- Hello everyone,
I'm excited to be getting at my first batch of rocks from the mystery bucket of Michigan rocks.
Link below 👇 to video of where I got them.

I'm cutting some small Lightning Stones in this video.
Not everything can be as you hope, but anything can surprise you.
I'm thankful for AgateDad publishing a video within a few days of me publishing mine here, where he cut some big Septarian Nodules.

That video got me outside cutting mine. I loved the ones he cut and rather than be jealous, I thought "get out there and cut yours, you crazy fool 😀".
Now I'm ready to see what's next from the bucket. There's a lot of comments about the fossil soup rocks. Maybe I should polish some of those 🤔.
Thanks for watching.
Until next time, take care.
Fred
9 is by far my favorite one. Several were pretty sweet though including the last one you showed after the cuts.
9 was stellar. I'm looking forward to my next project with those two halves. Thanks bud.
Good job Fred !! I loved the little turtle shell one at the end. My favorite thing is to rockhound but cutting them is also so satisfying cause it’s like Christmas you never know what you’re going to find inside. Needless to say I have a lot of yard rocks that were not what I hoped they would be when cut open. But it’s all worth it when you get the rare OMG center. So fun watching you
@@Grandmasrockin Thanks, and I love that one also. Cutting them is the best part right after the initial find, and sometimes far better.
I've done fairly well overall with my cuts but I'm in Oregon...so many minerals here.
I'm happy you enjoyed ☺️
@@just-one-more-rock I’m in Western Washington I think I want to spend some time in Oregon. lol
@@Grandmasrockin Western Washington is wonderful for hounding. I think I may remember that you're northeast of Olympia and that area is hot. That said, there's lots of private property to navigate.
If you ever want to spend some energy getting down to around the Longview area then let me know. Maybe we do a hunt together. Friends always make things better.
Those rocks are so cool 😎 😍. Thanks for sharing! 🤘
@@patriciamilholand3585 I know, right.
If you like what I'm doing then you're stuck with me. I plan to keep content coming and just get better and better at what I'm doing. Only been 4 months since my first published video. Crazy ride.
@@just-one-more-rock Nice place to be stuck. I am enjoying your videos and can't wait to see more 😀
@@patriciamilholand3585 Yay...thanks so much. The more you all comment so kindly, the more motivated I am to do more.
Congratulations, Fred! That was pretty amazing to watch you cutting those open. I have to agree with others about #9. It is so full with a perfect pattern to the edges. And powerful color contrast. Several others also good. Thank you for sharing this with us❤
@@jimdutcher6678 Thanks so much. I don't know how that #9 compares to all the others the top UA-camrs are cutting but it feels like a top shelf rock to me.
It's so much my pleasure to share.
You all are so much more than just viewers. You're becoming part of my tribe...my family. Thanks for being a big part of that my guy.
@@just-one-more-rock I have seen some really nice septarians, but I do believe this one is perfection. Definitely a top shelf piece, brother
@@jimdutcher6678 Sweet. Now I'm questioning whether that should just be left alone as two polished halves or if I should do the project I was thinking. Hmmm...I'll have to ask a friend their opinion.
Number 9 was an oh m g!!!
9 is crazy. I love it as well. My mom looked at it and told me what she thought it looked like and that turned out to be a new project. I think it will be cool if I can pull it off.
Those are so cool. Do we have those kind of rocks here in the Northwest?
@@sherry2483 They are cool.
No I don't think we have anything like that here but I haven't ventured out enough away from my local area to really know. I guess as far as having calcite, we do have that and the only thing that I can relate to it here are Thundereggs. They can have calcite with little spires but I think the hardness of the rock doesn't allow for that kind of effect overall. The lightning stones are very soft material. So maybe the calcite easily flows through the host rock during formation. The host rock seems like a hard mud when cutting.
