In this video, I hunt for puddingstones and Petoskey stones on Lake Huron in the northeastern lower peninsula of Michigan. I'll show you the biggest and best puddingstone I've ever found. I found some really nice Petoskey stones too.

- KINGSLEY NORTH -
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.

I love these videos and those landscapes in a way I cannot put in words. The peace, the solitude and the beauty: it must be almost a spiritual experience... Plus I'm a rock/mineral lover so this is the perfect combo. I've never had the chance to visit USA unfortunately, but I wish I could be there, seeing those places, walking those shores and collecting pudding stones and Petoskey stones. Even just for once...

@@MichiganRocks North Eastern Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Well that eliminates the western side of the bridge, but it could be from the eastern side of the Mackinaw Bridge to Alpena. or even as far south as Tawas City. But then of course it would be any wheres north of Detroit if you were starting there. Any hint as to exactly where your hunting rocks? Do you have a rock shop? if so where? And to everyone else, we invite you-al to come on up to Michigan, we would love to have you visit.

I'm sorry I missed this message. It went into my RU-vid spam folder, which doesn't show up on my iPad. I just saw it here on my computer. I don't have a rock shop. This is the only place I haven't given a location for because it's not near any public beaches. I have permission from landowners in the area. I don't want to tell the whole internet where it is and then have people trespassing to get there. Puddingstones should be able to be found in any of the places you mentioned. They're more abundant the closer you get to Drummond Island. There's a northern limit to Petoskey stones though. I'm not sure what it is, but they do not occur as far north as Mackinaw City. I think Harbor Springs is about the northern limit on Lake Michigan. There are some good Facebook groups that occasional give information about good beaches to hunt.

Gwynn Farrell no, I don’t remember the temperature, but if I had to guess, I’d say in the seventies. The lake does affect the temperatures near it.

@MichiganRocks
@MichiganRocks Год назад
No, I don't guide kayak tours or rock hunts. You really don't need me for either of those things. Just find a public beach access and go for it. The problem with kayaking is that you need pretty calm water to do it. Since I live near Lake Huron, I can just keep an eye on the weather and go when it's calm. That's harder to do if you're planning a vacation around it. If you can make a quick day trip, it's not so bad. I fully support being obsessed with my channel, by the way.

Michigan Rocks “Gay” should be “Day” in the message. Since the rock is underwater in navigable water, it would be covered by Federal Codes. Is it in a park? If not, probably up to the size of something like 240 pounds could be harvested. That would be fun to research. I don’t subscribe to a service that covers those federal codes, so it could be expensive to research. Geographically I am thousands of miles away and this is never going to happen, but it’s not hard to imagine a sling under a pontoon boat. Think Glomar explorer. Get it to a boat ramp and back a boat trailer under it. Then you finally pull it up out of the water.

I'm not sure which rocks you're looking at, but I don't remember seeing any rocks around this area that are turquoise. Green rocks of any shade are not very common on this beach.

Beautiful there & Nice n peaceful. Whoo hoo! Whaaat a find...imagine that pudding stone all slabbed up..nice table top! Does it polish up well?
@MichiganRocks
@MichiganRocks 5 лет назад
You could spill stuff on it and never notice it either! It polishes pretty well. The white part always ends up with little pits when I tumble it. But if I do it with a grinder, it comes out pretty smooth.

The rocky beach is really nice. Reminds me of areas in the Puget Sound. Is that indicative of most of the upper peninsula and northern coast in Michigan?
@MichiganRocks
@MichiganRocks 5 лет назад
This beach just has small rocks up to about the size of this big puddingstone. In the U.P. there are much rockier beaches, where the rocks are part of the bedrock jutting up from the ground, not individual rounded rocks. There are other beaches that are just flat and sandy. There's quite a variety.

Is that a goal for you or me? I have already polished lots of puddingstones, but I didn't have much luck tumbling gowganda tillite so I don't pick them up anymore. I have a friend who successfully tumbles them, so I might have to try again.

I do love puddingstone. I think the only semiprecious stone in it is red jasper. I have heard people say that it can contain gold and diamonds, but I'm not sure that's true. I geologist that I respect said that it's a different conglomerate that can contain those things.
