Oregon you say? Lots of Obamamaniacs up there. I statr with checking their heads. They must be full of rocks! ;-)
thought it might be a change in pace from lookin xeyed.
I need excepional rocks,not sandstone shiite.
Too bad you don’t live in Arkansas. There’s a park that’s a diamond mine, there are diamonds right on the surface of the ground. You can literally pick them up, and best of all, you get to keep whatever you find!
Crater of Diamond State Park

normally an oregonian would head east of cascades,but im just lookin for a quick fix.we got a spot up eola thats indian arrowheads for one.but its protected.
ya thats so cool,my mom is from arkansas.shiloh springs.
There are usually pretty nice rocks in old mine tailings so if you know where there are any old mines.
Ya that old gold mine locale is for mossin later in the year.river is too high right now.
In the morning, call OSU, 3180 Center Street Northeast
Salem, OR 97301-4532..... (503) 588-5301
You should be able to find someone there that could point you in the right direction.
If it were me, I would head for Crater Lake, but you only want to go 25 miles.
Call these folks... maybe they can give you some ideas.
LOL, I don't know how you do it, post after post.
Especially your pics. Skeery relevent.
;-{)
Thanks to you all for the tips.eastern oregon is the best.I found some fosslis in a sandstone embankment blown out long ago for the railroad.And a very old hand pounded railroad spike.no treasure.
