I found a chunk of Amethyst and Lake Superior Agates in the biggest lake on planet earth, Lake Superior!! I trekked to a North Shore beach in search of Minnesota Gemstones and was so excited to have found not on only the state gemstone of Minnesota, Lake Superior agates, but a gorgeous and phenomenal water washed chunk of amethyst!

That amethyst was a beauty. Excellent find. And the agates too. Sooo cool.

@katiemixon7852 7 ай бұрын

You should tie the bucket around your waist with a leash or something. Make it long enough that you can still use it, but that way you know it won't float away when you're showing the camera everything youve found!

Gorgeous rocks, though! Purple is my favorite color. So, naturally, amethyst is also one of my favorites! That was a Gorgeous, amazing find!

Watching you get so excited about your finds is totally giving me life this morning!! I know nothing about agates or rocks in general, but I’ve become a huge fan of your videos and could watch you hunt and cut these beauties all day long! Can’t wait to see you cut into some of these! 🩶

That amethyst is a stunner. Also my birthstone. Years ago, while camping in southwestern Maine, my older bro and I used to go rock hunting at the many abandoned mines open to the public. We'd stop in at Perham's Maine Mineral Store at Trapp Corners for maps and advice, then head out. Always hoped to find some watermelon tourmaline, but no luck. Bit too old at 71 to go bushwacking and mountain scrambling, but I do have the memories.

Tip: Put a string on your bucket and tie it to yourself/belt or whatever, then you do`nt have to worry that the bucket shall slide away. That Amethyst was great. I think it is the first time I have seen someone find an Amethyst around that lake🤩🤔👍👍Good finds.

@kristibennett7601 7 ай бұрын

Love your Superior hunt for agates, etc! And I’m jealous, as I only found 3 very small agates there this summer. I definitely need waders;) Just an FYI about your opening comments - none of the Great Lakes (not even Superior) have tides, as such. Too small to notice. However, storms and winds cause larger waves, and can contribute to “seiche,” somewhat similar to the sloshing in a bathtub, and that can be about a foot of change at times.

You might get a retractable coil or even a dog leash with the loop around the handle then you can clip the leash to your belt loop, it would keep your bucket from floating to far off and you could pull it back to you.
