We drove about 3 1/2 hours one way for nothing it seemed like..
My son and I decided to make a trip up to Two Harbors, Duluth for some prime agate hunting but when we got to our destination it was nothing but a pile a dumb ordinary rocks but on the up side the view was amazing.
Just as we were about to leave the city we decided to do some exploring around to see if we could find a gravel pit and jackpot we did. There was a huge sign saying No Trespassing and No agate Picking and right then we knew we found a place to pick up agates!
We were there for about and hour and found a good amount of agates, they were pretty hard to find at first but once we got into it we kept on finding them.
Now we have a start on our agate collection and I can only see it getting bigger!
Do you have an good places to find beautiful rocks where you guys are?

I have no idea. I was never interested in rocks. But we do have beautiful rivers, waterfalls, and beaches here.

@Castlerock34 Yeah i think so. Just didn't look for them. I like corals better than rocks though.

@toniganzon I do too! I love being around or in the ocean and or course the stuff that comes out if it is beautiful. You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place

When I was a kid out west, we picked a lot of stones in the mountains. We found arrowheads in the desert. We found great stones in the Rockies, agates, geodes, quartz and other kinds. We have found fossils, too. In NY state, we found a lot of fossils in rest areas and near creeks. We found trilobite fossils in a road bed. my kids took them to school and we never saw them again.

@Castlerock34 Or the teachers took them. They were pretty rare. I think our road used to be an inland sea many long years ago. We found seashell and plant fossils as well.

Wow that would be pretty awesome to find all that stuff! I bet the kids in school took them home as souvenirs :-(

@Castlerock34 It is. I still have my mother's agate she got from a museum back in New Jersey. I have about 4 of them here.
