Found a bunch of sweet banded carnelian agates on wolf creek outside of Paulina OR. Figured you guys would enjoy. This one spot of the creek was loaded with them, was able to fill 5 gallon bucket before it got too dark. Good season ender due to snow and mud.3yr ⋅ Rookie-rockhound ⋅ r/rockhounds
Decided to do some hounding while staying at friends house in Biggs Oregon. Ended up stumbling upon a vein of this stuff after doing some digging. Pulled out about 30lbs because I thought it was pretty. Anybody know what it is? Is it agate of some kind? (cut on tile saw) More angles in comments.3yr ⋅ Rookie-rockhound ⋅ r/rockhounds

Was out digging some of my new found Congo Plume agate from Congelton Hollow, and found this a few feet away from my collection site. Is this an native artifact of some sort? Looks like a clam, but doesn't make sense to be on the high desert.4yr ⋅ Rookie-rockhound ⋅ r/rockhounds

Decided to go walk around the north face of the Prineville reservoir. Found a bunch of this material coming out of the ground.
