Gail and I attended the Yachats Agate Festival a few weeks ago and decided to go see if we could possibly find some agates. So on February 27, we drove down to a little beach just south of Yachats at Neptune State Scenic Viewpoint.
This was a mind blower! We were there about 2 minutes and Gail started yelling. She found an agate the size of a goose egg the first time she ever went looking!
The spot where Gail found the monster was where a little stream entered the ocean.
Gail and agate, which she named The Neptune Agate. We searched for another couple hours and found a handful of small marble sized agates. We are hooked on the hunt! Something new to forage!
We went back again last Sunday to try our luck at the next beach to the south, Strawberry Hill.
We had a necessary low tide, and a beach with nice gravely areas to search.

A beautiful beach day for Oregon.
