Cool. Thats the kind of place where just sitting down and examining everything within reach for 10 minutes and then moving would be productive. Wetness is good, coldness is not!

It must be cold, you look to be bundled up like Kenny from Southpark! Way to brave the elements for some cool rocks!

Lot of limestone, some pretty sillified material. They dredge the material down to about 70 feet. thank for sharing the location. I saw all the LS and thought it looked like IL. Best Agate hunting I have done in IL was at a Holiday in Express in Bloomington. the gravel around the motel looks like yours and had Lake Superior Agate from time to time.
