Fun too and I'll have to share some photos we found a wonderful River on our Fall Ore Coast Trip with huge glacial gravel bars. I picked about 25lbs of rock. Tumbler, cutting and garden rock. Some I'm not quite sure about but lots of color and variety. Thanks as always Margie.

      Thanks for sharing my video, Margie. I did a video with them last summer on Lake Huron and it was my most popular video of the year. Paul and Nat are great teachers and really nice people.

    Wonderful timing! I just got back from a trip to Michigan where I hounded on lakes Michigan, Huron, and Superior and I have several rocks in my buckets that I'm unsure about. Thank you for all of your informative posts, they are what inspired me to start learning about rocks and geology and not just picking up pretty rocks. I can't wait to sort and start tumbling my new material. 😊

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  Рік тому

      That's what I like about this hobby, you get to play with the rocks twice, once while collecting and again when you tumble them.

    Thank you Paul and Nat for the beach geology lesson! The way everything got scattered around by glaciers sure makes things more interesting. Last time I was in the eastern UP I was surprised to find a number coral and stromatoporoid fossils. Good to know they came from farther up north. Paul, congrats on the book, I think I’ll check it out!

    I'm planning a trip up your way, and am excited about the rock hunting aspect. I'm learning a lot, and even recognize some rocks I've found in Maine and here in Maryland (mostly Chesapeake Bay). 29:48 the schist is what I have a lot of in my backyard in north central Maryland. There's so much mica, the anthills glitter gold in the sun. 😊 I wish I had geologist friends to walk along the Chesapeake Bay with me! This is so cool!
