Agates of the Oregon Coast

Useful information on Agates of the Oregon Coast...

Today's hot news about Oregon Agates...Since earlier this month after many numerous storms have scoured the sand off the central Oregon coastline just in time for the beachcombers and rock hounds to find some really GORGEOUS agates. Just today agates of every color: white ones, yellow ones and ones that are black with colorful designs. You too can find patterned agates and jaspers as you go beach combing today just "look around" for the exposed gravel beds!

You might want to obtain a copy of the beachcombers bible "Agates of the Oregon Coast" available at the local rock shops or book stores. Do remember to get a copy of the local tide book for where you will be hunting, never turning your back on the ocean.
