Hey everyone. Was a huge rock collector and polisher as a kid. Mineral collection, toyed with the idea of going to school for geology, etc. Taking a trip out to the Oregon coast in a few weeks and doing some research on things to do has me looking to dust off the old tumbler and finally doing something with all the rocks I've collected over the years. Added a few days to our trip to do nothing more than walk the beaches and rivers looking for agates, jaspers, and other treasures. Thanks to those that created and that maintain this forum. Looking forward to soaking up the info and getting to know you all. Todd

Welcome to the forum from Central California. I'm jealous of your trip. I'm going to get up the Oregon coast one of these days.

Welcome from Washington. While you're at the Oregon coast, find some time to go beach walking. You just might get lucky and find Pacific Picasso Jasper.

Welcome from the Pacific Northwest! Your trip to the Oregon coast sounds great. I don’t know why but the idea of you leaving some Minnesota rocks at the Oregon beach just popped into my head. It might confuse some people, which made me laugh.
