Lakers are my weakness. I really like the top two in the first photo but all are great.

Toiv0 - these are fantastic! Where you do you find your lakers? I would love to tumble some good Lake Superior agates but I seem to have a hard time finding them.
I really like these, well done =)

Look great! It's nice to see some cabbed. Most people seem to keep as specimens.

I really like these, well done =) I buy and trade locally and try to get out hunting when I can. Good laker hunting is actually south of me an hour or so and most of the places are now closed.

Unfortunately shortly after I got into collecting LSA everything was closed down. The main reason they closed everything in my area was because of copper theft. Before that it was no problem to be in any pit but they didn't to decide what you were there for so nobody was allowed in. A few people were approached by the cops or sheriff so onece word got around we just stayed out of everywhere...........................MrP

I used to hunt on the South Shore of Lake Superior a lot. Then in old gravel pits in Dunn County WI. Now finding some in Central WI. I really prefer the shore ones, as they are already partially polished. So sad that some bad eggs spoil it for everyone else. Have you found any other collecting areas?

They have installed motion detectors and security cameras in many pits where I live. A person doesn't know if they are real on not when they go off because some are just local noise but some get called in. The reason I know this is because I helped install some in a couple of area pits, so I do know how it is in those pits but not in others. Those that just make noise can be heard for a great distance. Every pit I have tried has no trespassing signs so I just stay out. The copper wire that was stolen in one pit cost the owner over $12,000 for repairs. The dirt bags got caught trying to get $250 for there haul...................MrP

Can't carry a gun in a pit as it's under federal jurisdiction, MSHA. Most of the pits I deal with are more concerned with insurance and MSHA regulation. In one pit in IL the employees used to fish and picnic on weekends until someone got hurt and sued. The theives and junkies don't care regardless.
