I can tell you for a fact that they do. I get that comment all the time. I don't mean to frustrate you, but I just can't pick up every rock. I've thought about doing a livestream from a beach, but many beaches I go to don't have cell service and I don't think I'd get very far with everyone wanting me to pick up different rocks. I need to put more thought into where I could do that and how I could possibly keep up with all the comments.

That's a nice memory of your dad. Honestly, I didn't even look at the camping area, I spent all my time on the beach. I think Clovis said that the campground had been moved because the high water washed out the old one. I might have that slightly wrong, but it was something like that.

@priscillaross-fox9407 3 месяца назад

I found an Amethyst agate about 4 inches long many years ago. This was near the time they would be closing McLain for the winter. It was near dark and storming when we pulled into the park for our last camping session of the year. We had to put a tarp up to stop the strong winds in order to get the tent up. But the next morning, after coffee of course, I strayed to water's edge and was kind of shocked to see this just waiting for me to pick up! One never knows what the waves will wash in.

I’ve gotten some beautiful results with them, just don’t put them in with fancy rocks in case a pebble breaks free along the way; usually I cut/grind them on the saw into tumbler sized chunks and they stay together pretty well!)

@@given0fox968 I left that one on the beach, so I can't cut it to verify one way or the other. I just know from experience in cutting a lot of rocks that they usually look the same on the inside as the outside. There is something called a weathering rind on rocks though, where the outside can be a slightly different color due to oxidation, fading, iron staining, etc. It's not usually too dramatic, but it's noticeable.

I sure can, but it will be a long time from now. Rock tumbling takes me months. I also like to get them all done before I make a video because I take before and after pictures and it's easier to keep them straight if I do them all at once. I just got the last of last summer's rocks polished, so now I need to find time to spend several hours in the basement trying to take pictures in the same position as I photographed them when I started them.

Sam is the agate master for sure. For every 1 you find, he finds 12! 😂

I finally went to an eye doctor last week. I'll have real glasses soon and Sam had better watch out!

What type of camera do you use? I've been binge watching all of your videos lately. You do a great job making your videos. Thank you.

I use a GoPro for most shots, but an iPhone for close ups of small rocks. All the sound is from the GoPro though because I have a little external mic that sounds better, especially in wind.

@MichiganRocks thank you sir! Keep up the great work. Always looking forward to seeing your new videos.
