    Had the itch and made our way back out to one of our favorite spots to rockhound on Lake Michigan. She did not disappoint, I found two of the coolest agates, as well as quite a few cold water agates, tons of beautiful jasper and fossils galore. Even found a few that I had no idea what they were. Couldn't ask for a better day on Lady Michigan. It was find after find after find! Hope you enjoy and stay tuned, in 5 days we are headed up to the north shore of Lake Superior for a rockhounding adventure first for us, we've never rock hunted the north shore! Hope you enjoyed todays video!

    I just go into rockhounding and found out about all the rocks around lake superior (learned about yooperlite) and then I see this channel!

    WOW, that one at 2:30 is stunning and so unique!! I live in the land of granite, and we don't have any out here in the Sierras like that. I wonder if the one at 1:45 has red jasper? Loved the sound of the waves. Awesome hunt!! ROCK ON! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️

      I’d assume maybe 2:30 is granite but so unique compared to the normal stuff we typically find! Thanks for watching, it was such a fun day!

    Hey there neighbor! Im up in Door. I work at the rock shop in Fish Creek. Just wanted to say hi and let you know I also love the green ones on the beach. We've been to the beach you are at. We found a few agates aaaannd We found some small uranium glass pieces. On our way to north shore in a couple weeks. Hopefully we will find some agates. Thanks for the vid!!

      Well hello there! We’ve found a couple pieces of uranium glass at that beach as well!! Best of luck on your North Shore trip, that was one of our favorite RH trips yet! We’ll have to swing into the Rock Shop next time we come through Fish Creek and take a look around!! Thanks for watching

    This was great, thank you for taking us along! That cold water agate was BEAUTIFIL! If you don't mind my asking what town is that beach near where you were hunting?

      Thanks for watching, it was such a great day besides the wind (but I think that worked in our favor!) the beach is in the Manitowoc area 😁

    Might the jasper at 24:25 been red oolitic jasper?

    • @Operocks
      @Operocks  Рік тому +1

      Yes! That’s it, I was drawing a blank and that’s definitely what it is. Thanks for watching and helping with the ID!
