A November Rock Hunt on Lake Huron

I found some pretty fun rocks on this hunt, including a couple too big to haul home.

Some of the rocks I found:
Petoskey stone
puddingstone
gowganda tillite
cladopora
granite
quartz/quartzite
unidentified conglomerate rock

– 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.

This is the cabbing machine I use:

– THE ROCK SHED –
I buy a lot of lapidary supplies from The Rock Shed. I don't make money from your purchases there, but they have good prices and good service. This is where I buy my finer grits and polish.

I also have an Amazon storefront. This is where you can find other products you may have seen in my videos. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. It doesn't cost you extra.

I for one commend Rob for his discipline when choosing which stones to take home. For us rockhounds that go out often the inventory can build up and before you know it you're swimming in rocks at home and the spouse is yelling at you. Rob knows what he's doing.
All that being circle rock at 17:15 was 1970's groovy.

I cant believe you put the one with circles back! That was a really cool stone. Your will power is stronger than mine! I really loved the purple and yellowish stone. I think that was my favorite of the night. Thanks for taking us along on your hunt.

I could watch these videos for hours. Please add more!!! How about a video that shows us what all those more common rocks are. Even if those aren't ones to take home I'd love to know what kind they are. Thank you so much for making these videos!

[markhosbach]

So much treasure left behind! I would love to have any of those in my garden. You need a little remote control barge to follow along as you hunt. Just toss all the beauties in there, unload back at the car. Anyhow, your beach combing rock hunts are my favorite posts. Don't stop making them.

One of the very best videos yet !!! I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you so much. I enjoy your channel a lot.

[sarejen]

Some very nice finds even those left on the beach for others to find. Thank you for taking us along, love the drone views too!

[joycee]

Yes, I really liked the mudstone too.
Thanks for taking us on your journey. With everything going on in the country right now I found this very soothing!

[MrALCHEMIST]

So soothing to see the diverse set of rocks and hear the sounds of water, all the way from Michigan :)
Thank you for sharing.

Wow, what a great walk that was. The candy store was certainly open. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Rob
Nice to be on your rock trip. Always love the rocks and your info on various ones. Keep up the great work.

So happy I stumbled upon this channel! This reminds me of camping at Pictured Rocks as a kid and wanting to bring home every rock and pebble. Also my grandparents' UP property was lined with tons (probably literally) of rocks my grandpa collected. I love hearing the names of all the stones. I think I'll subscribe and maybe I'll learn something 😁 or at least relive my childhood vicariously through you!

Rob: “Apparently granite has feelings too.” Funny!

[diannpowell]

The stone with all the fossil packed in it was outstanding! And the small green one was equally cool looking. I really enjoy your videos and that you keep the sound of the waves in. Thank you for showing us!

[jimknarr]

These are my favorite videos. Arial shots with beach hunts. The tree colors are beautiful. Just awesome scenery.

Have you ever heard that, beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Or whatever the rockhound keeps. The rocks you take are something more to your own taste and rocks that you find amazing. I see comments on just about every rocks you pick up and show, are rocks that you should of kept, but your the one out there doing all that searching in the cold water no less! I can't get enough of them, I could spend hours out there just looking at rocks!

Excellent video! Fantastic beach gems, crystal clear water, blue sky, what a fantastic beach!

[jayneevans]

Thank you for your videos, they get watched over and over to get through this pandemic. I love Lake Huron and have found some treasures on the Canadian side but no petosky stones. So, when it is safe, I will be paying a visit to your side (hope my car can survive the load I will be bringing home!)

[mackeralmiller]

Really enjoyed this beach hunt. Felt like I was along on it. The mudstone was lovely and your wife is right about showing the granite. Thank you.
