I learned everything I know about yooperlite hunting from Eric. Just returned to OH from a UP vacation with yooperlites from the size of a penny to a large apple. Two hunters, three hours, 60 YLs. We were in a little cove, maybe 50 feet wide and the waves were rough. I bought a couple 365 nm, filtered lights and a backup Harbor Freight $6 light. I couldn't see a yooperlite in my hand with the cheap light!!! Don't cheap out. Also - don't think you have to be on the east side of the UP. Finding a good beach is the tricky part. ***wear safety glasses. Those lights mess with your eyes!
That addiction warning should almost be even bigger. Before this year I had never gone rock hunting. I started looking for Yooperlites while up at my cabin in the western UP since there’s nothing else to do at night with the Corona having everything shut down. Long story short now I’ve gone hunting probably 30 times while up there and I have two rock tumblers running non stop in my garage full of only Yooperlites. I’ve already even started making Christmas presents with the polished rocks. These rocks are most definitely addicting!
This is such a fascinating hobby. It's just the right combination of tech and happenstance. You are the perfect teacher for this subject. I am definitely buying a light from you.
I tallied up 15! My boyfriend and I love hunting for uranium glass, and then from that, we found out about yooperlites. Thanks for the tips, we'd love to find one someday!
Hey Erik it was a pleasure to meet you at the Tucson Gem Show 2020, we met at the booth you had at Kino's complex. My wife has the pink hair color. THANKS for the educational content, Yooperlite is truly awesome!
Great video for beginner Yooperlite hunting! I learned about Yooperlite last year and have been wanting to learn more about it, but more specifically how and where to find it. This video helped a bunch! Thanks! I counted 15 by the way!
Loved this video and it helped big time and a lot of great information. I was in Grand Marias a couple of weekends ago and found some yooperlites. Thankfully a friend of mine had the convoy flashlight which definitely helped. But knowing they aren't solely in Lake Superior is also awesome. Thank You!
Eric, great informative video! We just got back from our Yooperlite trip! Had a great time and found a real nice one. Thanks for your discovery of these beauties! We gave you a shootout in our video!Already planning our next trip! Thank you again from a fellow Michigander! 😊👋🏼
I love this. I recently moved to Brimley from Arizona and I met someone at work named Jason. I think you know him Eric ….. he told all about this very interesting stone. Thank you for producing this video. I’ll be going to visit you at your shop.
Was nice to meet you Erik. We found probably 10 stones between two different beaches despite other folks being there as well. It was a fun experience and are going to share our finds with the nephews and a some family members. We live closer to Lake Erie, so maybe we'll take them there or something whenever they visit. We used lighthouses as referende points in the places we were, so the glowstick for other areas is probably a good idea. Lots of folks on the beach asked us about the lights we had so we told them about your site. We noticed a very significant difference compared to what other folks were using. We found a lot of rocks though which were a dull blue and dull orange which we didn't think were yooperlite. The orange didn't glow as bright as the ones we knew were yooperlight. Also we ran into a problem with another type of orange rock rubbing sediment onto other rocks and we were able to wipe the orange glow off with our finger. We were using the C8 light and it lit up everything that was orange lol
Erik - 2:40 "Alright. You might be wondering where can you find Yooperlites". It would be great if you could list which glaciation events Yooperlites occur in and show a map somewhere (maybe on you're website) that depicts the extent of these glaciations. I understand that some of them may be covered by other glacial events that don't contain Yooperlites but it would give me a good general idea. I've seen the same thing done for Lake Superior agates. Thanks so much. You're awesome!
Awesome, very informative video. I would very much enjoy one of your tours. Just from your posts and videos I have a better idea what to look for, I've just grabbed some rocks that look like ones you've shown, lol, I have gotten lucky and found 4 so far in a few months not using light. I typically go hounding during the day, and go home and try my uv light on them. So, I would very much like to go on one of your tours and try my luck that way. I bet it's a lot of fun for everyone! Thank you for posting a very informative video!!!
Thank you! Nighttime with a Convoy C8 is a blast! If you can't make a tour the Convoy C8 packages are on sale $10 off until the end of March with code SPRINGTIME
I really wanted to subscribe, but you have 906 subscribers right now, and I just couldn't be the one to ruin it! 😅 Thanks for sharing! We're going back up this weekend, my son wants to find some of these!
Thank you Eric for sharing your knowledge and experiences, I live between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario so perhaps I'll purchase a light such as yours and give your technique a try , best regards from Lloyd way up here in Ontario Canada. And Happy New Year by the way.
I have always wanted to visit the shores of the Great Lakes, but not for Yooperlites, but for the great shapes of the rocks. Now i have a double reason to go...Thanks for this instructive video. PS! I will also do night time rock hounding here in the western states. Don't no if fluorescent rocks can be found here, but worth a try, will just have to move the rattlesnakes to the side. They like the early night.
Great video! Im in N.H. and in the mountains theres a place called the Polar Caves. They have those glowing rocks from the area. I wonder if there the same? Now i know what a yooperlight is!
Got my Yooperlite Convoy C8 light in the mail yesterday. Scanned some beach stones that I brought home earlier in the week for tumbling from Lake Michigan just north of Milwaukee WI and was surprised that I had one light up!
Hi Guys. Question. When you hunt for yupperlites at the dark, can you also use regular white light flashlight to brighten the surroundings or total darkness and only uv flashlight? Thanks I went yesterday to FishPoint are but it was super super dark....
I'm staying in a state campground on the west side of the UP and went yooperlite hunting last night for the first time. I found 4 teeny tiny ones no bigger than the tip of my pinky, but at least it's something. Watching your video though I realize I was moving way too fast, and my light is just a cheap one I got at Walmart on my way there.
Not in California, the glaciers did not go that direction, but there may be other minerals that fluoresce in California for you to find. Get a Convoy C8 and try the rocks where you live. You never know until you try!
Question. I've never even heard of Yooperlites until this week. I bought a jar of assorted stones at an antique store. I sat here admiring them while watching UA-cam. After seeing someone else describe these I shined an LED light on it. From 2 to about 7 inches the stone sat there and looked pretty. When I put the light behind it, it lit up in all its hot lava glory. My question is "Is this a Yooperlite or something different?" It's been less than a week but I'm hooked now on rock hunting. Thanks in advance!
I am on my way to a particular lighthouse 18 miles down a dirt road , right now as i type this ! I really appreciate the find ! And the video tips ! I also use power director !!! Peace maybe I will see you out there one day
I found my first one tonight, it is the size of about a nickel ! I have to say it was super exciting ! I walked that whole beach and only that one . However I did find alot of small pink stones kinda responsive, and alot of white stones that were responsive as well , everything looked purple or pink for the most part, but stood out from the rest ! I have alot to learn yet ! But thank you for the inspiration
The C8+ is a white light led light not a 365nm filtered uv light so it would not work for Yooperlites. Please visit www.yooperlites.com to get a proper light
@@yooperlites - I’m SO excited about this new hobby! I already am on the beach looking for beautiful driftwood that washes ashore. I’m getting a metal detector for Christmas- and just ordered a powerful U.V. light from Amazon. I’m never going to want to come home!😃 Thank you so much for introducing me to these! I’ll let you know how I do!
I was up in Grand Marais last w/e. Used the UVBeast 365nm 3 led light and it worked amazing! I found so many Charlevoix stones! Yooperlites were glowing from meters away with the light! Going to check out Paradise area next trip!
Sort of. But without a light impossible to be sure. Because Syenites (the main component of Yooperlites) are so common and most Syenites do not fluoresce. So the answer is no and yes.
Could you tell me where in IL. I could look for them .. I am in a small town in southeastern, mo. And I would love.to do a trip with the little rock club in our area!!
Anywhere on Lake MI in Illinois where there are rocks. I did well just North of Chicago. Use Google maps and look for rocky accessible beaches.. Good luckand watch my video Yooperlite Hunting 101!!!!
Yes I have. I just used Google Maps and looked for rocky beaches. Harder to find on Lake Erie but they are there. You will need a Convoy C8 on Lake Erie and tge Yooperlites there will be small. Go slow and wait for dark. Convoy c8 is available at www.yooperlites.com

We have dove for tgem. Ricks get a coating of slime and dirt on them even in shallow water. The source is in Canada. I went on 3 expeditions with Lake Superior State University to the source.
