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?

Don't spend too much time at 3M, a buddy and I have pretty much cleaned that out smile 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 wink

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 wink.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
