    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.

If you're interested in northern Michigan beaches, I have a lot of videos on my channel. If you let me know somewhere in the northern lower peninsula or the U.P. that you'd like more information on, I can list a few locations and videos to watch.

    You're right about the mudstone.....it's easy to see them as a beginner tumbler and think that it might tumble nicely and have all of those cool lines in them but you learn quickly just how soft they are and then avoid them. Cool looking rocks with large sizes but like many, the most interesting to tumble tend to be the small ones - more bang for your tumbling $$$. Love the Unakite....I pass on most of the Puddingstones I find (although I see that a lot of people love them) unless they are unusual with lots of Jasper. Your Petoskey's tend to be larger than what we find on the Canadian side of Huron near Kincardine but like what's in the video - the smaller tend to be the better - thanks for letting us walk with you.

Wow, the Puddingstones abounded and your luck changed on the Petoskeys, too. I've trained my ears to hear the "thunk" as you drop the rocks not taken. You show great restraint. As always, fantastic footage with the drone. Glad you took us all along for this trip. I'll bet that water was VERY cold even with your new waders. Thanks for the Spring Adventure.

      I had to hustle to get to where I wanted to fly the drone before the wind came up. I have a hard time walking down the beach without looking at rocks. I tried to keep my eyes up to walk about a mile to fly the drone. I made it just in time to get a flight in and the wind came up soon after.

    At 10:20, the rock you picked is a ferriferous (iron-rich) layered sandstone. Even though, it has been hardened/compacted for billions of years, it is still a sedimentary rock, and this is why it never polishes well in the tumbler since its particles get loose once the matrix is weakened. Thank you
