    Wow my two favorite Rock Stars in one video! Robs channel was what got me collecting rocks and tumbling/polishing. He is very informative at teaching us newbies what we are looking at and how to polish them. Hope to run into both of you on a beach someday. Btw you fix that truck bud, she is worth it 😁

    How cool! Love Rob's channel. Definitely a fave. I am so glad you got to go rockhounding with Rob. I cheered when you revealed he was your guest. Hope you get your 4 wheel drive. Maybe you can do some tours to help pay for it. Great story about the bear. Very happy to see a new post uploaded on your channel. 😊

      Hey Rachelle, thank you for watching and continuing to leave awesome comments. I'm working on the vehicle situation but can't really do guided agate trips without a vehicle. But a couple suitable vehicles might be coming available. Hey would you mind sending me a Toyota land cruiser "troopy"? 😁 I know they are population down there...! They are my dream vehicle! In return, I will send you an agate!😁

    Hey, I finally got a chance to watch your video. I've been busy editing and recording more stuff. It was fun to see the day from your perspective. My video will be out next week. I have a rock that I found that day in the tumbler that I wanted to include in my video, but tumbling takes time.

    • @upperpeninsulabeautiful

      @@upperpeninsulabeautiful I had a great time. I don't need to find awesome agates to enjoy a day on the beach.
      I'm tumbling the one that looked like Mary Ellen jasper that I found at the end of our hunt. It was mostly red jasper with some swirls and circles and a few areas with white agate. I ground out the worst parts on my cab machine and then threw it into the vibratory tumbler. It will be done on Friday, but I have another video that I might put out first. I kind of want to publish both this week but I need to space them out so I don't run out of videos. It's difficult to put out one or two videos every week for years.

I haven’t found an agate there, but I have found yooperlites…small ones since I visit in the summer. This probably also explains my agate-free experience :( I’ll have to visit in the spring some time soon when the rock picking is a bit better.
