Try Richardson's rock ranch out of Madras where you can dig several types of agate.  There are several quarries on both sides of the Columbia Gorge.  There are some areas around Owyhee Reservoir in south east Oregon that are accessable by boat.  One of my favorite agates is Piute agate.  It comes from southern Oregon, but never found where.  Used to by it at Richardsons.  Makes fantastic skinning knives!  Joe

There's a lot of it in Jackson County, Oregon, agate desert is almost all agate and there is a lot on BLM land off Crowfoot Rd, if that means anything to you.

Off Crowfoot, on BLM land, I go up washed out draws and find some good stuff.  Out in White City, by the water reclamation facility near Touvelle State Park is another good place.
