this is illegal in Australia and you can get fined or imprisoned.  I think you are spoiling the environment and taking away the habitat of animals, fish etc.  Do the right thing and BUY your rocks.

Nice! good Job! We have a creek by our house and this is a great idea. As far as the stick in the muds talking about you getting arrested...who the hell really cares if your taking rocks from woods or a creek whatever?? I really doubt they would. I love this and when you add some plants around it it's going to look fantastic!

You lost me the second you started bragging about being a thief. I reported you to the state troopers and they will find you.
Lili Juarez
Lili Juarez - 6 years ago
Oh my goodness! yes it is illegal to take the rocks BUT why report somebody for doing so??? that's stupid!!! There is way worst crimes out there to be reported so how about getting that stick out of your ass and Report what is actually worth reporting unless you like to be called a freaking snitch!

The pond is awesome!
My to do list as summer hits my part of town is to go still big beautiful Flat Rocks to make my own pond! that's right not going to pay for them at all!!!
Would you like to know where I live just so you can snitch on me too?!!!
brucejoshua21

Ghost Gene but he is breaking the law. I agree , I believe the land belongs to us. I believe that our kids should see the same woods my grandfather saw. But if everyone did what he did we wouldn’t have much to show our kids or grandkids.
Ghost Gene
Ghost Gene - 6 years ago
brucejoshua21 do animals truly belong to people? Or rocks? No, just because you put a price on something doesn't mean you truly own it. I'm with my ancestors on this. Native Americans said we do not own the land. If the White people had not become what we are, this man wouldn't be classified as "stealing"
brucejoshua21
brucejoshua21 - 6 years ago
Carlene Stevenson if they weren't yours then yes. It is stealing. Anytime you take something off public, federal or private land without permission it is called theft.
Carlene Stevenson
Carlene Stevenson - 6 years ago
oh wait then there's fish in the creek, that would be a nice free add but that is even more of a crime because he's not soliciting the fish store.
Carlene Stevenson
Carlene Stevenson - 6 years ago
thinking he better not take any spring water for that pond they sell that too.
Carlene Stevenson
Carlene Stevenson - 6 years ago
I just drove past a yard full of pine cones that I stopped and loaded up my car opposed to buying them. I suppose since they sell them I should go to jail too.
Carlene Stevenson
Carlene Stevenson - 6 years ago
jealous much. I think you bought yours and are mad he got his for free and if you thought of it before you paid you'd had done the same.
brucejoshua21
brucejoshua21 - 7 years ago
forever.love.animals xoxo not sure if I responded or not but he stole a lot of rocks. Not one or two but a lot. He said, tons... now it depends on where he stole it from on which felony he committed. It's a felony because of the amount he stole. Now if he stole it from a national forest or other federal land it would be a federal crime. Yes, I compared his felony theft to other felonies. Once a person breaks the law then no one will know where they will stop. His next crime could be anything.
brucejoshua21
brucejoshua21 - 7 years ago
forever.love.animals xoxo yes, he has committed a felony. The amount of rocks he stole adds up to a felony. He said 15 dollars a rock... add that up. It's in the thousands. Which is a felony theft. If it's public land,such as a federal park or forest then jail time and a fine
forever.love.animals xoxo
forever.love.animals xoxo - 7 years ago
brucejoshua21 are you really comparing taking a few rocks from the town creek to murder? This isn't a serious enough crime to get arrested for anyways. The most they would do would be give him a warning.
brucejoshua21
brucejoshua21 - 7 years ago
forever.love.animals xoxo no, I'm a law abiding citizen that believes in law and order. He is committing a crime. In most states a felony bc of how valuable the rocks are. If he is willing commit one felony then what will keep him from committing other crimes such as arson, murder, rape... where does a criminal that goes unchecked draw a line?

Hey Dumpster Marcus, thanks for the video! My son has been digging a hole in our front yard all week. It's about 24" now but I'm trying to get it down to 4-5' so that we can put a few channel cats in there. What kind of fish and what kind of pump are you using? Is. Filter being used? Thanks! Dan P.S. He neglected to tell me the first step was to forage for rocks so we'll be backtracking and collecting some along the river.

Jamie Eberwein it's not a tarp because it's thicker and puncture resistant. You don't want a hole because the water will seep out into the ground.

So here's a question.... what about mosquitoes? I would be afraid the water would bring a host of them in my backyard, or does the moving water via the fountain keep them from sticking around?

Looks very nice though! You found some nice rocks!

As other people said, the surface has to be stagnant for them to breed, and fish is a good fix. You can also plant some water lilies or other aquatic plants that’ll cover the surface (as well as give you pretty flowers!). It also helps your fish if you have any since they like having things to hide under/in.

Bob Anderson

If you are not obnoxious out it (take 1 ton of rocks a load, bring a dump truck, etc.) and you don't make a habit of it, AND you are fairly quick, you will likely never have a problem.
However, technically, this does go against at least one law/statute/rule. It might only be 'rocks' but if everyone in town saw your video and thought "Hey, I know that place! Let's go down and some rocks and make our own pond!" that creekbed would be devistated, infrastructure could be destroyed, etc.
That is a gigantic "IF" but planning to avoid those catastrophic "IF's" is what we pay the guberment to do for us, so we can spend time on YouTube commenting instead of worrying about your house flooding next spring cause half the town quarried out the "dry" creekbed last summer making backyard ponds and now the creekbed is eroding and the creek is set to divert itself straight down Main Street.
Just sayin'

You most defiantly can be charged, as long as it's not private property, no one really cares, but some believe this can mess up the eco in areas that you disturb the natural rocks, Even if it's a dried up water way, pond or creek and if they see you they just start yelling and saying "HAY YOU CAN"T DO THAT" just ignore and act like your suppose to be there. If some official comes claim you did not no it was not ok to pick up rocks !!!LOL! I got my rocks from a landslide off a stretch of secluded road. I'll post my pond when it's done LOL!!!

If you take something, even rocks, you can be charged with theft. Try taking enough rocks to build a pond, and if it's federal land you could be charged with a federal crime. Look I'm just saying if your going to do it ask before you take. It would suck to be charged with theft over some rocks. There is a reason companies sell rocks. If I saw someone taking rocks from my property without asking I wouldn't call the cops but I would make sure they got off my property. Now if I was asked I wouldn't have a problem.

If the owners saw you they could press charges. It may be different in every state but I live in Alabama and it is against the law to take anything from someones property.

I think the pond looks good, and the rocks in the streambed in the woods was a good find, but it's also a beautiful thing in itself, and those rocks help the stream function correctly by reducing water turbidity (cleaning) and erosion (overall functionality). For that reason, you shouldn't show people where it is, because if everyone mines it the area will be lost.
