Agates of the Oregon Coast: October 2011

Monday, October 31, 2011

Welcome home to Oregon's Fossil Guy!

It is once again time for the beaches to uncover the gravel for beach combing on the Oregon coast and Guy is home on business for a short visit looking for spots to explore. Hope the sands wash away soon for a successful hunt. Happy hunting to all of our beachcombers out there. We will add more as time permits.
