- First rockounding day for me this year. Finally not too cold, snowy or wet. First beach took me awhile to find anything good. But, towards the end of the first beach and next two I found more. A couple really nice fossils were found at the third beach.
Talk About A BLAST FROM THE PAST. Thank You For Sharing. Oh Boy Th Beauties YOU FOUND & Then Natural Tumbled Rocks/Gravel!!!
Hello, Joseph n Rosie! Thanks for watching one of my older videos. I really hope you enjoyed it! Have a great day, my friend 🙂
Excelente piezas!!!
Thank you. I appreciate you watching. 🙂👍
Very nice finds. Thank you for an Outstanding video.
Thank you so much. Appreciate that
I like the rock at 20:30 with the chalcedony window in the side. Great bunch of keepers
Oh yeah, I find some pretty chalcedony out there. I appreciate you watching. Neat seeing rocks on the other side of the pond, eh? Have a great week, Deej.
@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 I did get to do some Septarian & Fossil hunts in June but thats it for Lake Michigan this year. I am closer to Lake Huron
Very nice coral fossils. We found a full size piece of that coral in Nevada. It is the size of a basketball. Great video.
Thanks for stopping by. That sounds like it was quite the awesome specimen! Appreciate ya watching, my friend.
Very cool video!!
Thank you for sharing!!
Hello my friend! Very glad you enjoyed it. Take care 🙂
That train track was pretty crazy to see out there. Awesome day on the gravel. That last fossil around 31:20 I think looked really interesting. You did good on the fossils for sure!
Yeah, I was definitely not expecting to see train tracks out there especially so close to the lake. That was one of the bigger fossils I've found out there. Might do some hiking at one of Wisconsin may wonderful parks tomorrow. Appreciate you guys. Hope you're having a wonderful evening. 🙂
@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 sounds awesome. So glad your snow is melting so you can get to the trails. You have a great night too.
Good hunt bud, springs almost here
Thank you Jarrod. I'm definitely ready to go hiking and rock hunting.
Awesome video
Thank you very much. I'm happy you enjoyed it. 🙂
Oh yeah, great day out there. Cool boardwalk and views up to the beach. Peaceful sounds with the waves crashing. Thanks for freezing your butt off for us. It would be cool to see some of those sliced up and some tumbled. Thanks for sharing your fun journey Shawn! I see all the black sand there, gold panning, I've never tried. Beautiful rocks today, you found so many pretty ones. Those fossils are pretty, great colors.
Love the long video here, felt like I was out there with you.
I always say to myself, "just one more good one before I leave" over and over again, lol.
Yeah, there's always a couple spots on the beach with black sand, always love to look at it and sometimes wonder about gold panning. Maybe one day I'll try my luck at it. I love this park. Its fun to go hiking, bird watching as well as rockhounding. Favorite place to swim too. Thanks for watching, Nicolas.
This was the perfect mellow video for my early morning viewing. Thank you! :D
Awesome, I'm very glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
nice trip , a tough day but at least you were able to get out there , it will be better soon , and get that sand out of there lol
Hey, Wil. Thanks bud, hope sooner than later, lol. Also, hope your home is ok after that tornado rolled through New Orleans I heard about the other day.
@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 way to close , they started trackin it about a mile or two from my house it touched down for just a little bit by my sisters house , then went across the river and was on the ground for 11 miles , its about 20 miles from my house to where it hit , thanks my friend
The sounds of the waves is awesome to hear again :) Awesome fossil find at 25:50 💯👍then the rock after that one is so pretty :) So many great finds. Really like the dark colored ones and jasper finds ! Oh yah a Yooperlite, so awesome ! Great haul for sure. Enjoyed watching 😊
Hello, Cherry! I was so happy to be out there again....with no snow! Lol. Was just a tiny amount of ice. I get so excited for awesome fossil finds! Definitely some nice jaspers and darker ones I think are chalcedony, they do take a nice shine and resemble agates. I got some rocks done out of the tumbler. I had one of your agates in there, and it actually fluoresced green a little bit, maybe fluorite in there? Just gotta edit the video today or tomorrow. Thanks so much for watching. Have a nice week. 🙂
h Great little trail to the beach. You found some pretty rocks even with the amount of sand that was being deposited by the waves. Nice fossil find. Interesting rail lines on the beach. Those waves are really pounding that wall. Sweet find at 25:55 Two magnetic rocks, really neat.
Hello. Thank you for stopping byvand taking the time to comment. I'm happy you liked the video. And, yes I absolutely love my new sweet fossil find. Take care 🙂👍
Dang! Tumbler material for dayyyyyyyss! Sweet fossils too! I wonder how much of that rail line is buried in the sand?!
Yeah, these beaches supply me with a plentiful amount of material. I'm thinking of running all my tumblers soon, just polishing all my beach finds so I don't have too much just sitting in buckets all over the place.
@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 Haha, I hear that!
13:38 that's definitely a good one to tumble. I like it 🤘😊
Its definitely going in the tumbler soon. I got a lot of cool ones to chuck in the tumbler that day. Appreciate ya stopping by. I bet your getting pumped for your Oregon vacation coming up! Catch ya later 😁🤘
@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 dude for sure first long trip with the kiddo, wife and our dog Daisy. Will be a blast for sure, gonna meet up with Karen and do some beach rockhounding. Will be cool to collaborate one day and so some digging man! Keep having fun and making these awesome videos!
Enjoyed your adventure and rock finds. The wave action was crazy but majestic and beautiful!
Hello Heather! The waves were a little intimidating. But, was definitely majestic 🙂
Thank you so much for watching. Have a great week.
@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 oh I thought the tracks were unique too!
@@moonstruck581 yeah, quite odd, but really interesting to see.
Nice rocks
Thank you, Naomi. Hope you're having a great weekend!
Gostei muito dó seu canal é sou garimpeiro 👍
Thank you for watching. I appreciate it. 🙂
Hello There, I was wondering what part of Lake Michigan you are exploring
Carl Zatsick
Farmington Michigan
Thank you
It is around Zion, Illinois. Thanks for watching ☕
Love zion
Heck yeah! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 you go to mazon creek?
@@pauliewallnuts4741 I used to live in Morris, Il for many years. Found tons of fossils there, so never really made it out to Mazon Creek. There is a pit out there I've been wanting to go to, but you need permission I believe. Excellent fossils all around that area.
@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 I've never been. Planning on going. Live near Naperville
Is the fossil at 17:50 a crinoid fossil?
I would have to try and search for it amongst all my buckets of rocks, lol. But, it looked like porphyritic basalt. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. 🙂👍
Where is this beach?
Zion, Illinois
7:34. Stink stone
I actually have that rock at home. I use it as a door stop, hahaha. Holding it in my hand now. Definitely not a stink stone. I have found them out there and broke them open. This is more like a concretion and you can see it more when you hold a uv light to it.
I appreciate you leaving a comment ✌️
@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 no worries. I appreciate seeing places that are hard for me to get too
@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 i looked it up. If it looks like stink stone it is probably vesicular basalt. Cool
@oldhippie2388 it's definitely a sandstone conglomerate. I have lots of vesicular basalt also to compare it to. There is lots of awesome basalt to be found out there. I definitely appreciate your interest and sharing what you looked up 🙂
I'm going up to Michigan's UP to look for basalt, copper, epidote, greenstone, datolite, agates, and other cool beach finds in August and September. This time, I am going with a metal detector to check the basalt for copper and silver 👍
@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 i am dying to find an Omarolluk. Can’t wait to get out there
