Kingsley North is a lapidary store in Michigan's U.P. They make a great cab machine and sell many other brands too. They have a huge selection rough rock, tumblers, grit, jewelry supplies etc. at good prices. I buy most of my coarse grit from here in 45 lb. bags. It's the best price I have found. If you buy using the following link, I make a small commission.

Started picking agates here as a child, over 70 years ago. Mostly they were the size of a dime, rarely larger. Came home with jars full. Most colorful beach in Michigan. Icy deep water. Family favorite for several generations.

We only used our generator 1x when cloudy and rained for days. Once battery was charged turned off. Then going out rockhounding and coming back to a good book and warmth is nice.

My favorite piece of banded iron was the first rock I found at LGP. It was so brilliant and differentiated that you couldn't miss it from ten yards away. It looked like one of those velvet ants that we have down our way. It's about the size of my thumb. I also found some pieces maybe even better there, as far as size, but the first one told me that I had arrived at a great place after an eleven-hour drive from home. I left at 4:30 am and got to the beach at 3:30pm. I was staying in Ironwood but I went directly to the LGP beach and had so much fun that I stayed there another whole day.

I tried to get this one out on Friday but I have been camping and didn't have good internet. There was actually WiFi at the campground I was staying at, but the upload speeds were extremely slow. So I went to the library to try and the Internet was just as slow. I was only able to upload about 1% of my video in half an hour.

Rob, I see where you are traveling across the UP. If you happen to go near Calumet I thoroughly recommend stopping to talk to Alex @ Rock Pickers Paradise. He is in his 80's and has been prospecting, mining & collecting rocks his entire life and is the most knowledgable person I have met. And one other comment, I have never heard you speak about collecting near Marquette or else I missed it. One of my favorite beaches is the area just West of Black Rocks. Almost every rock is beautiful there. Good luck.
@MichiganRocks
@MichiganRocks Жыл бұрын
My sister lives in Lake Linden, so I'm in that area almost every summer. I'll stop in and talk to Alex next time I'm there. I've been to that store before, but I think it was a woman working there. It's been a few years, so I might be remembering wrong. I have not picked rocks much in the Marquette area, although my mom and another sister both live there and I visit several times each year. I hunted between Presque Isle and Picnic Rocks, closer to Picnic Rocks. I have not hunted on Presque Isle. Is the beach you're talking about on Presque Isle? I'll be sure to check that out. I have looked for possible hunting locations there, but just haven't found much.

@@MichiganRocks Yes, out at the very end of Presque Isle. As you come around the bend in the road there is a gravel drive leading you down to a parking area @ Black Rocks. If you walk straight north there are 5 coves just to the West of Black Rocks. Also, if you have a boat or take your Kayak out around the seawall & light and come straight back into the beach you shall find 3 or 4 sea caves that are also fantastic. And finally, if you go out to Partridge Island there is also fantastic hunting there. I found a 4 pound Agate of a lifetime there just off the East side shoreline. There are no trespassing signs on the Island, but I just stay out in the water area.

What an awesome trip! Love all the rocks you pick up ! I’m also learning. I’ve bought some agate from up there and I now know some of it is banded iron lol. It’s beautiful nice to know what it is I’m buying lol. They look a lot a like . Thanks for always sharing with us! Be safe

Banded iron doesn't really look that much like agate once you know what they both look like.

My husband and I have a cabin on Lake Road, very close to Little Girl's Point. I've found lots of beautiful rocks on that beach through the years--Lots of Yooperlites, banded chert, epidote, agates, unakite, all sizes of banded iron, and lots of Omars. We find more agates when we take our boat out to beaches that is inaccessible by land.

Yeah, I hear this beach gets hammered, so I'm not too surprised that I didn't find agates. Getting to less accessible beaches is definitely the way to go.

Beautful stream & hillside at 10:20, but the erosion is profound throughout the shoreline. The banded iron formation you found at 8:38 & the one afterwards was really nice. Muddy waters always make it frustrating. Interesting location. Kept looking for agates along with you. Hello to Nancy.

Michigan Rock's no doubt, if there was ever any. On lake Michigans beaches the flavors of rocks are many. Perhaps not to the taste of each, yet we take you to a different beach. The far western U.P. offers tasty treats in it's ev'ry nook and cranny!
