I went out to the Cedar City area on my spring break to look for some tumbling material. Not the most economical way to get rocks to polish but it gave me the opportunity to meet another forum member and spend a week wandering around the desert. Anyway, while looking for agate in the area between Cedar City and Summit I came across this piece. My first thought was “They don’t make a flat rate box that’ll fit that.....”

Looks like you might have a bit of trouble getting it in your backpack too

Last time a few of us were in Cedar City this happened... That's my ass facing the camera. It's camouflaged to make it appear smaller.

That was a great item you found. Were you able to extract any of it?

It was fun hounding with a bunch of RTHers in my local stomping grounds. That was almost exactly 2 years ago - the weekend before Mother's Day. Lynn

One of my friends would still be there digging! We really like that area and always come home with some nice pieces.
