Those look great! Hit the right spot and you can fill buckets right outside your car/truck. I loved it.
Did you get any small nodules in the batch I sent?

If you got any small nodules, cut them on a bias before tumbling. I don't know exactly what I sent because I literally scooped it out of the bin into your bag.

Bias = slanted. Instead of cutting it straight, cut at an angle.

I can't imagine finding agates like that. Thanks I can't wait to go again. 1 day isn't enough. Too much area to explore for 1 day.

i have been going done into Burro creek area for over 10 yrs and still have thousands of acres to explore . we used to go 2 or 3 times a month before i got sick . The comment above about parking and picking up rock under the truck is true in several places

Great job on the tumbling. There is such a variety of rock to be found in that area.

There was a RTH get together there about 10? years ago. I was unable to be there due to life and distance. I would be game for another one. We currently plan to drive in for a day after it warms up and dries out a little, maybe even an overnight at the camp spot Diane, Frank and Russ had.

With the new gig, no vacation time and the weekly paycheck is smaller than it was so not sure when I'll be able to go again.
