That is an awesome laker. Eyes, banding and it's big.

nemesis21 That's a sweet Laker! Looks to be over a pound too. Did you find it on a beach, or gravel pit? Lynn

They cut through all of the topsoil when leveling the ground and digging foundations and sometimes it turns out to be a good area. I just have to find them before the construction workers do! |

I've heard of several big ones(~4 lbs) coming out a single gravel pit near the Stillwater, but no one wants to give out access to pits anymore. I don't know if there are as many giant ones that people find up north, but it seems like there could be. The problem is that most of the glacial till is under about 5-10 feet of dirt/clay or mixed into it. At the moment, there just happens to be a lot of housing going in near my area and they are digging a lot of it out. If Brainerd had a housing boom I'm sure you would see a few too!  |

I cant see Brainerd having housing developments like they do down in your area, but ya never know. I follow a kid on IG and he is up in Duluth-he found one last week that I almost begged him (ok I did beg) to send me. I have never seen one like it-almost as good as the one you just found. I haven't been to Stillwater in years, but have heard there are some decent ones to find. I like going up North though-more open land and less people to bug you. Some days I really miss my home state and I get a tad happy to talk to people back there and drool over those Lakers. Thank you again for sharing with us. |

One amazing find. I love hunting in landscape rocks and new developments. One never know what they will find. The eyes on this piece are very amazing.
