Welcome to Michigan. Rockhound heaven.

Petoskey stones are found all over. We found them on a trip to upper lower Michigan. Not all were good quality. This was back in the 70’s.

Love watching your little dog. He's so eager to get going. And he's having such fun. Happy hunting.

Little dogs got the biggest personality.

Lake michigan is beautiful.. the petoskey stones are great too ❤

Awesome Video! Loved It When You Found Your Heart Shaped Petoskey! Loved Your Sea Biscuits As Well! 😊😊😊

Love these chill rock and fossil collecting videos

That was pretty cool for just a little walk about.✌️😎

Petoskey stones are found throughout the Northern Lower Peninsula because that whole area was once an ocean floor. Petoskey and Charlevoix stones are fossils of coral.

If gas wasn't so expensive and I didn't live so far away, I'd be lickin all those rocks too lol!:) neat rocks Bryan! But I'm still attached to Arkansas:) hand picked stuff is the best!!:)

I love Matrix, he is adorable and a great companion for a digger like you, Brian

Great finds! Man you were killing it, finding those petoskeys! And seeing little matrix so excited to go out and hunt rocks, was priceless! And those shells and sharks teeth were really awesome! Just a bunch of terrific finds, in both locations! and a whole lot of fun for matrix! Awesome video brian! Thanks for letting us tag along!

What an awesome hobby and adventure ! Your doggy-boy is an awesome adventurer

I can’t wait to get up to lake superior!

Thank you for introducing me to a new type of fossil. Your show is amazing. I am such a fan.

Good job Bryan i love these kind of videos!

I live in Michigan and Petoskey stones are right up there with my favorite rocks ever. Look for pudding stones and greenstone too. Michigan has the best rock hounding rock!!!

I used to love searching the beach but I've never seen the shells and rocks or coral that you've found Bryan, what a wonderful collection you found in both those places. Matrix having plenty of fun as always, he so loves the beach lol. I doubt sand dollars are found anywhere near here lol, but I think they are really special. Terry and I have had some very stressful days though today's everything was sorted, we are now calming down which has been helped me by watching your video sweetheart thank you. Now to enjoy my mug of tea Terry has made for me lol, so cheerio for now my friends God bless you and Matrix, love and hugs to you both Mary-Ellen and Terry UK

I'm so jealous!!! :-D Great finds!!!

What a wonderful surprise. I recognized the bridge immediately as you crossed over to Holden Beach, NC! My home town and one of many beautiful beaches that Brunswick Co. has to offer. I am very sad that I missed getting to meet you and Matrix in person. During the summer months 90% of my time is spent on that very beach searching for the beautiful shells and shark teeth that Holden Beach has to offer. Hope you and your sweet little Matrix visits again very soon!! Please let us know your coming!!! I love your video's. I have always been a gem geek and I've always dreamed of being a rock hound.

I'm from Michigan..this is one of my favorite activities there 💜

Coolest team ever! You guy Rock! 😜🥳🤪

What an awesome video Bryan!!!

Great finds, thank you ❤️

Matrix’s life is dog heaven.

Wow! Love the beach but never found a sea biscuit before!

Love that heart shaped petosky at 8:15

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Matrix is the coolest side-kick on KZfaq! I love the idea of rockhunting roadsides. You made some primo finds there.

I've found them more inland and not on the beaches. I've found numerous ones on my property I had in Manistee County. You should go over to the Huron side if you want to find them on the beach. And I've found one as big as you found but it was at the harrietta fish hatchery 35 miles from Lake Michigan.

a pallasite to behold minerals 😎🤯🧐

I've never heard of potoskey rocks. I live right on Lake Erie and I wonder if we have any on our shores. I always find other beautiful things but now I will be looking for potoskey. Thank you♥️

Awesome video! A spray bottle might be a good thing to keep in the RV. Love Petoskys and all kinds of corals. Beachcombing is my favorite pastime, and whatta cool beach! Matrix has stolen my heart ❤️

Dude I love checking out ditches! I’ve found some amazing stuff. Too bad I wasn’t allowed to film because it was private property but man, you should have seen the ditch full of barite I found with Adam! Talk about WHAAAAAATT!!! I thought of you 😂 Rock on Bryan 👍🏼

I wish I could go to the Beach so freaking bad

YAY!!! Matrix, buddy! I love that doggo! Wish I could travel where the shells are as plentiful and where you were. Lots of fun watching you make discoveries and enjoy your enthusiasm! Keep the videos coming, please! xoxo

Thank you very much for teaching me what the stone was I found fifteen years ago on the beach on Lake Ontario Oshawa 3rd marsh beach..

Looks like a nice day at the NC beach

I live right across the state from where you were. I hate how Michigan summers are so short. The leaves are still coming out on some of the trees here, and I see they're already changing colors where you were!

Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!

Those are stunning!!! They would make beautiful jewelry! They’d also look good sitting up somewhere as well. I hope you show them after they are polished!

I've been Potoskey hunting in Michigan, found lots of cool specimens.

Cool. Thanks !

Next time your in the area, please give a little wave towards Lake Ontario, and my old hometown: Toronto. ✌️🙏💐

PETOSKEY HEAVEN Thanks Brian and Matrix! Where did you camp while there?

I live in Wilmington NC and never hunted shells at the Brunswick beaches. I am definitely going to Holden Beach now. That shark's tooth was amazing! Great video!

The Michigan beach you were at looks like the one near EJ where I graduated from! We would go there all the time rockhounding ❤

the last sharks tooth, the white skinny one i think is a Sand shark. They are also called Sand Tigers, they can get up to 9-10ft.

Epic finds 😎

Beautiful places Bryan...🐚🌊💦...And matrix!...🐾... 😂

"I licked that stone... Nothing. so at first, I started licking along the initial shoreline" I know you said "looking along" but all I could hear was "Licking" and it's cracking me up. I'm sitting here visualizing you and matrix walking the beach licking rocks and tossing them to the side.

Thanks for another great video Bryan. I've seen those Petoskey stones polished and they look great.

Great finds and love the music. :) NC

The pointy shells are augers. :)

awesome will have to check out NC, it was great to meet you and Matrix at the rock show always enjoy the content

I love watching your videos and I love your little dog I have a female it looks just like yours

There are also some mud stone rocks that have fossilized clams inside. I went to a hotel in Michigan and there was a couple mudstone boulders on the neighboring hotel and there were a ton of fossilized clams on the beach where I stayed at. Now I just have a back pack full of them.

Good eye, Brian

😊the “pointy” shells are Augers. And the sea biscuits are not normally found on the NC and SC beaches. The shiny shell at the end is a Jingle. Hope to catch you on a dig sometime! Hopefully in NC or SC.

Should be "Petoskey stones", no? With an E..

Those petosky stones were good but that other beach with the sharks teeth and sea biscuits was amazing. Hope you do another video from there so we can see more shells and corals. Thank you

I think we’ve progressed since the Flintstones licking rocks lol

I found one of these at Lake Oroville CA . TOO BAD it burned with the rest of my rocks in the fire. Thanks tho! I never knew what it was 🙂

I’d never seen a sea biscuit before.

If you haven’t, go to the North Shore of Lake Superior and look for Thomsonite.

Awesome video! You da man 🤩

Great place

If you want some good shells go to Portsmouth island on the outer banks you will have to take a ferry across to the island catch it especially after a big storm Scotch bonnet shells look like macaroni Sea shells large conk shells

I just ❤️ love the sea biscuits and the name fits it's fat size. They're so different being fat and all, look like just like a biscuit. The sandollers I found on the beach in West Port Washington are flat. Like a little spacesocuser.

I metal detect and rock hound at the same time. Hi Matrix and Brian

I like this video !!

You're so close to me. Let's link up in Indiana and I'll show you an AWESOME creek for geodes!!!!

It's Petoskey Bryan lol. Next time you come in town let us know.

I hope you thanked Matrix's bladder properly :)

you can polish Petoskey stones by hand using regualr wet/dry sandpaper. take it up to 2,000 grit, then rub it on your jeans for that wet look shine!!!

I grew up in Michigan and in summers we'd go to the northern part of the lower peninsula exactly where you were and I used to find piles of Petoskey stones. I am not sure what happened to them (they were likely at some point tossed back out into my parents' garden, haha). And I've found some other nice fossils and pretty quartz specimens in Michigan over the years, too.

Besides rocks, shells are my other addiction 🤣 In addition to the olives, I think you may have picked up a common nutmeg shell. The skinny pointed ones were augers. I’ve never seen olives like that in one place! 🙌🏼

Wow nice stone.sir Watching from philippines

I knew I wasn't the only rock licker on the planet 😋Absolutely aWeSoMe ❣️

Dude!! WolfDog and i recently just found my 1st ever Petoskey south or Hopkins Park IL in the Kankakee Sands area while looking for bull snakes. Long glacial ride?

You should do a collaboration video with wild Kyle he visits up that way also

Oh my gosh Beautiful 👌👌🙌🙏🏻🥰

Matrix is a cutie

Wound love to shell hunt

It is Petoskey but your all good 😌

if im not mistaken that jellyfish is a portugese man o war and that is a jelly you REALLY dont want to get stung by

What part of like Lake Michigan I live in the bay part it's by Bay City I live in Saginaw if you ever get a chance check Manistee real nice up there

at 5:01 the stone straight to the right of your thumb that looks wavy is a stromataporoid fossil. even older than the nearly 400million year old petoskey and charlevoix stones

Be careful along the east coast picking up collectibles. Some places, the beaches have made laws that it is illegal to just pick collectibles from the sand and ocean, but you can sure *buy* some from the vendors along the boardwalks and other touristy shops. (Who actually go to the shore line and rake in all they can of the washed up collectibles for free)

I haven’t been there so I’ve had to buy my Petoskeys and Charlevoixs. Some Pestoskeys and Charlevoixs may not look great rough but tumbling brings the patterns out beautifully. I have some rough and tumbled. ITpt was cool that you found stones in the ditch! I really love those shells too. Just this weekend a friend gave me a box of vintage jewelry and there was a necklace with an olive shell pendant. I never find any good shells in NJ. Maybe I don’t know where or when to look. There’s a channel I look at sometimes from south FL and all the shells there. It’s kind of amazing. I was wondering do you tumble your own stones? Thank you for this special video Bryan!

I love your video 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖💖

These are soo coooool

Licking rocks! I just realized I just for home from Haunted Ridge last night, and I didn’t Lick a single rock! Love Matrix and your videos!

Pointy shells are Atlantic Augers.

Your dog is telling you to go to the beach!!

I spend all day telling tourists where to find petoskey stones and i alway tell them to get them wet then you see the pattern

Muito bom,,, like

Matrix has the vim and viggor to keep his master going

You at Holden's Beach NC on the beach

Fabulous! Love pet stones. You were on my home lake! Were you in Wisconsin or Michigan on the North, Central, or Southern part of the state? Your ditch location was a treasure trove 🤯 Love your channel and your FB group! Stay Crystal 💫 Mari

Very fun
