Gona be hot thats for sure. A lot of the bigger pits and even some of the small ones get picked hard up here. There is a new one just southeast of town, within days of them starting to work it the rock hound's were there thick. I have better luck in farm field's.

But as we all know by now D30 can find quality aggie's just about anywhere he steps grin I'm sure he will find a basket ball size one up here.

Im sure there are a few field of dreams, but this time of summer its going to be tough because the crops are in full grow... Here is a funky limonite covered agate i found recently.

I used to work for a landscaping company out of Osseo back in the late 90s. I looked forward to the big comercial projects where we would be putting down the landscaping river rock. Some days I would find a ice cream buckett full wink. The boss never realy understood why I was always stoping what I was doing to pick up some silly rocks grin

Thats a neat whale eye! I noticed that strange looking red/white hurricane agate directly above the whale eye. Any more pics of that one?

... Broke my streak of bad luck today! Not great but its an Agate and bigger than I have found in a while.

Nice. that's a cool one. Yeah I dunno what to really call them But I have heard others call them "Hurricane agates". I've seen ones that look very similar. Kinda with the disrupted bands of white within red like clouds floating around.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
