Hey there, today i'm at Fort Gratiot at County Park near Port Huron, Michigan.
It's about 35 degrees today so I thought I'd get out in the beach before it gets cold.
I didn't realize until I got home that my external microphone was unplugged from my
camera while recording this. The wave sounds are really loud and my voice is muffled.
I just thought I'd let you know that it's that way throughout the whole video.
I thought that was a piece of unakite but I guess it's not. Still a pretty rock though.
Everything's pretty small right here. There's some bigger rocks out here but the water's real murky.
It's not rough out there if the waves are breaking close to the shore. Big freighter out there
and pretty rock right here.
Here's a horn coral.
Broken. Nice on that side though.
I want to call that a Petoskey stone, but it doesn't look quite right.
Some sort of a coral fossil though.
A piece of beach glass there.
Oops,
there goes my bucket.
I'm not sure if it's green all the way through or if it's just stained green.
It's kind of hard to tell. Pretty color though.
Just found a little pudding stone. See if it's any good.
Nope a little bit of jasper. I did meet a lady on the beach when I first got here who
was looking for a pudding stone so I'll throw that in my bucket and see if she wants it.
It's a little different than where I'm used to hunting, lots of houses,
beach is kind of sandy. This rock's kind of pretty. I walked past a bunch
of break walls. If I wasn't wearing waders, it would have been a problem.
I just scooped up a little tiny pudding stone.
Well, I've walked as far as this monstrosity. I'm not sure what that's hauling out of the
water but.. so it's time to turn back because all I'm seeing are little tiny stones and sand.
For some reason the yellow rocks keep grabbing my attention today. Usually, it's green rocks.
Hey, I found a Petoskey stone!
If you look really closely,
you can see that it's a Petoskey, not a keeper though. Oh well, at least I found one.
That's another partial Petoskey
Nothing on the back.
But, uh, they have Petoskey stones here. There's pudding stones here.
I think this may be a little picked over compared to what I'm used to.
There's a nice green one.
Pretty color of orange.
I'm trying to get a rock. There we go! That's a cool looking rock. That might be my favorite one so far.
Probably the best Petoskey stone I've found. Oop, there's another Petoskey stone.
Yay! I'm finding rocks all of a sudden.
This one little area is really good.
Not the most picturesque place to find a Petoskey stone but here's one. Oh, nice one! Yay, winner!
I'll take that one home.
Get it in the sun a little bit, if the sun would come out.
Pretty rock.
Couldn't tell you exactly what that is, but i like it.
There we go with the yellow again. That's the yellowest.
I might take that one home and tumble it. I'm not sure, have to think about it.
Yes, I know it's granite, but kind of a pretty granite, little green spot on top.
Back in it goes though.
Look at that fossil
between, uh, between waves. Kind of neat.
Flip that over.
Ooh, that's really neat!
Fun one!
Finding some rocks!
I'm back very close to the park now.
I found another little pudding stone.
Just kicked this splotchy brown rock out of the water. Kind of interesting. Wish I could get the rocks
in the sun a little more for you but it's not very sunny today. Every once in a while it peeks out.
There are a lot of rocks here , they're just out in the water
and it's kind of hard to see with it all stirred up today.
This would be a much better place on a calm day.
This has been fun! If you got cold watching this video, I'll link a
summertime beach video for you here so you can warm up. See you over there!
