Whitby jet hunting (the long awaited video)

What a wonderful day, hunting for jet at Robin hoods bay.

Oh Bonny, What an absolutely wonderful thing to have access to jet in such a lovely location. A day there would just fly the brisk afternoon breezes to cool you as you climb up the hill from the sea. I've been a rock hunter forever and cleaning those rocks is a labor of love, ...but I find that it's how you get to know each one and reveal their individual, special attributes. I so enjoyed this video. I loved the "scratch testing. ❤ Thank you, Bonny, for posting it and I hope you are well and enjoying your all of your summer.👍

Hi Bonny good to see you, and so neat to see where that Jett comes from. It is a fascinating stone. Such a peaceful area. Especially with the cows and that blue bird. 😁👍

Thank you! Lovely shiny example on top in your candy dish. Must be wonderful to find these locally? I've hoped to find amber and.jet in a kelp whorl but I'm not near the ocean so have to buy jet when I come accross it. I solumly agree Whitby is the best! Lately I'm using boiled linseed to make it shiny. That and baby oil work well to clean jet.the boiled linseed may have.lead im it so be careful! Chamois and red rouge also help. Thanks! Bye!😅

I've watched your vidio before. I'm sure I quite enjoyed it. This time I admired one particular very glasslike piece you put on top of the pile in your candy dish. It was almost like obsidian. That must have been a wonderful discovery for you. I'm guessing your somewhere near Whitby, or Yorshire? Maybe Dover? At any rate your very blessed to be able to beach comb for jet. I live inland from the coast and presently do not drive, so I am envious of anyone able to travel to the coast and search for jet or amber amidst the kelp. I ve heard that boiled linseed and lampblack are used to liberate the full shine to a piece of real jet. Im having trouble right now just finding boiled linseed oil. I hope to polish some jet I found at a book store. I'm sure you have a very much more high quality piece of jet than I; but I will still continue my vapid search for the ultimate glassy piece of jet. Thank you for your beautiful vidio. You might sell your vidio to a Tourist bureau for your area and deprive funds from your passion for jet? Hope your able to find a huge chunk or open seam that is legal to pick! Bye for now.😅

How much is it worth weight wise and where would you sell it?
