cleaned off And I saw this one which I think It's pretty nice too But yeah, there's just so many little ones Just found that that one's more colorless now And how do you read in it? My dad just found this one So it's a little layer of it on top of the calcite that's forming right up against the calcite Looks nice Take that and I think I see one right here So yeah, mostly it's little layers going through the calcite Found that we're on this side. It's like oh, there's not much and then flip it around and look at that. It's going through it Crazy So right there just picked up this chunk That has some right on the end How I couldn't bend the whole thing Seal very nice Just found that piece Red in this is amazing Came to join my dad and once again look what he found Look at that And then there's one over there Let's hold that up Look to the Sun Wow not a lot coming through because it's so thick and Then that piece And then these ones Oh, this one though. This one It's amazing Okay Little ones That one's got a nice color to it Good color That though, what a find Whatever works. Oh, I think I see one up here Yep, there's a piece right there another one I was big as those but Still another piece. Yeah That was so worth it. Oh, there's another piece. You have to wash that one off Here it is sprayed off Nice So the orange is mostly over there And that area and here we are we're getting back to the black again Very thin veins of it, but it's starting to turn black again The suspect one right here That might be good. Let's spray that off I don't know if it's gonna be very thick But it looks pretty How about from that side? Trying to see how thick it is Not much. Just a little bit right there Still cool. And as we come back down the hill, we are finding better ones again Nice Yeah, we just came around the hill a little bit and we're starting to find them again So my dad just found this one It's a nice little pocket of Agate and some crystals of calcite and then the outsides calcite That's kind of cool. My dad just found this. We're back to the black agate Looks like a pretty nice piece too Here's this one cut open Very nice Good old classic Levan black agate That piece of colors got some green volcanic rock in it My dad just found this and he it might be more than just a thin layer. We're gonna spray that off. Oh Look at that. All right, let me clean these off really good So this one does look like it's a layer that disappears into the rock So it starts thick and then goes thin, but there definitely seems to be enough there to work with Look at that one Isn't that beautiful? That's a pocket and you've got some nice botched riddle red agate exposed on the surface And then under it's the black That is quite a piece. See that? That's a nice displaced specimen Here's this one all nicely cleaned off That's again that neat red And they got the black underneath Look what I just found So I just grabbed what looks like just calcite on the outside and I pulled it up and there's agate in it Can't see much right now. We'll have to clean and probably cut into that one, but it's getting exciting Just found that one I think I just found something. Let's get that out and spray it off Yep, I think I found the other half of yours Looks like I found the other half of my dad's Look at that Not as good as he has but still really nice Here's this one all washed off. Look at that Put that thin layer of red with the black under it and then calcite crystals inside of it So cool That might be something Let's spray that off. This one's covered in dirt, but as you can see it's definitely got some good stuff in it Look at that Here's this one cut open It fractured right there Pretty typical of the area I think it's fracturing And there's actually quite a bit in this one Very nice, but you can see how fractured this stuff is Cracks going all through it. That's why it broke Very interesting stuff Looks like I might have some more black agate. Let's spray that off. I do indeed and it looks nice Here's this one cut open. Once again, it looks like a lot of calcite with just a little bit of agate Got a nice little bit right in there Like that spot cool That's where I've been finding all the good ones came a little further and look at that Can't see it very well, but it's another good one. It's got the red in it It does unfortunately have a crack going through it, but we'll see. We'll cut it Decided to try cutting this one Figured it would break and sure enough a little piece broke off right there Look how much of that's calcite. It's got some black and red agate in it Very interesting stuff So I found a little piece and I saw that And then I saw that And I saw that and I looked up here and went oh boy. Oh Boy Let me clean that off Look at that It's only half the piece. That's all calcite on this side But that side is beautiful It's so fractured. I don't know if I'll be able to cut it very well, but We'll see Here's this piece cut open I was really looking forward to this one and it fractured just like a lot of stuff does Look at that It's beautiful You got some nice orange and red in there Such a nice agate. I just wish it wasn't so fractured Just maybe need to dig deep Get past everything that's been exposed for so long That one's pretty nice too And what did my dad come back with? Not much. Oh, it's got a little pocket right there. Just a little It might have more in it I have to take that home and bust it open Here's this massive thing cleaned off. Look at that pocket. Look at that calcite in the back So cool That's calcite crystals and this was interesting instead of the red being on the surface It was more of a gray probably another thin layer of the black right on the surface and then the red under it Very interesting Just found that one my dad's got that he's gonna check that out So she's got that there. I think I see a piece right here. Yep And maybe right here Possibly Yeah, it forms in with the calcite So when you look for the calcite you might find the red agate as well So my dad found that one and then this one was like this little on the outside Let me break it open see if there's any oh my goodness look at the inside of that We're gonna take that home wish I would have cut it, but I didn't know you're learning but the rest of it we can cut So with all the calcite around it's not unusual to find some dog tooth calcites I know I've got the macro lawns on But this is where I the the the older video I did the last video I did I had actually come down there and it was right down there that I had seen that really nice black agate With some light and then right up over there is where the dig is where the old mine is you'll That place and look at Oh boy I'm gonna have to Spray this off for you guys And I'll spray it off look at that Beautiful botched riddle have it all over the top nice black agate That's a nice specimen nice display piece Here's this one all cleaned up Look at all that botched riddle formation all over it Really cool Just right there I found another nice little botched riddle piece So cool last time I was here so The pits there I had gone that way Not realizing that the layers go this way and I should have gone this direction And look what I just found And on top of that I looked up this one. I think I saw something else right hiding in the weeds right there Yes more of it Okay, we need to follow a line that way Have I got this one right here? That looks nice. Let's spray it off Not too bad Had better but not bad Okay, we just came up and we searched straight across and didn't find anything I came back up further Found a piece My dad's got some pieces over there and look at that one. Oh That looks nice and that one right there So and this one right here. Oh They're gonna be everywhere. It looks like now Use this one cut open nice. We could make some nice pieces out of this. Oh That looks nice What looks to be hiding in the bush right here? Oh, look at that one. Oh That's a good one Spray that off Here's this piece of black agate that I've been looking for to with that white band right in the middle And it continues Yeah, look at that Very nice stuff good old black agate Look at that Very nice One right there Then one Another one right there Not too shabby That one looks pretty cool Nice So my dad came over this way a little bit look at that when he found Just so cool Beautiful, I'd like big ones like that. I Really liked this one. Look at it cleaned off The butt riddle formation is cool Look at it underneath. It's so cool. I came up and over the hill and look at that piece Spray that off Definitely thinner veins, but some nice botched riddle right there And we made it back to the vehicle. It's getting pretty hot out here Boy, that was some amazing stuff that red agate Wow, I was I would not have believed that we would find something like that out here Amazing we're gonna have to come back out and maybe do some digging on the way back. I fell and scraped my hand One of the hazards of rock outing. So yeah neat stuff Anyway, you guys have seen it all cut up. I haven't yet and boy, I'm looking forward to it until next time There's treasure everywhere
