Sam and I walked for two or three miles at Calumet Waterworks Park in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula in search of the elusive Lake Superior agate. We found a few too!

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. If you buy using the following link, I make a small commission.

Love watching your weekly rock hunts, thank you for posting! I addition to your weekly rock hunts maybe at the end of each rock hunt video you could add a short clip of what you finished polishing this week? I would love to see (and I am sure many others would also) what rocks got the final polish for the week.
@MichiganRocks
@MichiganRocks Месяц назад
I used to do weekly videos just showing a box of rocks that I had polished. They were not super popular, so I started making RU-vid Shorts as my second video of the week instead. I do have some finished Michigan rocks that I need to get pictures of and make a couple of those videos with before and after pictures. Your idea of putting my weekly tumbles at the end of a beach video is interesting, but I'm not sure it's a good idea. For one thing, the rocks at the end wouldn't be related to the rocks from the beach. Also, I think that the people who watch beach videos may not be the same people who watch tumbling videos. For those reasons, I think it's probably better to keep them separate. If you want to see my tumbled rocks from last summer, pray for rainy weather. That will get me down to the basement for a few hours to take pictures. Otherwise, I have a hard time pulling myself inside during our short summers.

Hi Mark. I watched a video from Dustin Finds Rocks last year about that place (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m7AOMhSx13Y.html) . Looks like fun. I took two big trips last year to make videos. I was hoping to be able to do that once in awhile and pay for the trips with my videos. The first one was last May to Montana and I came out a couple hundred dollars ahead after about ten days on the road. I had a ball and basically breaking even was completely acceptable. Tehn I went to Tennessee/Georgia/North Carolina in January. I stayed at a friend's house the whole time except for one night, but even with free housing, I came out a couple hundred dollars behind on the trip. My videos from out of Michigan just haven't been very popular. I'd be fine with spending a little money, except that I make these trips without my wife and feel kind of guilty about leaving her home alone the whole time I'm gone. I'm not ruling out more trips, but after trying it out, I'm a little more hesitant about it. Thanks for suggesting Haunted Ridge. It's already on my list of possibilities.

Thank you so much for another wonderful video.
@MichiganRocks

That's a geology question that I think I can answer. Epidote is a mineral. Unakite is a rock made partially of epidote. It also includes feldspar and sometimes quartz. Epidote is green. Unakite is green and either red, orange, or pink.

Nope, I use a GoPro for a lot of shots, but for very small rocks I use my iPhone. I did use a new app for this trip that was sort of a disaster. I don't know why, but none of the iPhone clips from this whole trip had sound. Fortunately I also use my GoPro to capture sound when using my iPhone because it sounds better in wind. Anyhow, maybe that was part of the problem. Needless to say, I'm going back to my old app. As Rachel said, it was a really cloudy that day, so that might have been part of the problem too.

Thanks for another delightful rock hunt. Though I know you probably already have more rocks than you have time to tumble, I'm surprised (and slightly disappointed) that you tossed back so many potentially beautiful (non-agate) finds as you frequently do on these excursions. So I'm curious and would appreciate hearing about how you consider your catch or release choices. If you've already shared such, please point me there as I haven't yet quite managed to go through your entire video catalog.

I get a lot of comments about how many I throw back. I still have a couple stubborn rocks tumbling from last summer's finds. I have also been on a couple trips over the winter and have purchased some rocks lately, so I'm really overstocked on tumbling material. As I have collected more rocks over the years, I have become more selective about what I bring home, but this year I'm really trying to limit what I bring home so I can get caught up on the backlog.

How your thought process compares to mine regarding what to keep is what I wonder about. I suspect it's quite similar in taking into account what you already have, how different or spectacular you envision the polished result might be, what uses you might put it to, who might want it, and the like. It's if you have some particular and or peculiar criteria that I'm most curious about.

@joeljeffery8704 It's illegal to pick up driftwood on Great Lakes beaches? Do you mean on National Lakeshores, or just anywhere? I have never heard that and I can't imagine why it would be illegal. Maybe you were just kidding, sometimes it's hard to tell from just text.

Fun video. I can’t seem to get to the Keeweenaw in conditions like that. Superior has been angry when I’ve been there.

It was windy most of the time we were there. Fortunately, it's a peninsula, so we chose the leeward side of the Peninsula. The wind was blowing in opposite directions from one day to the next, so we were able to get to beaches on both sides.
