    Hey Kyle, did a little research on Joe Brodowski for you. Joseph F. Brodowski was born 3/16/1916 and died 12/11/1998. He lived in Vassar, Tuscola, Michigan and is buried in Riverside Cemetery in Vassar. I’ll see what else I can find on him for you. I’m sure he has family in Vassar and that would be a great family heirloom if you would be willing to sell it or part with it. Enjoy your channel buddy!

      I did find more on him. He was married to Florence Mae McNeal Brodowski who died in 2010. They married in Steuben Indiana in 1941. Since her death is not that old her obituary is probably online.

      @@WILDKYLE I believe they had a son named Joe Brodowski who is still living in Saginaw MI. I found his current info online but out of respect for him I will not post it in comments but it is easy to locate him.

      @@WILDKYLE, hey buddy I’m doing all you are up here in Md on the SOMD cliffs with Miocene and Paleocene time period, also with Native American locations as well.
      We should hook up sometime we could go to a hot spot for meg’s
      Also I wanted to tell you about a friend selling his property in Alabama soon and has creeks throughout, and has not been lived on in decades. I know I’m more than welcome to go hunt, and would be cool to do a hunt on your show lol
      Much love brother and keep on keep’in on

    That's a lamprey! Super cool! They're parasitic they attach to other fish like a leach. Super primitive they have gill holes like a shark. I've never seen one in the wild before!

    Hey Kyle, this is "sass safrass" fellow rock lover and creek walker. Do believe the funnel looking dodad is from an old tin gas can. The pour spout. My pap was born in 1913 and had a bunch in the garage when I was growing up. Hope u had fun. I love it up there in the u.p. maybe one day u can visit the gitchee gumee agate museum in st Maris, and talk to the lady about the old copper mines. She knows some ppl that have claims out there. And the old mines always have interesting old bottles lying about and dumped. Not to mention the malachite azurite and other secondary minerals in those old mines. Good luck with everything!

    Hi Kyle, I love learning from you, especially about fossils. But I gotta tell you, no matter how clear Michigan's waters may look, You couldn't get me to stick my face in it. I suppose that goes for any unknown body of water. To many pollutants where dumped into so many of Michigans waters during the 1960s and 1970s. I am glad to see your wearing a wet suit and gloves though. I walk rivers in my own state but with waterproof waders, gloves to protect from getting cut, and use a grabber to pick up items. I detect and collect. Well, I pretty much take anything I am able to lift up out of the water, especially if it is a known swimming spot. Glad to see you found so many cool finds. My favorite is the green bottle. Keep on keeping man!

    About 11:34, the rubber tube goes to the inside of a stainless milker from a dairy farm. About early 60’s to mid 70’s. They had to be cleaned twice a day after milking cows. I never seen one used as an oil funnel because oil eats rubber as someone suggested before.

    @ 4"58 it looks like an old car battery with the six caps all removed...if it's made of plastic. If it's metal, I haven't a clue.

      Ahhh I'm surprised you didn't find anything! Keep on trying! I've had that river on my radar but have not checked it out yet.

      @@WILDKYLE the river is crazy shallow, clear and clean might be your time to check it out.

    It wouldn't be a Wild Kyle video without finding a doll part in a river or creek. 😂

    Im wondering if when the tornadoes came thru back in 1953, i think, when they were cleaning up, they just dumped everything into the rivers.
