February Rockhounding: Lake Erie

Winter rockhounding is limiting because of ice and snow and frigid temperatures but with unseasonably warm weather it was time to hit the beach. This is a new to me beach. Lake Erie. Geneva State Park in Ohio. Beautiful blue slag, fossils, colorful rocks everywhere. #rockhounding #rocks #fossils #greatlakes #lakeerie #minerals #granite #feldspar #epidote #unakite #beaches

Hey Tim! I’m a rock-hounder who lives on Lake Erie near GOTL!

[@timtalksaboutrocks....most6644]

Well, you are one fortunate lady. I am only an hour away from Lake Erie but I don't get there as often as I would like.

[@FeelinFroggyFinds]

931 is probably honeycomb coral. I find a lot of it in Lake Erie

[@lacrosseguy108]

im on the canadian side of lake erie and at our camp beach every year we find tons and tons of sea glass and fossils, if it storms youll find alot of sea glass washed up different colors too!

[@timtalksaboutrocks....most6644]

Thanks for watching and commenting. That is amazing that you find so much glass. There are so many people looking for it on our beaches that I find very little. Where do you think it is all coming from, our side or your side?

[@lacrosseguy108]

@@timtalksaboutrocks....most6644 i hear about all the people that come down to our beach too just to look for glass. i wondered for some years now where it might all come from and im not too sure whos side it could be lol

9:45 is very interesting looking ! Got to admit, I am loving the wave sounds :) So many great finds on Lake Erie. Enjoyed the rock hunt😊

[@timtalksaboutrocks....most6644]

That fossil at 9:45 is broken at a weird angle so ID is tough. It is for sure Rugose type coral but I need to sand it down to get a good look at the pattern.

My hometown. I’ve got SO many fossils here. 🥹😊

I’ve driven from Warren, OH up to Ashtabula Walnut Beach Park just to walk the beach and look at rocks. Beach glass too

[@timtalksaboutrocks....most6644]

Thanks for watching and commenting. What is your favorite Lake Erie beach?

[@Gr8ca9]

I only get to Ashtabula. I tried Geneva once and drove all the way up….only to find out it was motorcycle weekend and there was a mile of bikes parked side by side, both sides of the road. Holy cow.

[@timtalksaboutrocks....most6644]

@@Gr8ca9 that is a lot of motorcycles! Hopefully you will make it back on a non-motorcycle weekend.

[@Gr8ca9]

@@timtalksaboutrocks....most6644 Definitely. There are a couple of good restaurants I want to try.

[@adamhuze]

We will have to visit that beach

[@timtalksaboutrocks....most6644]

It is a great one for rockhounding. There is also sand. Rocky by the water, sandy away from the water.

[@kenmaxwell9435]

[@timtalksaboutrocks....most6644]

[@kevinmiller39]

[@timtalksaboutrocks....most6644]

It is a great beach. We were there again today.
