[DARK30]

I love my fishing but theres other things to hunt for! Can't wait to take that first walk along the "dropzone" after the snow melts

I recently rediscovered a 5 1/2 lb rock I got many years ago. It appears to be a half of a larger rock that was cut in two. The cut side is polished. It was given to me by a relative who called it an agate. How can I find out what i have? I'm pretty ignorant as far as rock ID goes.

Thanks

[DARK30]

There are lots of agates from around the world but our lakers are unique to this part of the country. Anything over a pound or two is a rare find but they do turn up.

[Bowfin]

Island Guy,

Could you post a picture of the rock?

[island guy]

I'll try to post a pic once I figure out how to do it!

[Jim W]

Look up. Look down. Just gotta keep looking for SOMETHING. The quest never ends. That first little walk up a quiet stream is on my mind Jim!...I might even bring my rake

island guy...mail that pic and I'll try to get it on here. klinnfamily(at)aol

Dark30,

I go in Thursday to see if the knee guys at Mayo need to cut me open.

Hopefully this won;t hinder Spring and Summer walks.

Do they make an all terrain camo-scooter?lol

Hey Dark, while icefishing a couple of weeks ago I noticed that a bulldozer was doing some excavating about 150 feet from where I found my 1.8 lb agate. I think a little walk is in store for this guy once the spring thaw begins.

[DARK30]

The snowmelt cometh!

[ilovehardwater]

Thanks for adding this forum. I will be spending some time on here in the next few months, but I have to take advantage of the ice while its still here...BT

I've got a interesting little artifact that I would like to post a pic of but, gave up on this techie procedure. Anyone care to give me an addy I could forward the pic to to have it posted here. Kind of intersting story on how I came to possess it.

"Pac"

[DARK30]
