[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 161290, member: 2976"] Now that's using your head Richard! :) Sounds like the site is reasonably well known. Might be some better, agate-filled ones there somewhere. There's a spot just near my place on the road to Tannum Sands where we used to pick up agate when I was a kid - now off limits :( Most of it was pretty crappy (though still had interesting patterns) but we did pick up a few good bits that almost resembled Agate creek stuff. At Lowmead I have found crystals in both the fine stuff and the chunky quartz but nothing in the reddish stuff - I think it's decomposed granite - on the other side of the road, despite several attempts. Doesn't necessarily mean there is nothing there though. [/QUOTE]
