The guy at our hotel in Madras recommended this spot and it was the most fun we had in a long time. The people working there are so friendly and helpful. We cannot wait to come back! Can’t recommend this spot enough.

I enjoyed digging around finding the rocks there. The ones on the table are what they had found there. The one that is cut in half on the bean is what I found

My experience was fantastic!! I will be coming back the guys there are upbeat and knowledgeable. For rockhounds or puppies you have to go and see what is there for yourself. Thank a ton Matt you rock.

The Polka Dot Agate Mine was the highlight of our rockhounding honeymoon! Matt and Brian were knowledgeable, helpful and just the best hosts ever! We will make sure to make it a stop next time we are in Oregon 😁

How are the charges set?

I believe thunder eggs were $2 a pound. However most of them are pretty good size. If you did one out and you do not like it you're not obligated to keep it. You can toss it aside and dig for something else. When I say pretty good size I mean soccer ball size. There were other rocks that had been dug out from other areas that had different prices on them like $3 to 5 a pound

Am i supposed to call first or just show up?
