I usually go it alone, but have thought about signing up this year. Last year, they handed out an agate to everyone who participated at the end of the hunt. Very unlikely that you will find one on the hunt, especially in a group setting. Could be helpful in learning where to look and what to look for though. And it's never a bad day out kicking around in a creek.

Better get your registration info in if you are determined to go. Not sure how many will attend, but I hope not too many. Gonna be carrying around a bucket for many hours, gonna be tough to carry over 40lbs worth of rock constantly... oh well.

I sent my registration in for the easy terrain hunt on Thursday. Hope someone else is going that day.
Which ever day you go, I hope the Agate Gods are good to you!
Later, jeri

I've never been on these hunts. This is what the form says: "All hunt locations have rough terrain in places and those hunting the agates will be in and out of the creek. However, the rough terrain locations are challenging, ranging from moderate to extreme. In addition, there will likely be some hiking up and down hills to get to the hunting site." You can find some pics by Googling "Kentucky agate hunt"... link Not sure that link will work. I searched for that last night because I wanted to see how deep the creek was. Later, jeri

I'm in for Wednesday the 26th on rough terrain - if I'm not too late. Just dropped check in the mail tonight. I'll be driving down on Tuesday if anyone wants to meet for dinner. I'll probably head for home right after the dig ends on Wednesday.

I'll probably head for home right after the dig ends on Wednesday. Tuesday is the only day I can do the hunt, if I do it. I could probably meet for dinner after the hunt is over, depending on the timing of your arrival. Know where you are staying?

I got my confirmation call today. I'm on for Wednesday on the easy terrain - the rough was already full. Now I got to get a hotel room and I'm set. Hope to see some of you down there. PM me if you want to meet up either Tuesday evening for dinner or on the hunt Wednesday.

They probably called you to see if you wanted to cancel or change your hunt. Much easier and quicker on the phone than email. I got the hunt I requested so nothing to talk to me about.
Later, jeri
