Nice ones Connan, that second one has a ruby like color to it. Very cool

[DARK30]

Love those paints!

Found some more color today...and what a great day it was!

Best of the day..

[Rick G]

Again D30 with pile of nice ones . I gota ask, do you still find time to fish between agate hunting sessions?

[DARK30]

I'll start stream fishing next month but these agates have become an obsession....just like cat fishing once was.

So many pits, so little time

[Rick G]

He even uses the eagle eye to spy out hot gravel pits too . Ever look in farm fields? Not as many as you will find in the pits but quality sometimes makes up for lack of quantity

[DARK30]

I check a few fields but never picked up anything great (yet)

I put the grab on this half pound eye popper this morning. Just sittin at the drop purdy as can be...

[Connan]

Ugh, So jealous. What a purdy Agate. Tried to hit a pit today but it was so muddy I almost got swallowed whole.

[Rick G]

Thats one of mother natures finest works . Anyone would be proud to have that one in their collection. Now that my ice season has come to an end maybe I can spend an afternoon looking.

[HotPocket]

Nice one Kevin! I need to get lookin!

[TonkaBass]

Very nice Dark!

[Connan]

^The red and white high contrast tight bands with such a smooth water-washed face makes that such an amazingly nice find!! (worth a good amount of $ as well) ... While a bought agate could never have even 1000th the personal significance as a found one, I was still super excited to pick up a couple nice agates today to add to my collection!!

This one is 6.7 Oz

This one is 1 pound 10 Oz

[Rick G]

Nice one's Connan! The first is another good example of a claccic minnesota red/white. I like that big honkin one with the black husk, great contrast to the white/grey lines in that one.

[DARK30]

Very nice looking red/white. We should have a little rockhound get-together this summer.

[Connan]

Yeah for sure that would be fun! We could bring some agates for show/tell and trade. Or we could get together for a group hunt somewhere... here are a couple i found today on a kayak float!

[Zelmsdawg]

Beauties!

With this nice weather I've been leaving work a little earlier. Filled up a pocket yesterday and found a new spot that didn't appear to be picked over

[DARK30]

Found a nice peeler the other day. The quartz is nicely banded anyway. Weighs 14.6 oz.

[DARK30]

Another chunk yesterday..almost a pound.

[TonkaBass]

Dark!!!! Way to go man!

[Connan]

Dang! Lucky you! Love that Peeler!

[Rick G]

D30, you are one lucky agate hound . I keep saying one of theese days I'm going to make it out, not today though

[DARK30]

You just need a good shovel

(I Wish)

[Connan]

If I ever get some big $$$$$$$ I want to buy a gravel pit, one of those monsters, a conveyor belt and a large pressure washer. Then mine for agates!
