Hey everyone
Sam and I are back at Vermillion Point we were here this afternoon, and now
we're back in the evening, it's about
an hour and a half before it gets dark
and we're going to be looking for glowing rocks, they're cyanite with
sodalite
sometimes referred to as Yooperlites
so we'll hunt some agates on the way, walk down the beach, and then we'll
walk back after dark
well we walked way down the beach hoping to walk back into the sun
and some of the little agates just glow when you're walking into the sun, but
it's almost a completely clear sky except right where the sun is there's some clouds
so this isn't working out so well for us
but it's almost dark, we should be able to start finding Yooperlites soon
we have found a few little agates along the way
the sun is setting, and
(Sam) Just found a little weirdly eroded rock
looks like this layer is softer than that
top and bottom
(Rob) that's a fun shape
(Sam) yeah
(Rob) well it's
pretty dark out now, and Sam just found the first one, just a little tiny guy here
let me get a little closer
I don't think they look any better when they're wet
(Sam) it was ok
(Rob) nice job
I just found my first one
it's not a very
very good one, not lots of orange, but it's definitely a Yooperlite
Sam just found another one, get your light a little closer
looks good
well there's one of the better ones we've found so far
nice little guy
really glows, I just love those things
looks like little embers
just found another one
okay, we're out here, met a couple other people on the beach, and
he's camera shy, but he just found one, so
that's a nice one, nice stripes
thanks
Sam has just found another one
flip her over, Sam
(Sam) a little sandy
(Rob) yeah
nice little guy
(Sam) found another one right here too, oh yeah
(Rob) those are so fun
Sam just found a nice one
that's really covered isn't it
nice
it's not just the Yooperlites that glow
sticks really glow
alright, Trish says she's not camera shy, and she just found one
(Trish) that's little, pretty
(Rob) it is pretty
(Trish) yeah, it's little but it's pretty
(Rob) pretty nicely covered
nice
that's cool looking, flip her over
(Rob) that side's not quite as good, but (Trish) pretty one
(Rob) yeah that is a pretty one
almost looks like little
leaf patterns on there or something
little crayfish that apparently glow also
that's fun
alright, check that out
red something or other
we don't know what it's called?
that's really interesting
really
really glows
so you said in the daytime it's just sort of grey?
yeah brownish grey
-that's neat -I don't know what it is but it's a
pretty rock at night
yeah
thanks for showing me
Sam has made a gruesome discovery
we- it's a skull of some sort, maybe a squirrel?
(Sam) yeah, let me grab it
got little teeth, grr
(Rob) [laughs]
I'm guessing a squirrel
alright so, squirrel skulls also glow
a big one
in the water here
wow
that's a beauty
yeah, it's pretty
nice find
well there's our finds
not very many big ones, but they're pretty
that's for the four of us that were hunting together
it was fun finding them
alright, it's kind of breezy out here
if you missed the video last year where Sam and I got some, actually it was a
couple years ago
check that out, and I've also got a video showing how we
tumbled some of them and they turned out really good, and I made some fridge magnets
with my son-in-law, this is Trish by the way
she was out hunting with us
and Mr. Camera Shy's holding the camera
see you next time
