Quincy Lakes Washington not so common pink Opal. Rockhound trip take 2. #thefinders
Second after work trip out to the Quincy Lakes. This time to stock up on more pink colored opal. This video Includes vague directions but if you pay attention to some of the video you may be lucky and find where I’ve been finding this cool stuff!
I include collecting of the Opal and some surface collecting to and from the spot. The last portion going forward will be me cutting some of the days finds and showing off what’s inside at the end.
Thank you for watching and subscribe today.

That opal in that wash is coming from a source. I wonder if you can back track it to a big deposit?
Did some BIG geology hiking Frenchman and Echo Coulees a couple weeks ago and then swung by this spot. Super awesome can’t thank you enough, only brought home three pieces didn’t do any digging or anything. Super appreciate you sharing!
Same here Currently Rockhounding told me about your site. Been rockhounding with my dad since the 1970s. Looking for walk in places now that he is over 70 and lost a lung. Thanks for the video. I think we may try to find it.
Any times on finding this location? The spot we went recently didn’t find much.
Wish me luck. I’m going to try to find it next week. And I’ll backfill my holes!!
Do you have a Instagram to show pics of your cool findings?
Love the color! Referred to you by currently rockhounding!!
your music ie way loud while the speaking is low
Thanks for sharing. Are there any other rocks in area, coming up from Dayton Wa to camp and try luck this spring.
Hi there hey When you do a video Get to the point people don’t want to sit here and watch you driving around just get to the rock and shows what you got That’s the easy part
I need me a saw like that.
VERY NICE, GREAT VIDEO, What’s the biggest you have found? Is that the road your digging in ?
Love that glow
I like it. It reminds me of the opalized wood I I’ve found in very southern Washington as well as very southern Oregon.
Do you think there could be bigger stuff that hasn’t been chunked up by road work? Or maybe is it just degraded and disjointed from a bigger piece. I’ve done areas that’s couldn’t find a piece larger than a quarter. I could find a thousand dump trucks of it though and still not make a dent.
Not sure it’s as pretty as yours though. I really do enjoy this hobby. How cool is it that your close to a great mineral plus thousands more. Lucky.
Thank you for the great video Opal is my birthstone and i am so excited to go and try and find some !!!! Thank You look and i forward to more of your videos.
I was wondering if it was possible to get location. And I always make sure to back fill my holes really glad to see you mention that
Thanks!
I went up there a few weeks ago and found a 5 pound glob of orangish pinkish rock. Have you ever run across anything like this at Quincy Lakes?
Hello!
Thanks for a great video. I live in Sunnyside at the moment. I have a large piece of Jade that I apparently need to have certified. Is there anyone you know of here in Central Washington that can do that? I grew up in Quincy. Small world.
That pink opal sure is pretty.
Nice video and cool material. I saw the mention on Currently Rockhounding and wanted to check this out. Going to have to check this out when we head up in that neck of the woods. German Chocolate Cake, huh? That sounds suspiciously Zentner-ish. It’s so satisfying to see the finding of the Opal and the slicing. Subscribing and looking forward to seeing more!
The intro to this video was cool!
Currently rockhounding turned me on to checking you out I love his videos hoping yours are just as great about to find out got a feeling they are
just subscribed! you found some beautiful treasures, thank you for sharing them with us
Love the video keep up the awesome work
I also found you from Currently Rockhounding. Excellent video beautiful material. I’m a subscriber now!
Beautiful rocks indeed! I have family that lives in Quincy. Have to add that trip for sure!
Awesome video do you ever find anything with "fire" in it? i love common opal it comes in some really cool colors seems like the pink ones here are awesome tho!!
There are a couple huge cashes of this and more in a couple spots down there. Just have to know where to look.
