And do we need to ask permission to go on the private land? Thanks for the info! Do you have a picture of what an uncut nodule looks like? And do we need to ask permission to go on the private land?

If you are finding pieces of agate were your looking look a little closer as the nodules will not show any agate and they are not perfect spheres. You may want to dig in the areas were your finding the agate, and break a few rocks as you will eventually find them and know what to look for. I would have over looked every nodule out there if I was not shown what to look for. If you continue not to have any luck my rock club is going out there on a field trip on October 18 and anybody is able to attend. The road is off to the left but it is private property.

All we could find by browsing random hillsides was small scraps of agate. We're going to try again this weekend. Is there a specific dirt road that you need to turn off of Rock Creek road to get to this particular place? On what side? And are the roads that are marked private pretty much a good idea to avoid? Thanks! We went there once and could not find the right turn off. All we could find by browsing random hillsides was small scraps of agate. We’re going to try again this weekend.

The nodules don't look like your typical nodule. They will have a tear drop shape and you may see a little agate. It’s outside of Weiser off Rock Creek Road.
