Agate Geode found on the Oregon Coast
5 Pound Agate Found on the Oregon Coast
Our buddy Rascal of Tillamook Oregon, found this 5 pound agate recently on the north coast. The outside was a typical gray agate with some basalt but when cut open it exposed some exceptional color for an Oregon coast agate and was just as nice as some of the best Brazilian Agate.
Nice find Roscoe!

| 6 Treasures found in just 10 minutes! |
Lucky beachcomber and local resident Scott brought in 1 jasper and 5 agates Friday to share with you. Sorry I was not able to back lite these beauties for you to really enjoy their true translucency and colors.
Did you get to enjoy our beautiful weather this weekend? Couldn't ask for anything better as it was better than summer, being in the 60 degree range and no wind!

Trophies found on Oregon's Central Coast
 |
| Treasures found by 4 beachcombers |
After many seasonal storms last Saturday we noticed the beaches were scrubbed down to the bed rock leaving gravel showing from Newport to Taft in Lincoln City. These are just a few of the beauties that have been found here in the area. I will put more up as time permits. #1. Fortification Agate found by Steve of Lincoln County, 2. Fancy Jasper found by beachcomber Terry of Gleneden Beach. #3 is a fancy jasp-agate weighing over 2 pounds and #4. is a possible blue agate weighing ¾ pound found by our Oregon Fossil Guy last week. #5. are two views of a massive grouping of Crepidula, fornicata.
