Rock hound from iowa with no car

[kevil]

My name is kevin and I been collecting for at least ten years. I moved up here two years ago and I would love to find some lakers like the ones that are posted on here. I love the huge one this morning. I have a small three pound tumble. Its just a relaxing hobby of mine please let me know if someone wants to meet so we can hound together. I'm located in the maplewood area. Thank you for reading and happy hunting

Welcome aboard Kevil! You'll have to do some snoopin around to find agates and I don't know anything about that area...maybe try over by the St.Croix River and the smaller feeds. You have no vehicle?

Yea no car. Just a 29er lol. Everywhere I see rocks I look. Sometimes i'm lucky most of the time i'm not lol. I even got kicked out of 3m. I have a itch I can't scratch, I just wanna find some

Don't spend too much time at 3M, a buddy and I have pretty much cleaned that out I've got a car, but not a whole lot of time though and definitely not access to sweet pits like dark. But who knows, maybe we can find something? I've had success with golf ball size walking the shores of the mississippi

Are you going to the rock swap/trade on the 23rd in osseo. Its far for me but i'm going to try to ride my bike. The bus that goes there doesn't run on the weekends. Where on the mississippi. I'm not to far from the lower landing area. I found a bunch on 61 the other day. And today at health partners on phalen.most bigger than a inch.

First off welcome to FM/HSO Kevil, I worked at the 3m plant for a bit back in 01, got most of the better spots on the property picked clean

I would be checking the river bed, we get quite a few decent ones every year while walking the river bank.

If you make it up to Osseo on the 23rd be sure to stop at Fair's nursery, they will let you dig through their bins of river rock if you ask .

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone
