34 Cool Rocks From The Keweenaw Peninsula
I decided to make something completely different than I ever have before. Here are all the highlights from 4 different rockhounding locations in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
This is the first of many videos on a 3,500 mile road trip doing almost the full Lake Superior Circle Tour.
The rock beaches of Lake Superior were especially kind to me, giving me sunshine and 80 degree weather to record this in early Autumn at some of my favorite rockhounding spots.
I've also developed my own website for the first time, which will slowly catch up to the channel to contain summaries and location data of places I've visited over the years.
LOCATION INFORMATION:
Spot 1: thirdplanetrocks.com/michigan-great-sand-bay
Spot 2: thirdplanetrocks.com/michigan-gratiot-river
Spot 2 (there were actually 2 adjacent spots I recorded at): thirdplanetrocks.com/michigan-black-creek
Spot 3: thirdplanetrocks.com/michigan-mclain-state-park

    Looking at the pile of agates it looked like mostly low grade agate that he didn't want so he was just throwing it back into the lake, I saw a few with good banding I'd have picked out.

    You are making two possible fatal mistakes. First wear high top boots and second carry a stick at least 3 or four feet long. Rattlesnakes are everywhere all year long. Use the stick to touch the area you are reaching before you stick your hand on any item. In mid winter when sun is out and heats up the rocks they will sometimes come out to absorb the heat in small crevices.

    That "dead end" at the end of the road is my favorite place in the area. The hill you pass on the right before you hit the succor creek crossing has great blue with white banded agate float. There are some dark blue almost purple seams of clear chalcedony in the ground in some spots, there is also chalcedony/jasper seams 3ft wide at points if you follow the fault line up the hill, and an outcrop of dense chalcedony/quartz laden andesite on the north side of the top of the hill. There is a claim marker on the lower hill with a phone number you can call to get permission to dig on it. There is a little triangle split in the road before the area you stopped in initially, if you go left instead of right it takes you into a few areas that have very nice "classic" graveyard point plume agate. The best spots in that area have claim markers (T23S R46E Sec. 25), but there is plenty of good float on the road that goes through it. The Gem Shop Inc. also has their Beverly Marie claim in the area, I haven't found their claim marker yet or seen them working.
