 Hello and welcome to the rugged rock hand today. I'm here with a bunch of friends Everybody remembers Doug right from the blue opal. Here's Tim. Yeah, so we are looking in an area We're not gonna reveal it just yet just in case, but we'll see but we're looking here for what's called flowering two bonnets So let's see what we can find it sounds like it's few and far between So we're gonna start here in the wash, and then we're gonna work our way up and see if we can find where it's coming from Wish us luck Here we are down in the wash looking for stuff. It looks like the stuff usually occurs on this kind of Sandstone conglomerate Metrics, so we're kind of focusing on those rocks But there's a lot of interesting things in here a lot of volcanic rocks like these ones So definitely something interesting stuff. There's some of that conglomerate There's a nice piece of calcite. That's some good calcite crystals in it. There are a little bit of Kind of metallic formations in it Might be getting related So this is just to give you a feel for what the rocks look like So I've got a lot of these pinkish white volcanic rocks You've got some nice conglomerates You got some sandstone It is quite a mix Making it difficult to spot this stuff And this is the first time here, and I've never found this stuff before so I think it's Brand new to all this Taking a look at any suspect rock It's right here in the side I found some nice Levan black agate We're actually not far from Levan locations so Yep, keep eyes open for some Levan black agate. So right right down here. I just found this This is some of it see the botched riddle habit on it and then look at the side of it Hopefully that shows up. Well the lighting is really bad right now, but You should be able to see Some of the structure. I'll definitely clean it up better when I get home But I this is the first piece my first piece of the flowering two bonnets down here in the Stream bed. Oh, that's probably the best side to see it right there Nice so here's this one cut open Interesting not too bad. It's got some lines in it Okay, Tim just found that one. So Tim found this just up from where I found mine actually So nice nice banding here. It's like a travertine so if this has any of the tube structure in it when we cut into it, but Definitely promising Fun piece tiny bit And he just found this one rinded so That looks like I would say yes those that little bit right there just a tiny bit of black right through there It's very small, but I'd say it is it just enough. It looks like it Tim found his first piece of black agate. Look at that It's got some nice botched riddle right there in that little pocket Yeah, it's just a small piece, but it's definitely a van black agate found this piece that I thought maybe and I broke it open and yeah, it's a low grade but something Just found this piece. It's really hard to tell from the outside, but I can see the banding there Yeah, this is something we're gonna have to cut into to get better But you can see it you can kind of see on the surface. So that makes them harder to spot So you want more of this reddish color that's probably gonna get to your higher grades Here's this one cut open Yeah Yeah, see these lighter ones are harder to see the patterns in it They're still pretty It's a wind blown right now Just found this piece very dark on the outside, but you got the layers in it. Yeah That one's not as good as the one that not as good as the previous one, but it's something I'll hold on to it So Tim just found this look at that Levan banded black and white agate on the surface that rock. That is beautiful. That is a nice piece Good fine Tim So we've come up quite a ways There's an old road right here that runs up to the old mine up here we're trying to decide whether or not that's like a black agate or the banded tubonics and The banded tubonics seems to have disappeared I think that's come out of one of the hills below us and that indicator that Tim just found Supports the idea that maybe this mine up here this old mine is black agate So we made it to the old mine where we we're thinking. Oh, it might be the black agate or The onyx and what do we find? gypsum Satin spar gypsum all over the place. I'm thinking this might have been a gypsum mine Now we're up in the mine And look at those blades of gypsum books of gypsum pieces crystals solanite all of that Old gypsum mine No black agate or two bonnix here here at the top of the mine. We got nice vantage point. We can just look out over the valley beautiful layers of Rocks So we just met up with the gang and Ryan found Several pieces right here in the road that may have come out of this little zone here the mines back that way Around the next two hills So maybe it's coming out right here, but look you just found that one Look at that. We should probably spray it. Look at that piece. He found just right here in the road So I think it's coming out of here somewhere They definitely need to search here There's this one cut open. Yep looks about like what we thought We're in the zone now Ryan found another piece and I just found one right here. You can see the bubbles on the top That's definitely a piece of it Now oh, I see another one right there nice Yeah, we are close to the source Very good. I'm glad you saw the ones right here Look at that. We're definitely close to the source. Yeah, I think it's coming out of right here Oh, yeah, a little bit of agate Yeah, I'm seeing tons of little pieces too now here's this one cut open This side fractured look at that Really pretty stuff Here's this one cut open the other side broke because it was just a thin slice, but there you go Pretty stuff Just found another little piece Just found a big one and right next to it another one spray that thing off Isn't that beautiful? Look at that. Although. I don't mind if you grabbed it. That's fine. Just I want to hold the camera out to see it Looking good and then this look at this. Oh This one's massive I need a hand pick to get this one. Oh, I got it up. Oh my gosh Thank you, Ryan Ryan just found that look at this though Giant Huge piece Beautiful this one and this one. This is the only big one. I've managed to cut For this video, so I'll have to cut the other big ones later. This is that big one I found and Look at that Look at that So much going on all across that. Yeah, let's take a look at the other side Very nice Really cool stuff Found another one right there. I'll have to cut into that and see how much there is nice There's this one cut open Cool. I like the pattern. I do wish there was more contrast though It's still very nice Ryan said he found some pieces down here. Let's take a look It's got a little bit going through it. Oh, that one looks like it'll be good Yeah, that's a good one. Look at that one. That's a good point. Yeah very nice. Oh Oh my gosh, oh Look at that Couldn't miss that. How did they miss that? Didn't they just walk up here? How did they miss that? That is Beautiful It looks like you didn't miss anything It looks like a flower. Oh beautiful Just found this one And look it's right up against the calcite. Yeah But that's the pretty side right there use this beautiful looking one cut open Yeah, it's great on the outside It looks great on the inside So you can see these little flowering Effects down at the bottom. I think I just found a big piece. Oh my gosh Spray that off No, it's all the way I think that's a whole piece. Jeez That's gonna be amazing Hey Doug, you want to cut this one for me? If you carry it down and I get one fourth of it All right, okay, this could not have moved very far Something that's big So we broke into it and we found some good stuff We weren't sure because a lot of it isn't but some of it is So we got some and going through there. Look at that. Oh look at that right there And there's all crumbly. Yeah Yeah, the stuff that's crumbly You're not gonna salvage but this this looks fairly solid. So maybe take this piece back And I'll take this piece and I'll take this piece back This one looked good from the outside cut it one half of it shattered. So here's the other half The good half Nice, huh Really pretty stuff Just found this piece That looks pretty nice Just found a giant slab of it Look at all the bubbles on this side Look at the pocket marks on this side And you got a little bit of I sprayed it off over here Oh, let's pull it up then so you can see it and you can see some of the layers in it That's a chunk It didn't move far It's a thin little piece Right next to it was a thin little piece Another thin little piece There's this larger one Looks really nice from that side Oh nice that sorry about the wind Because it's a windy october day Very nice So right where Tim's foot is you hold this thing out look at that chunk Nice, it's got the flowering on the bottom part of it. I'll probably take that one back And look at this just a big boulder of it And then little pieces here and there probably came off of that right there. Oh, that's nice. Look at that. That's a good one Yeah, that's a good little piece So here's this one cut open Very nice That looks nice The colors in there here's this chunk cut open Interesting Interesting It's got a bunch of like britcheted stuff in the middle of it So Ryan's got a nice boulder here. He's working on Trying to get some of the nicer pieces off of it So there you can kind of see it This whole boulder is all yeah It's all all of it Okay, there's apparently a really nice one down here Ryan's going to get it Yeah, it's big. Oh my gosh Now that is a stunning looking piece Put that on up here. Let's spray that thing off. I hope oh boy Tim out of the shadow. Oh, sorry Look at that. It's pretty. Now that is a keeper The whole thing. Yeah, absolutely Here's this one cut open It's very nice from the outside Oh, and it looks very nice inside. Look at that Very nice. Yeah, this stuff has really nice patterns to it Here's this one cut open. This looked good from the outside. So Oh, yes That's a good one The inside of that one Very nice the other side Sweet Here's this one cut open the other side fractured and fell apart But that looks very nice Very nice Oh, Tim, what did you find? Tim apparently found something stunning. Oh, gosh And it's already slab worthy too. So yeah, that's exactly how you would slab that thing Ah, that's a nice find And there's a boulder right there boulders everywhere Hard thing though is finding the really nice ones like that Here's this one cut open Very nice You can see where it forms those little tubes They're technically stalactites that got completely covered in stuff Okay, here is this one cut open Very nice. Look at the contrast. The colors are great on that. It's a beautiful flower That's a really good piece And we made it back to the vehicle. So neat place I'm really glad Ryan found this spot and due to his wishes, we're not gonna, you know, share the gps here And the layer we found, you know, we worked our way up the hill finding little pieces It was a layer that was I don't know about a foot or two thick that had that nice Tubular onyx going through it pretty cool spot Um, actually found quite a few things I didn't actually film because after a while you start finding a lot when you've got a layer there That just kind of runs all across that that one hill there It was pretty steep though, you know all that loose tailing But pretty cool So you guys have probably seen everything cut open and you'll see the ones that I probably didn't quite film Because I kept switching between getting better and better ones But hopefully you saw most of the good ones and now you've seen it all cut So it should be amazing. That stuff is beautiful. I can only imagine how good it is when it's cut I know Yeah Tim's excited Until next time remember there's treasure everywhere
