Minnesota Agate Hunting

I decided to stick around in Minnesota one more day to go agate hunting with friends, Sharon and Doug. 

First we went to yet another gravel pit that my friends had permission to hunt.  We found some agates, but not the big one we were hoping for.

Doug....

Sharon....

There are lots of lakes everywhere in the area.

Some with loons...

This is the shoreline of the lake near the house where Sharon grew up.  All of the inland lakes have rocky shorelines.

Next we searched in a farmers field (again a field they have permission to hunt).  It has not yet been plowed over so the hunting was not what we had hoped.  We all found a few in the field though.
