This group is for rock hounds, mineral specimen collectors, prospectors, micro mounts, miners, and lapidary artists who like collecting their own material. With news, equipment, maps, and notes on:
How to Collect
Where to Collect
Mining Claims
Display of Collections
Prospecting

Field Trip notes and stories about collecting are regularly posted.

My goal is to create a database of field trips and collecting sites.

Announcements and invitations to upcoming field trips are greatly appreciated. Please include when and where (including state and or country) the trip is located.

Please – No advertising of rocks, gem, minerals, lapidary equipment, mining supplies – you can post information on mining claims, field trips, show announcements, fee dig sites, and literature - Thank You

Reviews of books on field trips, rock hounding, and prospecting are welcome.

Thank You
