[QUOTE="Marauder, post: 373495, member: 6200"] Hi Gem Seeker. I have been recently to moonlight head, and done some fossicking and found some good stuff IMHO. The beach is easily accessed via a massive set of stairs( don't skip leg day) and the beach is easy to traverse. Check the tides though as they can be very dangerous and the best stuff can be found at low tide, so try to get down there as the tide is going out to maximize the time that you get to look. Really you don't need any tools, but a sieve set would be good to find smaller pieces. I've found some nice agates and lots of jasper and chert. Even found a couple of clear pieces that looks like quartz with round pebbles in them. Saying that, these pebbles are easily found on the beach to the right of the bottom of the stairs, about two coves down. I have yet to venture to the left of the bottom of the stairs which i think is Moonlight Head proper, but that area is much more dangerous and I've yet to get there at a low enough tide. Good luck, and make sure you post any of your finds here! [/QUOTE]
