Collecting stone?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Bjrogg, I heard that in Glass buttes , Oregon on the Blm land you can collect 250 # of material legally, obsidian and dacite. Bob

I've never had an issue collecting from the lake shore. I never take more than a bucketful at a time(I'd be hard pressed to find that much). If you can get to stone that has been submerged for quite some time, it usually escapes the freeze damage. Plus you can score glass and porcelain too.

I don't know if lake michigan has the same stone as erie but it's worth looking into. I've always wanted to ice fish saginaw bay. We got perch like crazy over here, but eyes through the ice would be a welcome change of pace, with a lot less fish to clean for the same amount of fillets. 

bjrogg:
Dakota Kid , I'm actually on Lake Huron side only :45 minutes from Saginaw Bay. It's getting cold now if it stays like this I'm sure it won't be real long before they hit the ice. It's like a town out there sometimes. Never really gets safe on big lake the wind can change and just like that the ice is blown out miles. Sometimes it blows a chunk out of the bay too then the Coast  Guard has to pick them up. I thought Erie was full of Walleye. If you ever come to the Bay fishing PM me.

Outback Glass Butts was on my mind, I thought it was on federal land. I think the next time I go to someplace with good stone, I'm gonna call the authorities and tell them my name is Zuma and see what they say.lol.
