    Dont let those homeowners boss you around at that first huron beach, you have the legal power to navigate the beach up to the high water line on the great lakes... I was there recently at that point and those people are aggressive with the no trespassing signs and their intimidation about you being in the wrong... Just ignore them and keep on walking, they can do nothing about it...

      Thanks for the info. I was at that roadside park this morning and did not go beyond the private property sign even though I was knee-deep in the water. I'm from out of state and not familiar with the water property laws in Michigan. Will be heading back to that area in a day or two, maybe I can experience a meet and greet.

      A ridiculous amount of rocks are just the ones you had to hide at the beach..., to go back to get on another day..., because you ran out of tote bags to carry them in..., and you had to go back and forth up the beach..., as you leap-frog carrying 2 of the 6 bags at a time towards your car..., as you were running out of dusklight..., and couldn't see one foot in front of the other anymore..., and had to get out your phone to use as a flashlight..., to navigate a difficult tree-root-exposed footpath... going uphill both ways..., and the mosquitoes started eating you alive!! Thank God I've only done that half a dozen times in the past few years!!
      (OK, OK!! You caught me stretching the truth just a bit. It was only uphill one way. BUT, it was the way BACK to the car when I was loaded down with all those rocks!!)

For the questions you asked your first question I would pick Rock #5 or 5 and you didn't even have a 6 but I loved the rock you found after 5 as well as 5!! As far as your second question I would think probably at least 200,000 putting Stone rocks!!! I am an absolute rockhound!! I live in Mesquite Nevada which is a very small community basically a Taurus town!! 90% of the properties are Condominiums!! I don't have a big backyard but thank goodness I have a big enough secluded backyard with a waterfall and stream running along my patio!! I have collected all kinds of rocks from the mountains around my area a lot of crystals, geodes just a lot of beautiful rocks!! I have decorated my whole area with Rocks Crystals geodes you name it I have it!! LOL sorry for the long comment but I could not help myself!! God bless!!

    back in the 50's (yes, I'm that old!) My family of five would go on a station wagon, road trip vacation with my grandparents to Colorado or California, to see an aunt or uncle and their family. My gramma couldn't leave a rock alone, and that was even back when you could pick up petrified wood. No-one but the driver had a floor to put their feet on, that was not full of rocks, pretty good-sized ones, too! She lined her garden beds with all of her rocks. I actually had some of her petrified wood, but lost track of it in a move or something. I still have a few of her rocks, wish i had more!

    I don't think there's many places in Michigan where you _can't_ find pudding stones. A few places have a black matrix, others have red or purple matrix. Texas actually has a lot of purple matrix pudding stones too. One benefit of being an otr truck driver is, I've rockhounded in 28 states this year alone. There's only 7 states I haven't hounded in. I'm planning on adding at least 5 of those to my 2023 goals list!😁

    The roadside pull offs are the best! Even if you just want to sit and relax. I get overwhelmed and excited too lol. I've been bugging Rob a lot because I am eager to get out of the house and up to MI (Ohio here), but car troubles. I'm sure he's sick of me by now lol. If you're ever in Ohio, I can find you all kinds of gorgeous granite and take you to Nether's Flint Farm. Seems most of the stuff I find is just various combinations of granite and quartz and more fossils than you can know what to do with. We seem to like the same kind of things to collect.
    And are you kidding??? Make your mom a gorgeous rock garden and slowly take a couple pieces at a time home with you lol. I'm a rock hoarder. You shouldn't listen to me.

    On your way back to Ga or Fla, have safe travels and the iconic gem mine of Hiddenite, NC where the largest emerald was found. Holler at ya boy and I'll meet you there. I hope your Mom is doing better.

    So my favorite tumbler is a Tumble Bee. It’s easy to use and a great price compared to other tumblers. You can get a double barrel to have 2 batches going at once for right at $100. Or you can just send me your rocks, I’ll tumble them and send them back. Then you only pay shipping 😊

    Hi Kyle! You have just reminded me of the beautiful rocks and stones up n down Lake Huron and along the northern Lake Michigan shoreline. Many of the large rocks - to say nothing of the small ones as well, are moved significant distances up and onto the beach each winter. The weather and wind typically crosses the lake from west to east, but it's not unusual to have strong winds and bad weather come in from the east for a day or more.
    So, during the times when very thick ice has been broken up from turbulence or warming temperatures, strong easterly winds will drive icebergs up onto each other at the shoreline. As the weight increases, strong winds will actually dredge out very large rocks and essentially, bulldoze them up onto the beaches. It's quite impressive to see piles of thick ice more than 10 or 15 feet high up and down long sections of the shoreline.
    And occasionally, we've seen ice flows moving across a couple hundred feet of land damaging cottages and houses. For all intents n purposes, the advancing ice flows across the beach and is driven by an irresistible force.

    The dark Rick with splotches is amigdalodal basalt. Can’t spell that lol. We walk that beach with the gorgeous gowganda tillite just about every day. We live near there and yes, it’s addictive 🤣It’s the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen! Love the video! Still praying for your Mom❤️

    Lake Erie in SW New York offers some great stones as well. Finding public shores is a challenge but creek inlets are the key to getting on in low water days.

    I'm torn between rock #1 and rock #5. But hey, that's always been my problem. I love rocks. 'Specially pretty ones. And you know how it is, most of 'm are pretty in some way.
    Thanks for sharing this trip with us. It is so pretty at the water.
    Prayers for you and your mom.
    God bless.
    Take care.
    And stay vigilant.

    Lortone QT-66 double barrel is *_very_* good value for money. Plus, with the amount of material you probably have to work with, it'd be nice to be able to do 12 lbs. at a time. You can also do 6 lb. batches at different grit levels.

    Kyle, you've inspired me to get a pair of rubber boots and take a good long lake walk on my next vacation! i'm spoiled by living so close to Lake Michigan in southern Wisconsin, and don't appreciate the wonders you can find! i will take a closer look at things i find now, so thank you! if you ever have a chance to head really north, i hope you get to Lake Superior and find some cool agates also! Happy Hunting : )
