As a now 62 year-old rock hound who has had a pocket full of rocks since about age 5, I so appreciate this simple pleasure and your boundless enthusiasm for nature. Having grown up near the lake in northern Indiana, this brings back lovely childhood memories. Except for the sunburns, lol. New subscriber.
Hit those rocks with the UV they are called yuppers. They light up. The big rock & the other one they look sort of speckled. They are known up they in the Great Lakes. Not sure which lake your at missed it.
@@WILDKYLE I lived 30 minutes from there for 38 years! Head a little north to the Fennville exit and hit Pier’s Cove for abundant lightening sones. I’m staying about 3 hours north of you on the lake celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary! Enjoy your time in Michigan!
I always want to head north to lake michigan i live on the border of michigan and wisconsin in a town called marinette. @susietincknellsmith65 happy anniversary!
Hey Kyle. Really like your philosophy about treating one another with respect and kindness. I'm 73 now but was once a professor of astronomy and geology and a curator at several museums and planetaria. Watch your channel quite often and enjoy all your explorations. I live in North Central Florida myself in the town of Interlochen so I'm not too far away from your locale. The septarian nodules you collect here are from the Cretaceous age and the best way to describe them are fossilized mud bubbles. They were old globules of mud that solidified and later cracked and filled with calcite and sometimes other minerals. Almost definitely Cretaceous in age. Keep digging exploring and enjoying this wonderful planet we walk across. Best wishes to you and all your viewers.
I just love hearing your excitement when you find your treasures, whether they be a rock, fossils, shark teeth, or an old bottle. Please dont ever change. Thank you for allowing us to experience your adventures with you! ❤
Thank you so much Sandra! I really do get excited over all of it. It's all so fun and beautiful! And I love that I get to share these adventures with y'all. Even when I'm alone for the day, I don't feel alone knowing I'm filming for y'all!
I really like those two larger very colorful conglomerate rocks. A lot going on with those two for sure. Lovely walk. I love listening and watching the waves. Time spent on a beach is never wasted!❤
I like your videos. Your unbridled joy of discovery is sweet. Besides that you are so cute! I love to see and hear your smiles. The creek marble hunt was fun, too! Carry on having fun, you delightful young man!
Kyle, another beautiful video adventure from a beautiful person. Not only fun rocks but also brilliant words of wisdom. You have no idea how enjoyable you and Chris and the ladies are! Please keep bringing us along. I do appreciate the cooler climes! And less scary critters!😅
Love the trip to the lake. I have spent my share of time in the shallow cold water of Lake Michigan with my head down. And I have the little piles of rocks to prove it.
I love the wind hitting the mic as the waves crashed, felt like I was walking there with you. Some beautiful stones, sounds like a cutting video with Paleo Cris? That is always fun. Think the world of you young one! Thank you for taking us with you!
That last one was amazing. Got got sent some of these in the mail from a viewer of Robs (Michigan Rocks). They are very cool and I can't wait to try and find some myself next year. It was nice seeing you on an adventure up North again.
my girlfriend and I watch your videos all the time and couldn’t believe you were hunting at our favorite beach. She works at the lodge and loved hearing you ate there. Hope you enjoy and hope to see you out there. Several spots I’d love to show you.
First time visiting any beach without shells for me. Look forward to seeing the stones after you cut them and polish them. I think visiting any body of water is very cathartic with the sights and sounds of the water and relaxed moods of people. You are correct in reminding everyone to just be kind! It doesn’t cost you anything.
You found some beauties! Loved your "Kyle Talks". Truer words were never spoken. Sometimes hard to achieve but best to try. On your green spotted rocks, I think Rob calls them Porphyry and/or Epidote. Either way I love the color and sprays. Thanks for taking us along.
We are having some kind weather this week. I'm southwest central Indiana. It was 56°F this morning.. Enjoy your early taste of autumn. beautiful rocks👩🏼🌾
I live in UK, we have the Barton clay bed where I was born and we get a grey version of this type of rock and I have noticed the big Septarian nodules all in a row in the clay bed cliff.
Fun video! You’re right about beach hunting and meeting the nicest people. I hunt for beach glass on Lake Erie and was gifted one of my favorite pieces from a sweet young woman walking the beach with her dad.
I’d say the last one at 26:00 was well worth taking your phone out for! I’ve been blessed with staying in a lake cabin right on northern Lake Michigan most of the summer- many times I’ve gone to bed, thinking I was staying on the ocean because the waves were so rough, big, loud or all of them together!
Love your thoughts on how gettijng out there is so wonderful for people ,How perfect it makes us feel finding joy in nature ,picking up these gorgeous rocks is amazingly good for the soul .Love all you videos Kyle thank you🏖🐎🐎🐎
A friend told me that dating rocks in Michigan can be complicated, because of the past glacier activity. I don't know, but i do know i injoy your channel. ROCK ON 🎸
Crazy how the Lake move the rocks from beach to beach. Pilgram Haven used to be rocky but down the road 5 minutes (at Deerlick Beach) is where they have moved too. That was true about 3 weeks ago. Maybe we will bump into you there!
It’s so cool that the lake is so big you can see the curve of the horizon. Those waves were basically throwing rocks at you. Kind of intimidating. Haha. Thank you for the adventure, noble sir.
🙋Hello Kyle! So good to see ya out and about. I really like the colorful stones you picked up. The speech!! Wow! Your Mom would b so proud to hear you tell everyone that. Your Mom was an amazing woman. Pick some up for her. 😊 I truely enjoy your videos and I pray God keeps you safe where ever you go and whatever you do. Missed Nat! Tell her hello. 🥰 Love you guys🥰🥰
The next time you're up this way and want to find lightning stones, go just up the lakeshore from this beach and hit up Deerlick Creek Park. It's a smaller park, but it's loaded. Look along the boulders that delineate the northern border of the park, and then go beyond the south border of the park. I was just there on Saturday and came home with 73 pounds of rocks.
I live about 45 minutes from Lake Michigan and go there as often as possible. My yard and apartment have incredible rocks everywhere. I'm enrolling at Glen oaks college to take a geology class so I know what all of these beautiful rocks are. I love your videos. Rock on!
Really appreciate you sharing your wise thoughts about the positive interactions with people and the value of making those connections and finding a mindset to let go of things that might cause conflict. Are those lightning stones difficult to polish, with the surfaces being so cracked and irregular and the different hardness of the calcite?
Most of them polish up quite nice in a tumbler (vibratory tumblers with ceramic beads allow them to keep their general shape. Whereas a rotary tumbler rounds them off). Sometimes the calcite tumbles a little quicker than the matrix stone, but they still come out quite stunning. I like to halve them on my trim saw and polish the faces on my 6" flat lap. Overall they turn out pretty well in most methods of polishing.
I have been a rock hunter most of my life 74 years young,I have boxes of rocks I wish i could find someone to take them. Also I love your videos because I love old bottles also ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That makes me sad. I knew right away where you were at but I haven't been able to get there yet this year. I have tons of pictures of my boys packing their pockets with lightening stones from there. Can't believe it's all sand now... I know of another secret beach but idk how to tell you about it without telling everyone lol. Love it when you're on my home turf.
While I was on the beach someone told me that it tends to get sandy when there's a north wind, which there was this day. So I think it just changes from day to day depending on the wind direction and wave action. I'm all for checking out other locations! Feel free to send an email to me at the.wild.kyle@outlook.com
12:50 I enjoy getting out and hunting for crystals and fossils and such all the time. I do it several times a week.😊 it's fun being out there nature no music no internet you just there in the moment enjoying it looking for your crystals or fossils or rocks or whatever. Enjoying the Earth for all its beauty and gifts it has to offer. 😊❤🎉⛏️💎🙂
We were there last year in May. There is a paved walkway down from the parking lot, which enabled me to get close to the beach with my wheelchair. We didn't find very many, but it was really crowded (it was Mother's Day). Nice park. Glad you came up to Michigan Kyle, away from that heat.
WILD KYLE! It’s been forever since you last video. An entire day or two. lol! The background noises are so relaxing. 11:19 I’m thinking this rock will look amazing in a UV light. It is my favorite rock so far. Although, I love everything you find. I’m in Scranton Pa the temp is going down to 47* tonight. Last night it felt like 44. It’s so unusual in August. I’m freezing in August. lol!
I have to stay away from rock hunting 😭 otherwise I could build a house!! Haha Also bumping into people doing things we love we can learn from each other.

Admire your knowledge and enthusiasm. I've watched many of your fossil hunts in the streams in Florida.
I agree as a 62-year-old rock hound myself!
Hit those rocks with the UV they are called yuppers. They light up. The big rock & the other one they look sort of speckled. They are known up they in the Great Lakes. Not sure which lake your at missed it.
Hearing the wind and waves is a big part of experiencing Lake Michigan!

You took time out to talk to us ....your soul shines, especially when u smile. Thanks for taking us with u ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The' brick' one is red jasper looks stunning ❤
I live on jasper and have only 1 jasper in my collection!
My blood pressure dropped about 20 points just listening to to the waves and rock hunting with you. Never change Kyle, you are amazing!
You are so right. Be kind to one another ❤️
Kyle I absolutely adore you and your friends! Keep being you!
Kyle, I enjoy your gentle sweet spirit. And I agree with you, KINDNESS is everything. ❤

There's no other place quite like Lake Michigan. Fortunately it's just a hop, skip and jump from me. Thank you for sharing it with everyone. ✌❤

I feel blessed to see you rock finders in action, the green speckled rock is gorgeous. Blessings to you all from England. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🦅🦋🐝🐞🐦
Looking forward to seeing the cutting and polishing of the lightning stones! Keep posting these videos!!

I Love Rocks So Much History And Their Meaning, Great Finds!
There is something magical about the sound of waves and how it calms and relaxes the mind.
I love the wind hitting the mic as the waves crashed, felt like I was walking there with you. Some beautiful stones, sounds like a cutting video with Paleo Cris? That is always fun. Think the world of you young one! Thank you for taking us with you!
Even the ones you don’t pick up are beautiful,blues and reds
You are so sweet Kyle, the smile on your face said allot about getting together and being human. Thank you❤🌀🌀🌀❣️
That last one was amazing. Got got sent some of these in the mail from a viewer of Robs (Michigan Rocks). They are very cool and I can't wait to try and find some myself next year. It was nice seeing you on an adventure up North again.
Lovely lightening stones, Kyle, and those waves are very powerful. I love that sound!❤

Beautiful words spoken with your moment to us❤so special and important to remember this real life😍Thanks Kyle!

Love rock hunting with Wild Kyle! Let’s go!
@@justjoy4239 Yes!
Loved that stone that had the light green spots all over!!!👍
Ooh, I love that green and yellow spotted one. Very nice find. Kinda looks like flowers.
Right on brotha, I have a few vacations in mind just because of your videos.
I live in UK, we have the Barton clay bed where I was born and we get a grey version of this type of rock and I have noticed the big Septarian nodules all in a row in the clay bed cliff.

Lived in Michigan ALL MY LIFE, and NOT ONCE have I ever been to Lake Michigan. 😫

Get there!

I enjoyed the rock hunting today.
Sort of like back to basics.👍🇺🇸
So glad you enjoyed your day. Nice finds. Rock on!
Thank you!
😊 REALLY GOOD SHOW --- THANX FOR SHARING 😊
Your musing around the 13 minute mark is a nice start to a new 'Kyle' song.
Great finds. Thanks for sharing
Thought you might have your sister with you since you were in Michigan! Another great video, thanks Kyle look forward to the next!
I'll have her with me in Alpena soon! She had to work this day sadly.
That last stone was a beauty! Hope you and your sister are doing good, I think of your mom occasionally, esp when you're up in Mich. :-)
Crazy how the Lake move the rocks from beach to beach. Pilgram Haven used to be rocky but down the road 5 minutes (at Deerlick Beach) is where they have moved too. That was true about 3 weeks ago. Maybe we will bump into you there!
It is wild how much things get moved around! I've not been to Deerlick yet but I definitely need to go check it out!
Red jasper at 5:00 minutes Kyle. Nice piece too! Looks like porphyry at 11:26.
It’s so cool that the lake is so big you can see the curve of the horizon. Those waves were basically throwing rocks at you. Kind of intimidating. Haha.
Thank you for the adventure, noble sir.
good beaching fun time👍
I would be in heaven..i need t make a roadtrip🚗

How cool I found this video! I have collected rocks from Lake Michigan rather recently! Now I know what my picture stones are!!!
There are a ton of beautiful rocks in the great lakes!! Have fun.
Gosh I miss it so much up there!
It looks and sounds like the ocean. How wonderful!
Great video, interesting rocks and i love your southern accent!
6:13 The teal in that rock is probably copper... You definitely found some nice lighting stones.
Cool rocks, like the ones with the fossils in them
Dan Hurd has a video about those greenish rocks
First time I've seen your video, I enjoyed!!! Thanks
Fun video Kyle! Thanks for taking us along with you. I bet Natalie would have found even more... LOL :)
And I think the pretty green roc!k you liked was epidote.
Be kind💜💜💜
Love you Kyle!!! We will meet one day and go a-hunting with the gang!💜💜💜
Love you too Dana! Thank you! :)
Fun video, Kyle. ❤ i can't wait for when you cut and polish them . I love Lake Michigan.

Are those lightning stones difficult to polish, with the surfaces being so cracked and irregular and the different hardness of the calcite?

West coast of Michigan is great fun..From Holland to Traverse City is interesting to explore..
I was at Lake Michigan that day in Benton Harbor! The wind was crazy but Lake Michigan is the best!!
Hello from Traverse City Michigan ! Fun Times !
When I heard lightning in the stones from the title. I thought you were talking about fulgurites.
I’m from Michigan. Living in central Florida. SO jealous of your rock hounding!!
I have been a rock hunter most of my life 74 years young,I have boxes of rocks I wish i could find someone to take them. Also I love your videos because I love old bottles also ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the beach at pier cove to find these rocks. I was just there on Saturday 💜
👊 Thanks brother!!
I have lived in the great lakes region and it is almost always kinda windy.
That makes me sad. I knew right away where you were at but I haven't been able to get there yet this year. I have tons of pictures of my boys packing their pockets with lightening stones from there.

Looks like Sturgeon Bay. Nice spot
Those little quartz tops would look nice in a Christmas Village🤶
Hi Kyle! I've found rocks like those on SW Florida beaches. Are these similar to your Michigan rocks?
I have to stay away from rock hunting 😭 otherwise I could build a house!! Haha
Also bumping into people doing things we love we can learn from each other.
