I grew up hunting agates on Bombing Range Rd in West Richland in the 80s. That's before all the growth and paved roads

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

The sunshine looks like it was worth the trip even if you didn't nab any agates. Lovely day for a stroll, thanks for sharing your hunt!

Great video! Its nice to see you outside, looking at rocks! Not that your faceting videos arent wonderful! Its hard when your eyes arent trained for the rocks, and when they have a coating of river sludge on them. But it was a beautiful area and a nice river walk, on a peaceful day. And you did find some cool rocks!

I go to the flume and fir alot west richland is good to where they are doing the construction.

[@DonohueLabs]

Been out to Fir. I looked at the Flume on satellite and geologic maps and it looked promising but I wasn't sure if there was public access.

[@user-hx2vt4on4i]

Thats all protected land. theres a sign at the entrance saying no digging or collecting artifacts

[@laurabarnett5650]

Is this location public access? I’m just wanting to check before I get myself in trouble. Lol! I drive by here all the time!

[@DonohueLabs]

Yes it's open to the public

[@laurabarnett5650]

@@DonohueLabs Thank you! I appreciate your feedback. Will have to go one day soon.

[@carriemorris5268]

Yes, it's open, but be careful. I suggest not going on your own. I had a friend attacked down there.
