  • Winter rockhounding is limiting because of ice and snow and frigid temperatures but with unseasonably warm weather it was time to hit the beach. This is a new to me beach. Lake Erie. Geneva State Park in Ohio. Beautiful blue slag, fossils, colorful rocks everywhere. #rockhounding #rocks #fossils #greatlakes #lakeerie #minerals #granite #feldspar #epidote #unakite #beaches

    931 is probably honeycomb coral. I find a lot of it in Lake Erie

      Thanks for watching and commenting. That is amazing that you find so much glass. There are so many people looking for it on our beaches that I find very little. Where do you think it is all coming from, our side or your side?

    I’ve driven from Warren, OH up to Ashtabula Walnut Beach Park just to walk the beach and look at rocks. Beach glass too

      I only get to Ashtabula. I tried Geneva once and drove all the way up….only to find out it was motorcycle weekend and there was a mile of bikes parked side by side, both sides of the road. Holy cow.

    9:45 is very interesting looking ! Got to admit, I am loving the wave sounds :) So many great finds on Lake Erie. Enjoyed the rock hunt😊

      That fossil at 9:45 is broken at a weird angle so ID is tough. It is for sure Rugose type coral but I need to sand it down to get a good look at the pattern.

      It is a great one for rockhounding. There is also sand. Rocky by the water, sandy away from the water.
