Hey folks it's me again...lol

A couple of weeks ago, I was able to go to Haunted Ridge by Cadet Missouri..
We collected lace agate and crystal plates...I didn't get many pics of the collecting site ,but the lace agate is all over the hills out there. We had a good time collecting ,the owner of the place was really helpful and wanted to make sure you were finding what you wanted.
They charge $30 a 5 gallon bucket..I packed them out ti max capacity..lol

Well here are some pics that I took.
Out in the field

The haul back at the house

Some slices off one agate

Some of the crystal plates
And one I had in ironout for a bit.

The agate is really nice and hard so I should be able to make some stuff from it ..I hope ya'll enjoy..I did 😀..

Nice haul! The lace agate is really lovely.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

It was a bit to take in when we were there..the guy said we would fill our buckets up quick and he said he would be back in about 45 minutes.. I could have easily filled them in 10 minutes..lol . But old hound likes certain things if you know what I mean..
My wife sent me these pics ...

You can see on the hillside it is just littered with it...

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
