This website or the contributor can't guarantee the information here to be accurate or to be up-to-date, although that is the intention for the data. Illegal activity or property damage is not the responsibility of this website, but each visitor is encouraged to review the Rockhound Code of Ethics. Each website visitor is advised also to consider reference sources listed and outside sources in their research before visiting the location.
Location Type: Public Access
Details: In the area stream gravels around Fayville, it is reported to find agate and jasper.  Also it mentions rare alluvial diamond.  I can't verify the veracity of this information as I've never been there, but if anyone should report agate found there it would help to establish this location.  The source that I used can be flaky, beware.

Directions: I have no further details except that the material is supposed to come from the area stream gravels near Fayville.
