Rockhounding Red Hill, New Mexico

I went agate hunting about three miles north of Red Hill, which is 11 miles East of the AZ/NM border on Hwy 60. I found some nice blacks and clear(white) some with banding and crystals. I found one that had a little red. It was a cool and windy day but sunny so only spent a few hours looking around. There is a lot of area here around the Red Hill which is a cinder cone. I had a fun day.


Here are samples of rocks I found.
Here is the site. I went up the hill from the truck.
