Just recently read where a man found a 98 lb. Petoskey stone in Torch lake I think. Michigan DNR just confiscated it saying it exceeds the 20 lb. limit allowed. I'd like to see that all polished up. lol.
Actually it was a 93 lb. stone and the guy found it in Lake Michigan northwest of Traverse City. Since it was in Lake Michigan there is apparently some law that states people cannot take more than 25 lbs. of minerals out of the Great Lakes per year. Now that the DNR has it I'm sure it will be displayed in some state visitor center. The guy should have kept his mouth shut about finding the rock.
