Went out Saturday,hounding in a new gravel area I found.I'm sure finding some great pieces out of there this year!!!
Right corner is all petwood,two are bigger than my fist and great colors,the upper center rock(darker color) is a huge piece of Green Jasper,the rest are agates of every sort,some huge pieces too!
Its a 1/2 mile hike into the gravel bar.Its all bush,trees and water,but well worth the hike!!

My fav.'s of the day from the rockhunting...

Smalls and weirdos are such a temptation to saw into to see what's inside. Enjoy the moment. Tom

I'd be all stupid running those big agates through the saw to see their innards.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
