That was an awesome agate hunt! I'm so glad I got to participate!
Y'all should've heard Ali when she found that Laker. She was so excited. I knew it had to be good so I went to see what she found and was not disappointed!
She's got agate eyes fer sure, there's no doubt about it!
Another awesome thing was meeting Ed the club president again. I actually met him at dobell ranch in AZ this Feb when I was there. What a small world!

Is that first photo the laker? It's unlike anything I've ever seen before. That doesn't say alot, as I don't get out much. That is how I found it, scroll down and there is a picture cleaned up and wet to show the banding Crap. I didn't think about the first photo in the thread. :facepalm I was actually referring to the series of photos where the rocks were cleaned up. I'm assuming (now) the first in the "cleaned" series is the laker. Stunning and absolutely amazing.

It is amazing what one can find in plowed fields. That is a great Laker. Glad the club was able to be creative and schedule an event for members.

Very nice finds. That 1 pound piece would tumble out really nice should you decide to tumble it whole.
If it were me I would tumble, at least a few runs in coarse to see the inside a bit better. You could always cut it after a few runs should you decide to do so.
