Im constantly looking down

Ha, are you kidding lol, I prefer there be less.... less competition 😅

Seems completely normal to me. 😁

I do it constantly.

For real!

This is a lapidary saw. It doesnt cut like a wood saw. It grinds. See below: ukposts.infoqf8abF5eVbU?si=WQtS1DLjjxpF92PS

I'm not a woodcutter and he scared me too!! Like shouldn't he have something to protect his hands? One sneeze and he is missing a hand!

​@@LydiaStarz if it have sensors it's most likely better not to wear gloves

Same!

@@LydiaStarzlapidary saws don’t really cut flesh, he’s not in any danger

Me too! Some are millions of years old and they should be appreciated!

your not the only one that is stealing others property? you proud of that?

Yep in San Francisco some people look for poo rocks. SF is the only city I know that has a poo rock map. You never know what you might step on

As someone who has a weird interest in rocks, I'm always looking at rocks (and plants) when I'm out and about. Never found anything that got my curiosity concerning rocks while out and about (people here tend to use wood mulch and not rocks) but I have found a lot of interesting plants.

​@@testjeaapiel9707 oh shut it. They see rocks as useless and only fit for trampling. If they know those are actually treasures they won't leave them exposed to the elements outside.

@brucewilson1958 thank you for sharing this. How wonderful. Sorry you are missing your friend. 🪨🐕s are as unique as the stones they find beauty in & share that beauty with others.

My Daddy worked at GE; Battery (General Electric). He had a friend at work that, as a Hobby, found and cut stones. He started with Mama, and had a stone cut to go into a Ring, the stone was a deep Blue that sparkled Red under light. My older sister was next, but, I don't remember what her's looked like. I didn't get mine until after I finished Basic Training. I joined through the Delayed Entry Program, so, I signed my contract on January 3rd, 1975, and, was, therefore, required to Report for Duty to begin Basic Training on June 3rd, 1975, 3 days after I Graduated HS. When I got my ring I was bummed out because the stone was Orange. Being a Floridian, the only Orange I liked was Citrus Fruit. I had 6 MOS's B4 it was all said and done, but, the one that sent me to Germany, was the Heavy Equipment Mechanic MOS; ALL of the call #'s & letter's have changed since I was in, but I picked that MOS on purpose, to learn how to work on stuff. Anyway, one day in the Motor Pool, it fell off of my finger. I discovered it was missing just B4 Formation in front of the Orderly Room, for our 5 mile "DisCom Run", and, I went and told Top that I had lost my ring and I was going to go find it. Top said, "You can do that AFTER the run," and, I said, "Top, my Daddy gave me that ring, and, he's Terminally I'll; I may never see him again B4 he dies; I'm going back to the Motor Pool to find my ring !!" So, I walked back to the Motor Pool, and, quickly found it... Or, more than half of it, anyway. I could no longer wear it, because, the back of the ring was gone. It was a Sterling Silver ring that only displayed the very top of the stone. Rather "Ho-Hum..." I hand-carried across the North Atlantic 12 times and never lost it. In 1994, I manipulated husband #1 into having the stone re-mounted into a Tiffany Setting. When I got it back, I couldn't get over what a BEAUTIFUL STONE it was, now that I could see a lot more of the stone. The Jeweler at Zales looked at it through his monocle, and, said, "Tell me the story about the Stone, again ?? " So, I did. I've used it, when it was in the old setting, to scratch glass a few times, when the top of the stone wasn't covered. It always cut the glass, but, never scratched the Stone. He said that it was beautifully cut, and, asked me if the man who cut it was looking for a job cutting stones. I said that, I was pretty sure that he was dead, because it was a friend of my Daddy's, and, Daddy had been dead for a long time.

Cool story!! Would love to see his work.

Thank you for sharing your story

Iowa gal here. 😎 No jewelry quality rocks in Iowa? Puh-leeze! Apart from our fame with geodes, we have all sorts of jasper here and there. It's why we have a county called Jasper. Red jasper is one of my favorites, and there's plenty of it where I live. 😁😁 I'd love to eventually get into cabochon making, with the water blades and everything! It's been a while since I have been able to do serious rockhounding, but I work with stones and crystals in my spiritual life and Iowa, my home state, has plenty to offer if you look past the obvious.

😂

Hahaha.

So glad I'm not alone either! Lol I usually get "is everything okay?"

I understand completely. Rocks are as important to me as my dog. ❤️❤️❤️

@@lford2337 yes! I forget that some people do not have the same fascination as me with loving rocks. To me that is not normal….at all….😂

Well said!

Could start a home for wayward rocks! 😁 🪨

Thinking of it like that, elaborate on him cutting them up. 😂

​@@IntoTheMystic11.. 🤣👍🏻

​@@RockhoundingLife.. Now I'm starting to think about curtain rod adornments and shower curtain adornments, different shapes! LOL! 😂

For sure!!

@@RockhoundingLife i wouldn't name the place if i were you. Nor show identifying features. ya just never know. They paid for that rock, it wasn't just free. that might pique some of them.

@@theCosmicQueen they aren’t going to care which rock is out there. They didn’t pay for that specific rock, they paid for “assorted rocks” to function as a ground cover or weed preventative etc. Besides he also replaced it with an equally as boring (to the majority of people) looking rock.

Im glad our video cqn do that for you! Thanks so much for watching!

❤

❤

❤️

Now that would be an exciting find

I had no clue there's a label for people like us. Yee Haw! I Love it! 🤩

Urban rock liberator. Legendary 🤘😎

Wow, how cool is that, it's my favorite rock.... I think mostly from out west somewhere?

Check.this video out to ease your mind. Saw cant hurt my fingers: ukposts.infoqf8abF5eVbU?si=WQtS1DLjjxpF92PS

Pure horror! Thanks for explaining (see here below under @gregorywildie37) it's not a saw but a grinder.

​​@@RockhoundingLife as internet is full of shocking crap, many people are "unconsciensly" waiting to see the shoking instant. As a glass cutter/polisher I really appreciate your video. Thank you for showing all the process.

Yes, you were.

It will happen, sooner or later 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

100%

Oh my excatly where I was looking yesterday , jinx ✨

LMAOOOO

Me too.

😁

Awe, I also collect all heart shaped rocks!! I have THOUSANDS, over my 50+ years of collecting! 😅🩶🪨✨

I saw that too!! 💟

I saw that too.❤

Me too!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing that!

I was on the Connecticut coast one Thanksgiving. When we went for a walk on the beach after dinner, I (a birder) was delighted by the variety of waterfowl in their little cove, but what knocked me out were the vivid red and deep slate-gray stripes in the sand. My hosts told me they actually did like the Marianne of the song -- they'd often be down by the seaside sifting sand. The larger red and gray granules would stay in their fine sieve. Then, they'd run a magnet over it to pull out the gray bits, and voila -- lovely red and black sand to sell to local sand artists. They were bits of garnet and iron ore pounded out of the granite face New England presents to the Atlantic. I thought that was pretty nifty, but maybe they should have been arrested.

OMG, I grew up in Lanesville. So very glad I read your comment. I'm still near by, I'll run over and put my face to the ground and hunt. Rock on, back to you !!!

I was the same growimg up. Always looking at rocks on the beach instead of swimming.

My wife does the same for me.

Me too! ❤

I think that was a movie, "The Long Trailer" with Lucy and Desi. So funny.

I've seen that one also! Yep my Hub used to say something whenever we stopped I would have to find a interesting stone.

I remember that movie ❤❤❤

Me too, I remember "I ❤ Lucy", my grandmother's name was Lucy. That has always been a great show to watch I spent my childhood watching it.

I've laughed for years over that movie. How did they even film it?

Where was this?

I grew up in the PNW and Idaho and a lot of my clearest quarts is from gravel road, driveway and parking lot finds - gotta love local quarries in gemstone states haha

@@gabrielecoddington9193 @MITCHGILLILAN It is illegal to take rocks from a parking lot. That is private property and you must ask permission to take from there. After all, they paid for those stones you did not. Read the rules of conduct for rockhounds please.

Yeah....if you psy attention, you can find tiger 🐅 eye 👁 in the most random places.

​@@terryrgee boo hoo.

😅👍

And the rock i put back was bigger!

I'm guilty! I'm going to get a bag of rocks from my yard and take them to the parking lot medians I took from. My best ones came from a Chuck-E-cheeze parking lot!

@@mness143 Shame on you! jk/lol 🤣

He took two rocks and replaced only one....

Its a great place to look when you are too busy to get out!!

I feel you 100%

Thats a great idea actually!

Thank you, that was very interesting what you said. 45 years ago when I lived in NYC I took a lapidary class from someone in Rockland County & loved Rockland County so much that I bought a home there.

@@MaryDougherty-ge3mh Rockland that sounds like a nice place to live….or a great board game….

Yeah you never know with quartz that's for sure!

Thank you! Cheers!

I don't know the names of rocks. I pick for colors and odd shapes.painted sponge Bob on a square rock

ill show you a long specimen

@@ghost.of.aleksz.salad. ha ha ha !

Thank you very much!

Welcome aboard! Glad you liked it!

I dont get too bent out of shape about it. Most of the time its just people who are misinformed.

Except that rock was paid for by Ikea as part of their Landscaping, it is still theft. If everyone took just one rock, there wouldn't be any left in a week.

If

You got that right!

AGREED

I bet Nevada has some really cool rocks in parking lots!

Welcome aboard!

The rockhounding hobby can take on many shapes and forms. Everyone has their own style as to what they like to do with the rocks they find

I always have a look as well. Especially when travelling.

Any full round pieces of pet wood? Interested in a trade?

@@RockhoundingLife they are fairly small pieces, but if you have an email I can send a picture of what I have!

By took you mean stole As in he stole those rocks.

You are kidding right? Get a life. Its one goddamm rock.

@@clamboat6075 - Why not go inside the store where they have an abundant supply of apples. So just steal one. Get a life. It's just one goddamn apple. Right? He's stealing, and by exchanging it with another rock doesn't change that fact. If he brought in a bad apple to replace it with would that make it ok to take a fresh one?

@@chrisfs150dude, get your priorities straight and get a grip. It’s a rock. People kick them around all the time and I think you’re just low key jealous. Twitter is full of your type. People with no hobbies, no interests, no talent and they resent people who do so they poss and moan about crap that doesn’t matter. Get a life.

Georgian Bay is loaded with amazing finds, as well as fossils in them

Interesting, i was born & raised in Michigan & our Dad had a cabin cruiser & he would take his kids (all 7 of us) on a cruise up Port Huron to the Canadian area of the Georgin Bay. Wonderful memories as my parents are both gone now.

Yep. People get bent out of shape about it. So i started replacing the rocks i take.

So people can show up to your yard and help themselves? How generous of you!

Because people love to complain. It doesn't matter why. So long as they feel good about themselves

@@thewidowwindwalkerpretty sure a personal garden isn’t the same as parking lot or even an mass production corporation 🤡🤡

@@RockhoundingLifeevery rock you take 🎶 they’ll be watching you…finds a great looking rock on the ground 🎶🎶oh can’t you see, this rock belongs to me🎵🎵

I love stacking rocks. It focuses me, and it's a beautiful, serene feeling when you stand back up and walk away from your "Sculpture".

Thanks! And i replaced the rock!

So true!

Our pleasure!

Thank you so much!

You can always send us a pic to our email address. Link in description.

I totally agree!

I love this idea!

That is awesome!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Thank you!

I bet you did! You would have had a lot to chose from. And stock that you cant get anymore!

That IKEA seems to be in NS too….

I use a lapidary ca to attach it. Once im done i use a debonder to get it off.

LOL

We posted just looking at the rocks and trying to ID them and they said I'm teaching my kid loitering and theft. 😅

Hahahaha

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
