Nugget Shooter Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 That is a very nice specimen and I would like to hunt that area! I have been addicted to agates since childhood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks guys, It wasn't potato patch....I looked it up in an old book, and it was July 4th butte off hwy 85 south of buckeye. I wouldn't mind looking into the area again...been at least 12 years since I was there. It is a pretty agate for Arizona... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget Shooter Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 It indeed is and I know the area, let me know if you want company.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haderly Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I would be up for a hunt out there. That area has a lot of agate beds and some are less known then others. Pat McMahan put a claim over a big portion of the Potato Patch but other then that the rest of the area is open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Great looking agate. Can't find that in-situ in my state. Found mostly along the riverbanks in some areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
