I've NEVER FOUND Treasure Like THESE Before! "Lightning Stone" Hunting on Lake Michigan
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2022
- FINALLY! This is something I've been wanting to do ever since I first saw these beautiful stones online. I have been to Michigan quite a bit over the last few years, but was just recently made aware of "Lightning Stones". I had no choice but to take a drive and go hunt for these beautiful and unique stones for myself! I think I had a great day!

I've just spent like five minutes rubbing at my screen, only to realize that the smudge I was seeing in the middle was on YOUR camera, not my screen... lol
Anyway, very cool rocks! Love them!
OMG I'm sorry 😂😂😂
HEY Kyle, that one with the circle looks like a tree on the back side.
I thought the same thing!
First image I saw was the tree
I see the same thing too.
Me to, was surprised to see others saw it to. Great minds 😉
I see the tree! Awesome!
Wow! I just wanna take all the rocks!!💜💜💜
So pretty!
Thank you! I like to paint rocks but it’s hard to find smooth flat surface’s. Now I know what beach to head to😁💚🍀
I am always on board for a new Wild Kyle video!
Lake Michigan may as well be called an inland sea. Most people might not realize how much wave action there is, it can literally be surfed 🏄 at times. Michigan was my adopted home state for many years though I lived about as far from any shoreline as you can get in a state bordered with more than 3K miles of lake
I grew up on the lake and you are not wrong. The rip current is so strong (my mom use to call it the under tow) it makes Lk Michigan the most dangerous inland lake in the world. When I was a kid we use to go pier jumping on the North Beach just north of Pilgrim Haven. I’m lucky to be alive!
Wow wow wow. I found some very similar rocks to these lightning stones. Same except mine are literally smooth as if tumbled. I've searched and searched for their names. I used rock identifier and it says quartz and jasper high silica. I hardly ever noticed the calcite lines because the smoothness of them steal the show. Ur so cute and fun to watch. I admire ur ethic in reaching out of ur box a bit trying new stuff. Thanks for sharing. I'll watch as long as u keep em comin!!! Emily
You're in my homestate! Great finds! Always enjoy your videos. Nothing like the Great Lakes!
Like a kid in a candy store. I love pretty rocks. I love your red bucket
I love watching your videos. I live in the middle of the mitten and wish I lived closer to one of the big lakes. My husband laughs at me because we can't go anywhere without me stopping to look at the rocks. I now have my oldest daughter doing it too. I have learned so much watching you. Thank you.
sounds fun! my mom and i love to do this kind of stuff. its exciting and fulfilling. this is the greatest state to find rocks for real!
Great adventure! Your on my home turf! Lake Michigan is the most dangerous lake in the country. Some 300,000 people have died in it, along with A Lot sunken ships. The riptide is awful. Creepy facts 😬🫣. However, it’s 300mi in both directions, make it the most awesome lake in the country also. It’s no wonder why we find the most fabulous rocks here. Septarians, Amethyst, Unakite, Agate, Jasper, loads of Fossils, Jade, and the list goes on and on.
Growing up on Lake Michigan has been a true blessing. Lots of my rockhound friends, started their passion from hounding these shores of the lake. I’m so glad you got to experience the beautiful and amazing treasure we have here. Come back and visit again soon! Let us know when and where so we can come out and join you in some shenanigans 😆😆
Thanks so much for sharing your adventures!
Love your channel ❤️❤️
Stay Crystal,
Mari
Super cool and magical place!!
Hey Kyle. Hope you're feeling better. I believe the green/red stones are unakite. Great video.
It's great to have you back in Michigan. It was fun to go on this adventure with you, even though I couldn't go down the steep steps or on the rocky beach. It was just great to spend time with you and this is a great video and you found some cool looking lightning stones. I noticed the tree on the back of the one stone also. Love you ❤️❤️
Michigan Lightning Stones!! I have buckets full from down by South Haven. One truly fantastic lake creation!! 🤟
I love that beach! One of my favorite day trip spots! ♡ the pink and green are unikite.
Nice video. Like that you zeroed in on one type of rock. Like seeing them all at the end. Thanks. Suzy AZ USA
ive never heard the name 'lightening stones' but ive always loved those rocks.. great hunting kyle! 💛
Really cool rocks that this Florida gal hasn’t seen. Thanks for sharing!
They are all really great. And just watching the waves roll back and forth over all the rocks is amazing. There are just so many colors it's overwhelming, nothing boring at all. Don't think I'd be able to bring enough buckets to collect everything I'd want to take back with me
If you’re still up there you HAVE to go to Pier Cove. The lightning stones are awesome, but there’s incredible tumblers!!!
Hi Kyle! I hope you and your mother are doing well. The stones you show at 2:20 and 2:52, if the color is green and a pinkish-red, (kind of hard to tell on my monitor) it's unakite and looks very nice polished. If you are near Rob (Michigan Rocks), he knows unakite quite well. Unakite is made of quartz, epidote, and feldspar. My favorite lightening stone you found was the upper left one that you first said was your favorite. Thanks. Take care!
I love Lake Michigan. It gets pretty strong like the ocean. I live in Illinois and family vacations were going to Michigan. Always included rock hounding along the western shores. We took home so many bucketfuls of beautiful rocks. That state has my heart.
This is one of my favorite places to be. Glad you got to come enjoy it too. Also sometimes if you’re really looking you find agatey things, plus fossils. I found a little fluorescent sodalite there too.
Lot of awesome stones.
Thanks for sharing another adventure!!
Hello Kyle I enjoyed your video I hope your mom is doing well enjoy your visit take care glad you finally got over the covid 🌞👍👍👍👍🗝️
Rocks, rocks, rocks never get enough of them. Have Michigan Rocks cut some in half for you and tumble a few. You should keep the rocks you find that you like regardless if it's the type your looking for now or not.
Hey wild man, I smile all through your videos, thanks !! I like the little black stone at the top right corner, with the colour dome.
The one you said had a unique shape. The formation resembled Kokopelli, native spirit. I really liked it. Cool finds.
These waves are nothing compared to what Lake Superior can have. Glad you found some good ones! Don't cut any good ones open, they usually don't look that great. The brown doesn't take a good polish, but talk to Rob, I know he has been to that beach collecting. The cool fossil is my favorite. The first fossil.
Can't wait to see what they all look like polished.
Your enthusiasm is infectious! I find lightning stones along the shores of Lake Shelbyville in central Illinois, they're so cool.
My favorite was your SMILE...glad your feeling better & you thought of your Mom bringing her a rock back. You're a awesome human ❤️❤️❤️
Wow you got a bunch of really cool rocks! Those lightning stone are pretty cool! Your microphone is really good. Even as windy as it was, your mic picked up your voice and not the wind. So its an awesome mic. You are like a kid in a candy store! I absolutely love your enthusiasm. Unikite is green serpentine and feldspar. I think you can put mineral oil on some of those , and it will look wet without the damaging grinding down on it, to polish it. Some you can polish. You can cut into the ones that look like the calcite goes all the way through the rock, and then polish up the flat face on it, and it will look amazing! You are looking healthy now and happy, which is amazing. I hope your mom is doing good? I am keeping up the prayers for her. I donated to the go fund me. Im sorry i cant do more. But you are going to be a litt,e pickier, when looking for rocks on the lake! or just get a bigger bucket! You look great! Hope they turn out awesome for you, when you cut them! Thanks for sharing!
I love your enthusiasm! Can’t wait to see them polished
Septarians are sooooo rad! Nice Finds!
I am OBSESSED 😂
I've never seen those stones before. I've heard about them but until now I haven't seen them . Oddly enough though , now that I do see them , I have seen several different types of extremely similar stones . That was a great hunt Kyle and I hope your mom liked the one you brought her . Great content Kyle and I hope to see you soon my friend . Cheers
Beautiful stones 👍
Fantastic haul. Enjoying watching you enjoying the hunt. Keep them coming.
Thanks Nancy! Many more Michigan videos to come :)
Love these, used to find 'em up near Monticello, Indiana.... great finds! Cheers!
I have a box of these collected the past couple of years. Only found on 3 or 4 beaches along that part of the lake!
Love going to Michigan as a kid loved rock hunting there. Keep hunting
Another great video. Love the rocks ❤️
Yay!!! Michigan!! I love it here! Enjoy your time here. Dude love the excitement in your voice!!!
Glad you feel better. Big hugs to mom and always in my prayers.
Awesome awesome awesome finds!!!
I like ‘em all Lol
Plans to be there in about ten days to celebrate my birthday picking up stones!
Thanks for sharing!!! :-)
Ohhhh awesome! Good luck and happy early birthday to ya!
Excellent. At last an articulate video presenter.
Thank you so much for this Video...
i know these Stones, found one years ago at the Baltic Sea :)
Din´t take much notice of them, until now :D
Next Holiday i will look for them again surely...
The sound was fine. Good video. I loved the small colorful oval rock you kept in the beginning. Good hunt!
Loved this video hope your mom is doing okay. All your videos are awesome
Just found your channel. My parents are really into collecting rocks from all their travels. Now that I'm getting older I'm starting to really appreciate their beauty and uniqueness. Great video!
❤ from Baton Rouge
I'm close to Slidell so Hello!
Are there any cool places to go rock hounding in our area? Or West, southern Mississippi?
Thank You.
They are very cool, I love the one you said was your favorite, the first one. They're all very neat! I'd need a dump truck to bring home all the rocks I love up there! I hope you're feeling better!💖
Wild stuff Kyle those rocks are amazing!
Really cool finds! They are awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I like the potato rocks unpolished. Great video!
How’s your mom doing? It’s kind of you to bring her her favorite stone. Your favorite find looks like a steak 🥩. I didn’t hear the wind just the waves which is very relaxing. There is/was instability in the weather further west of you that was probably the wave maker. You did a great job. Love this video. You had a good day that makes a longer video. 🙏✌🏻❤️🙂🙏
I really liked the one that looked like a blindfolded
dental hygienist trying to make a circle on an Etch-a-sketch.
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂
Dragon's eggs!! Can't wait!! Septarians are my fave.
Pilgrim Haven! One of my favorite rockhounding spots ever. My dog loves swimming in the creek!
That’s a fairly new beech in South Haven isn’t it? I use to love the North and South Beech there. I lived in Saugatuck and loved going to South Haven. It’s a great little town and Clementines is the best!
ooooooh I LOVE septarians! They tend to polish really well (the ones from the desert of CA do anyway). I hope to see a cutting video soon!
Hi Kyle, good to see you in Michigan! I have your mom in prayer. The green in the unakite is epidote.
Welcome back to Michigan. Glad to see you feeling better and out collecting. Happy hunting.😊 WOW! Nice grouping of stones! Great job! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Debi! I am very happy to be back out too. It feels great!
Rock @ 5:17. Ooooooooooo so unique! Hope you kept that one!
These are AMAZING!!
Ya I could NEVER do this!!! The next morning the beach would be barren and my back yard would be a quary.
You enjoyed yourself for sure. My favourite was the one on the top left hand corner of the towel.
I love your child in a candy shop antics. There's another one! And another one! I get so excited too!
Wow Kyle you’re really having a good time picking up those lightning stones that’s awesome and I see you’re back up in Michigan again nice place to visit never been there myself but I’ve heard it’s been nice several of you have been there you and Chris been up there and I believe Leo has been in Michigan all looking for rocks it’s awesome
Very cool.
Thank you for sharing.
I learned something new today because of You.
Lightening stones!
Love that place ❤
I'm down here on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, so I have a zero chance of finding one.
I really enjoyed this hunt of yours!
❤
I think we would get along great lol. I am such a nerd for ground scores and really no matter what or where. Anything unique that catches your eye. It is the simple beauty of your eye seeing something that your mind finds pleasurable. What a special world we live in.
Great video,thank you
Hey man, more often than not the calcite is more visible on the inside! You should definitely try slicing some up to see what they're hiding. Keep up the good work my dude 👊
Awesome video!! I live less then an hour from pilgrim haven!! It’s one of my favorite beaches. 😁
Deer lick park just down the road from there is a neat little treasure too. Have found some really cool stone and old hysterical bricks. Have a brick piece with the date 1854 I found there!
Cool stuff man ⚡ ⚡⚡👍✌
Aren’t they great! Found some in New Jersey over the years. Good description. You look healthy!! The second colored rock is another metamorphic rock formed as different kinds of lava, sandstone, other metamorphic systems were reblended/heated/cooled under great pressure for millions of years. These “cobbles” have been rolled and deposited by glaciers and floods and retreating shores of lakes and creeks and oceans. Yes, millions of years. Loved your collecting!!
Thanks Lillian! I feel healthy too after that little bout with covid.I don't have any obvious long-covid symptoms so that's good!
Beautiful stones thanks for sharing 😊
You left some pretty amazing red, yelliw and green jasper on that beach. But, I have to say the septarian you picked up was very cool. Don't you just love learning about new stones?? I did not hear you say where you were. Keep up the excitement!! Some day I hope to find an arrowhead and a sharks tooth.
Yes the big lake def has some great and plentiful jasper.
Awesome finds !! 👍
Your excitement is infectious, especially as you get further and further into the video!
Fossil soup looks cool!
I enjoy that you hunt for multiple treasures- fossils, bottles, stone relics, rocks and minerals…
Keep hunting✊
this was a lot of fun! some of them look like rubber-banded tshirts like when you tie-dye. your fave is mine too. i really love that unusual stone in the upper right corner of the towel above the gifted fossil. thanks again bud!
Alway fun watching your videos. I love how excited you get when you find a wonderful treasure. God Bless.❤🙏
Wow! @24:34 2ND most favorite, reminds me of a KATCHINA DANCER !
SUCH an amazing haul, it's 1:55a.m. and I want to head there NOW!
Thanks for a great vid before heading off to bed. Soon, I hope to be lucky enough to find a few of these. Your AMAZING KYLE!
Nice haul!!
WOW WOW WOW Kyle I love watching all your shows ,and what fun and a great interest ,Great to see you having an adventure every time .Wish I was there .
Hey Blue eyes, I'm an old Urban Archiologist. I found cool stuff I'd like you to inherit. Lol ! 🤜🤛🤟
I Love rocks/pebbles/stones, really liked the first one you picked up and the one with fossils in it.
I like the 9th one you picked up very cool they're all pretty cool
Cool stones!
I’m going to Michigan soon and I’m gonna look for those!!! Thank you Kyle, prayers for your Mother and your family, God Bless!!
Pilgrim Haven (just south of South Haven) is a great rock hounding beach. Rocky Gap and Roadside, just south, are other great rock beaches! Just north is a beautiful little artist town called Saugatuck. Although I’m from Benton Harbor I lived in Saugatuck for years.
That was a great haul.
Hail Duckman is back.
love your enthusiasm!
Thank you 😊😊😊
Excelente video
That's down by me! Pilgrim Haven and deer lick creek are the best spots in Michigan to find rocks
Nice! Just down the road from my house! I find all my cool rocks and beach glass at Pilgrim Haven
Oh man...once you pop...ya just can't stop..awesome...
I love to hear your excitement! Too many rocks, too little places to put them for me!
Dude, i couldn't carry them all back home!!!! This is a dream!
Hello Kyle, I think the lightning stones are too soft to tumble
You may want to hand polish them like Petoskey stones

Septarian nodules are so neat looking. I thought the weird geodes I find were septarians at first because they have that similar mud crack texture. 🤔 I’m thinking they must have formed in a similar way. They’re primarily quartz though not calcite.
Hi Kyle. I happen to live in Michigan and vacation on lake Huron. In Rogers City they have a calcite mine and across the road from the mine they have piled all the rock from the mine. It's my favorite place to visit. I too get lost in the rock hunt.
I'm watching you get excited about rocks I see all the time. It made me realize how we take things for granted. Look forward to seeing you cut into to those rocks. I'm thinking about trying that
