 Hello and welcome once again to the rugged rockhound today. I'm back out where I was Not long ago. I parked on that hill remember and I just walked up that and then I got out of here before a big rainstorm came and Hit so yeah, I'm glad to be back out here, and I'm here with Eric So he's gonna show me exactly where he was finding back lights further up So I hadn't gotten up that far yet to where the back lights occur So that explains why I hadn't seen any yet But Eric's a pro here, so he knows where to go and it looks like we have a wildfire out there Probably started up today That's too bad. Oh Well, so we're gonna go look for some back lights up there, and hopefully we'll find some really cool specimens Let's get up there. Oh just in case you need it. Here's the GPS coordinates to this location Which I gave on the last time I was out here. I didn't film anything when I was down there is mostly stuff We'd already seen before you can see where we parked out there so you walk up the ravine you can see how far you kind of have to come up the hill and Looking for I'm thinking this stuff. So Eric went around the other side He kind of gave me a rough idea of where we're at, but you're getting the right stuff when you start seeing these shells you can see the impressions of shell fossils here for the back of lights I think That looks like the right shape for a back light Yep That's a big section of a back light So remember I told you there are these long cones. That's just a segment of it and let me put the Other lens on all right got the other lens on let's see if we can see some of the structure in this that you typically get with back lights I Not seeing it so much in that one. Ah, I think I see another segment up here Looks right Yes Their segment right there What's this? Another segment What's nice is if you can find right where it's coming out Dig in a little bit and then you can hopefully get multiple segments That you can fit back together and maybe produce a nice long one of these so Yeah, this looks like the layer we want All right, let's get into it a bit. So there we go I moved some of the dirt and there you can see another segment of it There's more of the back light continuing down in there. So we'll just start pulling it out And I want to check and see if there's any segments maybe down here. I got buried Just in case Okay All right, so I'll dig into here and start pulling it out. Oh It's a tiny segment of it All right Here's the next segment. Oh, there you go So you see that structure right there? It's kind of got this wavy up and down that's indicative of one of these Okay, we're gonna get in towards the end of the cone here and the end of the cone usually is just shattered to pieces Hey, there's the impression of where it used to be Yeah, I see Now you're not really seeing anything So these are all pieces of the same one. I don't know if that is because that was found further down That could be from some melds Still really cool and there's where it came out of Here's this bell night that I was able to piece together at least that much backlight So I was down below that hill. I've come up Fair fair bit further because Eric said to come up and over around the side. So I'm up here and Hello There are little pieces of backlight everywhere You should be able to see someone Segment there segment segment Segment all through this lots of little ones cool There's this one you can still see most of the pieces kind of hugging each other Really cool. What do we have here? So that structure looks like it the end segment of one That one almost looks coiled Like an ammonite. So they usually were they originally were nice and straight and then over over time Through through history. They started to coil their shells until they became ammonites So maybe that's a little bit of a coil going there. Oh back to this one to extract it Nice looks like we're gonna get a pretty long one here. Oh, look at that I'm not sure if this is all part of the one continuous piece or if it's a couple different ones Look at that. I'm gonna have to use a handbag. Just dig it out by hand All this clay. Look at all those pieces Yeah, I think we got a couple different ones here But it'll be fun to try and piece them Some of them back together It's just curved Almost like a burrow So when I'm digging up a burrow That would be very sad. There we got the end of that one Huh Okay, well We may have something there We'll take it back and see what we can piece back together and see If it's something So here is the large coral pieced together as much as I could Just kind of show the whole thing put all together and they're playing some music over there There you go. Here's one of the oyster shells. It's pretty big Pretty cool That is definitely not a bell knight that looks like some branching coral It could also be a burrow track, but it looks more like a coral to me So yeah, we're getting some interference in here with some of these being corals Make kind of hard to spot the bell knights or back lights Look at that some really nice little spherical balls. These might be like You know like a little bit of something that got rolled by the waves into this shape They're cool So this was a neat little area There's a lot of interference here with with the corals and shells and whatever else is going on here And it seems like the the back lights tend to be kind of small here that bigger one I found was further down that way and I believe Eric's on the other side of that hill So I think I'm gonna head down and kind of go around that hill So I can meet up with him. Maybe he's in a spot where we can get some bigger ones And I wonder, you know, the layers can be very different Maybe there's a certain layer where you get the bigger ones. I don't know Well as it turns out Eric had been going around that side of the hill Why come they coming around this side and we just missed each other. He was just over there So that's where I was just up there decided to come further down because when I was coming up That's where I found the bigger one and up the here is mostly smaller ones Anyways, I was coming down. I found this kind of nice little example of here's the bell knight right here You can see a little bit of the ridges along the side and here's the rocket stuck in So that was nice just kind of an this upper section right here and there's the rest of the rock Looks like it kind of got fused together Here's a nice little piece of the coral So yeah, there is a lot of coral in here It's very hard to see the Back of lights because of so much coral We've found several with shapes like this that we're gonna probably try and cut and see if there's anything in them He found a tip. That's really cool. It might be the tip of the coral Really cool though Eric just found this cool piece of coral It's nice And a cool little piece. It looks like it's probably just shells at an angle, but it looks really cool After getting a bunch of little stuff We decided to come back down where I found the big one and he just pulled that nice piece out right there That's a really good one. Maybe there's more in there Hopefully it's not just a single loose piece Well, there you go, that's a nice piece though Eric found that up there and look what I just found on here. It's a piece of enamel. Oh, I'm slipping Very slick here. All right, let me get some better footing Okay, found this part of an ammonite You can see the structure right there. Definitely an ammonite and I just pulled out here. Let's see if there's more in here Or does it fall from up here? All right, I don't see any more so it it came out from somewhere Cool. Well, that's already some really good stuff. Let's just dig into it Here's that half an ammonite all pieced together. It's pretty cool So right where Eric had been digging and then he walked away He had pulled that out and missed it That's all right. It happens you can miss him another small one and then he's got a nice big piece here Let me grab that It's got a nice little one going through it right there And on the backside you got one poking out right there Cool. There could be several inside of this stuff here So I've been digging for a bit Pulled out this piece You can see the piece of it Coming out right there, and then that's just the Sorry, let me get a closer You can see it coming out of there And here's another segment of it Cool. Well, I was just digging into the dirt and I exposed that one. Oh Piece of it broke off It's a segment Aha just found one sticking out of the wall right there and see it right there Let's pull this thing out Unfortunately, that's about all that came out of it. There was another smaller piece. That was it. Oh And another one in the wall So I got this segment out and There continues right there. Hopefully you can see that There you can see it in segments going back into the rock like that You know the sun is setting It's time to get going So I got what I could out of that one So you can see where we're parked down there So we just kind of came up this wash right here and then came up this bigger hill to that outcropping right there Yeah Let's head back So I decided to just show everything I managed to piece together So here's that large coral. This is as much of it as I was able to get together Or a few pieces I couldn't figure out. This was a smaller coral that was coming out And then we just a teeny teeny piece that probably came off as something somewhere The Ammonite Partial and then these Bellam nights. That's how much I was able to piece back together Not too bad And we're back at the vehicle. This was a good spot some nice stuff Obviously the back of lights are what you come out here for and we got a good spot where they're quite a few and that was cool To find that one half of an amite So you can find those they're probably pretty few and far between Anyway, now, you know where it is. So I hope you enjoyed until next time. Remember There is treasure everywhere
