Hope that wasn't too much.. thanks for lookin'

Great trip... East needle Peak sounds primo but like the Stillwell material best. What kind of tonnage you bring home? 15 buckets each?

If we get out that way this fall we'll leave you a few buckets.. grin

I Love Texas Agates.

Me too!!!

That bunch looks like a cut 'em n cab 'em party to me....

I sure hope Teri gets the Walker reopened for the fall hunts.

Anyone else goes in late October, early November be sure to let us know.

Wow so much color, I love the weird shaped ones. I think I would have to keep some of then intact. Very nice treasures.

Especially those with the boytriodal bubbles on them. Clean them up and polish the flat spots, but leave the bubbles just as they are. Make some killer display pieces.
