I just posted a video that I'm really happy with. I polished a rock for a lady who goes to my church. The rock has a great story behind it and it was fun to see how happy she was with the results. Just watch it, it will make you smile.

That was so sweet. She was so excited when she saw the polished rock. Good on you for making her so happy!

Rocks make you happy and sharing them usually makes others happy as well. Well done.

My wife and I really enjoyed watching this video too last night. I loved the excitement from your friend as she shared the initial story of how the rock came to be with her mom, and later her own thrill to see it all polished up. It's moments like this that bring back our initial excitement in rockhounding and so fun to share it with others who can appreciate it too.
While we've never been to Michigan, my wife said the other day that maybe we should go and check out those beaches. The only problem we see with this, is that we would have to be extremely selective because we figure we wouldn't have to walk down the beach at all to collect, but rather just remain in one small area and check out all those "other" rocks you never pay attention to, even though I'm clearly giving you direction to do so from my side of the T.V. My wife reminds me that you can't hear me and it's only a video, but apparently I'm not the only one who does this, based on your comments. That's too funny!

I agree that Thelma's excitement was contagious. I'm sort of used to seeing polished rocks now. Even though I still really enjoy it, I'm not as surprised anymore. I'm sorry about not picking up all the rocks on the beach. On one hand, it would be nice to show more rocks, but on the other hand, many of them would be boring to a lot of people. It's so hard to know what the right balance is. I just go with what I like and hope that my taste is similar to others' taste. People tell me all the time that they yell at their screens while watching. I think that's pretty funny. |

We had no idea there was such a diversity of rocks in those areas, and the fact that they are along a shoreline helps one see what potential they may have. We had never even seen a petoskey stone until viewing your channel. We really enjoy your channel. Thanks for doing it. |
