What gravel pits in Minnesota are open to rockhounds looking for Lake Superior agates?

Question

I will be heading to MN this July and have heard that searching gravel pits can be the best source for finding Lake Superior Agates. I don't have a clue though on which gravel pits I should even try to approach for permission. Can anyone provide me with a name and location to try? Thanks

Answer 1

not many people let you into their gravel pits anymore, but if you can talk to some farmers most have small gravel pits somewhere on the farm.  or a place you could look, but as everyone else says luck has everything to do about it.
