It was nice meeting up with you and Sara again. Excellent day to be in the Olympics and just to look at big rocks. I did go back with Jeff and Forrest and we collected that jasper I pulled out of the stream. Hard to believe I could barely move it and it wasn't a big jasper.

Rockhounding in that terrain is no joke. Kris has been such a mentor to many of us! He knows that terrain well and just has a good time.

Nice to see you guys getting the Olympic experience! Kris is the best guide in the area! The seam that green jasper came from is way up river, up several tributaries, at the very top of my claim. It is the same stuff as the slabs and cab I sent you before. Beautiful stuff! Sorry I was busy that day, I could have taken you to the claim and shown you the huge red plume agates I'm mining. Keep on digging!

Man those things are huge! We were cutting some big jasperized agatized stromatolites today and… it may be time for a new blade and we may have to figure out how to slow the feed rate. Our jasper was tiny compared with the one Kris found. Too big 🤷🏻♂️😆 I didn’t feel like spending 10 hours. Hope Old Guy makes some more videos but I think he said he’s done a while back

Great Adventure Jared with the 'Old Guy'. Don't believe I've ever seen Jasper so large before. Thanks for letting us tag-a-long!
-
I am really starting to appreciate Jasper. I am looking forward to you cutting that green one.
-
Kris! Get back to making videos! Miss you!
-
Good video. He seemed like a good guy. Willing to share his treasures and advice. I hope you are going to show us the end results of the cuts.

I was glad to see Kris last weekend (Oct 7th)

The forests on the Olympic peninsula are so freaking thick you could see only a few yards away. I can see why people have claimed to see Bigfoot or other creatures. Dude those are some huge beautiful jaspers. You almost need a hand truck or wagon if you can roll it towards a trail.
-
Those are some massive Jasper boulders! If only one could extract those out for some nice decorative lawn rocks 🪨 😅
-
Cool finds. Old Guy is not that old😀
-
Thanks for sharing Jared! Such a beautiful area to enjoy. 🌲

Somewhere way up close to the headwaters of Germany creek is a pice of red jasper the is almost as big as this massive one . Pop and I could not get it out of the canyon so we left it . This was 30 years ago so I imagine mother nature reclaimed it into the creek bed
-
nice finds
-
I am just learning the differences in jasper and agates, etc. Love your content! Edutainment at its finest
-
Excellent video!...makes me want to come back out to the PNW!....please cut some slabs out of that green jasper!..im looking forward to seeing it polished!
-
Welcome to my nationhood, the real PNW. I know the location of a piece of jade the size of a bus. It's in the park, found it in an old survey.

Nice.
