[QUOTE="kawman, post: 232074, member: 917"] I have read about geodes forming in other rocks besides basalt.. it was said that sometimes pockets can form when something in the rock breaks down or an ancient piece of wood ect rots away leaving a void that ground water builds crystals in .. sort of like agatised fossils ect.. I have an open mind and will have a good look about the area closer to the 4km mark mentioned in the book by lin Sutherland.. the book says agates and geodes up to 40 kgs can be found there.. This leads me to think that some digging has been done in the past and they may have left some signs behind.. I will not make it there this week because my prospecting buddy has secondary cancer in his back and will be getting radiation treatment.. poor bugger may not get over this.. one out of five chances they say...fingers crossed.. I will look into getting someone else that is interested to come out for a look about.. I am older myself and don't go out on my own in case something happens to me.. If this search comes up blank we will have a look up the creek into the ridges.. we will prove or disprove the myth for once and for all.. contacting lin Sutherland comes to mind... she /he has a webb site .... :) [/QUOTE]
