Great to see you out on a sunny, beautiful day! Thank you for taking us along.❤️😃
If you see this tonight, go out and look for the aurora. Look to the north, put your phone camera on "night" mode, and hold it steady while it shoots. A bright pink wave just passed Massachusetts, then went green, then just bright. Hopefully another pink wave will pass thru. We didn't need the camera to see it - the sky was bright - but it enhanced it. Pretty cool. Hopefully there's more to come tonight. The moon's already set. At first, I was like, "Did we just have a city move in, to the north?"
I missed it. We talked about going out earlier in the day, but it was supposed to be cloudy and then we forgot about it. Several of our friends posted pictures, so we were disappointed that we didn't go out.
We had the southern Aurora Australis a few nights ago here in New Zealand.
The Aurora is normally seen further south in the Southern Hemisphere. It's very unusual to see it this far north.
@@10_rds_Fire_For_Effect Lucky you!
@@MichiganRocks
It formed over us. I watched it from a small "cloud" all the way to full, vivid, bright white, red, green, blue, pink, purple sky.
I have a picture that I took straight up into it. The picture appears to have an angel in it.

The FlintStones Fan Club of North America would like to extend a hardy handshake & a congratulations to Rob of the excellent TH-cam channel Michigan Rocks for locating the lost remnant and valuable artifact that INDEED is Fred’s
bowling ball 🎳 !!!!!!
I think the alley would have to be well waxed so he could slide the ball down, rather than roll it.
@@MichiganRocks Rob …. It’s had millions of years to erode …. Says our Barney Rubble lookalike !! 😜
Love the sounds of water slapping the rocks.
Everyone loves that. I'm sort of jealous of those waves. They get all the attention.
Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: Beautiful day... beautiful water... beautiful rocks! There is so much variety and color! Thanks, Rob, for a wonderful outing!
Love sound of the water
Oh my heart❤I love rocks❤they're all so beautiful
What a lovely walk in a beach ❤lots of beautifuk stones and the waves 😍👋🇫🇮
Very nice hunt to the beach.
I really enjoyed being part of it. I thank you for allowing us to join these trips to the beach.
nice finds.
A BIG thank you !! :)
You're welcome!
Wow, amazing, very beautiful rock
Wow, wow them rocks are absolutely gorgeous. I live in Michigan. I never knew Michigan had rocks like that along the water that is awesome.
Lots of great rocks here.
My idea of heaven!
I always love going on walks on the beach with you , especially a beach like that , always learn something , thanks .
There were a lot of unusual ones there that day.
Man! What a cool beach! I would have needed a wheelbarrow with a Chevy 350!
wow what an absolutely beautiful fun ahhhmazing lake playground you have access to😃😃😃.. the water is so clear and the rocks are fabulous!!! i’d be out there alll the time! great video!
I live in a great place.
1:40 made me think of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, it’s beautiful
That crossed my mind too.
Me too!
What a perfect video to watch when checking on my tumbler.
Just enjoyed a little rock hounding on lake Huron and then the aurora last night. Found some neat small fossils and even a little Petoskey tone. So fun!!!
We were thinking about going out to see the Northern Lights, but then Nancy looked at the weather report and thought it would be too cloudy. We might go out tonight.
It looked like a beautiful day on the beach for you. Another good rock hunt!
That was a really nice day. Nice weather and good rocks.
One of your best walks, for sure!
I found some unusual stuff that day.
@@MichiganRocks I got a geology degree from Univ of Tenn. because I love rocks. Grad school at TAMU structural geology. I love your channel because rocks. The textures you're showing are amazing. Would be much improved by better optics or transfer baud rate maybe?
@@sbeckwit Maybe. I've looked at better cameras several times, but have never been able to decide on one. I mostly use a GoPro. I like it because it keeps the picture pretty level, which is important when you're filming horizon lines over water all the time. It's not great for close ups, so I use my iPhone for small rocks up close.
Lived on Lake Huron in the early 70s. Rocks & musical waves every day & every night.
Near Lake Superior/the BIG lake - in the UP - in the mid to late 70s where the beach at Little Girls Point was commonly where I viewed the Northern Lights
Aren't the Great Lakes great?
Many thanks for all the inspiring videos and teachings and views of things that exist upon this earth - in a manner that we would all like to see - without being spoken down to with words that will not be explained - is one aspect of this wonderful introduction to a very perceived magical world by myself and those that are watching with me 'infected by my discoveries too' - good bless you and yours and the same to everyone reading - its a wonderful world xxx
I'd have to know a lot more to speak down to anyone about rocks!
The stromatoporoid reminds me of the Van Gough painting "Starry Night" with the swirling lines and spots
It does look sort of like that.
The next time you see a cross-bedded quartzite, you should slab it, if you can work out the logistics.
This was a really great session! Thank you.
That rock was way too big for my saw. That would be a fun thing to see though.
Rob at 75 I am still here. Love your vids. Every time you throw a horn coral back I put my hand to the screen trying to catch it, heck, every time you throw something back I grab it. Your Christmas ornaments are awesome! Hope to make it up to Lake Superior this summer. Thanks Rob!
I have three horn corals in the basement ready for the cab machine. I went out just to get some video for TH-cam Shorts and picked up three. I’ll use whichever turns out decent and return the other two.
Those stromatoporoid slabs look like Japanese paintings of angry seas. Beautiful!
I guess I haven't seen those paintings.
@@MichiganRocks I get you. Google, "The Great Wave of Kanawha." If you like...
Sorry. Kanagawa.
Awesome beach day... :)
Beautiful rock
What a great video! The lake is so beautiful in the sunshine. Thanks for taking us with you. Are you in a state park? Lots of unusual rocks in this video. I miss those days of rockhounding on the beach and really appreciate you letting me live vicariously through you.
All the beaches on Lake Huron are state land, but not a state park. There are some state parks, but this isn't one of them.
Wow. That water is so clear!
Great looking rocks! Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it very much 😊
Fun trip! Sound of the water was amazingly relaxing! Liked the “miniature pictured rock” at the end & the slabs you cut will make great Christmas trees!🎄
Your turtles are TERRIFIC!❤️
Thanks!
The 'smellavision' brought a smile to my face. 😄
Wow. So amazing stone. Love to watch. Thank you for Sharing this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks mister Ive had a nice dinner and time while watching this
So many cool rocks.
That looked like fun! I watched this on my lunch break from slabbing. I'm cutting glacial till from York beach in Maine. You had me yelling at my TV about some of the rocks you left behind! 😅👍
I think there's lots of yelling from people watching my videos. I have found it pretty easy to tune out while I'm on the beach.
That is a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing
Nice spring day for a walk on Lake Huron shore. The lake is calling!
Get out there!
Some great rocks and a lovely day for rock hounding.
Great video and beautiful day!! Have a good day and weekend.
Beautiful day at the beach 😍
Sure was!
I just love your videos. I love pretty rocks 🥹 bless you! From South Korea
Thanks!
Very cool video Rob and your finds are amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us. God bless you
Thanks!
@@MichiganRocks you’re welcome hope you have a bless weekend
Beautiful rocks.Wish I was there.
Thanks for sharing your rock hound expeditions. I'm an ocean beachcomber coast to coast, so appreciate your work. Very informative.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Farm Gal!
Oh how I wish I was there!
Hi Rob! I love your videos of lake Huron. I grew up in Michigan and camped with parents there. We took our children camping there also. Used to have quite a collection of Petoskey stones but don't remember what happened to them. Love to see the rocks in your videos and hear the waves. I'll be driving to MI from Indiana in a week to see my son and will be stopping around South Haven to collect rocks! Again, love your channel. I am addicted!
I just got back from that area. Keep your eye out for lightning stones. We also went out for Yooperlites and found a few.
Lake Huron holds my heart. 💜
Nothing can begin without hunting
Beach hunter
Your turtle is cute🐢💕
So beautiful 💚
So many cool rocks - that you just tossed aside!! Looked like a fun time.
Wow, Rob! I wish you would have slabbed that blackish conglomerate you found at 9-10 minutes! I bet it would have made some awesome cabs!! 😊
I think you're right. There are only so many rocks I can haul home though.
Rob thank u for taking me rock hunting I loved this video I felt like I was there
For the cut rock, each piece almost looks like an abstract painting.
Thanks for sharing! Everything's I see you rockhounding in MI it reminds me of all the times I went out there!
It's a fun place to look for rocks.
Uaaaauu!!!! Quanta maravilha!!!!!
I hope to get up there this summer. Would love to find stuff like this!
That red in the "unakite" looks like garnet but I've never seen it in veins before. Gorgeous.
I don't think I've ever seen that dark of a red in unakite before. I really like it.
@@MichiganRocks Your knowledge of rocks is impeccable. It would make a great cross though, because the red looks like the blood.
that rock that has the hole that goes through it is so cool!!! i want it!!!
I find those every now and then.
I believe you are correct on the something or other! Great video, thanks for sharing!!
Great video Rob. What a beautiful to go rockhounding . That stramataphorite you cut is gorgeous ! I like when you interrupt your video to show off the cut or polished rocks. Lots of gorgeous rocks . You get to be picky . I'd have my bucket so full I couldn't carry it . 😅
Thank you so much for another day on the lake .
Yes, I'm very fortunate to live where I do where I can be very selective.
Hey rob. I hope your well. It’s nice to see us crawling out of our dwellings to rock hunt. Tell Nancy hello. ❤️👋
The weather is downright pleasant lately.
You inspired me to take my family all the way from Nebraska to Wisconsin and visit Lake Michigan. We rock hunted the beach and found a few things to bring home. Hopefully this year or next we’re going to go to the upper peninsula of Michigan to rock hunt.
How were the rocks in Wisconsin? They have agates there, did you find any?
No agates but we did find a few fossils, basalt, pudding stones etc
Batu2 nya bagus2. Is the best
Awesome cold water agate! Looks similar to the one I found in Leland last year.
You really picked up some nice rocks! Both the ones you slabbed were terrific. I'm glad you saw me waving my arm when you asked us to raise our hands if we wanted you to slab it. When you had that big rock in hand and said it was too big for the tumbler, I could picture you going to tractor supply and bring home a cement mixer and load the grit with a shovel. Then you realize that isn't big enough and to Nancy's and your neighbor's horror you drive up in a Readi-mix truck with that "this will shine up anything I can bring home!!" look in your eye.
Wouldn't that be exciting to fill a concrete mixer with rocks and grit?
That rock you asked about at 9:30. I think is a sudbury impact breccia. Also known as black opaning. Made from when a meteor hit sudbury ontario. Those rocks have "burn" flame looking marks. I have found a few in alcona county. Super cool piece of history
I did know that could be found here, but I never even think about looking for it. You might be right about that one. Now I'm really curious.
Came here to say this, too.
Its not a "black pudding stone". @lorrets9775
This video has me inspired to hit the beach. I’ll be in Alpena in a couple of weeks for a bike race so hopefully I’ll have time to scratch that itch while I’m up there.
Rockport and Partridge Point are great if you're looking for fossils. Good luck in the race!
That looks like so much fun! I’m recovering from knee replacement, so I have to wait.
Yeah, that's not compatible with rocky beaches.
Love you Robb ,you are very funny
Nice rocks 👍 here in Finland summer just started, finally can go rock hunting again 😊 in winter i buid own diy tumbler, and now its time for real action 😄
That's exciting! Good luck!
An absolute pleasure to watch. The simplicity of beautiful stones and the sound of water is just pure peace of mind. Really makes me want to visit Lake Huron. Is this in a national park?
Wondering if it would be legal if i wanted to take a few stones home to europe.
I don't think there are any National Parks on the Michigan side of Lake Huron. There is a National Lakeshore on Lake Superior (Pictured Rocks) and one on Lake Michigan (Sleeping Bear Dunes). It's illegal to take rocks from those two places, but legal to take some on other beaches.
Adoro essas pedras
Thanks for explaining the difference between stromatalite and stromataproid.
Good hunt!
That was a pretty basic explanation. Craig McLarren does a much better job in this video: th-cam.com/video/nfSIDuAM-xw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7MOPpXfvArfRpLeN
@@MichiganRocks you are a very helpful person!
Thank you sir!
I've missed some videos. Had to get some bifocals finally. I can see again. Getting older 😂. Nice rock hunting, Rob!
I think I need them too. One of these days I need to see an eye doctor.
Finding rocks like this is interesting. 20:54+ 20:54=41:08 (I watched it over and over for all 41 minutes and 8 seconds).
Rocky start.
Love the turtles. Would like to see how you do your crafts.
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/DIOBskqTRDc/w-d-xo.html
I am a stripey rock lover too!
Who doesn't love a good stripey rock?
Rock at 9:45 is basalt with feldspar crystals
Oooh, the stromatoporoid kinda looks like Van Gough's starry night!
Yep, several people have made the same comment, and it crossed my mind too.
12:32 you also use for Christmas trees ☺
Yes, that's the plan.
@@MichiganRocks I have two of them I bought from the bookstore/gift shop ☺
Oh come on….break that stink stone open! Lots of lovely rocks in this video. Beautiful day.too.
I would, but I never bring a rock hammer to the beach.
“I take them for granite..” 😂😂 Slipped that one right in!
Glad you caught it. An oldie, but a goodie.
You should have kept the rock with the hole at 11:16. Put a rope through the hole, hang it up and use it as a weather rock. Rock swinging = windy, rock wet = raining etc.
The 3rd rock you picked up had the face of a dog one side and the shape of a car the other .
Cut in half the shape of a shoe 😄
I hope the car doesn't come around the corner and run over the dog!
I sure miss Lk Huron 😢
You found a lot of really colorful rocks on that excursion. I wonder what a stinkstone would look like sliced. Probably like a slice of Swiss cheese. We’ve been back up here since We’d. I hope to get in a rock hunt in the next day or two. I suppose it’s a little early to break out the water shoes yet !
I think that's exactly what it would look like.
As soon as it gets dark….. 👍
That black one you called conglomerate, I think are impact rocks from the Onaping formation in Sudbury.. I’ve found several of them in Michigan and I absolutely love them!!
You're the third person to tell me that that rock is from the Sudbury Basin. I knew about those rocks, but don't really know how to identify them. Thanks for helping out. I need to read up on them some more.
@@MichiganRocks it’s either that, or hydrothermal vent deposit, or kimberlite, or lunar rock lol... maybe a few other things too I suppose.. it’s a weird one, it would have been gorgeous inside, and I have sliced several of them with some slight variations to them.. Rocks are incredibly fascinating!!
Hai ❤️❤️❤️nice
You found some beauties today!! Good thing there's no sound cuz I keep saying keep that one, don't leave that one, oh no you stepped over one I really want to see!! 🤦 That blueish gray one that you slabbed is amazing!! And the green with red inside is gorgeous! As always thanks for sharing!!
Yes, lucky for me, I don't hear any of the complaining. I'm just carefree while I'm on the beach.
😂
You were really busy today....seems like each step you found interesting rocks! At 9:18 your "interesting" rock looks so much like what we found in Canada, which "they" call Dallasite! When you have a minute Google Dallasite. Thanks for taking us along!!
I have seen pictures of Dallasite. I agree that this does look similar.
I'm so jealous of your access to the Great Lakes. Is the variety of rocks a result of glaciation? We have practically nothing but sandstone in Santa Barbara.
Yes. The bedrock here is limestone and that's where the fossils, like Petoskey stones, come from. The rest is a give from Canada delivered by glaciers.
Looks like a indian anchor stone
I found a green porphyritic rock a couple weeks ago that looked just like the one you picked up at 8:00. I cut it on the saw and it looked really cool.
They do look cool inside sometimes, don't they?
Hi Rob! 👋🏾
I really enjoy your videos! I've learned sooo much from you about the different stones you find. Thank you so much for all the information!
You mentioned the little turtles you make using Petosky stones. Do you sell and ship them by chance?
I sell them at a local shop because I don't have time to ship things out. They will though. They don't have an online store, but will work with you if you call or email. olivetbookandgift.com
Thanks so much! I'll check them out!
I thought I would to to the mouth of the Saugeen River, across the lake from you and look for some interesting rocks. The pebble beach was completely submerged. I was looking at small trees which are now fifty feet from shore and they didn't sprout on the shore. If this keeps up, I'm going to need to snorkel to find anything.
That's surprising because the water levels are pretty normal here. A few years ago the water was really high, but it's back down now.
@MichiganRocks , that is surprising! It seems impossible for this side to be so high and yours to be normal. Maybe plate tectonics is raising Michigan over Ontario 🤔 lol! I am wondering about it though.
