      Yes, I definitely would. I would love to get up to the North Shore to rock hound as well day/night. But, I'll have to wait until after my trucks fixed and I reinstate my license. Love your videos and so do my girls. I started them early on rock hounding. Have a blessed year!!!🤗🙏🏻🤠

      Try putting lights in ziplock bags so that their submerged but floating on the top of the water. Lights up a lot more and looks really neat!

    That's the hardest part for me, to leave or put a rock back 😅. I don't know how you guys do it. An by golly I got 958...and a half buckets of rocks in my garage to prove it😂
    There's treasures out there to be found ROCK ON 🎉

    taylor...im watching rock hound on the lakes and your bucket keeps running away easy solution...get a coil like a telephone cord they sell them at walmart in the craft section... and get carbine clips to hook onto you and the bucket handle that way your hands free to pick up and film..you could also can get those pool foam things and attach that onto the bucket side , to hold mr scoopy. easy to push in and pull out and not lose him;];];] all water proof too;];];];];] you can get a tube of foam glue to attach it like silicone .. it will def hold.. just press in tight against the bucket and let cure. done;];];] love your channel;];];] you have the coolest stuff . from maine;];]

    7:08 The winner of the night. The rare ones like that make the trips worth it. I've yet to find one like that on North Shore. I will be very happy when I finally find one. After watching I probably won't try to night hunt unless for yooperlites. I do like those flashlights.

  • @diannetober3889

    I had a prior plan for this morning, so I didn't watch until later. I have a bird, a conure named Itty (short for Itty Bitty) and she was mimicking your laugh when we were watching together. You are the only person she has mimicked, bedside me. She knows a good laugh when she hears one!😂😂😂

  • @GailSchneider-lj6wn
    @GailSchneider-lj6wn วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    At first I thought maybe darkness helped find a particular type of rock (yoopers, UV light sensitive, etc). But I'm guessing it's because at this time of year in Northern Minnesota, darkness comes really early. It was fun - felt sort of mysterious about what rocks you found to examine in the light!

  • @E.o.t.4637

    Wonderful video! I might have a helpful recommendation Taylor, maybe you could tie a cord to the handle of your plexiglass box and tie it to your wrist or gear etc. that way it wont float away as you are focusing in on your finds! Love your videos.

    Put some type of a rope in the box handle and around your wrist so the box does not get away from you. We dont want you to loose it or have you drown trying to get it. I have wanted to get a piece of jasper.. Really enjoyed the night hunt. I have an amethyst abd a polished blue and gray agate from your collections.

    I’d love to see more nighttime rock hounding! Does your flashlight have a UV setting? You could go hunting for Yooperlites! I suppose if you found any in Minnesota, they would have to be called fluorescent sodalite, but you could come to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to look for them!
