How to Find Lake Superior Agates

That's a really neat gravel road. Imagine hunting that in the rain. Lots of little treasures

Your advise on searching gravel roads is very good. Even in West Central Minnesota we will find gravel road agates. Not very frequently but they are there.

I took one for the team - I did a survey and clicked an ad 😉 Nice video.

Such potential. I've been going though buckets of rocks a local hound has given me, I haven't been to the river yet this year. Thanks for the ride along to give me that water front atmosphere as I cycle through the buckets. So much waxy goodness.

AWESOME VIDEO!!! I am getting better at finding agates, thanks to your help/videos. Thanks Thomas!!! Keep rockin!!👍😎

Thanks Thomas! I needed To go rock hounding. I always enjoy your videos! God bless you. See you on the next hunt. Your friend and fan, Kevin

Such a great tutorial! I don't think I'll be finding any lake superior agates here in Georgia, but I'll certainly be looking if I ever get up north! Thanks for sharing!

I truly enjoy your manner of teaching in your videos. It’s always positive and informative. Wouldn’t it be amazing to find the agates in a quarry before they get crushed into smaller pieces?

Thomas it would be fun to have a gravel road with Agates on it. Thanks for bringing us along on your walk. Very informative.

Thanks Thomas for taking me along.

Thanks! I'm really new to this, and second guess my finds a lot. I haven't found any agates yet around the Twin Cities(mostly a lot of jasper and granite I think), but I hope to find some soon!

Awesome stuff man!! VERY informative 🤓👍 Happy Hunting!!

Very informative!!! Thank You!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼

I wish it was as easy as just going to a dirt road to find agates. We have lots of dirt roads, but no agates. And going to Minnesota with gas prices what they are is a little crazy. This video was great since I can't just go out and practice in my area. One way that I find agates is to walk into a setting or rising sun. When the sun is low in the sky, the agates will glow like Christmas lights. I don't have enough experience to know if this only works with small agates, but that's what I always find with this method. Actually, I don't even know if you'd consider them to be agates. They're more like carnelians, with no bands. But they are orange, waxy, and translucent.

Thanks Thomas great video.

Those are about the right size to put into bottles or jars, or maybe even use them as "filler" when you tumble other agates. until they do fit into bottles. What do you do with your agates?

Got to check out some dirt roads. As it is, I have hunted gravel driveways and parking lots.

So what is so special about Agates? I pick up many stones from the Lochs here in Scotland that look like them, also gold/silver looking stones!

Thank you that was very helpful.

Does it matter what state the gravel roads are in? I live in a pretty dry rockhounding state so I was wondering if I would still find things like this.
