    I can’t go for a walk anywhere without bringing a trash bag or two. I came from the “make america beautiful,” crying Native American, School House Rock era of this country. Makes me sad to see how much trash is just EVERYWHERE.. Its up to us to do something about it. We gotta teach our kids too. 😉👍

    Thank you for picking up the trash! It tells me a lot about your character! It was so heartwarming to see how excited Matrix was when he discovered the lake (ocean 😉). I feel the same way when I make it up to the UP. It's really neat that he experienced his first swim! The water is so cool, and clear that it reminds me of being back home in Montana (I currently live in Michigan). For your first time, you sure did find some great looking agates! Lake Superior Agates (LSA's) are known for their red, iron staining, so it's impressive you were able to find them in the sea of red (at your first stop). I've been hunting the shores of Lake Superior many times, and frequently get skunked. Believe it or not, I found my first LSA while I was walking my dog down a random dirt road over 300 miles south of Lake Superior! LoL! It looks like you have an eye for Unakite, just like me! The green epidote and pink feldspar sure do draw my attention! The variety of coloration and patterning of Unakite never ceases to amaze me! They actually take a good polish, considering Unakite has a granitic composition... Don't you just love all of the colors and variety of rocks at Grand Marais? I usually hit my 25# limit within 30 minutes! There's just too many cool rocks that I want to take home and tumble! Did you happen to find anything with copper inclusions while you were there? How about any prehnite? That stuff is beautiful! ... Did you get a chance to go picking at night and look for sodalite (Yooperlites)? So glad you had fun! Thank you for the great video, and thanks again for helping to keep our beaches clean, and for letting folks around the world see the majesty of our Nation's Great Lakes!

    Bryan - This video was so calm and peaceful. The banding on the agates you found was so fine. I loved the large rocks you picked up with the green in them! And the big pink speckled one? I would have found it difficult not to take all those home to fill up a bowl or large jar. What I also found interesting was how the beach was literally wiped clean of everything and then it was completely covered the next day. I know it was two different areas, but still. Keep on rockin’!

Next time I'm beside my coastal area I'll definitely be looking out for gems 💎

Maybe save up and head somewhere exotic like Hawaii or South America (American Freindly) and spend a week either collabing or just seeing what the WORLD has to offer. There has to be so much gorgous material unseen by the Rockhounding space on KZread and if you pioneered the first trips to these places, you could stand to expand your channel and business as much as you'd like!

    Great rock hounding on Lake Superior. The greeinsh rocks are called Unakite. For those who are not from the area... RESPECT THE LAKE. When it is violent, stay out of the surf. It is cold enough to kill you in a short time if you can't get out of the water (year around).
