    Hi again TAYLOR
    Good to see you out on another adventure. You found a beautiful spot to go in the water! A bit surprised to see such a thick cover of rock. Underwater the way to go because it would take a very long time if ever for some of those to wash ashore. You showed a galaxy stone a while back that was the most beautiful one ever! You've gotten me excited about them now and I hope sometime I could have one so gorgeous...
    Hope your wife is doing well and the baby will make an exit soon!
    Thx as always for sharing. See ya again soon!

    The brecciated one with the quartz looks like a sheared serpentenite that broke off from the resulting quartz vein to make this cobble. Looks like pretty rapid crystal growth occurred many times, so there were probably many phases of crystal growth as the host either ascended (more likely) or descended (also possible, but less likely). That was a neat one for sure!

    Hi Taylor,
    I just wanted to thank you for sharing your experience and adventures with us all. I wa never interested, nor did I know anything of rock hounding before I stumbled upon your channel. I watched several of your videos and became quite inspired to get out in nature and hunt down some beautiful agates. It has been so much fun, and nothing compares to that feeling of finding a beautiful piece. Through you, I have found a new hobby and even my better half and my children have taken interest. Thanks again for all the amazing content you share. I look forward to each new video. Have a blessed day and good luck on your next hunt.

    Those are some awesome finds, the banded quartz is my favorite also the galaxy stones. I have several possible galaxy stores that I need to get cut and one that is bigger then a football. The water temperature of lake Superior is dependent on the winds an onshore wind blows the warm to the shore but if the wind is to strong it will bring cold water in and offshore wind blows the warm water out. Keep up the great videos I enjoy watching them. Stay safe the big lake is unforgiving.

    There is a real element of surprise when you cut a rock.
    Has your percentage of good finds gotten better through experience ?
    Do you have plans to create items using rocks and driftwood from the lake to sell on Etsy or your own store?
    Cheers,

      They have, but summer makes it harder because everyone is going out, and I go to new spots and many of them haven't yielded good results.
