 Hello, and welcome back to the rugged rockhound once again, and if you're new welcome, and I hope you subscribe So today I'm back at the black agate if you remember over there is where the old pit is Right over here is where we found the new stuff just over in the back of that hill And I'm here with some new friends. We've got Quinton and Trey So they're gonna join us here on this expedition We're heading back up to the black agate because we want to try and dig into it a little bit See if we can find the vein where it's coming out If you remember on the last video We found the better stuff a little further down the hill, and there's a good chance There's a vein in there somewhere, and we're gonna try and see if we can find that today Or maybe we'll do some more exploration around and see if there's any more Outcrops of it which there probably are we just have to find them. So let's get at it Let's get up there and start digging. Okay, we made it back to the zone This is where we were finding all that stuff at the last time Remember I had put my buckets right down there, and we were just searching all through this stuff, and it's pretty much everywhere You get little bits of it here and there. The hard thing is finding really good quality stuff But you can see Black agate is all over See little veins of it in some of the rocks There's another one It's got a little bit on it So, yeah, we'll look around and see if we can find any really good ones Found this one this looks pretty nice I don't know how well you can see on there, but it's got nice banding in it, and there's red in it So that's a nice little piece right there Dead in the bucket Bunch of little things right here Any of these any good Little better So right here, I got two more nice pieces I found once again got some nice red in there Hopefully you can see that and then this one So it's pretty nice Nice agate there. It's got a pocket inside of it. Yeah looking good So these were coming out right through here So looking here a little bit more Found a nice little spill here Got some veins going through that one got some going through that on that side This one I really like It's got a lot going through it That could be really nice I'll keep that one What's around here? Little veins in that little piece there I'm not sure if that's any good Mm-hmm Pieces over here Hmm probably not that maybe that just trying to find the good quality Okay Some potentials here Maybe I'll keep looking around here. I'm bringing back in if I find anything really good Well, I think I might have found the real good piece. Oh And maybe there too. Okay, let's get these out Ooh, that's looking good That might be this one. Oh Okay, let me get the sprayed off. I just sprayed it off. Look at that. Oh, that's beautiful Beautiful botched road. I'll have it right in the middle there in this piece Also very nice Very nice. Oh, hello. Oh That looks pretty nice too And look at that thing. That looks good too. Right there. I just found this one. Look at that Nice botched road. I'll have it There's some more right here in the darkness. Oh, look at that one. Oh That looks good. Oh That's nice That'll look great. Another nice little vein. Looks like something right there. Oh That's a nice one too. It's a bunch of nice ones right here in the shade So I'm a fair bit down now from where I was not seeing as much, but I did find this piece It's not much on this side, but on this side looks really good. So I'm gonna get up there and wash it and see how it looks I didn't see if I can find anything on the way up Oh, that looks like something right there. Oh, yeah, that's nice and this hmm Maybe not as nice, but We'll wash it off to be sure. I think I see one over there Oh, yeah, it's pretty decent Once again, we'll get it up and wash it. What am I with? I saw that Look at that might be just the surface though and it is It's just the surface That's unfortunate. I'll have to spring them off. I still am turned out to be kind of dubs But there were a few that were nice This one's pretty nice So we kept a few of the small ones, but yeah, the bigger ones not so good I just started walking back over here to look and I think I might have just found a really good one I'm gonna go spray it off and find out I hope that's looking good. I can't really see it right now, but I think that's gonna look really good It's solid and it's got red in it. It looks like green too Okay, I grabbed my bucket started hiking up and then I saw this Oh, I'm excited Oh That's gonna be amazing Oh, look at that There's a little chip that came off of it right there Oh Let's spray that spray it off. Look at that Look at that. That's gonna be so nice Oh excited for that one. So we're heading north The other two guys are just on the other side here We found what we're doing is the main hill is is just too over from here We decided to head north and see if we could find anything So we found a little bit over there And I'll show you some of the stuff that came from it Kind of a fun little thin one and And that pretty nice one And this one was a really nice one that that came out of there so Very nice I decided to keep coming Because I figure if we just keep heading north It'll keep coming And little bits and waves I think I see something really nice right here Oh, yes Oh, look at that Oh, that's fantastic Where did that come from? We are going to find where that came from I think I found something This Looks like a depression A big one As in an old claim That we're digging out here for that agate So So the far hill you see here Just right here That is the one where we've been on just Finding the good stuff And then remember back down that way how I talked about that one little Pit that I found that I was like oh, this must have been the old pit But as I thought about it was like if he'd been digging it for years That's a tiny pit But this Is a much better size And apparently the quality here was such that he did not leave anything And why I think it is that thing is because Remember I was coming up here and I said That one piece where I was like whoa I'm gonna go get that piece again Where to go This piece And I was like whoa Look at that thing It's good That's some of the highest quality I've seen Well, guess where I found that Right over here Right there So That probably weathered out Before They started digging this because it's on the side of the hill that it wouldn't naturally flow down Except maybe back in the day when the hill was bigger So this is probably a piece of it that weathered out And I didn't find anything here, but I went up over there Just on top And look what else I found Look at that A big piece of the black agate and another really nice piece and these are definitely of a higher quality Thicker veins than what we find over there So I'm pretty sure Pretty sure this was his old pit. So when he told that other guy that oh he just goes south and there's That it's probably the little teeny prospect he found to mislead him away from the actual main pit I think this was the actual pit Where they dug for the black agate So right here is kind of in between that hill and where I showed you guys the pit over here And these these two guys have been finding some uh very yellow orange agate it's kind of like a fire agate or uh Like an orange, um Carnillion that's the word I'm trying to say it's kind of Maybe spray one of these off, but definitely But yeah, you can see oh there we go. Let's spray that one off This one too. I found this one right here too. Yes, here's some really good examples of What's coming out right here? Yeah, look at that Yeah, it's beautiful Really up to the sun even so yeah, you can see right through that sucker up at the sun Oh, yeah, look at that So this is a neat spot. They're small But the color is fantastic We're in this area where we're looking for the orange and right over there. Look what I found Look at that chunk. Look at the red in it That's beautiful What a nice find Okay, I just found this right there. This has got to be the best piece we've found today Oh, I don't know how well you can see that but it's amazing Definitely show you at home cleaned up Close up It's nice and I am back from the hunt. We found some good stuff. I just got everything cut. It's over here And you got to take a look some of this agate is beautiful Here is the first piece This is that one that was glowing up around here that you saw. I haven't cut it yet I'm trying to decide if I want to cut it In a series of cuts like this or one large cut across it like this Haven't decided yet It's pretty neat though. I mean that's a thick vein Not a lot of banding going on though So I don't know Still it looks quite nice This is that vein I found where I was like, oh, there's red on the edge of it So I just barely ground into it and the red started disappearing really quick Unfortunate but still It's very nice It's a very nice agate. You got black and white banding through it You see how the light comes through it? Show you the light through it here And then here's the other side of it. I haven't cut any more of it yet Because there's not a whole lot of it showing right now But still Very nice agate Is that smaller one I found like that? And look at that Isn't that beautiful? See some light coming through it See some that light coming through again Look at those lines in it It's beautiful stuff Now remember at the end of the video Where I said this might be the best one It's pretty good, but it's not the best one So here it is cut open Still very nice That is a beautiful agate And see we get some light coming through it. It's still kind of thick. I left it thick To maybe do stuff with So I don't know if you'll see much light coming through it Yeah It's still just Beautiful So this is that piece that I found On the hillside going up to where the uh apparently The main operation of digging for this stuff used to be And it's it's beautiful stuff We'll just go through these one at a time It's really nice Neat stuff And here's the final one This one was one that I saw And I didn't think much of it other than it looked good But when I cut it it ended up being the best one. So let's just go through the pieces So this one was fractured and fell off Look at this though Look at that white circle on the right Isn't that just cool? And that was the edge piece like it's not much there, but Wow And you got this piece Yeah, you can see that fracture going through it. That's how come that other piece broke off Just look at that stuff Just stunning pieces Whoop dropped it Had a beautiful red in it I'm the end of last end piece But yeah, just just look at that. It's so pretty So I showed you the best pieces I found I did find Half a bucket full right I've got quite a few other ones, but those were the best looking ones The rest are just going to be more stuff But of lesser quality so I didn't want to bother cutting through all those and just looking at all of them So maybe in a later video I'll do a cutting video of going through some more of those aggots to see what else we can find in them But these were the best and they were beautiful. They were spectacular So you guys know where it is now so go out there See what you can find and maybe you can find a deposit that I haven't found yet and next week I'm gonna take another trip to topaz mountain to kind of a secret location that I found About 15 years ago, maybe less not like 13 years ago But still and I'm gonna share that with you guys So look forward to that next week and remember there is treasure everywhere
