Just themselves, grit and water. I will let you know how it comes out. Then after they polish I have to drill a hole in the center with the dremel to finish.

@@MichiganRocks not good, most of the shore is private residential property and bluffs without any beach. The rocks are “clean fill” dumped to offset erosion. The UP shoreline on the big lake is has much better access and less people. Also I’m a total novice to rockhounding but my son who lives in Calumet is the knowledgeable one. A common find on the small beach near me are old red bricks with concrete filling that are polished by the waves to look like strange confectionary.

This is the earliest I have ever gotten up to Lake Superior, so I don't know what it's usually like this time of year. It has been a really cold spring where I live though. I assume it's the same up there. I wish I could get up there as soon as the ice is off the beach, but it's hard to know when that is when I live four hours away.

Do you have any plans for the big agate?

[@MichiganRocks]

I put mineral oil on it and that's how I plan to keep it.

Nice one , greetings from Sweden 👋

[@MichiganRocks]

I don't think I have many viewers from Sweden. That's fun that people from so far away watch my videos.

Hi... Beautiful area... TY

Wow! It looks cold! You are super brave to walk that beach in that weather! That big agate is super cool! You guys have the coolest rocks! Every rock is so colorful, and super pretty! Whether its collectable or not, they sure are pretty!

[@MichiganRocks]

I guess they're all collectable. Some are more sought after, but all that really matters is if you like it.
