I am making a trip through Nebraska about the third week of May and I am planning one as much as one full day looking for Fairburns (or whatever else) in extreme northwestern Nebraska on my way to Colorado. I have never been there but I have read up some on the prairie agates and Fairburns and I have gotten whatever maps I could find.
If anyone has any suggestions on must visit places let me know otherwise I will just be looking for those elusive stones wherever I can!

Anywhere between Crawford and Hot Springs is reasonably good hunting. Watch for posted lands & stay out of them. Ranchers around there don't take kindly to trespassers.
Oglala is Indian reservation land for the most part. No collecting without tribal permission, unless of course if you have Native American blood in your veins.
Collecting in any of the fossil beds is strictly forbidden, but worth visiting if you're into fossils.
Extreme eastern Wyoming can be productive too.
Watch for Nebraska blue seam agate. Rare & highly sought after. Cuts beautiful cabs.
Weather is starting to warm up. Watch for rattlers in that whole area.
