    I live east river and absolutely love the terrain you go agate hunting in! I am new to hunting agates and cool rocks and your videos make me want to get in the car and go right now! I would love to even just start out finding prairie agates and rose quartz, to me anything looks great! Any suggestions for a place to start looking for someone starting out? I am a recently retired school teacher and love exploring and learning new things! Been out west river many times hiking but I wasn’t agate collecting back then! Thanks for showing us your agate hunts!

As for finding some cool rocks on the western side, do some research on places like Conata basin, Weta, Indian Creek, Railroad buttes and French creek campground in Fairburn, as those are all popular areas to hunt for cool rocks, as well as the elusive Fairburn agate. Best luck!
