Wow those sure are some cool rocks! Love the colors and patterns. Any idea what kind of rocks they are, as I have no clue here? Where did you find them? If you are interested in selling some, I'm sure you would have a buyers market here let alone ebay buyers. I would be interested in buying some along with Sandman!

Have no idea what they are , most of it is small but we did find a few bigger rocks. Ther was tons of the stuff to pick up. We could of filled a dump truck full, and thats no joke.
Found the place using rockhounding califorina, it said we would find jasper, agate and jasp-agate.

Simple
Son was too tired to pick up more. We had to get up at 4:00 am to get there to beat the heat.

Stefan - spending over $100K for a new house or spending a few $ to get shipped rocks??? With my luck I'd move to somewhere where they have only light grey colored stones.....

I hear ya Tweet. I would much rather live here in the field of dreams...Iowa and pay to have my rocks shipped! LOL! Now when I think of vacation, I wonder what kind of rocks I would find at that destination? As you know there are no mountains in Iowa. Just alot of corn! ;D

Ahh Tweet I was just pulling your leg! We would all love to walk outside- pick up a rock- toss it in the tumbler and have magic! Thing is that most of the rockhounds here WORK hard to collect what they get. I just got some Pet wood from a co-worker. She was visiting her sis in Texas and their ranch is covered with the stuff- She could not believe I was interested in it! See we never appreciate what we have right in front of us!
