- Today, we ventured up to some beaches up the North Shore outside of Beaver Bay, MN which is only a short distance from our great city of Duluth! Today was yet another beautiful and sunny afternoon on these late October days where I was lucky to find lots of beautiful stones and agates along the way and excited to share my finds with you today!
Thanks for checking out the video and would appreciate any support in joining the channel and I look forward to seeing and hearing from you all throughout this adventure!
Thank you for watching :)
10:38 That is a winner. I'm going stop there sometime next month or so to take a peek. I heard its like a private beach but people can still pick there. I mean I've seen cars parked by the trail often to go down there right past the way side rest past the Beaver Bay Rock Shop. I'm thinking no one would throw you off the beach. I like the quality of agate you have found there.
Love that excitement! Thank for another video and for showing where you picked these up at.
You are welcome! :)
I’m headed to Tettegouche State Park this summer which is just up the road from Beaver Bay, I believe. I think I will try and explore this beach while we are there. Thanks for the info and video!
I wish you the best of luck, Josh! Lots of good beaches in that area to explore, including the Beaver Bay one!
You definitely found some beauties on this trip! The bands on the last one you found are incredible. The red blobby rock you found is called a brecciated rock. A brecciated rock is a rock that broke apart and was essentially "glued" back together by another mineral seeping or running in and around all of the pieces and then hardening and holding them back together with thin or sometimes wide lines between the pieces of the original rock. A conglomerate (looks a lot like a chunk of sidewalk or pavement) is made the same way, but the little pieces aren't from the same rock that had broken apart, it's a bunch of different kinds and colors of rocks being held together. I've heard many people refer to conglomerates as Mother Nature's concrete. So it's probably either a brecciated jasper or a brecciated rhyolite. I couldn't quite tell what it was. Great finds and an awesome trip out. Thanks for sharing!✌️🤠🤘
Kyle, thank you so much for that wonderful information! I will have to do some further digging on both of these types of rocks, but you explained them very well and I will now know for future vids and hunts. :)
I love that beach! I’ve picked it several times and I always find some.Did you stop in at the agate museum while you were there?
Such a wonderful spot! Sadly enough, I have never stopped in to that museum before but it is on the list for one day!
