What gravel pits in Minnesota are open to rockhounds looking for Lake Superior agates?

I will be heading to MN this July and have heard that searching gravel pits can be the best source for finding Lake Superior Agates. I don’t have a clue though on which gravel pits I should even try to approach for permission. Can anyone provide me with a name and location to try? Thanks

YEARS ago (actually decades), the gravel pits were a great place to find the agates, but no such luck these days. More to do with private property and accidents, law suits, etc.

My family vacations were spent looking for rocks around the country, but my great aunt lived just outside of Grand Marais and we would spend time every summer looking for agates and thompsonites on Lake Superior’s shores.

Unfortunately, for the past 40 years, everyone else has been looking and finding rocks so finding them in 2008 has become a challenge The 2nd link is a thread from a few years ago from people searching for agates too! Not a lot of luck.

There’s always AGATE DAYS in Moose Lake! (The LAST link gives you phone numbers–maybe you could get the name of the company supplying the gravel—- and if you get the name and permission to go into a gravel pit, please let me know too—click on my name to have Yahoo forward an e-mail!!)

Just looked at the link from MOOSE LAKE’S AGATE DAYS. Wait for the pics to load. They bring a dump truck a dump full of rocks to the town and there’s pics of people going through it…what fun!

Carlton County Gem and Mineral Club
and the Moose Lake Chamber of Commerce present…
Moose Lake Agate Days 2008

Minnesota’s Moose Lake High School Gymnasium and Parking Lot
Saturday, July 19th 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
Agate Stampede will be at 2:00 P.M. (Saturday only) (350 Pounds of Agates & $ 300.00 Dollars in quarters)
Sunday, July 20th 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.

REALLY look at this last link for some contact names.

Seriously–if you get permission to get into a gravel pit, please let me know! LOVE looking for rocks!

And an unusual hint—whenever you are by railroad tracks, stop and look at the gravel they used. I’ve found about 10 lbs of good rock that way! (But you have to know your rocks.)

Have fun and happy hunting! (Finding the rocks is just luck…)
