Forged in LAVA and Moved by Glaciers! Will I Find Lake Superior Agate?!

Hunting for Lake Superior Agate has been a bucket list item of mine for a LONG time. Michigan's Great Lakes are full of incredible treasures, and in my opinion the Lake Superior Agate is one of the most beautiful things you can find in the state! Will I find it?

Who was here when Kyle’s hair was short! Wow it’s really gotten long!!! Great video!!

[@WILDKYLE]

Thanks for being here that long! I need to do a timelapse type thing sometime of all my intros so we can watch the hair as it grows 😂

I was! Love his sexy long hair!

[@chrisbgifford7387]

Red and green rocks equal Christmas, so they are a gift!

[@elinkeykramme6511]

That is so cute 😀

[@Ontario_Rockhound]

The one at 9:28 looks like porphyry. And 4:04 looks like gneiss. Green in the great lakes usually means epidote and redish orange is usually either feldspar or jasper. At 10:43 I think it could be sun stone, a feldspar variation, it's got the right color and flashes. Number 4 is my favorite. Good agate finds. 👍

[@gingermackeen5741]

I haven't read all the comments, so someone has probably already told you the pink rock with the sheen is feldspar. That was a really nice big piece! #1 was my fav! Congrats on the nice agate!

[@angef9687]

The Unakite definitely speaks to you Kyle! You sounds just like I did back in June when I visited Lake Superior (Ontario, Canada) for the first time. You found some beautiful amygdaloidal basalt, gneis, banded iron and those gorgeous agates!!! I love hearing the excitement in your voice! Thank you for an amazing video sharing your adventures! If you're looking for some good reads in preparation of your next adventure to Lake Superior, I highly recommend "Lake Superior Agates: Field Guide by Bob & Dan Lynch," "Rocks & Minerals: A field guide to the Lake Superior area by Bob & Dan Lynch," and one that I know Taylor (aka Agate Dad) uses is "Collecting Agates and Jaspers of North America by Patti Polk"

#1, reminds me of sunshine 🌞

[@tuesdayfarmer1619]

Living the Dream! Traveling && Chasing rocks!! 🪨 🥰💕

[@WILDKYLE]

This trip was such a nice taste of what I hope to one day always be doing! Just traveling the world making videos of the incredible treasures that can be found and playing my music along the way!

[@brookewatts8892]

The pink one is my favorite! 😍

[@pbonniejean]

The best times to find agate are when the sun is really low, so that as you walk, you face the sun, and look down to see which rocks sparkle and are translucent.

[@mellomelo119]

#1 was beautiful ! You look to be having a great time !

[@markzinzilieta8927]

Nice agate !!! Keep having fun!

[@KitKat-br2kz]

You should get a box with a clear bottom when you can’t snorkel. Then you can see under the water without getting cold and wet. Love the rock hounding videos. Not much of they here in Hawaii. Livin’ vicariously thru you. Thank you so much!!!

[@sharonvanhine214]

Easy way to get shine on rocks without polishing, clear gloss spray paint. I'm a Michigander and that's what I do with my small Petoskey stones that I use in crafts (because I have tumbled them to nothing in the past!). Also works great for rocks you want to use in landscaping, makes them stand out even when not wet! But for jewelry you definitely would want to polish them :)

[@neffyoga]

Wild Kyle out here livin the dream 🙏

[@bethbranson9050]

A candy store to be sure!😉#4 Love the red and green with lines!

[@heathervannatter364]

Hey hey. Got to love all the gorgeous rocks in Michigan, our beaches are some of the best. Yeah im late to the party but just the same. Hope you truly enjoy your time here, come back anytime!!! Hahaha.

[@kellywion1464]

Love your Michigan videos! I can never get tired of Michigan rocks! Happy you found a couple of agates! Lortone tumblers are my favorite...you need to buy a book of Michigan rocks...very helpful! Love the green rocks! #2 and #6 are my favorite! Thanks for another great video!

[@susanbennett7643]

Four is my favorite!

[@tcbrantley03]

#2 is my fave ☺️ The agate is awesome also !

[@jeanettestefanik5854]

You found some really lovely Unikite

[@marybeth6272]

My fav rock was #1. Cool layers. That was so fun!

[@normawinton6832]

Morning as the suns coming up or towards evening as the suns going down. I love both of the agates especially the first one! I wondered where your mom was..tell her we enjoy her smiling 🌝

Nice agate

[@biophilialinnea]

number 4 is my fav and number 6 hahahaha being the amazing agate great video!

[@daydbaysinger4572]

Number 1 was my favorite

[@tjzambonischwartz]

That agate at the end is marvelous. Just a perfect little specimen. I'm 95% sure the banded rock at 5:38 is a variety of Serpentine. A family member just bought a piece the other day at a rock shop that looked very similar.

[@clintonmorris8222]

Keep Walking 😎👍

[@amandapurves3529]

Number 3 is my favorite

[@chrisbgifford7387]

I liked the gorgeous pink one from earlier the very best.

[@TiffYG2133]

I liked #2 but the first one you kept was a close second! They were all pretty rocks!

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Spectacular rocks. Please show them tumbled on a later video😀 A tumbler and a rock saw next. Number three.

[@exile4life174]

Always a thrill finding video notifications for your channel even if the notifications are late lol. Great video as always bud

[@tashacherry1480]

Michigan is awesome rock hounding. We have agate, Petoskey stones, blues, lightning stones, and yooperlites, and many many more as you can clearly see

[@Elizabeth_Rojas]

They are all beautiful but I like #2❤✌

[@jodiejensen-feist9874]

Awesome day to rock hound! Great finds!!!

[@daniellevanbeck9484]

Number 3 is my favorite! Im pretty sure its a LSA! It definitely has the certain characteristics I look for when agate hunting. Either way I hope you had an amazing trip here in my home state!

[@amandabecker5101]

So beautiful 😻

[@lindaeads7536]

The beaches at Lake Superior are the mother lode. So many beautiful rocks! Thanks, Kyle!

[@jolenecarley3154]

That flashy one is it moonstone maybe? Great video! Super relaxing and so much eye candy!!

[@karynbrown7519]

Number 4 for me. I really hope you took home a bucket full of beautiful rocks for your garden. Glad you found your agates!

[@neliac1314]

Thanks for showing us. I love rocks also. Favorite #4

[@tashacherry1480]

16:15 ! Yes see the husk is still on it

[@tashacherry1480]

I've seen 3 Petoskey stones which are absolutely beautiful when they're polished

[@lisawilson3759]

Number one for sure!

[@momseajay]

My fave is the pink 💗 rock you found!! The "flash" is called chatoyancy. The material is feldspar! It might be a moonstone!! Soweet!! BTW, you walked over about 5 agates! Lol!! Of the numbered rocks my fave is #1! Also, my favorite tumbler is MJR Tumbler, or Thumblers Tumbler!

[@catherinewilliams3850]

Oh what gorgeous colours and patterns in those rocks, out of th 5 you picked at the end 4 was my favourite

[@robbybobby6483]

Nothing like a rock beach. Each one is cooler than the last. Great stuff Kyle. I like number 3.

[@iloveR66]

Loved #1!

[@robbybobby6483]

Arcadia national park in Maine has an area called thunderhole, the beach has huge Boulder sized rock like this all polished by the ocean. Colors are crazy.

[@kittygreenleaf427]

#1. Another great video!

[@tobersoutdooradventures6899]

Welcome to my home. You did good! I find 1 agate for about every 20 hours of searching.

[@stinkygraykitty6808]

Lake Superior Agates are the kryptonite of the Forest Children! Get as much as possible!!! ;)

[@donnabeaudin9114]

Such beautiful rocks!! I liked #1 of the numbered pieces. That small triangular brown colored stone looked like a guitar pick! 😃 I did research on tumblers, and bought my first one last year, it’s a Thumlers Tumbler. Works real well, whatever tumbler you choose, I’d go for one that spins 2 barrels at once! Those agates are gorgeous, such a good day! 👍

[@JimHerbertOutdoors]

Been loving all these recent U.P videos ✌ Just found my 1st agates up there this spring, takes a good eye to spot one out of all those rocks.

[@tammyskelton6056]

Rock number 4. :)

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

Welcome Home Kyle. We love to have you back. Even if its only for a few days. Enjoy the Lakes and do some camping if you can. Mosquitos are down some due to all the rain making the puddles fresh not stagnant. Ticks however are way up. So many great stones/So little time. Tumble anything you like. the smooth ones work best.

[@amandaredden6179]

I liked rock #4. Glad you found a couple of agates to take home.

[@sharlenesharp3644]

Number three. So glad you enjoyed my state. Spent a lot of my childhood up north in the copper county. Love your videos.

[@sandmaker]

I love the jaspers and all the fun rocks. Sorry you couldn't find a rock as big as your head. #1 was pretty cool. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

[@laurat5143]

I loved both the agates, and the one rock with the yellow dots 💛.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

If I lived near lake Superior, I'd have to have a dump truck go bring all the pretty stones home! Congrats on the beautiful agates, Kyle! I really liked the #2 stone!❤️

[@JH-fx8tu]

Really enjoyed the video. My favorite rock out of the 5 is #1.

[@lfurches]

number 2 rock is my fave. great vid. cheers!

[@michellestenton6430]

Great video Kyle. The bands in LSA are amazing aren’t they. Very few spots in Ontario Canada, on Lake Superior to find agates because of the glacial activity and sending them to the states BUT they can be found ( shush, secret spots) Thank you for taking us along on this adventure.

[@eileen.333]

St Joseph Island by chance? Warm or cold? 😅

[@michellestenton6430]

@@eileen.333 possibly 😉. Also around the Wawa area and a bit of a road trip past Thunder Bay.

[@ashleeoconnor4789]

I grew up in Duluth Minn, right on Lake Superior and personally I’ve noticed the best places to find agates are on dirt roads. Growing up I had jars and jars of them!

[@leighanncronin6905]

Beautiful finds Kyle! I'd be picking up a lot more than you! Yes, snorkeling would be cool! Next week, I'll be at my paradise, Casey Key, and will be shelling for a week!🥰

[@reneecolman1450]

Hey kyle my rock pick is number 2. Take care

[@bryanbressem5026]

Lot of leaverite, green means epidote, surprised your didn't find banded iron,just remember people have been picking since people first came to these shores, so the pickings have been picked over, best best are sand pits and those newly caved in beach walls, cheers from MN

[@AngieDoesStuff]

I literally screamed 'yay' for you when you found the first agate! The further discussion of head-sized agate sounds like every conversation I've had with myself as I'm rock hunting, so yeah...I get it. How in the WORLD did you not have to rent a UHaul to take all the rocks home? I liked #4 but #6 was better!

[@divingwithmicheleinvirgini7957]

Rock # 4 was my favorite. In 2015 I was camping in Taqumonon Falls campground for a week. I went to Whitefish Pointe and spent all day collecting rocks, I was so obsessed that I went back 2 more times. I must of brought home over 60 Lbs of rocks. I need to go back and do it again. I sprayed some of them with a clear acrylic to bring out the color. Love seeing you up there.

[@brendadeason9456]

#6 The Lake Superior Agate!

[@markattardo]

Awesome area to walk. Finding cool rocks is like icing on the icing. Nice finds.👍👍

[@sarajane9434]

Never met a rock I didn’t like but #1 is my fav. Amazing!

[@barbymccain2436]

I like the pink rock and the one you found right after it, wow!!!!! 🥰❤️

Ledaledaa can’t talk -Wildkyle 2021

[@dawnf8410]

Hey Kyle, it was so nice to meet you and your mom at Fort Gratiot a few weeks ago. According to your buddy Rob, best time to hunt for agate is in the morning when the sun is coming up. Apparently when the sun hits the agate, they glow ♥️

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Dude finding one bigger than your head IS attainable! That was my goal for the piece in my profile picture. After finding that I decided it was time to start a rockhounding channel

[@406findings]

Come to Montana and you will find agates the size of your head on the Yellowstone river 👍and get Thumblers Tumbler brand they are very reliable and durable.

[@TheMagickhands]

#5 has a petrified wood look to it.

[@yankeetimeline]

Lortone makes great reliable rock tumblers.

[@lilimander_rake]

So many beautiful rocks!!!

[@marthafenimore4279]

#2 Love rocks.

[@RagnarRocks]

You've done it! Congratulations, lovely agates! You also found a bunch of really nice Unakite (the pink and green).

[@benstrelo7805]

I heard rocks with the lines going all the way through it are good luck

[@maryoneill5070]

I like #1&2

[@truckerenoch8824]

The one @ 2:28 looks like stromatolite jasper, which is 2.2 billion year old fossilized algae. There is some found in dolomite near Marquette called "kona dolomite", which is absolutely stunning. Scientists looking at a wafer thin piece under an electron microscope found a single cell in the process of mitosis that is over 2 billion years old. 🤯

[@darlameyer5936]

I've never had any desire to go to Michigan until I started watching your videos. Lol. I love that green rock you picked up at the very beginning and that pink shiny one was pretty unique. Thanks

[@RockhoundTreasurehunt]

Coral fossil rocks are always cool to find! Another great day Rockhounding
