 Hello and welcome to the rugged rockhound today. I am back with my good rockhounding buddy Tim There he is And we are gonna hit The petrified wood again So last week's one that use video that you saw was about the petrified palm wood near Nephi, Utah And sure enough we are head back up But we stopped a hill before where we were last time because I wanted to go check out that spot over there I want to go see what it's like over there. We're gonna head over there But later we're gonna get back over there where we found that it was colored pieces of wood last week Those really nice ones. We'll hit that again And another cool thing because of my birthday last week well a little over a week ago I Got a whole bunch of new accessories for this GoPro, so I'm holding a selfie stick right now and I've also got a Whole bunch of cool attachments. I've even got a macro lens for the camera So when we find some stuff, I'm gonna switch that lens out and see how it does with close-ups So I'm excited for that because I've been wanting some good close-up shots while we're out in the field. All right Well, let's get at it Tim Just walking along Hmm people have been here before metal cans Fortunately there is a lot of trash out here people have left a lot of trash. It's very very disheartening We're headed that way though I'm gonna head and look at all the white layer because that's what we're looking for We're looking for the white layers because that's what has the wood in it So when you come out here Look for the white layers Just walking along. I was just Up on that hill where the first little white spot was over there. I didn't see much over there Tim's still over there looking around But as I came down in the wash I Think I see a little one here that's been oxidizing for a while. Yeah, that's a piece of wood Now I gotta get Tim over here. He actually has the macro lens with him I probably should have kept it not let him take it All right, I'm gonna wait for me to get over the macro lens and I'll Show you a close-up of it got back to Tim and got the macro lens So it should look a little different. It's out of focus far away, but it should be in focus close-up So I found this little piece of a wood in the wash Nothing This macro lens looks pretty cool well We were away over there I went up over the hill and looked a lot and the agate I realized the agate disappeared And if you don't have the agate to replace the wood you're probably not gonna find any agatized wood and As it turned out I didn't so I was over there quite a ways Tim looked a bit too So we came back to this area. So the road is right there the vehicles parked over there. We're on the second hill We're just looking through the surface and I found a little chip Just a little chip Still pretty We need something a little bigger than that. Oh Macro lens All right got the macro lens on Hopefully you can see that I'm not sure if it's better In the sunlight and shade No, it looks like it might be better to show in the shade, but yeah, you can see the System in the plant road through the water so I just Was about almost to the road and Then the little washed out area right here found this teeny little piece first I thought it was just a piece of agate, but then I saw the little pores going through it It's a piece of the wood. I'll put the macro lens on Okay Here's what the macro lens Too much in the shade. All right Tim found his first piece There it is. You can see a little bit of wood texture going through it Decided to put the macro lens on for a little while and try it out So everything looks fuzzy until you get close because I believe I found a piece of wood right there Yeah, right there Yeah, it's definitely a piece of the wood Clean it off to get a better look at it Yeah Just looking right there Had a little shard of wood. Just a little piece. It's pretty You know, it's very small Look another shard of wood black one Some white I've been digging in the pit so back in the pits where we found those nice pieces the other day We're parked over in that direction Oh, I've still got the macro lens on so everything's probably blurry But I was digging digging it for a while. I dug quite a bit of this out and I hit this First piece of wood that I didn't realize was a wood Until I saw this little piece missing right there and you can see the wood texture I'm gonna spray it off really quick Spray it off a bit and there you go Petrified wood there it is in the sunlight Nice. Oh, yeah roots We both felt like we were maybe a little too high so it came down to this area It started clearing the surface off and as I cleared I hit right there and it got a nice little piece right here Let's clean that thing off. Yeah, that's a nice looking piece very nice Well, I was coming back over to this side taking a break from the digging over there This is where I was Saturday to where I found all those little pieces with the white and the black And then you can see where people have dug and I was just walking down here. I just saw that That just looks different It's a different looking agate and texture dug it out. I can't tell I'm not sure it might just be volcanic There's some agate going through it. I'm gonna take it back and wash it off and see if maybe it's something Just in the wash here from over there On this it looks like a little piece of wood. Yeah, it's got the wood texture. Not a very pretty one Oh well, it's something All right, I was just over there That's as far as I'd gone Saturday and thought I'd come over this way and this as I came up This was just all the red and the not the right layer type stuff and then when I came over this I was like, okay, it looks a little bit like it. I saw this And it looks kind of agatized Agate I Might just be agate, but I'm gonna wash that one off and see but as I came over this way Look at that. That's wood. It's got the right textures to it But the color is so different Weird I'm gonna have to dig that out Huh, okay, just popped it out. Is it wood? Has the wavy texture like wood color's all wrong What the weird? I don't know One of those are flow bands All right, I Might be joking me out. I don't know All right upon closer inspection of this rock I have determined that those wavy features are actually flow bands in the rhyolite So it looks very much like wood from the top, but the texture was just wrong Because you can see the little Shining crystals in there. Those are actually glass crystals of quartz and felt spars That's part of the rhyolite. So that is rhyolite Well, I'm back now Cleaned both of them off and they're just regular agates. So my friend was digging here and he's like, oh, there's a hole here, huh? He left came back and there was a snake in it. It's a snake den snake Is where's he at? There he is climbing the tree there he is Climbing the tree right now trying to get away. It looks like nice. I think he's trying to get away from us Yep, so that's Interesting but a good thing to watch out for maybe one of these is a rattlesnake I was over here in the trees just looking around and look at that That is definitely some wood Definitely some wood and put the macro lens on you got the macro lens on Let's take a look. Yeah, look at that thing. It's in the sunlight. Let's try shade. Nice good piece Oh That wood or agate. Oh, I think that's another little piece It's just sitting next to it that I didn't see Maybe that's definitely more All right, well, it's getting pretty warm out here. I Mean, it's not yet noon, but boy. It's it's still summer Well, we're both pretty Ready to go. It's just getting so warm So we're gonna go ahead and head back with what we found still pretty good day. Not quite like Saturday, but still a very good day and We'll go ahead and head back clean all that stuff off See what we got after we've cleaned it off. All right, we made it back from the trip yesterday Today is actually the day after and I am going to go ahead and get all these specimens cleaned off Unfortunately, the smoke is pretty bad today from the California fires. Take a look You can see just a haze covering everything Normally you can see the mountains really well, but there's a haze kind of everywhere We have had worse smoke during the year, but Right now it's the worst it's been in about two weeks and I feel for the people out on the coast I hope they get those fires under control soon. Hopefully Anyway, so I got all the specimens here. We didn't get a whole lot on this trip As you can see in there, that is what I came back with there are some nice ones and that big one right there I Am excited for that because that one you can see the nice big tubes the xylem going up through it So I'm excited about getting that one cleaned off showing you a nice close-up So I'm gonna go ahead and get all these washed off and I'll go ahead and roll the montage There you have it. Those are the specimens Not as good as last week, but still pretty nice some of them look quite nice And overall it was a great day had a great time It's always fun to go out and look for stuff And those are some nice pieces of wood. I'll be able to do stuff with so Stay tuned till the next video next week. I plan on going somewhere different So you'll just have to wait and see where that is Until then remember there's treasure everywhere. Have a good one
