Found a 100+ #s of agate while fishing last week, my partners bitched so I had to do all the rowing (well worth it)

..... Mostly grey/white agate but some banding, lots of crystal pockets. Here are a few random pix. The textured one I believe was a narrow seam agate, it has a similar pattern on both sides, kind of cool. Some might produce some slabs and cabs, some might tumble. Most will likely get planted in the agate garden. Cheers

How was the fishing? I hope it was as good as the rock hounding.

It was a good day...fishing was as good as the agate hunting. Between three of us we had 5 steelhead to hand, lost one other. Two hatchery we bonked for the grill and the rest were wild which we released to do their deed. Love the costal rivers, super fresh fish...way hot and very chrome. Super fun. Cheers

Love the lava mold on that one piece! Interesting light banded agates, looks to have a bit of blue in them. Mmmmm. fresh Steelhead dinner.

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)
