If I recall Rock Hound State Park is unique in being the only one in the US. From what I've read, and from what one forum member posted some years ago, agate, geode, chalcedony and a variety of other minerals can be found there. One suggestion was to look to the hills there for geode's. Most of the lower area's are pretty well picked over from what I read. Luck to ya and look forward to what you find.

Yeah! Post what you find!

A lot of places around there are good, look up Deming rockhounds and ask them. BLM land is open to looking.

If anyone shows up to look around Deming let me know and I will get you directions to better places, I live close and have buddies with claims all over southern new Mexico. I have some agates at my studio for sale, and also know the guys cutting and polishing
