ah the first snow rock hunt of the year up on the north shore of minnesota so
excited to see we can find in lake superior today we're looking for anything and everything lake
superior rocks related so i got my waders on i got scoopy and we're gonna head into
the lake and see what we can find that's a pretty nice snow angel check out scoopys
what a guy so it looks like we got our first bigger find right there but as i've been
walking for about a hundred feet i have found a few smaller agates and this one right here
has some nice white bands on it but we'll grab that jasper what i believe is jasper right there
oh yeah some nice red olytic jasper that's pretty that's pretty cool
yeah i like that
just spotted something else it's right at a tip of scoopy here i have found mary ellen jasper
on these beaches so i'm thinking that that's what this is based off of its coloring but most likely
that's hard to say does have some coming at some of that swirling going on right here
but the backside doesn't convince me that it is it's still a really unique piece
that's pretty cool alrighty i think right here it's oh no i lost my bag
anyways um right here is white
and it looks purple so i think it might be some amethyst oh it's got some host rock on the back
it's very very light very beach worn probably at the end of its road there that's pretty
cool though all right i can see it really well it's right there it's a lake superior agate and
let's see as far as size it's decent it's pretty good for uh this time of year it's
the end of the year and we just got snow so not a ton of people are gonna be out here
oh yeah oh it's got fragmented membrane going on up here some quartz beautiful bands oh
that is so pretty that coloring though oh it feels good it's been a while i've come out a
few times and i've been skunked unfortunately and as you can see with scoopy's collar there
had some technical difficulties with his head falling off
so this is a really fun win oh that is pretty sweet i can see some minnesota pudding stone
right here really excited looks like a decent sized piece it's wedged in there
oh yeah that's a nice piece of minnesota pudding stone oh wow
i found here a couple of what i would kind of call thunder egg agates kind
of agates stuck in host rock and then right there it's not glowing because there's not
a hole actually i think there's another one
over there a little little
yeah it's not the it's not a very high quality one it's probably more
considered to kill sydney but throw them in the bag so i'm primarily doing my waiting in
the lake because that's the best chances to find bigger stuff but up on the shore here's
all these little itty bitty things and uh yeah if i just look around you can find a whole bunch of
nodules and just little little bits i just saw one over here of course now i can't see
it do me like that so we got ourselves a few more agates here this guy it's pretty beach
horn this is a saganite agate is not an agate but i thought that was kind of pretty really
cool and then this beautiful orange carnelian nodule that's pretty neat and then down here
like right there and then over here i know there's jasper and then it looks like
i found a few possible agates it's you can't see it but anyways i'll grab it and i'll show you
it looks like a possible agate but we'll grab it and i spotted another possible agate right
here so i'll grab that first looks like agate on host rock put that on the bag the jasper here
yep
it doesn't look like it looks like it's got some some stuff i won't keep that but
some nice little jasper there
keep this throw it in the bag
so we found a few more goodies here some may get on top of post rock really beach horn beach horn
a couple uglies and uh this one's kind of tricking me i'm not sure if it's an agate or not
it would probably be one that we cut down the road
looks like some beach worn quartz that's pretty cool
i just scooped this up not thinking it was anything and because of the light it might
be really hard for you to tell but it's a piece of mary ellen jasper it's got these
really beautiful swirrels in it and everything oh that is so cool the last thing is scooped up
right before that i found this little quartz and mega bands with some limonite
and uh and i wanted to show you again my favorite find from today is this fragmented membrane
kind of nodule thing with beautiful bands on it oh it's so pretty that is so cool
you know we didn't find the most in like the size department but we found a lot of goodies
and uh i really appreciate you guys taking along leave a like on today's video
and check out one of these videos thanks for watching bye
