Yeah, that's not even fair. Beautiful rocks laying all over Texas AND folks just giving away great stuff too!!! I need to hook up the wagon train and head West. Great score, Jeremy! There's plenty to go around, so grease up those wagon wheels and come on!

Big thanks to snuffy for giving me the heads up on a rock sale in Rusk, Texas, about 2 1/2 hours north of Houston. Apparently it's a bi-annual deal, one day only in April & October, with approximately 50 tons of rock and various used equipment. There is some great material up there! Nothing is organized or labeled, so you have to do some digging, but you never know what you're going to find in the next bin. Seemed like there was some of everything..... thundereggs, geodes, mexican coconuts, septarians, tons of different agates & jaspers, lots of Brazillians and Montanas, obsidians, crazy lace, palm wood, tiger eye, rose quartz, and even had some Walker Ranch agate and some really nice Pom Pom from Needle Peak. Quite a bit of the stuff I couldn't ID. Everything from tumbling sizes up to 30-40 pounders. Because of work, I didn't get there until noon. At 4:30, I was the last person there and they were waiting for me to finish up, so they could shut it down. Still came away with 200 lbs and only paid $1 per pound. I'll be getting there earlier next time! Here's a couple photos of the layout. Sorry, no pictures of the equipment... 1st area-
1st area continued-
2nd area
Here's a couple "rough" shots of the haul. For reference, each photo represents about 50 pounds of material.

Anyone interested in going, there will be another sale in October. They put me on the mailing list, so I'll be sure to post the details when I get it.
How do I get on that list hon?
