| For more information about finding Lake Superior agates here, go to the Travel Channel's Treasure Wiki Nebraska Page. Here is what it says: "General Description: Lake Superior Agates in Nebraska? Yes, the period of glaciation brought Lake Superior agates to a number of states. Dr. Roger Pabian at the University of Nebraska has a nice collection of Lakers found in local gravel deposits around Nebraska. Dr. Pabian's book on Banded Agate is a must read for people crazy about agates. He is one of the most recognized scientist on agate formation. Handy to bring along: 1. Hand tools 2. Bucket 3. Keene eye site Helpful notes to newcomers: Most gravel operations will allow you to look through the gravel piles. Ask permission at the office. Explain that you are a collector and that you will observe their rules.
