I went through Souris (Manitoba, Canada) yesterday and just had to stop and try the pit again. I haven't been there since I first started collecting and wanted to see if it was really better than around Estevan where I live. Both spots have very similar rock dropped by the same glacier and river.
When I got there it was below freezing, snowing and all the rocks were covered with a layer of frozen mud so I ended up collecting rocks based entirely on the shape. For not being able to see the rock at all I did pretty well. Got some nice agates, jasper and pet wood. Its the same stuff as Estevan but there is defiantly a higher concentration of good stuff. The tiles on the wall are 3"x3" for size.
