THIS is why Michigan Rock Hunting at NIGHT is so Incredible! UV Light Reveals Secrets in the Stones

Bringing a UV light out at night can reveal a whole new world! In this case, while I was up in Michigan I went to the beaches of Lake Superior at night on the search for stones commonly called "Yooperlites". These are syenite rocks with fluorescent sodalite in them that creates the beautiful orange glow when shining a 365 Nanometer UV light on them. Enjoy, and don't forget to check out the links below!

I'm not in Michigan right now by the way y'all. I filmed this when I was up there in June/July 😊 Hope y'all enjoy!

[@angef9687]

Kyle, I'm just curious - do any of your yooperlites have blue specs in them? The reason that I'm asking is that I'm trying to determine if it's my UV light or the pieces of Sodalite that I have from the mine here in Ontario (maybe they need to be tumbled to work?) Anyways, thank you for another great video. I love seeing you out with your Mom and that you have footage from more adventures on your holidays back in the early summer

[@KeyAppyMeganpr1]

Hey Kyle!! First of all, you guys rock!!! Love your videos!! Ok question, what kind of lights do you use? I Would love to get the same kind as you guys use. Thank you and keep up the awesome fun videos!! I love them!!!

[@ericcook8422]

I never thought to look at night. Thanks for your video. I appreciate it.

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

I really like those little ones I think they would make awesome jewellery for night clubbing. (Not that I do much of that being 70 lol).

[@WILDKYLE]

Hahaha I don't even do that at 28! But I bet there would be a market for it! 😝

[@sandmaker]

I love anything that glows with uv. Lots of good finds, small. But really good Hi to your mom for braving the bugs in the dark. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

[@JaneEllenMusic]

Happy to see a second part of your night time Michigan adventure! What a great way to spend an evening; thanks for taking us along!

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

All those little yoops would look great in a glass jar where you could shine the UV on them in a dark room for a bit of glowy atmosphere. Thanks to your mom for helping with the light work, and thank you for this fun video!

[@glen3925]

I thought a necklace would be cool

[@tjzambonischwartz]

Saw the video on my feed an instant before the notification came in. Earlier than early!

[@The1BlackKrow]

There's the Wyld child and his Lovely Mom out with the forest children rockin' Michigan Eups!! Another great video my friend and the stones that you found were beautiful. As many have mentioned before they would actually make some very nice jewelry pieces. I hope that it won't be too long before you can go back, although it is a LONG road trip. Thank you for letting us tag along, it's always a joy to see your adventures. Stay safe and HAPPY HUNTING!!!

[@stephenrose4167]

Hey WildKyle, I was just at the beach and I found a bunch of shark teeth and other fossils. You are one of the people that have helped me be able to find and identify different fossils. Thank you for all of your videos and all the knowledge you have passed on to me and others.

[@WILDKYLE]

Hey Stephen! I love to hear this. Thank you! I'm happy my videos could help you on your fossil hunting journey!

[@elizabethenigma]

Awesome and Beautiful!!!!!

[@locker261]

Great Video as always

[@cassyfofana7805]

Nice seeing u out with ur Mom Bless u Both n ur Family .... 😇

[@KateandEvatoys]

I love the tiny ones! They’re so cute ☺️

[@lynettepavelich7540]

Fun trip! You definitely came during UP bug season! Whatever that blue one was, was cool!

[@laurenoreilly4140]

I love the Yooperlites but I also love the ones that glow blue.

[@stinkygraykitty6808]

So super cool!!

[@darlameyer5936]

Those are super cool!

[@donnabeaudin9114]

I love watching yuberlite hunting! Also liked the other cool rocks you found, like the one Mr. Spider was on, that was pretty!

[@Corahernan]

This video is just like, being a kid and going on a adventure. Everything is cool and awesome and cool looking. Love the enthusiasm man. Get to live through your video of being able to just go to the beach. Thank you

[@savagesquirrel9828]

That unakite was gorgeous. Your mom is a trooper. That beach might have been picked over. Early spring might replenish it from winter storms. Cold though. Thanks.

[@brianholcomb940]

Very cool! Awesome video!

[@patifagan6774]

Hi mom…looks chilly. Beautiful country

[@wynja77]

Would the glow show up in UV light used in clubs and such? Because in that case the small ones would make rather cool jewelry, I was thinking.... Oh, and please lend your mom to me, I want someone to go rock-hunting with too! ;)

[@nplcaptain4944]

I also had the same question on my mind

[@lorimihelick5475]

Youperlites are cool but that unicite is awesome ❣️

[@dylanb2302]

That blue yooperlite could be the ice to the fire of regular yooperlites, like fire and ice yooperlites! I really enjoy that blue/green color! Would be awesome to find a yooperlite with the blue/green and the orange/red! Well like always i enjoyed the video, thanks for taking us along for the journey!

[@osmadchlo]

I love the ones that look like stars and galaxies.

[@bernardmcnamara]

I did my first UV hunt a fortnight ago here in Australia. 🇦🇺 Using several different UV lights. 254nm UV lights. 365nm UV lights. In one of our State Forests. 🙂

[@AstroBananna]

Which lights you got, in particular the 254nm

[@lisamanrique1770]

The bugs, especially moths, LOVE the UV light! It drives them crazy and you crazy!!! We deal with this big time searching for scorpions in AZ desert.

[@michaelmelling9333]

I appreciate your kindness towards the spider.

[@Julianne955]

You found quality, not size or quantity, but some very nice quality stones! Well done!

[@victoriamontes3213]

Love the yooperlites, but sooo many bugs! 😬

[@grahamtaylor8973]

Yooperlites is a new one on me. Arn’t they gorgeous !

[@robbybobby6483]

You asked the spider what bugs he was eating? He is eating the same ones you are! Yooperlite is always a thrill.

[@maryoneill5070]

Love the video. Definitely visit your momma again. She looks like she enjoyed her beautiful baby boy. lol ✌🏻❤️🙂🙏

[@keenwalkersuper]

Love your video! so what is the use for those rocks you found by UV light?

[@judytrahan6121]

Bugs love UV lights!

[@MiscoMedia]

Hey, thanks for sharing this nice hunting experience! Truly awesome and cute yooperlites you found there. Could you please share the details of your UV torch and the link? Thanks in advance! 😊

[@lisamanrique1770]

Black sand = gold 😁 I love UV lights and minerals/rocks!! How gorgeous! Are you using a short or long wave light?

[@yzScott]

You need to hunting around the closed zinc mines in Sterling and Franklin NJ. It is really quite insane. They open the Buckwheat tailing pit after dark the first Saturday of each month. Luckily I live just a couple miles from those.

[@tammy4695]

Hi, again, Wild Mom!

[@robbybobby6483]

You asked the spider what he was eating? He is eating the same ones you are! Yooperlite is always a thrill.

[@catherinewilliams3850]

Those rocks are beautiful but I'd be hysterical with those bugs, I'm terrified of anything with more than four legs😱😁

[@peterraisis9975]

Cinder pebbles or fire stone are ideal for artists

[@theresagrosscup1968]

All those tiny ones would look cool in a shadow box frame with a display light , like they use in museums ad the black light rod

[@chaielmaetheius7804]

You found a good spot for fine gold panning, next time you get up to Michigan look for the black sand again (that’s the best results zone)

[@mohammedbashashaik2542]

Hey wildkyle,can we find raw diamonds under uv395nm torch in night time hunting is possible...? Please tell or guide me

[@okaymind3907]

Of the rocks that glow in the UV, have you exposed those to other elements or magnets or tuning forks to see if the glow will occur in daylight (excited frequency/Lithomancy stuff)?

[@TXNAT1VE]

Getting a UV light ✨️ 🤪 😌 😎

[@normawinton6832]

Wow it was buggy out there. Poor momma! Nice collection. Did u find out what the blue one was?

[@markzinzilieta8927]

Hope your ok in Fla currently !!!

[@kastah]

I saw a video from Mars once and it looked exactely like at 3.08 when you said that the water was sipping out and it was a beutiful pattern, sooo, Must have been the same happen at Mars, right?? HMMM...at 5.10, that rock was cool, in that greenish glowing. Love the bright glowing ones, so strange. Good hunt!!!

[@Fararang_Tabligh]

Hello, thank you for telling me the flashlight model you use in this video

[@lumemaa7]

Don’t get eaten by bugs 🕷 amazing finds!!!🤩

[@samabate6992]

Do you cab or polish those? I have some pieces of sodalite and they polish out nicely. I like to cut and cab rocks that glow

[@davidstoner7448]

The baby-lites are perfect for wire wrapping. Or diamond tip on the Dremel. Drill a little hole. Pinch bail ...make pendants. Necklace doodads....you know what I mean!!!🤔

[@kerinholmstrom250]

Those lines in the log are caused by bark beetles. 😁🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦

[@christinewalley6829]

Just watched the crystal collector video on Yooperlights and found out that the purple glowing rock is feldspar.🙂

[@kittylevee4662]

The spider and the rock are obviously made out of kryptonite‼️😱 💜💙💚💛🧡❤

[@pablo6305]

Im from michigan and never heard of such a thing. Iv seen mushrooms glowing in woods but never heard of them , weird.. i stayed in florida for awhile and adventured the hell out east cost. West palm beach had some nice snorkling.. snook is better than bad..

[@michigandualsportmotorcycl3483]

Light orange i believe is feldspar. The blue/violet is I believe is fluorite. Shelite also fluoresces blue. This is my research. So, more experienced rock hounders please correct me if wrong. I am by no means an expert.

[@christinewalley6829]

Bryan Major aka The Crystal Collector said the purple is Feldspar I believe in his latest video

[@faithfreds356]

Forgive me if this has already been asked, what beach in Michigan were you at, just eclipsed prilgram nature preserve "rock beach" and it just unleashed a rocking hunting possible addiction lol

[@BugRaiser]

I live out here I think I’ll do some hunting.

[@KrisH-kp9vx]

That black sand is holds a lot of flour gold up there on the lakes.

[@AlphaSpirit888]

You know what I’d do withe the smalls? Get a small shadowbox, epoxy it so they stay in place, get small UV lights in it, and make it a cool wall decoration you can turn on at night.

[@masseykev]

Do more UV light stuff

[@leannkennedy6568]

What flashlight are you using and are you happy with its output? I'm going up to Superior.

[@barbymccain2436]

Somebody loves and appreciates the beauty of Gods creation 😊 It’s you Kyle! Very nice to see.

[@nickriggs5805]

Can you add a link to the UV light you use?

[@zavalondc]

9:24 I found the same spider in a beach in Sardinia (italy)!!!!!

[@noahnelson3349]

Can you do more bottle hunting vids?

[@Canned_Beef]

I wonder if there are glowing fossils. Those are rocks too.

[@sunqwest1]

try about 10 feet off shore were not many check that is were we find the 2plus pounders

[@daydbaysinger4572]

Hey kyle how have you been?

[@spaztic1]

can you recomend a uv flashlight for hounding rocks with?

[@WILDKYLE]

The UV Beast is what I use!

[@JimHerbertOutdoors]

Yooperlite hunting is such a unique experience nothing else compares! I picked up a bunch of those glowing fossils too , pretty sure you can polish some of them? Not tryna advertise but check out my yooperlite vid if ur bored just recently finished it. Its nothin special just clips thrown together from my spring finds. Come up in march/April right after thaw you can find bigger size and quantity , just have to dress warm✌. Your camera is 100x better than mine at night 🙈

[@zamansaheb1549]

❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉good

[@tlars8569]

👍

[@maryoneill5070]

5:05 that rock looks like a ball off aluminum foil. It’s beautiful

[@donnaa572]

Wild Kyle where about are you on Superior?

[@WILDKYLE]

Muscalonge State Park!

[@CMN601]

new friend here

[@nickrotchford8003]

What UV Light did you use?

[@user-sm5lw4yh9g]

I’m guessing someone has been that spot last few days.

[@zeemixvideos6485]

can i find it in my country

[@TarnishedViking.]

Dude! Them little suckers Rock. {}

[@BrokenCrushedby]

If u go rock hounding in Tucson Arizona watch out for coyotes javelenas snake scorpion brown recluse mountain lions 40 mountain lion have been spotted this year in town at night . Night time can be a dangerous place. And the freaks definitely come out at night in town. Just saying I wanna go rock hunting at night but I'm not sure about the rest because I don't have a team.

[@user-ct1jq4gh9z]

Hey guys im looking for a good uv flashlight. Have someone some good recomentations

[@clintonmorris8222]

The "glob" is called conglomerate

[@dmarco9166]

I'm sorry...YOUR MOTHER!!? I thought that was your friend or something 😅 she looks amazing

[@ADeCou87]

I can only assume this rock and that spider are made of the same thing…Lolol

[@leannkennedy6568]

That dark sand contains gold.

[@michellehessman3683]

Hey

[@AngieDoesStuff]

I wonder if the algae glows red even after it's dried out.

[@hopemuller86]

It does!

[@barbarastordahl-jones7696]

It's not black sand it's iron oar if you took a magnet it would pick it up its really cool if you take a jar n scoop up both reg sand and the iron oar take magnet and try to separate great toy my grandkids love playing with my jars of iron microwAve magnets work the best

[@SodiumSyndicate]

I took a UV light & went searching for stuff, found a cylindrical glowy thingy & was about to pick it up but turned on my headlamp to check what it first was............was a lump of Dog sh!t.

[@jimlancaster6120]

I hope you have UV protection glasses. Wouldn't want you to have eye problems at a young age.

[@BrokenCrushedby]

Perhaps it's the light you have on they attract bugs

[@user-ec8tx4ji9l]

We’re in Michigan can you gime the address

[@Shannon_Moore]

Looks like those were may flies bugging u ..i hate those things !!!

[@jerunac]

second xD

[@AstroBananna]

Uv not good for skin. Consider using sun screen or gloves?
