- A Rock Hunt in Lake Huron
The two main rocks I collect in this video are Petoskey stones and puddingstones. Both rocks are found mainly in Michigan, although a few may be found in some of the surrounding states.
The Petoskey stone (Hexagonaria percarinata) is an approximately 360 million old fossilized coral. It is the state stone of Michigan. Petoskey stones are calcite which is very soft, approximately 3 on the Mohs scale. Since they are so soft, they can be polished by hand. See this video for polishing instructions: • How to Hand Polish a P...
Puddingstones are a conglomerate stones comprised of red jasper and chert in a quartzite matrix. They are found in larger numbers on Drummond Island and St. Joseph Island in Canada but also across much of the lower peninsula of Michigan. They were called puddingstones by British settlers who thought they looked like a boiled suet pudding with berries. Here's a video showing polished puddingstones: • Tumbled Puddingstones

*For everyone who is upset that I threw rocks into the lake…*
If you read the comments, I have already been told many, many times what a terrible person I am for throwing rocks in the water. I have responded many times to these comments, but I keep getting more. I’m hoping that by pinning this, I can explain myself once and not have to keep typing the same thing over and over again.
I originally posted this video for a lapidary forum that I participate in. I was showing how I hunt rocks and explaining that not all Petoskey stones are good for lapidary work. When I first started polishing Petoskey stones, I brought back a lot of inferior stones and wasted a lot of time polishing rocks that were never going to look very good. I wanted to share what I had learned to save other people the trouble of learning the hard way. My intentions were to help people, not to upset them.
This video was made a couple years ago. Since it has upset so many people, I have stopped throwing rocks into the water, even when I’m not on camera. If this was a beach in another location, I could see where that would be a problem. Here’s what many people do not understand: this beach is not close to any public access, so there are not a lot of other people hunting rocks here. In fact, I’ve only seen one other person looking for rocks in the times I’ve been here.
The rocks on Great Lakes beaches move around a lot. The ice moves rocks as it plows across the beach. Wind moves tons of rocks. I have talked to homeowners along the beach who tell me that the beaches can be mostly sand, and then after a storm, there are rocks a couple feet deep. No matter where I leave rocks behind, they will get moved around by the waves. Throwing them out into the lake does not mean they’re gone forever. Leaving them on the beach does not mean that they’ll be there after the next wind. Check out this video (more towards the end) to see some examples of how the waves move rocks. ua-cam.com/video/XRJBk3Ue7uY/v-deo.html
Thanks for reading this, and I’m sorry if I have upset you. Once again, I am no longer throwing rocks into the water.
Hey, don't worry about the haters! This is very cool, I'd never heard of Petoskey rocks before seeing your video. I thought they looked like coral and a quick Google search half way thru your video, revealed a lot of info and photos. Going to finish watching the rest of your video now. Thx for sharing your hobby with UA-cam, learned something new today! 🌱
Only beginners keep all the rocks they find! The experienced collector is fussy about what is kept and carried! I throw most of what I find back to the Lake!
People will find anything to get on a high horse about. Don't worry about them, they're a very small and typically pathological few. Most of your audience are here for educational purposes and won't be swayed by a few people being petty and ridiculous, no matter how loud and mouthy they try to be. And your audience are the people you need to be focusing on. The goal of people who are getting on your case is to dissuade you from continuing in what you're doing because they're jealous, if they can't have it, then they'll do their best to convince you that it's not worth having. Don't let them have it and don't let them destroy it.
the people judge without knowing
Have you ever found a precious stone, looking for rocks?
I could watch you walk the shores all day long. Very jealous 😉
Wow, if I lived near there I would have probably collected enough rocks to build a house by now!! Beautiful rocks!
The water looks really clear satisfying to watch
“And I got my bucket and I’m all excited” I love this guy.
Autumn Leaf Yeah, I'm great. Very excitable.
I was only upset that you threw a perfectly good looking rock away and didn't take it home with you. If it was for me, I would have taken that nice looking brown and yellowish layered rock home. It shows deep weather changing formations and history of our earth in that peice of rock. Seems like a sedimentation taken place. I could be wrong. But it looks decorative to me. I still don't understand why people are upset with you for throwing rocks back to the ocean. I am not from the US, but I lived there many years long time ago. I still have cultural shocks when I hear this kind of stuff. Whats wrong in throwing them back to the ocean? Can anyone please tell me. As you said rocks emerges from the ocean to the sea shores and the waves invite them back inside during a high tide. I learnt something new from you, never knew a coral fossil formation before and that it becomes a rock and it will look like this. Thanks for a nice beach walk and rock hunt video.
Thanks for the nice comment, Raj. I think the comments were a result of people who have a complete misunderstanding about how large bodies of water work. This was filmed on Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes. It's not an ocean, and there are no tides. However, the rocks move around a lot due to waves. The water level has been high here for the past few years, so that whole area where I was walking in this video is in the water now. There are still lots of rocks up on the beach. There is a house on this beach that had a deck in front undermined by the water a couple years ago. Now there is about 100 feet of rocky beach in front of that deck. The water is still high though. Piles of rocks have worked their way down the beach and ended up in front of this house. The beach is always changing.
@@MichiganRocks Hi, thanks for the reply. My name is Svarupa by the way, Raj Bu is just a short name I kept for mom and dad for them to use online. Apparently they have given this tab to me. Anyways, back to the subject, I am sorry I didn't realize it was a lake. But a beautiful one indeed. I am interested in natural jem hunting videos and UA-cam recommended yours also in the list I think. I am very surprised to hear that the water has covered a great deal in that area. I have once did knee board skiing in such waters when I was in college in US. Your video reminded me of that experience. The video is nice and thanks for sharing. Do you find natural mineral stones in that lake?
@@rajbu1320 I'm not sure what you mean by "natural mineral stones" They're all natural minerals.
I used to do a lot of water skiing and kneeboarding. We sold our boat a couple years ago, though.
@@MichiganRocks oh are they all natural minerals stones, i didnt know. I thought mostly the jem stones are formed by minerals and other substances. Oh nice to hear you did a lot of water sports.
Used to be a Michigander and miss it terribly, absolutely beautiful state! Thank you so very much for sharing this incredible video. While up there I found some pretty awesome stones on the beaches as well, always loved collecting rocks since being a kid. I still have them and since seeing you're video, I hope I am lucky enough to find I picked up a couple of those beauties!
Lori Waldren it is beautiful, isn’t it? I just got back from three days of picking rocks on Lake Superior. The weather wasn’t terribly cooperative, so I didn’t find anything spectacular, but expect more videos soon.
@@MichiganRocks Absolutely gorgeous! Autumn in Michigan, the beauty is indescribable. Excited to see more videos, in heart I'll be walkin' those beaches with ya!
@@bellarose4444 I'm uploading one right now.
Your outfit just reminded me of Captain Ahab. 6yrs back a definite BLAST FROM THE PAST! You're definitely entertaining young man. Champion.
Cool video! It is neat seeing where these rocks are collected as the Petoskey stones look beautiful once polished.
.
LOL ~ ~ ~ “Not enough pud!” I’ve been a rockhound my entire life. These stones are gorgeous. Thank for sharing! 😎
I'm glad you liked it!
Nice
I like your channel just as it is. Don't feel you have to say anything to drama. I see truth in what your saying. Glad to see wet rocks, the beauty is brought out.
Nice walk tour along the seashore and collecting beautiful rocks. Interesting to watch. Tnx4sharing.
You're welcome. That's actually not the sea. It's Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes. It's fresh water.
I did not know anybody like rocks the way I do .great
Right at the end of our road....love it! The colours of rocks are pretty cool
Yes it was good
I just love how clear the water is.
O,boy,I would love to wander at that shore!
Such very interesting stones washing up on the beach all the time time,real treasures,but rather a load ,to take home I'd think.
This is my favorite beach. Lots of fun stuff here.
fantastic what the nature brings out everything. many greetings from German
I was born in Petoskey so this video made me smile:)
I’m learning… So I started from the beginning of your videos, though I have seen a few recent ones. Thanks for the education on rock… I love them!
This was my first beach video. I filmed it with an old iPad. Hopefully my new ones are a little better, but none have done as well as this one did.
Beautiful! Love collecting stones
Wowwww i love beautiful stone i wish i have that in my dreams
What a joy watching that. Reminds me of my youth.
Robert Schultz You used to be a rock? Ha,ha,ha sorry I couldn’t let it pass.
I always loved throwing rocks into the lakes and rivers in Michigan. The plunking sounds calmed my soul.
Curious what your end use is? You seem very particular. How does one know what will be polish worthy, and do you tumble them? Thanks
Freddie Hankins OOOPS,
Knowing what is worth polishing is something you learn by trying a bunch of stuff and seeing what works well or bad. Basically it's experience.
I live on a michigan inland lake that used to be, many yrs. ago, a gravel pit...my grandchildren and i have found many petoskey stone and other fossils from ancient seas no doubt left when the glaciers moved through...Lake Huron is one of my very favorite places. Love this video.
Thanks. I have a lot more newer videos that you might like too.
You collection must be awesome. The ones you found and left would have made my day. Really cool finds. Has to be so much fun. Was fun to watch. Great video
I don't bring home lots of rocks. I used to, but then they just end up piled in my basement. I have learned to just take a few really nice rocks home. So my collection is not large, but a have a few nice rocks. The puddingstone in this video is the one I consider the best one that I was able to bring home. This is the best one though: ua-cam.com/video/we8N3E7owfo/v-deo.html
I have lots of cool rocks from Lake Michigan I love to go rock hunting
Beautiful puddling stones .. Thanks for sharing
Thankyou for sharing your hunt. What beautifully clear water. I love looking for rocks at the beach.
Sarah Strong thanks for coming along. Beach hunts are my favorite.
I'm from Ionia, Michigan. Here we go field walking to find lots of pretty pudding stones. I have a nice collection. They are soo pretty! It's nice to see you leave some behind for others!
my life as Ryleigh, No he's doesn't; he SAID selfishly THROWS THEM, so he doesn't pick them up again, but now others can't enjoy them either!
He tosses them up on the shore for others to find! Who says he's throwing them away??? You people are so negative😒
@@staceyt557 Awww, so what if he throws them back in the water? That's where they came from! He could put them in a pouch and take them home, so what if he skips stones, instead? To the stone skippers out there: be sure and examine the rock you are about to toss because someone may like it? Hahahaha! Finder's keepers, loser's weepers!
That was cool. I'd love visit lake huron & rock-hound along those shores.
Lynnora Lovato 8402085093
Wouldn't mind finding you on a beach Lynnora.
Naveen Sing u ok?
I love that you throwing all the Petoskey stones back and it's awesome the pudding stones that you find I know when I was there I wish I would have found a Petoskey stone even if it wasn't that good... could have added it to my nice rock collection
I moved from MI over twenty years ago. I brought a bucket of rocks from the U P with me. I still have them
I love it ,I broth some to Canada from Greece.
Sad rock: “Why am I never good enough?!”
Oh I thougt I was the only one who thought like that!!
My sisters use to walk the shores of Lake Huron for the same reason. So many rocks we've picked
A good diversity of colors, fossils n stones. Not a bad way to spend part of your day! Thanks for the video.
Not bad at all. It’s one of my favorite things to do.
@@MichiganRocks Cool! Could think of lots worse things to do myself. LOL
Going to the north shore of Lake Superior this week can’t wait to rockhound alittle! Got many tips from your videos! Thanks❤️
Hope ya had fun! I used to be quite a rockhound myself.
Even the pebbles are beautiful, you are so lucky...
Absolutely phenomenal Pudding Stones!!!
That one big one was my best ever. I love that rock.
My favorite activities, looks like a cedar beach Long Island. 🏖😍
*+Michigan Rocks*
I don't know why you appeared in my suggested videos, but I'm pleased you did. I used to go rock hounding for agates and greenstone (pounamu/jade/nephrite) here in New Zealand. The former are found on South Island's east coast and the latter its west coast beaches and up some limited river valleys that you need permission to take from if you're not from the local iwi (Maori tribe). It brings me joy to see you picking up these extraordinary and ancient boulders and showing them to us. If you have any links you think are worth checking to understand the formation of the pudding and Petosky's stones, I'd love to know more. I'd really love to see the great lakes. What an incredible part of the USA they're in.
Sue Mead It’s fun to see the different rocks that people find all over the world, isn’t it? I’d love to see New Zealand some day, it looks beautiful. Here are a couple links you might enjoy:

So you throw some rocks back...kinda fun wondering what they’ll look like after 10,000 or so more years of tumbling thru the sand? It’s not like you’re tossing them into someone’s yard, geez! Thanks for all the cool videos
North West Ontario, Canada has tons of Pudding Stone, a dime a dozen. Sault Ste Marie Ontario, all along the banks of the St. Mary's River US AND CANADA and all across northern Ontario in the larger lake bodies or rivers. Love the stuff. My bro used to own land on St. Joseph's Island in the St. Mary River between the US and CAnada and there was beaches full of pudding stone more than anything else.
Dude, you are living my dream!
Vey beautiful
i collected a load of stones in my area,none really special,i did find one in bulgaria that i have yet to examine fully,it seems to resemble a piece of concrete,that lake is a treasure trove....
Beautiful pudding stones..Im jealous!!!
Thank you 😊
For sharing your finds
I just have to ask, what did you do with that last, magnificent pudding? I’ve never seen its equal.
I've been afraid to do anything with it. Right now, it's in my house being appreciated in its natural form. Someday I might polish it.
I dug up a pudding stone on my property which is now at the top of my driveway , weighs about 700pounds
Would LOVE TO SEE ROCK, perhaps you could send me a picture or a link do a picture of it at: mickie78250@gmail.com. just saw this video I think I'm in love with pudding stones.
@@mickie2241 lol, you got a rock fetish or something?
Nice
Everybody has their own taste. I love collecting rocks. I don't make jury out of them. I do know some people do. But I would have kept it ones you threw away. They have character. I saw a lot of other ones. That is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your video. On collecting rocks.
When I first started, I took home every Petoskey stone I found. I spent a lot of time shining up rocks that were never going to look good. There are so many Petoskey stones on this beach that I can afford to pick just the best ones. I just don't see any point in bringing rocks home that I can't use.
My Mom owned a house on Lake Huron 1.5 mi N of Lexington. A lot of my siblings grew up there and I lived there twice. Things change, kids grow up, and the house was sold. I miss watching the storms come in off the lake, the lightning 🌩 that hit the house, the sunrises, sailing and boating, swimming and floating on warm perfect days, huge bonfires 🔥 on the beach, fireworks, long walks on the sand, trying to get across the rocks to the sand and sandbar, rock hunting for Mom to cut and tumble them and for my garden and just to look at. You brought all that back for me. I sent this to my 85 yr old Mom who can’t get out of her house alone and she loved it! I also sent it to my son who lived there too for a few years and is now 43 and lives in So California with his wife and my 5 year old Granddaughter. She’s a rock hound too. I always wondered what those pudding stones were called and how they were made. I never saved them. The black with bowl shaped hollows were interesting too. Never knew what they were. It’s amazing that Petosky stones made it all the way down here from Lake Superior isn’t it? I have a few but wish I had more. Thank you for sharing this. You touched a lot of lives, even a little girl 👧🏼 in CA! 💕🖖🏼
I actually get a lot of comments similar to yours. People grew up in Michigan or spent summers here and then moved away and now enjoy my videos. This was my first video like this, so if you liked this, filmed on an old iPad, you would probably enjoy my newer videos.
I grew up on Hubbard Lake, an inland lake near Alpena. A lot of your memories are the same as mine. We never drove to town for fireworks, we'd just watch people around the lake shooting them off. I'd have to have to add waterskiing and catching crayfish to the list.
The black rocks with a bowl shaped hole are called omars, which is short for omarolluk. They originally came from somewhere up in Canada. Since geologists know exactly where they came from, they're used to figure out where glaciers went.
I don't think there are any Petoskey Stones in Lake Superior. They don't occur north of a line from about Rogers City to Harbor Springs. I'm not sure where the southern line is, but the whole area all across the northern part of the lower peninsula has limestone bedrock. That's where the Petoskey Stones come from.
Thanks for the nice comment. I love it when I can bring back good memories of Michigan.
I would love to have 1 of those multicolored rocks you are finding. Ever want to let 1 go, look me up.
If you ever get a chance to go to Cape Cod beaches, they have beautiful granite and quartz stones. Some of the very best stones I've seen. Around Jacksonville, FL there is a fossil bed that has a lot of shark teeth. Some people have even found megalodon teeth.
artistpw we have lots of granite and quartz here too. I’m not sure that they’re the best, but there’s lots. If I ever get to Cape Cod, I’ll check out the beaches.
Waha
walking on the beach looking for beautiful stones, lots of quality stones there friends. happy hunting.
You cleaned up on Puddingstones. They were beautiful.
I still haven’t touched that big one. Its the best I’ve ever found.
Pedrinhas muito lindas 😍 eu levaria todas para casa 😂
Omg I wanna go there and treasure hunt.
Love the video!
The chain corals are awesome if you sandblast them with a relatively soft medium. You can blast the matrix away to a depth of 1/4 inch or more that makes the coral stand up above the matrix as it would originally look when growing on the ancient seabed. Makes for a spectacular specimen, even if it was not very impressive looking when you found it. Quite a bit of it around in Illinois and Wisconsin. We find a Petoskey impersonator every now and then too.
Mark Kmiecik you can also use acid to eat away the matrix on a chain coral. I tried that once, then dropped it on the way to show my wife. I might try again this summer.
I would struggle to find rocks with suck potential where I live. Our volcanoes died out a with the Dinosaurs. Now I can imagine everyone ripping off all the pretty rocks to flog them on eBay for 1000 times their actual value. OK, this is your most popular rock n roll video. I need to go basic, I try too hard.
You seem to have something figured out with over a million subs. I just watched a video of you killing a spider in your bathroom and screaming like a little girl. I have to admit, I was very entertained. If I ever need a Thomas train, I know where to go for a good review!

Beautiful. and clear
I really enjoyed watching your video, so satisfaying to watch. I would like to know what is the name of the colored stones though.haha
Puddingstone. Check the video description for more information.
well, the hell with the next person who may want your throwaways! lol!
One of my favorite hobbies.
Oh yay, I can't help myself whenever I am near rocks especially rocks in water, glad this channel was suggested to me! New sub here from Michigan (currently the Newaygo area). Thanks for sharing!
I’m trying to decide where to go this weekend. I need to get on a beach again too.
those stones would look soo nice in my aquarium..
Always soak stones and other nature items going into your aquarium in I.O. Star Sanitizer (a.k.a. "StarSan") used by brewers for cleaning out bottles and other equipment during the brewing process. It's food safe, but given the size of fish, you should rinse them thoroughly in distilled water (if you don't have distilled, use anything but chlorinated tap water or hard well water) to rinse them. It would be even better to rinse them in some of your aquarium water and leave them in for a few days before adding them to your aquarium. Lakes and rivers everywhere harbor all manner of strange microorganisms just waiting to build a colony in your aquarium!
@@truckerenoch8824 I agree
All the stones thrown back in the water will eventually wash back to shore as the tide tumbles them. They will be rounder and more polished.
Naw,Shirley they can go under the same and may never be seen for hundred years or so after they go up and down the shore line.
Thanks, I'm getting tired of reading the no throw comments. Use your brains dear people!
I like how you get down close to the stones. Easier for us to see. Nice video. Thank you
Filmed with an old iPad held over the water. Those were the days.
Reminds me of hunting rocks at lake Superior. Thanks for the memory poke.
I LOVE hunting Lake Superior. It's about a five hour drive, so I can't get up there too often, but I usually go to the Grand Marias to Whitefish Point area and also to the Keweenaw every summer. I'll take a camera this year and make a video.
Leave them for someone else who may like them just the way they are. I have a beautiful puddin rock my mom gave me yrs ago.

I have one about the size of a football, under 25 pounds of course that I’d sell. 😊👍🏻
Okay Mama how much what's the size got a picture I am now in love with pudding stones. I wouldn't mind taking a trip up there maybe I hear there's a winery by the guys who do oak island are you close by perhaps to the winery.
I LOVE "RIVER" type rocks!!!. Didnt know they had names, thats cool!
Racheal Hart I think most rocks have names. Unfortunately I don’t know all of them.
Loved the video! and had good time reading all of the crazy comments about you throwing the rocks away..lol.. I beach walk and snorkel for rocks
Yeah, I sure did upset a lot of people. I really never saw that coming.
Look people, there is a Gazillion of stones on the beach! No need to get offended over a few that get tossed back in the lake! Come on! Get a grip!
Maybe there should be concrete poured on them, so they stay where they are - would that be a satisfying solution for you?
edit: ... and Michigan Rocks rocks! ;-)
Thanks Marty. I know I'll never convince some people, but hiding the rocks from other people by tossing them into the lake never crossed my mind. I'll toss them the other way from now on though.
Waha
Эх бэ с этих камешков да ролы бетонные залить,да полирнуть,во красота.
I love rock hunting!
Petosky stones galore . Nice ones. Water sprayer .. Dusty gravel road. Spritz stones on side of road.. Loads of very nice stones. Jump right out when wet. Undamaged. Many showing coral striations and development. Lived in Gaylord area for years. Had tons of jewelry grade stones. Small gravel pits a treasure trove.
The other way to hunt them is on a rainy day. They sure are easier to see when wet.
instead of throwing them away to avoid picking them up again, why not put them into your bucket. And when you are done in that area, dump the bucket out.
Hi Mark, the bucket would get super heavy in no time. I don’t stay in one area for long, I’m always walking. I’ll just toss them onto the dry beach from now on. Thanks for making a suggestion without calling me names like so many others have.
Why
How about all the cry babies go take a nap. Ever been told that storms and waves will bring them or others to the shores. Geeze....ungrateful sacks of tears
You collect the best as you go, not everything you find. Rocks are heavy!
Stupid idea, bucket would need to be on wheels. Get a real worry to complain about and allow this rock hound do his thing! To each his own!!
Why don't you describe what kind of rock you're holding for us ``rock ignorant" newbies?! Lol! Thanks for the great vids! Just discovered you.
You're right. I am new at making videos, so I appreciate the suggestion. I plan to make a lot more of these as soon as the snow melts.
I’m a rock hound who enjoyed your video - baffled by interfering humans, obsessed with smooth sandy perfect beaches...now throwing rocks into lakes in perpetuity in your honor!
Lindas pedras! Stones Beautiful
Picky picky picky!
I sell lots of Rocks!
Throwing away dollar Bills!!!
Ok Rock Hounds he threw them back! Let’s Go!

And when the water level goes DOWN...you'll probably encounter those same rocks, again?
It's not so much that the water level goes up and down, but the waves rearrange the rocks drastically. The rocks in the water end up on beach and the rock on the beach end up in the water.
Lake levels are probabily only going up. Climate Change Chaos predicts increasing rains and precipitation till the end. If you live in Michigan you would have noticed by now from your own observation.
@Freddie Hankins You can look up Lake Michigan water levels on the Army Corp site or articles. Up at least three foot last year and rising. With more melt and increasing rains - why do you claim levels are lowering? Nestle takes alot but not that much. 😌
@Freddie Hankins Being a climate change denier is obsurd.
Those are beautiful pudding stones
That big one is the best one I’ve found, other than the one I couldn’t pick up.
On those lonely beaches, it must be quite comforting to have all of those cool rocks to keep you company!
So far, I haven't started up too many conversations with them or heard them talk to me. The more I hang out with them though, the more likely that is to happen.
@@MichiganRocks Well I suppose so. 'Don't know too much about Da Youpers, but us Trolls have "singing sands" down here. Or so I've actually heard!
Martin Camp I’m a troll too, but I haven’t heard about singing sands. Maybe that’s because I avoid sandy beaches. Tell me more.
@@MichiganRocks Fellow Troll.... Check it out!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singing_sand
Please don’t throw them back in, I collect mainly crystals but would love one of the spotted rocks. I am willing to pay, in polished too. I have some hag stones from Michigan.
It sucks that you throw the stones you don't want out into the water. By doing so you eliminate an opportunity for someone else to collect. Very inconsiderate if you ask me.
Every time the wind blows and the water gets rough, the rocks get completely rearranged. I don’t want to walk back and look at all the same rocks, so I toss them out in water. I have never seen anyone else collecting rocks on this beach, so I don’t think I’m bothering anybody by throwing rocks. Thanks for your comment though.
No tides in Lake Huron...just waves.
@@mimist2 tides everywhere.
Ok, granted the entire Earth has tides. But ours in Michigan are tiny. The greatest level change of the year being measured at around 2 inches. Not enough to uncover a stone thrown that far. Eventually, the waves will push them back up to the shore...
@@MichiganRocks Thanks. I'm glad you weren't doing it to be inconsiderate. Makes me feel better about it. I do things sometimes without thinking too. lol. Human
Ive been there its a nice place to rockhound....was like glass the day i went ....thanks for the video.
Mid-December... 2022... this was the first day I threw back a fairly nice Petoskey stone. It was about 2-3 inches, but it was super-porous the eyes were completely brown. Having experience with hand polishing and watching your previous vids, it all makes sense. I feel like I should mark this day on the calendar.
Good job, Mike! I used to save every one I picked up. After a lot of disappointing polish attempts, I started getting more selective.
They sure don't make rocks like they used to.
Ha ha! That's funny.
😀
Those rocks spent their lives making it up the beach and you threw them back in.
Yep, I do not throw them far away. I call rocks I do not want leaveherrights. Means you leave her right where you found her. I also put Google eyes on rocks and sell them with a little leaverherright poem I wrote about 25 years ago.
Good for you - there's always be someone out there finding something to complain about
Waha
Waha
Nice
Siiick man glad you made the decision that no one else would have liked to find those
some people are just angry period. the water washed these stones onto the beach so what if you throw them back into the water. most of these stones you pulled out of the water any way. rock and fossil hunting is a lot of fun ,love your pudding stones. too bad people can't just enjoy watching your adventure, thanks for sharing it.
