Rob I found this lesson in geology fascinating!! At 70, I still have so much to learn about rocks. I've always looked at rocks and wondered what they went through to form them into what we see when we find them. Growing up, we always looked for Lake Superior Agates. Your channel has helped me to gain appreciation for other rocks!

@@MichiganRocks I've learned a lot from you too!! You were literally the first channel that I found that renewed my interest in rock hounding and lapidary work. You also introduced me to Agate Dad, Wild Kyle and now Paul and Nat. I'm struggling with lower back issues right now and haven't been able to get out on the beaches of late but I am hoping for late September after my therapy is finished. You keep me excited about what's out there to find when I'm up and at it again. Dude, you're the GOAT! ☺

My fiancé got his Masters in geology (studied geography as an undergrad) and he loves it when I show you his videos! He grew up within spitting distance of Lake Michigan and I went to school in Duluth and, suffice it to say, we both LOVE the Great Lakes and love looking at Lake Michigan from a different perspective (as well as Lake Huron)!!

this was fantastic! both are very knowledgeable & great at explaining how/what/why. what a great idea to have geologists on a rock hunt. brilliant! but i enjoy your enthusiasm on a regular basis. having experts is good on an occasional basis. btw the spotty rock at 11:50 is gorgeous. at 14:40 this reminds me of a gustav klimt painting. 17:20 is stunning but somehow nightmarish. there’s a slimy creature wrapping itself around the pale stone. lots of great examples today. i’m def going to watch again
