    Kingsley North is a lapidary store in Michigan's U.P. They make a great cab machine and sell many other brands too. They have a huge selection rough rock, tumblers, grit, jewelry supplies etc. at good prices. I buy most of my coarse grit from here in 45 lb. bags. It's the best price I have found.

      @@MichiganRocks Rob, I also like it when you go from the beach to polishing a rock and then back to the beach. If you don't go home first from the beach, it's fine that way also!! But it is cool how you go from one place to another!! 20 degrees here and the sun isn't coming out today!! I have to go blow leaves real soon! Association got rid of the lawn service at the end of October. I am on an end where I get more dead leaves and snow because of the air flow. That's fine, because I don't feel like I am in an association. But...not happy about this. I cannot stand the amount of leaves that are hanging around in the yard!! So no griping and I'll go have fun!! 🤣🤣🤣 Have a Good One!! 👍

    I think if somebody told you 20 years ago that you were going to be walking Lake Michigan, picking up rocks with a spoon to show to the camera, you’d probably think they were insane. Funny how life works out.

    Hey Rob! 👋
    Thanks for sharing another great video! I enjoy getting to watch you and Kyle rock hunt together! It seems like you guys get along really well, and always have a lot of fun. It's awesome you two have been able to connect so many times this year! If you don't mind me asking (and I apologize if you've already mentioned it), but how did you guys meet?
    I believe the rock you found around 4:19 was banded rhyolite.
    P.S. - I got a chuckle out of your "hard water" comment! 😂

      Kyle is from Michigan. His mom got cancer a few years ago, so he has been up visiting her much more often for the past couple of years. He just lost her earlier this week, so I don't think he'll be coming up as much next summer. I hope he does though.
      Since we're both guys who make UA-cam videos about rocks he contacted me a few years ago to do a video together. At this point, he has a room at our house. He has stayed here at least four or five times in the past three years. He's easy to have around, so we like when he visits.

    As always, a LOT of beutiful rocks, but I know you can`t keep them allI like that when you find a stone, then cut it, or polish it and show us. Some do that quit often and that is what I really like. All at once.

    QUESTION- Inn one of your videos you Tumbled Rocks for a year, you did one batch in silicon carbide/no polish and the other polished. We are new to this Tumbling / Rock hounding Hobby. I know that the Rocks reduces in size. So, if one was to Tumble Rocks for a year in Silicon Carbide or just tumbling the Rocks, would ther be no rocks left, since Rocks being Tumbled reduces in size???

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  11 місяців тому +1

      I'm not sure I understand your question. First, I don't recommend tumbling rocks for a year without checking on them. That was a stunt/experiment just to do something extreme to see what would happen. I learned a lot from that little experiment though, like silicon carbide will never polish a rock.
      Tumbling them for a year without changing grit will not reduce the rocks to nothing. Changing grit each week like I usually do will reduce the size more since there's more grinding with fresh, coarse grit. I have often tumbled rocks down to about half their original size. That takes about four or five months, though, depending on the rock type.

      People call that cladopora, but that's not necessarily accurate. There is more than one coral fossil that can be in a black matrix like that. But since that's what a lot of amateurs call it, and I'm an amateur too, that's what I usually go with.
