      I don't want to invade you spots, so I won't ask where you were but can you tell me what river you were in? Alot of times while I'm in the rivers I have been finding quarts on the large gray rocks that are piled under the bridges.

    Hi again TAYLOR
    Enjoyed being out in Wisconsin for a bit! Especially the sound of the river gives all hope spring is on the way.
    Thinking by the look of the rocks there that it probably isn't an agate spot. You can usually tell as agate areas have a look which is hard to describe but guess learned and felt. Other goodies though that looked quite nice.
    Thx as always and catcha next time.

Most greens at the moment are ferns ive planted or moved closer to the house and moss. Lots of mud from construction too. I like the aspens and birch up there in the north as well.

    @thirstfast1025 3 роки тому +1

    I think what you're calling jasper at the start might be rhyolite , or possibly sandstone. The clearly layered ones that are kinda dull are probably sandstone (I see it blends into jasper on a piece). 8:28 your fav I think is rhyolite.
