 Hello and welcome to the Rugged Rockhound today. I'm once again joined with Eric. Say hi to everybody He's got a special spot out here Around the area of Cisco and Yellowcat where he's got some cool pieces of wood that he finds and he was gonna share that with me He's asked me to keep it quiet. So no GPS coordinates to here, but we'll go ahead and see what we find today. So he's got lots of pieces I've got a few down here. I've already grabbed But if you look down You'll see shards of it all over the place there there Just these shards of the wood and sometimes a few bigger pieces It's not particularly the colorful wood But it does have nice texture So these shard pieces not as good The darker ones tend to be a little better. So there's a piece But yeah, we're gonna explore around so he says there's some big ones. He's found though some nice logs that we're gonna try and find and I'm gonna explore around and See what else I can find. So we're digging in there. He's already pulling out some of the bigger pieces Can't really see them very well yet But he says he's got a nice big one in there But he's going for Well, Eric's gonna be digging for a little bit So I'm gonna go ahead and search around a little bit see if I can find my own spot with some good bigger size pieces and We'll come back and check out his work Just found this little nodule It's got a nodule of Jasper agate Problem is the middle is probably just white But I think it's worth at least cutting so I'm gonna take it open cover it open if it's just white in the middle I'll throw it away, but maybe We'll try and here we're finding some of those traditional repair replaced bear right nodules that have the red Jasper agate in them. This one looks like it might be a good one to cut open. I'm seeing maybe a little crystal there, so Probably take that one and I'm starting to see a bunch of shards of wood again So we'll look closely and see if we got any bigger pieces. Here's some more of that red Jasper Pretty stuff. Don't think I'll keep that one the month though. There are better ones out here As I come up the hill I'm finding some bigger pieces Nice, we should be able to get some bigger stuff further up Getting these interesting pieces of dark Jasper. They're dark, but they've got interesting colors in them Might take that home and cut it Yeah, it's like a purple Hmm Here's this one cut open. Oh That looks very nice actually. I like that That's a good one Yeah, I like that. Let me try and get my finger out of the way so there's no shadow That is really nice actually. Yeah, there's some really good colors and patterns Now it's just going yellow cat and you just you never know I'm starting to see more of these purple ones kind of littering here, but Some of them might be really nice Look at that Those layers of purple and then that There might be some good looking ones like this up here So I found this cool looking stream pebble from the conglomerate unit above us so I think I'll take that home and cut it just to see if it's cool inside Here's this River Rock I found cut open About what I thought I didn't think there would really be much in there. Well, that is kind of cool right there We've got some kind of webbing going on in there Well Here's a cool piece of white wood in the rock. So it's a it's a sandstone. So it is a stream deposit here Yeah, it's really cool to look at though and that couldn't eat Here's some more wood in the rock Once again, it's white really cool Well, there's a decent looking piece of wood there little pieces of it coming off So this is really hard rock. This is that conglomerate sandstone So even if you were to break this out, this would just shatter. You can see how fractured it is So I'm not worth your time trying to get out of this but Maybe if we get lucky, there's some pieces of wood in the lower stuff where it's not as bad Here's a piece of wood in it hasn't agatized as well as some of the others so you can see how brittle that is But it's cool that you can see the wood Some of it still may be even carbon Cool here, we've got a few cool pieces of wood in the rock. I'll take that funky one Very white and very fractured cool, and then there's another one down here right there Another piece of white wood cool So I've been finding a few pieces of this It's kind of hard to tell I'm gonna wash that off, but it looks like it might be some kind of a sea maggot It's definitely in the conglomerate where you're finding the wood But I'm not seeing the wood texture on it Doesn't mean it isn't wood it could be Could be like smashed wood Let me wash them off get a better look. Yeah, I washed them off So looking at them closely. I don't see any wood texture in it Let's take a look at the next one That's got some nice layering in it So again, I can't tell if it's any wood texture and that one that one really looks like a sea maggot to me Unfortunately the agates aren't terribly pretty But hmm, I don't know Here's this one cut open. Oh Hey, it's got a little bit agate right in the middle so I was banded It's fairly clear and colorless with white, but That's still cool to have that in there So I saw this piece tried spraying it off. I was like, oh Hmm, maybe there's some wood. I can't tell but then Looked over here What do we see here? Yeah There's a nice chunk Now that's a nice chunk of wood. Look at that. Ah, so the yellowish is the core of them Okay, that's cool Well That is a nice piece. Look at that. What a find beautiful Beautiful Nice And there's some more pieces of it here. We'll take a closer look at some of those This looks like the biggest one, but We'll see there might even be more if it came out right here And maybe we'll have to dig a little bit All right, so we got this smaller piece. That's kind of cool We'll keep that We're gonna start making a pile up here And this looks like maybe a section of the edge of it Sure See this looks like some of that stuff I sent there was saying maybe vein agate or something Maybe it's just the edge of the wood we're seeing That could very well be it just the edge of it Maybe it fell out of these boulders that fell down from up high Or the layer is Down here as well. I mean most places where there's wood you'll find a couple layers of it And so we saw the white wood up there down here. Maybe we're getting the better color stuff Because yeah, that is so much better And down the hill always another piece of it nice. Oh, that's a pretty good size of it, too Nice Piece too. Um, can't tell Maybe Hmm. Yeah, I get here looks this piece looks a little different. Yeah, we'll take that home and cut it open There's this one cut open Yeah, not much there Pretty dark Whole lot going on. Oh well Just found this shard of wood that has some of the most clarity I've seen in me the wood up here a Little bit of light gets through it. I would hold it to the Sun, but there's no Sun today It's all cloudy. Oh That's interesting. Oh Huh Can't tell if that's wood But it looks really nice. It might be I should keep that one Look at that Where the heck did that come from I haven't seen anything that looks like that That's really cool Just saw this nice piece sticking out look at that as a perfect limb Fractured, but Not too bad. I mean, that's actually pretty solid Really nice. That's a good find right there And here it is all sprayed off. Look at that Almost looks like the blue forest stuff a little bit From Wyoming Cool and didn't pay attention to what was sitting right next to it and something that fell below it There's another piece of it And this might be the biggest piece of it And it is. Oh gosh, look at that limb Oh Let's see if we can't find the rest of the limb It definitely has Fallen out it came out of one of these boulders as it fell So we'll search for all the limb pieces we can find Found another piece of it. It's the fourth piece I found I wonder if I can find enough of it to piece some of it back together Need a better place to put them Yeah, I'm so excited. This is so cool There's another one of those pieces that's that purple Looks like it might be kind of interesting Again, I think I'll take that home and cut it to see if it looks good inside Here's this one cut open. Oh, that was interesting. Look at that Some splotches in there of different colors That is very interesting Cool, I like it On the way down I found this decent looking shard of wood Yeah, we'll keep that. It looks really nice So now I'm almost to the bottom. We're back down in the area where you find the nice agatized barites So you want to try to find whole ones of this that aren't all broken up You cut them open. They're beautiful. See that So yeah It's in this stuff Best way to spot it, of course, is to see the red But it's nice if you can spot it from the outside and find one that's mostly complete Caught back up with Eric. He was checking out this area over here. He found this really nice piece of red agate. Look at that It's got some really nice lines in it with quartz in the middle And then you get the fun little, you know, barite replaced with agate Pseudomorphs they look like these little grapes So you get those down here too Fun we got to go see what he found in his place. Yeah, I'll have to show him what I found Okay, we're back at the vehicle Eric's showing me his treasures Ah, look at that big chunk That's beautiful It's got more pattern in it than the ones I found This is really nice Look at that big thing That is beautiful It'll look probably even better once it's all washed off Got some more pieces here Yeah, good pieces So this one, that looks pretty good This one's more of that purple under there I like the towel but I guess that But they can imagine how How nice that'll be once it's all washed off. This is the purple it becomes. That's really pretty. Yeah, that's what it looks like When it's cleaned off, so Well, I don't think I found any of that, but yeah, that's still really cool Well, that's it for this video. I hope you really enjoyed that You'll have seen everything cut open and cleaned off whatever I do cut Most of it will try to probably just be washed off, but some really good stuff Thank you so much Eric for Showing me this cool spot And I hope you guys enjoyed the cool stuff we found and remember there's treasure everywhere
