I don’t know how I didn’t discover this forum sooner , but i am sure glad I am here now. My name is Chuck , I have loved agates since I was a little boy and would go agate hunting with my mother at Pebble Beach in Crescent City California . that was in the sixties and seventies , fast forward to now . I started watching Agate Angler , Katidid , Theo on Youtube and revived the addiction . So this weekend i spent almost $600.00 in diesel to pull our trailer over to Miles City just to go rockhounding on the Yellowstone , thanks to Kate’s book So Many Beautiful Rocks , seriously thanks Kate . It was a great weekend , many great rocks found , and watch out for ticks , they are plentiful too. looking forward to learning .

If you think Miles City is good, wait until you hit the good spots.

Hey Chuck! Welcome to the forum from South Dakota! When you figure out how to post pictures of your finds...we promise to "ooh and ahhh" and be very jealous!

Welcome from West Virginia (probably the only state without good rocks for tumbling) 🤣

Welcome from Charles Town WV. (Think abolitionist John Brown's pre-Civil War raid.)
My wife and I have been unofficial rock-hounders for decades, but got into the tumbling aspect of this hobby about 8 months ago.
Like jasoninsd said, make sure that you figure out how to post pictures of your finds so those of us like lparsons who live in WV can drool over your finds.
