Nice point! Looks like an agate basin and if so would be late paleo about 8,000 years before present. Its a keeper!

Only got a few but yeah, always watching those washouts and gravel beds in fields when hunting. If you see a spot in a feild where the water has washed out a lot of the ground and there's rocks showing, you gotta look for 'em. With 10,000 years plus of people tossing them things around at critters in this area, you're bound to find a few remaining.
