dam......nice find holy dump...what does it weigh?

[caseymcq]

Just a hair under 10 lbs.

[Connan]

good lord almighty caseymcq! Cant believe you found a 10lb agate! Really cant believe you found a 10lb agate when you were not even looking for them. What a nice surprise that must have been!

[DARK30]

That's a monster....got any better pics?

[caseymcq]

I didn't have any more so I snap a few quick photos. I don't know if these are any better but here's a couple more...

[TonkaBass]

the sheer size of that thing is most impressive

[DARK30]

Man, if that thing was banded red and white...it would be worth mooocho toadskins!

[DARK30]

A couple lookers..

[DARK30]

Nice paint just a half ounce shy of a pound.

Caseymcq, did I happen to see you crossing 7th ave at the TH Agate Shop the other day carrying that agate? I turned around to talk to you but you went back inside. I waited for about ten minutes, then went hunting instead. I think it was Tuesday or Wednesday around 3:30?

[Portlis]

Nice pounder there Dark! Still jealous of these larger ones you find. I've gotten plenty of landscaping sized agates this summer, but nothing even close to a pound!

Love the pictures, keep em coming

[caseymcq]

That was not me. As much as I would like to bring that into an agate shop to see what it is worth my wife has lobbied against the temptation. She has put it on display in our living room.

Finding that has kind of messed up my grouse hunting in that area. I spend a lot of time looking at the ground

[cocowheats]

lol. Well that is interesting. Must have been two monsters found from silver bay boys recently. It was an Otterblad boy I saw coming out of the agate shop

[DARK30]

Nothing wrong with landscaping size agates..you find a lot more of them!

Had a full pocket yesterday..

[Connan]

nice Dark! some candies

I made a video showing some of my Agate collection of finds from over the last couple years.

[DARK30]

Nice bunch o rocks man! The music? well...couldn't you find any Alice Cooper? jk

Been slow but I found a little cutie today..

[Connan]

Here's one I found today. No music this time Dark.

Welcome to HSO, technorocket. We do have a pretty good following on the agate forum. First thing you need to know is that Dark30 is the luckiest guy on here when it comes to finding agates

[technorocket]

Nice finds Dark! Find those this wknd? As soon as i figure out how to load some

pics i will add to the fun!

[Connan]

^just host your pics online somewhere (photobucket, flikr, facebook). Then make a new post, and click the (enter an image) botton at the top. Its the 4th button from the left. Then click center img and enter the IMG HTML code and hit post.

Here is what I found during a couple hour hunt this last weekend.( be sure to watch in HD)

[technorocket]

Thanks Connan. I dont have a computer so all my pics are on my phone. I tried uploading them

but it wouldnt let me past the "find a file" page. Dark is helping me out with it.

[DARK30]
