5 Ugly Rocks Worth More Than Gold (Most People Toss Them)

Get The Rockhound's Bible here: https://therockhoundscompass.com Ugly is not a defect. Half the time ugly is the packaging. A nodule that hides good agate comes out of the ground looking like a dried potato, and a thunderegg looks like a lump of dirt with warts on it. The pretty rocks on a gravel bar are mostly just pretty rocks. The ones that pay are the ones nobody wants to put in their pocket. In this video I go through five ugly rocks that can be worth more than gold by weight, what each one looks like with the crust still on it, the specific kind of ugly you want — the bumps, the rind, the odd heft — and the ugly rocks that really are just ugly, so you are not carrying home a bucket of nothing. Most people sort by looks on the bank and throw the winners back before they ever get to the car. What's the ugliest thing you've ever kept? Tell me in the comments.
