Kingsley North is a lapidary store in Michigan's U.P. They make a great cab machine and sell many other brands too. They have a huge selection rough rock, tumblers, grit, jewelry supplies etc. at good prices. I buy most of my coarse grit from here in 45 lb. bags. It's the best price I have found. If you buy using the following link, I make a small commission.

I think it is neat that both you and Kyle can hunt for the same rocks on the same beach and come up with totally different specimens to take home. Plus the viewers are happy too!
Yep, we are not the same person, so we have different tastes. I like that too.
@@MichiganRocks you two are kind of opposites in some ways - but the same in others. (Btw hubby is land survey and he says yup looks like a survey marker)
@@carlabumstead9233 Yes, I think that's what makes it fun to hang out with Kyle.
I was at lake Huron a couple of weeks ago, and it started raining, I put my rain poncho on and kept looking for rocks, it was awesome to see the waves in the lake during a storm, no thunder or lightning, but is was easier to find the great beach rocks when every thing is wet. You really found some good rocks today, always nice to see Kyle
Yeah, wet rocks are usually better to hunt. It never ended up raining as much as I thought it was going to that day, so we had to stick with the water hunting.
I soooo jelly the two of you go rockhounding! Super finds! You definitely have an eye for Petoskey stones and the one you polished? Wowzer!!!!
I try to pick the absolute best one to polish for a video. I think I chose wisely this time.
I have buckets full from lake Charlevoix. You can easily find at least 2-4 in five minutes. Great finds guys!
The problem with inland lakes is that the beaches are private property. You can't just walk them like the Great Lakes beaches. I'm sure there are plenty of Petoskeys there though.
🙋♀️❤ Very interesting stretches of beach...strangely forlorn and abandoned in spots, then beautiful coves. I was hooked on the boulders! Very nice results..polishing at the end!
We only walked about a mile and a half and the variety was incredible.
Love them Petoskey stones. Thanks for sharing ❤
It's nice that you and Kyle see the stones in a little bit different way. We get to enjoy your beautifully polished fossils, then the various forms of fossils as Kyle sees them. Time to watch Kyle's video! Thanks for this great walk along the lake.
Kyle released his video a while back, so you'll have to look back a few videos.
@@MichiganRocks I must have already watched it then. Did you watch the video Kyle released yesterday that covered before and after footage of hurricane Idalia damage? Scary stuff.
@@gwynnfarrell1856 No, I didn't see his video. I'll have to check it out.
@@MichiganRocks Kyle and his friends did an excellent job of a video showing the before and after the hurricane hit land. Well, as close as they could get to the damaged area. We didn’t need to see anymore, they were getting a little unsafe at times!! But Bob, we couldn’t tell them any different!!! I felt they played safe the whole time and took it seriously when driving in the aftermath!!! 🤗
@@kimfrommn7162 I watched that. It was really interesting.
I always enjoy watching you and Kyle go ruck hunting together it is fun seeing how excited he gets when you find him nice rocks or corals 😃 that petoskey stone is the best one Indeed ! I must say those horn corals turned out great after polishing 🥰
Kyle is just a lot of fun. I really enjoy taking him to some of my favorite beaches.
@@MichiganRocks yes he is such a sweet and pleasant young man indeed 💖
You both found lots of beautiful petoskey stones. It was cool to see how the beach varies in different spots, some was sandy and some was very rocky .😍🥰😇👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Even the rocky spots vary. The rocks were completely different from place to place.
I've never seen the horn coral polished up, really cool! That Petoskey stone polished up beautifully!
The Petoskeys polish better than horn coral, but they're both fun to polish.
That's an awesome place! Ice never seen that many petoskey stones in one area before! Great finds!
I haven't seen so many in one place either.
I hope everyone in Florida you know is fine after the hurricane, Kyle. Prayers. On another note, Rob your camera is awesome and so clear, it's like I'm there with y'all. ❤️❤️😃🙏
Sometimes it works well and other times I have trouble getting it to focus. I mostly use a GoPro, which is great for the wide shots, but really bad at close ups. I use an iPhone when I need a really good close up of something small.
Amazing finds for both of you. Thanks for sharing 👍
Incredible fossils on that beach, not just the Petoskeys. Looks like a little bit of everything there.
Not as much variety as a place like Rockport, but it was pretty darn good.
I love watching your videos!! Excellent job!!! Thanks so much 😊
You're welcome!
Lots of nice Petoskeys! It is so neat seeing the Petoskey stone in the bedrock untumbled! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Wow! Loved the beach time and the horn coral and Petoskey polish-those are gorgeous!
That's why I keep going out looking for them.
The colours out of the river are lovely. After polishing it seems to be just shiny shades of grey
Petoskey stones are gray rocks when you find them. If you saw any other colors, it was the fault of my camera or your monitor.
Beautiful shine on those you polished! I loved the horn coral! The Petoskey stones are always a favorite ❤
They sure are one of my favorites.
Petoskey heaven for sure!!! Learned where they came from; thanks!
You're welcome!
I would love to go rock hunting there. So many cool rocks in the Great Lakes. Thanks for sharing the bedrock where petoskey stones come from. The end of the polished horn coral and petoskey are beautiful! 😀
They polish well and they're soft so the polishing is really quick too.
The Petoskey stone you polished is stunning! When you found it, I was hoping you'd show it polished. Thank you!
I try to pick out the best one to polish for the video. I think I got it this time.
Great hunt! The Horn coral is aptly named. The look like cattle horns that have been cut off.
I would have called them Bugle corals, like the Bugle chip thingies.
Hi Rob, I was watching another of my favorite channels, Atomic Shrimp, and he referenced you several times for his learning rock tumbling video! I felt so proud 😅
He has commented on my videos before. I haven't seen the video you're referring to, but I'll have to go check it out. I like that guy.
You found some gorgeous fossils. Whimper. Looks like a fun hunt in decent weather. Thanks guys! ❤️🏏🎸
Thanks for getting me hooked on Huron!
You're welcome!
Wow, it’s amazing when you find that many. And you left that big rough one on the beach! Great polishing job on the Petoskey. I like to polish the horns too, depending on the mineralization. Thanks for a great vid!
We left lots of them on the beach.
This is so relaxing to watch
Love your channel! Going to have to drive to Michigan because I'll have too many rocks to check if I fly, lol. The best thing about finding the new best is that you have 2 great quality rocks! Keep up the great work of rock hunting and taking us along.
Thanks for another enjoyable rock hunt.
Wowzer! ThankYou ❤🎉❤
I was just thinking it's about time for a new video, thanks!
You're welcome!
I wonder how many people know that lake Huron has salt mines under it and would be saltwater but has a layer of rock separating the salt from the lake. How different it would be if it and all the great lakes were saltwater
Let's hope they don't mess something up in the salt mines in Detroit. I like the water fresh, keeps the sharks away.
There's nothing quite like finding "a new best one" ;)
Love it when the two of you get together because you both have different likes😊
I like that too. It's hard for me to video stuff that I don't like because it's hard to imagine what other people like. Having someone along with different tastes, solves that problem.
Loved watching you find all those petoskeys! Had my heart racing. I’ve never seen that many, guess I’m not looking in th right place on Huron. ! You really found a couple of beauty’s.
Thanks for the stroll.
I don't know if I've ever seen that many either. That was a fun day.
Awesome guys!! ❤❤
Today at Goodwill, I bought 2 bags of rocks for $2.00 each. Was hoping at least 1 would be a yooperlite. No such luck, nothing glowed under uv light.
Bummer.
Stunning stones - what fun - I bet your friend was chuffed to bits. Yes, you rarely see lake glass, do you - maybe there would be some around the more built-up areas? Lovely Adventure, very relaxing.
There's glass out there, but I don't look for it and therefore don't really see it. Sam and his girlfriend find a fair amount of it. I found one that was clear and green glass together in one piece a couple weeks ago.
The yellow greenish slime is pollen. We had it here in Lake Michigan in places too.
The thick stuff I was walking through? I have seen yellow pollen floating on top of the water, but I didn't recognize the stuff in this video as pollen. I have also seen dead May flies washed up, but this stuff didn't stink like those do. Thanks for educating me.
After watching your video(s), I have a need to find Petosky stones! In fact, I'm planning a week to go to Michigan and hunt for myself. I'm in central Pennsylvania and I can be there in about 9 1/2 hours. I'm psyched! Good hunt and I love seeing you and Kyle hunting together.
You won't find them as plentiful as on this beach. You should be able to find some if you walk a long way, but don't expect what you saw here. This beach is remote and not hunted very much. It's pretty hard to get to.
Great day rock hounding 😊
Great day.
What an awesome beach hunt. That full head Kyle found , was cool, some amazing huge rocks, they’d look nice in your garden 😄
There are actually a lot of full heads in one little area. I don't know why, but they really seem to be popping out of the bedrock there.
Nice looking Petoskey stones. And some interesting rocks. The horn coral polished up so pretty.
That was my kind of beach! I love the Petoskey stones!
I agree. That was a fun day.
Took my first trip to your hometown Alpena the past couple days. Went to rock port first, the southern end was better hunting, but the black flies were kickin. Went to meijer, got some joggers, and I was good to go. Found lots of great stuff there. Gowganda, variolite, piles of meh petoskis, cladapora, a gigantic pudding stone, and various others. I also went to Nowicki’s, was great. Today we went to partridge point in search of fossils. I found a blastoid, some crinoid stems and other fun stuff. Thank you for what you do Rob. Maybe some day we can hunt rocks together.
Sounds like you did well. I'm really surprised that you found a big puddingstone to the south at Rockport. I have found more to the north. The cladopora is thick there though. I'm glad you had a good time. Did you check out the sinkholes or the quarry while you were at Rockport?
“They look more fossily, like Kyle likes them.” 😂
cool petosky stone source info & footage. i had no idea
the hole-y coral was cool
18:00 gorgeous! shined up real purty. so did the horn corals 👍🏻
i like it when you & Kyle hang. it’s always fun & funny.
I always enjoy it.
We're going on a big rock hunt to Grand bend Ontario next weekend. Supposed to be fantastic weather. I'm going to make sure to get a good amount of finds to put in the rock tumbler over the winter. I don't know if you've ever shown your favorite rock out of your collection on a video but maybe in an upcoming rocks in a box episode you can show your top 2 or 3 finds. Cheers from Buffalo
I kind of did that here: ruclips.net/video/m89j12w3lBI/видео.html
Looks like a lot of fun... :)
Great rock hunting.
Great finds.
Funny how horn coral are different from beach to beach, I picked a few from that beach a couple years back that were like those. Rogers City has different ones and so does Alpena. I thought I knew where you were from the rocks and then you pointed out the bedrock with the deep drop off and I knew I was right. Last time I went the water was high and it was wavy, same mix of stones but I did not find any banded chert, that was a nice one.
We didn't see much banded chert. The horn corals I usually find tend to have little voids in them. I have seen some polished from up in Cheboygan county that looked really solid. I'll have to look for some up that way.
Seems like hunting rocks in the rain would be the best way to find them, as long as you have good rain gear on. :)
The worst is when it sprinkles on and off, especially for Petoskeys. When you're looking for a speckled pattern, rain sprinkles make them all look that way.
There was a whole lot of petosky stones!
Nice Hunt 😊
Hey Rob , thanks for everything you show us, we’re coming up to Michigan the first week of June, plan on hunting around Alpena, is there any beaches that we shouldn’t go to, and
beaches that we should go to, hoping you can suggest some, so we don’t waste our time, thanks in advance
Alpena is great for fossils. I'd suggest going to Rockport. That place is really fun and you could easily spend a whole day there. Rockport is an old limestone quarry. Inside the quarry, you'll find lots of fossils, including giant Petoskey stones. Those Petoskey stones aren't much good for polishing but they're great as fossils specimens. There are loads of other fossils there too.
If you hike a couple of miles behind the quarry, there are about a dozen sinkholes in the woods. There are signs, but looking at the satellite view on your phone helps you find some that don't have trails going to them.
Then there's the beach. To the north, there are gastropod fossil about 1/2 to one mile up. If you drive to the south side of the boat ramp, and park near the water, the rocks are completely different. There are some huge rocks with fossils galore.
Another good spot for fossils is Partridge Point Park. Take Partridge Point road from the north until the pavement ends. Just after the dirt starts, you'll see a road toward the lake. Park down there and head out on the trail behind the green gate. This is public, so it's ok to go past the gate. That little bay is full of fossils.
Wow! It puts my teeny Texas chunks I find to shame! Great stuff!
I don't think you're finding Petoskey Stones in Texas. Must be a look alike.
@@MichiganRocks Correct! Definitely not a Petoskey but some form of hexacorallia(I believe that is the name?) fossil. I don't know the specific type but it has a nice translucency to it!
@@jamesferry6717 Hexagonaria. Hexagonaria here is not translucent. Well, the good stuff isn't. Sometimes it gets really silicified and that stuff is probably slightly translucent but is not usually very good for lapidary purposes. The pattern isn't as crisp and those usually have little voids in the rock.
That was quite a hunt!
I know! Fun, fun fun!
That was Petoskey heaven for sure. I don’t know if you walked all that distance in your bare feet but mine would have been killing me !
No, definitely not. I just walked a short distance where it was sandy. I wear water shoes or Muck Boot garden shoes.
Awsome episode!!!!!!
6:51 mins center of picture - looks like a large banded chert. I know you like striped rocks so I was surprised you missed it. I mean I hollered - how could you not hear me?
I think I see it. Of course it's a little late now. Could you speak up a little louder next time?
That was a great rock hunt. You 2 make me laugh
Kyle makes me laugh. He's fun.
Whoa another productive, very enjoyable video! Sure looked like deer prints in the sand at 14:55?
Yep, those were definitely deer prints. That's not at all unusual. Deer have to drink too.
Well, Its official. I am a lost cause. Lol. I just bought my first wet saw. 10 inch. Having a great time though. Thanks for the inspiration. 🙏🏼
Yep, you've had a taste, now you're hooked.
Very nice beach
I thought so. So many Petoskeys!
Preque Isle harbor, mi there is a crystal point park...looks like some good beach
there from google maps...what you think. I'm from duluth mn if i got that far I definitely going to look a lot so I don't come back empty handed. The upper mi past grand marais mi is closer to me if that is good for petosky and horn coal to. Nice stones, I agree that getting smoother ones seems better less grinding later to to get them nice looking.
That's not a good spot for Petoskey stones at all. It's beautiful there, but the rocks are pretty boring. I was there or very close at about 2:30 in this video: ruclips.net/video/W5Q1W8B251M/видео.htmlsi=_thSUGCDOJsYZsy-
The area to the east of Grand Marais is awesome, but not for Petoskey stones. Petoskey stones are found mainly south of Harbor Springs in Lake Michigan or south of Rogers City in Lake Huron. Presque Isle might actually be too far north because I didn't see any there. The key to finding them is to go as far from public access points as you can. If you have a kayak that's a great way to get farther down the beach, or just plan to walk a few miles.
That's an awesome beach. I don't believe I have found that one yet. Doesn't look familiar to me. You both found some really nice Petoskeys. Loved the horn coral.
Judging by the number of Petoskey Stones there, I don't think many people have found it.
Would you be willing to share it's location? Say maybe in a text?
@@donnalantz7981 Sorry Donna. This location was given to me by someone else. I don't think that person wanted me to share it.
I understand. No problem.
I would so so love a raw Petoskey. 😍
Reminds me of Partridge Point 🤔
No, it's totally different. Partridge point has a lot of death plate type fossils and almost no Petoskey Stones. That might not come through in a video, but if you were at both beaches, you'd see the difference.
Hello Wild Kyle...can't wait to find a horn coral to cut a slice. Make a circular cabachon.
I need to find one where the radial lines show up a little better.
Lindas rochas
Where in the heck did you find such a long stretch of uninhabited Lake Huron. Great rocks ❤❤
It wasn't uninhabited. There were stretches with houses and stretches without houses.
Hey Rob. I love watching your Videos😊. I collect rocks too😆. I collect all types of Rocks😆❤️. And I do have some Michigan Rocks Too😆.
It's always good to have a few Michigan rocks.
@@MichiganRocks Yep Michigan has really colorful rocks😆❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗🖤.
Go blue!! 〽️
What creates all those holes in the Petoskey stones? That Petoskey you polished looks wonderful! Thanks!
They're not holes, they're just dark in the middle. Petoskey Stone is a fossilized coral called Hexagonaria. Each little hexagon was actually an individual animal.
Hey how's it going today? Im not sure if you are going to see this comment, but here goes; I've seen in some of your videos you find what you call "Mystery Stone". I'm having a little trouble seeing it due to technical limitations, but I find it too down in S. St. Louis county and I don't know what it is either, however I always pick it up, usually to my disappointment lol, but I have 4 I have kept because 3 have Agate banding in them, and 2 have Skip Atom style banding . The other last one is really different. It's black and white with Limonite blending in one side and Hematite blending in to the other side. If I'm correct they feel almost velvety to the rub, and have a distinctive microsparkle? If you EVER find out what the name of it is PLEASE let me know. I believe it is some sort/form of Chalcedony. Anyhoo, thank you, I appreciate your channel.
Your stuff does sound just like what I find. Part of that rock is chalcedony, as identified by two geologists this summer. But there's also layers that are the color of limonite, hematite, and maybe jasper. Here's a video where I showed it to the geologists. ruclips.net/video/lWTgUbdccJE/видео.html
@@MichiganRocks Thank you. I actually watched that video a long time ago, and I really appreciate it. I really learned a LOT from it, as I was interested in what a lot of the other minerals I was seeing were. Thank you again for your time.
@@kirbycraft1302 Are you sure you watched that one? It was just published on August 11, although we did a very similar one last summer too. Maybe by "a long time ago" you meant a month ago, though.
@@MichiganRocks Thank you. I just finished watching it, and it was literally riveting for me. Ironically I started watching it yesterday thinking it was the one from last year, or season before that, I'm not sure, but thank you so much again. NEW NAME........ MYSTERY CHALCEDONY!!! I throw 99% back, but I have a FEW of them that are,in my opinion, very nice. Once in a blue moon they have Limonite staining on the husk, with the pitting/divets. That type is much closer to a Mottled Agate, like the Mottled Agate doppelganger, or something like that. I better stop I can go on and on. Again thank you for your time to make that video. Very informative and educational.
I have learned from my mistakes so………..WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! ANOTHER VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7:35 that’s a rare Guernsey rock
Moo!
What beach are you at? And yes, every time you throw back a Petoskey my heart breaks a little
Someone told me about this one with the understanding that I wouldn't give away the location. Sorry.
“Gneiss.” I see what you did there 😉
Who makes the polisher? That is a cool bot of kit.

When u find something you don't like throw it far back in the water for more polishing!!!!!!
I did that in my first every beach video. That makes people who don't understand how beaches work very, very angry. They think that the rock will never been seen again.
Do you know of any good places to search in the state of New Hampshire?? I would love to go to your beaches, but too far away!?😅
Ive searched Maine beaches a couple of times ( salt water)?? Onced lived a mile away from a few original mica mines in New Hampshire. So I have a huge collection of quartz w/ other minerals.
Nope, I've never been to New Hampshire.
Hey Rob, Great video! I like the beaches that have both puddingstones and Petoskey stones.
My wife and I are flying to southern Michigan next month for a family event. Later in the trip we're heading north through the Lake Huron side of the mitten to sightsee and rock hound between Alpena and Mackinaw City. We can't collect many rocks or very large ones either since we're flying and our luggage is a limiting factor. But we have to collect at least a few small puddingstones and Petoskeys from Lake Huron and some beach agates, unakites, and yooperlites from Lake Superior. We've got the following sites picked out to rock hound on Huron before we reach Mackinaw City: Rockport recreation area, Hoeft State Park, and Huron Shores roadside park. Are there any other suggestions for sites you'd be comfortable sharing? Thanks, Joe
Those are pretty good spots. Also consider 40 Mile Point Lighthouse in the same area. South of Alpena, there's Harrisville State Park (small rocks), Sturgeon Point Lighthouse, and Negwegon State Park. Negwegon is sandy, but there are rocks if you walk to the north.
@@MichiganRocks Thanks Rob. We'll definitely add the 40 mile point lighthouse to our short list. We haven't gotten far enough in our planning to research sites for our first days drive to Alpena. We appreciate the sites you offered. I just viewed all three of the sites (south of Alpena) on Google Earth and the Sturgeon Point Lighthouse looks really interesting. If we only have enough time to visit one site, would Sturgeon Point be the one to see?
@@joechiaretti4131 No, the beach there eventually turns to sand and it gets really picked over. Negwegon would be higher on my list, although it requires walking a long way to get to the rocks.
@@MichiganRocksHey Rob, Our time may be limited, so I'm just wondering how far and how much time to walk "a long way" to good rocks at Negwegon?
@@joechiaretti4131 You have to walk about 3/4 of a mile (rough guess) to get to the rocks. Before that, it's all sand. It's probably not the place to go if you're in a hurry because it's also a slow drive in on a sandy trail. It's a little quicker to come in from the south because you're not on the trail for nearly as long.
Please tell me you kept the find at 9:54. 😂 It looks like one of those silicified fossils (commonly referred to as cold water agates)?
I've never thought of polishing horn coral! I'll be pulling some of mine to try. Thanks for another great video!
But then I'd be lying. It didn't look like a cold water agate to me at the time.
@@MichiganRocks , I definitely don't want you to lie, and I feel better knowing you didn't think it looked like a CWA. 😅
👍👍👍
Are y’all saying “pudding stone”???
And what is that???
I can't remember if we found puddingstones in this video, but I do find them often. In this video, they were mostly Petoskey Stones. Puddingstone are a meta-conglomerate rock made of sand and pebbles that was heated and compressed into rock. English settlers thought they looked like suet pudding with berries, which is why they're called puddingstones. I even made suet pudding once to see if it really looked similar. ruclips.net/video/aYwuso9BMEk/видео.html
I need another tumbler. Do you recommend Direct Drive over Belt Drive.
I have never used a direct drive tumbler, so I can't really comment on them. Of the rotary tumblers I have used, I like Lortone the best.
Hey I live in Cave City, Ar. and I found a black rock that was almost as hard as Agate, pretty close, would you have any idea what it could be? Thanks Ebby G Shreve
No, I wouldn't have a clue. Sorry.
@@MichiganRocks Thanks anyway.
In Michigan right now but not having much luck. Near Eastport. Have any good area's to hunt around here?
Try Antrim Creek Natural Area. Walk as far as you can to get away from where everyone else is looking.
Thanks will give it a try
Found some thanks again ☺️
What type of polishing units do you use?
I have a Kingsley North cabbing machine. Here is my review of it a couple links to it:

I also have an old, homemade flat lap, and a lot of tumblers.
Why is Lake Huron so scummy and dirty compared to Lake Superior? Is it because it is shallower so it's warmer than Lake Superior so stuff grows in it easier? Or are there more industries that pollute the water? Just wondering. I've only ever been to Lake Superior. Thanks!
It's not always like that, in fact it's usually not on the beaches I go to. There might be more algae, but I'm not sure about that. Sometimes there are hatches of bugs, like mayflies for example, that die off and then wash up on shore. I'm not sure what was in the water that day.
And what beach are you at? Or is this a secret one?
Someone told me about this one and I don't think that they wanted me to share it. I guess I shared it with Kyle, though.
Just subscribed! Hope see my FIRST FIND on my YT channel of a silicified Petoskey stone. We are Lake Huron. Was very happy and hope to find an intact one soon. Enjoy your finds and videos 😊
Lake Huron is a good place to look. I'm sure you'll find plenty.
