  You guys brought up why so many of us lick the rocks lol. I was up there last year for my very first rock hunt in Michigan. Had no idea what I was doing, I'll be better equipped this year.

  I just found your videos and am so glad. I love that your telling everyone where you are (and the bathroom situation. lol.) I would love to go hunting for pudding stones but can't make it to drummond island. I've joined some facebook groups but now one will tell where to find them. Again. I really appreciate you.

  Interesting. We did that trip last September in the opposite direction continuing to the straits and all of Superior (that was accessible) to and around Kewenaw and south to Misery Bay. It was a great trip but 7 days was too little time for all the spots to be fully explored. The joy is that we can plan more and or longer trips this year. Gotta love Michigan and it’s rocks.

  That s exactly where I grew up trompng the hills as a youth. Turkey and Grove creek 'ran' right by my house in the country and I used to hike up and down them for miles since it was easier walking than the woods. It was almost always dry, but the old timers said it used to run year round before the highways went through. Apparently, highway bridges blasted down through the limestone bedrock and let the water flow below the limestone layer that is continuous in this area. A twin-engined airplane crashed there and struck that bridge is in 1977 and I scoured the area immediately North of the bridge looking at the debris. I believe the actual Creek is Grove Creek. Turkey Creek is the next creek to the West. This area was not extensively mined like the region of the lead mines immediately to the West. This pspot also was also on the the track of a running civil war battle in which the Yankees pursued a large band of Confederate irregulars from battle of Newtonia to a spot called French Point, just North of Joplin on Spring River, the sight of a very early wood-fired smelter.

  Yes the diversity of rocks and mineral types here is amazing at the edge of the Ozark Plateau. We are fortunate to have a secondary positive side-effect from a century of destructive mining and that is the presence in museums of unusual specimens recovered while looking for and mining lead. Throw in the plethora of caves everywhere and you hit the jackpot for trolls and gnomes, spelunkers and stone-stalkers. Up until the 70s, the calcite crystals and other strange stones were everywhere in the now-vanished tailings piles in parts of the city and was phenomenal in its abundance. All us neighborhood kids had piles of translucent calcite crystals which were good for scratching hopskotch squares or messages on the sidewalks. The girls all had special weird looking fancy rocks for their personal tossing stones. Our dads built built backyard bbqs entirely out of odd looking rock formations. My dad found an old mill stone and built it into the front of the chimney. My mom was expert at detecting and cracking geodes exactly in perfect halves. Entire houses were built out of chert and flint stones. @@findingcolorfulrocks The calcite crystals and other strange stones were everywhere in the now-vanished Walking in the summer sun, the sidewalks reflected a thousand silvery points of light since they ground up the tailings piles for concrete aggregate, lead dust and all.

  @findingcolorfulrocks You'll have fun collecting many different kinds of rocks in utah. If you want gems or a bunch of Agates, we have a bunch of agate rock everywhere! Topaz, sun stone & Red Beryl are great gems to find. Lots of different kinds of Obsidian, too! I have lots of Obsidian. Black, snowflake & mahogany obsidian. I'm trying to find a Lot-O tumbler to polish them. But the Lot-O is hard to find!

We joked we want to close up go hunt with her. I love her shop and tell everyone about it. I work at a rock shop in Door County so I hope she gets some traffic from my suggestions!

  You can't find turquoise in Missouri. You have to go way out west in Arizona to find that. The colored rocks are just chert or flint, although Warsaw is really close to where you can find Mozarkite, so that particular chert there is closely related to Mozarkite.
