Just pulled these from the Lot-O. My favorite. Man, those are great! I've got a few petoskey's that I need to run, just didn't know how I was going to do it. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Do any of them make it as far south as Chicago? Where will you look for them, in the general Petoskey area? We find them occasionally on the beaches of Lake Michigan down south of South Haven occasionally, a good 240 miles south of Petoskey. The rocky beaches near South Haven are about the only place I personally know of where they can be found that far south up to just south of Saugatuck. From Saugatuck to Frankfort there is nothing but sand beaches. Point Betsie north of Frankfort starts the rocky beaches back up towards the Petoskey area. Is that the final polish on those? You can get them really high gloss with a little polishing compound and a buffer. Nice job though. I would never even try to tumble those. ChicagoDave The downtown "Government Pier" in Petoskey is a great place to find lots of pretty good petoskey stones. There is a parking lot there. On the beach side of the condo's next door it is public land and the Petoskey stones wash up there regularly. The condo has a no trespassing sign where their property ends at the rocks on the beach. As long as you stay on the public beach you're OK. Add another 200 miles south . i find them often here in east central illinois . Puddingstone too . No lakers though
