I will be taking a group from the rock club to West Coast Minings polka dot agate mine for a fee dig on Sep 29. If anybody in the NW wants to join us we'll be there at about 9am. If you're driving out of Portland OR I will be stopping at the weigh station east of Sandy from 7am to 715 for those who want to follow. If anyone wishes I can scan a copy of the flyer with map and post it.
They are charging $3 a lb, and Dale tends to be generous in his scale reading. They also will have rough from their other mines available for purchase. If I get all I want quickly enough I will probably stop be Richardsons as well.

And here's the flyer for the mine, added at a member request I know the flyer says through labor day but Dale will be there between shows on the 29th. Lee

You go in on a very twisted paved county road to the mine road, which is unpaved but any road car, even a Mini would do fine. The mine road is less than a quarter of a mile long. It is actually quite a scenic drive. Woody

I really like the material from West Coast Mining, but I am stuck here in NJ far far away. I am with you though in spirit Guess I will just have to go to his Ebay site and buy some slabs LOL Stu
