Land & collecting status

Confirm rules before collecting

Land status here is not confirmed. National and provincial parks prohibit collecting, while Crown land and many beaches allow it. Verify with the managing agency before you collect.

Access note: Beach in Gaspé that the regional tourism board lists as a place where agates turn up. The same board asks visitors not to collect them, and the local mineral club says the seashore is public, so collecting here is unconfirmed.

Collecting rules in Canada are set provincially and by land owner. Crown land and many public beaches allow casual hand collecting, while provincial and national parks are off-limits. Confirm the rules for this site before you dig.
