BOTTOMLESS PIT IN MICHIGAN?! Lake Huron Kayaking, Fossil Hunting, Rock Hunting, and Exploring!

Hey y'all! Thanks for being here and watching this video. Don't forget to check out Rob's video linked at the end of the video to see his perspective of our day. Here is a link to his channel! kzbin.info

Hi super cool just found your channel I live in the mitt, awesome state! Suggestion show where in Mitt your at, Lake Huron is quite large.... Much love💗💗💗

[@djjinerson]

Much love from the Glove 🧤. Whenever I’m in the UP (upper peninsula) I just feel so alive, clean, and healthy…(in the summer) as I look at the vast expanse of pine from the uninhabited white sandy beach shoreline I can just envision the land occupied by the Native American Indians. Much of the land probably looks no different now than it did way back then. Lake Superior is so beautiful and clean…..cold and dangerous though….

[@heathervannatter364]

Michigan is just an amazing state!! So many places to explore and just gorgeous sceneries with a depth of history. I love my home!. Hope you enjoyed your time here.

[@onlyfacts7816]

I love Michigan but big pharma is there and our great natural resources are attracting corrupt people from everywhere. I hope we don't see giant influxes of people migrating to such a beautiful state.

[@gregoryk.9815]

Yes just to bad we have Detroit and a governor that is not good

It's fun looking at your take on the day. You sure did focus on those brachiopods that I skipped right past. It was fun reliving the whole day. I have to say that was one of the most beautiful and enjoyable days of the summer so far. I have looked at the picture I have of that Petoskey Stone several times since you left. That's a beauty!

[@laurieowen8696]

Rob, how did that 5lb pudding stone fall out of your pocket???😆

[@aChickenDinner]

I live on the west side of the Mitten and an abandoned property (for 15 plus years) across the road from me has a decorative rock bed with hundreds of Petoskey and Charlevoix stones along with a LOT of the names you dropped that I am unfamiliar with. We have rescued most of the recognizable fossils (there is construction happening and the stones are being buried/ removed) but I am wanting now to go back and save some of the other things! I believe I have seen lots of Gowanda as well

Do you know who owns the lot, I'm in the village copemish in manistee County a few miles south of you, and I've been looking for any affordable lahousing, one of the things I've learned before is that some of the best deals are found with abandoned lots. I'm looking to buy some land, move my business there, build a modest home, and be a real.part of the community. Anyone in the north western Michigan that can give me a lead, or a chance to be part of a get shit done, help eachorher out, community, count me in, ill be you huklebearrer. I wo t contribute to any people that live with famine mentality. There's what a man can do and what and can't do. Blaming others with different ideas for your lack of success, or for your fear, I don't want any part of that sickness.

If that chain coral fossil is silica I would throw it in some muriatic acid to dissolve the limestone host rock. I've seen some folks do that and they turn out AWESOME! As long as the coral is silica... lol be careful.

That was a super cool adventure. Im so glad you and Rob are able to hook up and collab for videos often. They always end up super fun. That huge sink hole was amazing from the drone shot! Man, its massive and deep! You really have no idea until you see it from above! And those pudding stones and petoskey stones and banded chert were awesome! And the petoskey you polished was amazing! You did a great job on the polishing too! Fun times! Hope your moms and fam are all doing well. Thanks for sharing!

Welcome to the channel Mary! Thank you for being here :)

[@tashacherry1480]

That Petoskey was stunning. My daughter's BFF and her family moved to Jordan and before leaving I polished her and her 2 siblings some Petoskey stones and made them all key chains that said "A piece of home forever near" Civil War broke out in Jordan just 2 years after they moved there so they returned Petoskey stones in tow.

That was pretty cool Kyle , I liked the sinkhole , that was cool from above . and the polishing worked out very well .another great time with Mr Michigan Rocks , great colabs . Cheers my friend

OMG! The water is crystal clear, the fossils and stones are amazing! When you dropped that first horn coral down, my jaw dropped. Then you gave warning you would be doing that, and I wondered why you weren't putting them in the kayak, and soon you did. 😀 I don't know how many times I said OMG at the fossils!! This is a bucket list place to go but I would need a seperate boat to fill up with all those GREAT rocks!!! When a guy stops and admires the flowers with this much gorgeous rocks around - that's a special guy! You rock Kyle!!!

[@songbirdscreations-MargaretS]

Really enjoyed your video! I always watch Rob's videos because I am a MI girl. I am always yelling at him, "Ooo! Pick that one up!" Sometimes he hears me!😉 (usually not) It was fun watching the same beach/rocks from your point of view. You picked up a bunch that I definitely would have!

[@reginapaluchniak986]

Amazing shot from above of the sink hole .. thanks Michigan Rob.. what great adventures you two are going on !!

[@angelgreen3532]

That Petoskey that you said wasn't a good one to polish would actually polish AMAZINGLY. The pattern goes all the way through. Remember to hand polish petoskeys because they're VERY soft.

I have found several cool coral fossils on Lake Huron myself. Looks like you all had a blast out in the kayaks. Glad you found some keepers. I would love the chance to meet you someday when you are in Michigan. Just to say hi and how much I love your channel too. Can't wait to see your next adventure.

Greatest Adventure! Thanks so much Rob! The fossils were to die for! 🤯🤩. This episode was so packed full of greatness. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful adventure. Stay Crystal 💫 Mari

[@Davett53]

Yeah Cool! I have visited Michigan a few times, in my youth. In the 1970s, in Ann Arbor. Back then there was a nice, large, natural lake, on one side of town. I have this sick feeling they drained it & filled it in, because they wanted build more housing & apartments. We went there another time, and the whole lake had been drained,....We goofed around & went treasure hunting, under all the boat docks. We found many keys, coins, & sunglasses from every era. A few semi-collectible items, like old lighters, wood fishing lures, kids toys. The lake bed was still spongy to walk on which felt bizarre underfoot, but it was not muddy at all.

[@mikepetrucha2774]

You need to take that giant Gowganda Tillite out in the water and put it in your yard back in Florida.

[@scottmeacham1738]

Wow! What a great video, Kyle! I would like to have just some of what you throw back. Nice to see Rob, also. I love Kayaking too! A lot easier than dragging a heavy canoe through the woods and shallows. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

Loved the paddling drone shots!!!!!!!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

I learned that the great lakes sit in a giant dolomite bowl basically. The area used to be an ocean. There are massive salt deposits under the lakes! So crazy! In my mind water dissolves salt, but that's the power of dolomite! LOL Sure is some tough stuff to break! I find awesome trilobite fossils in dolomite in Grafton Illinois with my buddy Jeff HuntingRocks channel.

[@manisteerocks7092]

Yes..in fact..and underneath that is all salt..allllll salt

There are salt mines under us. From Detroit to at least Ypsilanti. And we he ave tunnels running to Detroit River above them from the prohibition days.

[@manisteerocks7092]

First time viewing but always interested in rocks. I once found a rock, brown in color, about 3 inches long with 3 sides, one flat and two slightly rounded. Fit in hand very well. It was covered with what looked like dozens or hundreds on indents the shape of small fingernail imprints. Have no idea what it was. Found in creek bed in Tennessee.
