Washes near the lower Virgin River corridor in southwest Utah yield agate, jasper, and bits of petrified wood after storms rework gravel bars. The ‘area’ is dispersed BLM and state land rather than a single marked claim—pin is approximate. Use existing roads, confirm land status, and never dig in protected park units or private parcels.
