Taylor it's not cold out until you get icicles on your mustache that freezes to your beard. The big one is awesome also the skip an atom will look beautiful when polished. Beautiful day at the lake I sure miss lake Superior. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.

Hi again TAYLOR Perfect example why on those great beaches with alot of water motion to check back regularly because that beach changes all the time! Great time of year too because there just aren't many people who will go out to hunt now. But great for you!!! That lovely ocean like water churns and churns and there's all kinds of agates just waiting to be found by you lol lol!! Thx as always but if you remember that area is some of my favorites and always will be even though it's been a long time now since I've been there. It's just great fun to tag along with you. Thx so much for making today possible. Catcha again next time...

I have a Scoopy. Not as cool as yours. Found mine in the pet department at Goodwill. It has an extend handle and a nice vented spoon.I have not taken it to the beach yet as we have been having King tides and a little too dangerous for this old (81) year old. What a beautiful agate you found, just wonderful.

We just have lots of jasper I found a bloodstone jasper with epidote I see those a lot and they take a good polish . Best of luck and I can’t wait to see what the storm turned up

Dude we were there On the 3rd too. We wanted to go further up but our kids got hungry. We came in from the south we almost made it to 42nd or the Lester. I thought about leaving you a message before we went. I kinda wish I did, because it was our first trip there and we could have met up with you. We are going on Wednesday again even with the 1* degree and -9 winds. I leave next Friday. Haha not sure we will make it out in the cold this weekend or not. Haha
