Great agates as usual!
Questions - what is the percent of nodules that you find that have good agate within them? And do you crack them at the site to reduce your load, or do it at home? Or are many of them cracked before you find them? Finally - do different locations provide a better % of good agate interiors compared to others?
Man, you live in a great agate state!

Hey Thanks everybody,Lowell the dud to agate ratio at this place was good 50% I'd say.Somtimes we just break a large chunk and the nodules are inside.I have many I did not whack.You have to cut thru a lot of mud for a little agate some times.
