Got to get out yesterday after work, I think it was around 3:30 when we hit the prairie. It got dark a little before 5:00. Trudged around in the mud and dark with headlamps and flashlights, coyotes barking around us. It was great!  Anyway, here's one my son spotted in the grass. Unfortunately he thinks it fell out of his pocket- so it's still out there if someone wants to come get it...  And here's a nice one that I found, along with some other great agates and wood.  |

Nice ones! Too bad about the first one. It has the look of Agua Nueva. |

I know that it's mostly due to location but some of them look awfully similar side by side. |

Two beauties! Too bad about the first one. It would have made a gorgeous cab.

Nice finds.
Like the catch and release term. At least you got a photo of it before releasing.

Did he find it in his pocket or did he actually find the same rock twice in a field? I would hate to see him lose it again. Send it to me and I will put it in my tumbler for safe keeping. Chuck |

Which is what I told him when we were standing on the side of the highway- that it was probably in his pocket. Even 28 year-old kids don't listen  I'll pass along your concern, Chuck, and see what he says... |
