Scrambling down Main Street Moose Lake to find agates
The Annual Agate Days Stampede took place in Moose Lake, Minn., on Saturday, July 19, 2014. An estimated 3,500 people converged on the northeastern part of the state to try their luck at uncovering agates. Trucks layered Moose Lake's main street with 400 pounds of agates, which were mixed in with 2,000 quarters and four tons of rock. Participants practically dived over one another to try to find as many agates as they could.
