HA! funny you should mention the beav, I had a dream last night that I stopped in this dive bar in a town I was working in and guess who I saw....yep, beaver!
he was sitting at a large table with a bunch of buddies and he was a regular at the place. needless to say, I was with the in crowd all night and my whole stay while working there.
I really dont remember to much after I sat down with he and his clan, but that's the part that seems so real :ROTFLMAO:

Post a pcture of it.

Brother found one the size of a bowling ball. He's not really sure if it's an agate either. Sure looks like one.

Hey Russ, And how is The Exalted Beaver? He's the only guy I ever met who could "smell" where the crappies were on URL! He Da Man! One thing you can do to ascertain whether or not this is in fact an agate is to wet it down. Wetting it down will highlight any lines or formations in the rock making it easier to identify. My eldest daughter once found an agate as big as my fist so it is quite possible that The Beav's find is definitely an agate. Whereabouts did he find it? If he doesn't mind telling, that is.
