  • I LOVE the state of Michigan! Beautiful water, pristine beaches and forests, wildlife and plenty of amazing things to find! We decided to go walk a beach to hunt for petoskey stones, but also ventured out into the shallow waters to bring some FL hunting techniques to Michigan. It was an incredible success and turned out to be my favorite time fossil hunting in the state so far!

    Great video as always. I'd love to see a series of, "Bri & Cris Tour The States". You two just doing what you do all over the U.S.A. Fishing, foraging, diving, rockhounding, fossil hunting and having fun.

    Of course we want to see you do more snorkeling! Why wouldnt we? That was so coop and those perfect little shells you found were so awesome! They need to make a uv flashlight that works underwater! That would be awesome! That was a lot of fun! Some really nice petoskey stones you found out there. They will look amazing once you polish them. Thanks for sharing your hunt.

    Yes! Please do more in Michigan! We are from Grand Rapids/Wyoming area and my kiddos love to see what you find. It’s amazing to see some of the fossils, we never knew what they were and from how long ago. It’s truly amazing!! Thank you (If your in our area of Wyoming MI, stop in for some great homemade Italian food at our restaurant Russo’s Pizza. We would love to see you!!)

  • @timtalksaboutrocks....most6644

    This was fun seeing you on the beach in MIchigan and getting in the water even though it can be kind of cold sometimes. This is where I do most of my rockhounding although I didn't recognize the beach. Well done.

    The glowing rocks are amazing. I love all the ones with the little shells and snails and cross sections of coral. It would be so hard to decide which ones to keep I would want them all. When my son was little and we would go hiking or camping he used to get mad at me and tell me all I ever thought about was rocks LOL. HE WAS RIGHT

I currently live in Minnesota but I go home to Michigan once a year. It is beautiful in Michigan and the lakes are fantastic I get home sick all the time. I am trying to teach my 10 year old nephew rock hunting and he loves it, we did some hunting in Michigan in June this year he lives in Vermont and I live in Minnesota so the family gets together in Michigan every year. And we go to many beaches rock hunting..
