The Guardian of Lake Superior Agates - Rockhounding the North Shore of Minnesota

[@EricTheCat]

Once at Lake Superior I found a crayfish laying on its back. I helped flip it back over and then it picked up a nice piece of jasper and held it up in its claw.

[@rodenbergrocks]

Maybe they are just helpful little guys who like the pretty rocks like everyone else 😂

What a fun mix of finds! Great video! Thank you. 🙂

[@rodenbergrocks]

Thanks Tracy ☺️

[@greig64]

Waving back to Lake Superior! 👋🏻

[@rodenbergrocks]

A lovely beach to myself!

[@kengensjewelry]

Very fierce, that crayfish. I mean, look at it's bone structure! hehe I'm glad you braved the waves and wildlife for those fantastic finds.

[@rodenbergrocks]

Crayfish are tough cookies! Sometimes you have to go through it to grow through it 😂

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

👋🏻 Hi Lake! I really like your "Van Gogh" rock! The lake gave you a nice variety on this hunt. I hope we'll get to see some of the cutting you'll be doing. Thank you for the fun!

[@rodenbergrocks]

Variety it gave me indeed!! I have been a little behind on my rock cutting because I need a place to be okay with getting messy 😂 shortly there will be more of it!

[@maryfroelich977]

The overlapping wave phenomenon you referred to at 9:38 is indicative of a RIP current. Be careful in the water when its present..RIP currents are responsible for most drownings on Lake Michigan.

[@rodenbergrocks]

I will make sure to not mess with it! The Lake is so mighty that I do not want to make her mad!

[@roman11469]

Nice finds! I want to see those cutters cut!

[@rodenbergrocks]

They will be cut very soon ☺️

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

I hope you have a video of cutting those 5 rocks. I'm really curious as well if they are agates. Nice finds! 😊

[@rodenbergrocks]

I will be creating a video shortly cutting these stones :)

[@michelleangers342]

That might be a piece of Leland Blue!

[@rodenbergrocks]

Can you find Leland blue in Lake Superior?

[@abbyW]

11:45 could it be slag glass?

[@rodenbergrocks]

That may be the best bet!

[@nhrockaholic6038]

11:54. Is that slag or Leland blue?

[@rodenbergrocks]

I think you are right with slag! We don’t get Leland blue up where I am from!

[@aqua1082]

If that's a crayfish, I'm wonder woman 🦸‍♀️🤣😂🤣. His crawdaddy must be Poseidon. King Triton is welcoming you with a sweet ass agate 🎉🎉🎉.

[@rodenbergrocks]

It was very kind of him to do so 😂 even if I was spooked!

[@therockgarden1]

The blue rock is probably slag glass? Like Leland Blue, only on Superior instead of Michigan.

[@rodenbergrocks]

I have had a couple people also say that it is slag, like Leland blue. Pretty unique to find in Superior!

[@ColleenVandeway]

Do you prefer looking in wet rocks or dry?

[@rodenbergrocks]

It’s easier to see when they are wet, but I feel that most people don’t look at the dry stuff so I try and do a combination of both! Depends if it is sunny or not too!

[@aqua1082]

If that's a crayfish then I'm wonder 🦸‍♀️ woman 🤣. He's on steroids 💪, he ate some bad escargot ☢️ or that lobster 🦞 took a wrong turn somewhere...

[@rodenbergrocks]

He took a wrong turn at the fork in the lake 😂 not sure how he ended up there!

[@aqua1082]

@rodenbergrocks to bad I can't attach photos to comments. Found marry ellen in a river/creek today. I think thats what it is,right next to a huge football size crystal with a little agate swirl. I have it soaking right now. I hope the football shows tons of agate swirls.
