How do you know if a rock has crystals inside?
Actually....they aren't necassarily inside...they often are just right on the rock...or thats all they are..is just a crystal. However, geodes(I can't spell that word)...I believe the crystals are inside? I'm not an expert on this stuff..but the rocks are pretty distinctive in coloring and stuff. I found some rocks that I broke in half yesterday and they are pretty sweet inside.

I've found 30+ arrow heads, about 15 scrapers, and -10 other tools. I also found shrapnel from a bullet at an old historical market where there was once a trading post for the westerners...

As for rocks, I have quit the collection. I wish I had pictures... I'm very proud of my collection, but it is all at my moms house right now.

Some of the stuff you find could be worth decent money. I found a broken geo'd that is huge and the guy I talked to said it's probably worth over $400.

Out of curiosity.

After you went home, did you notice yourself watching the ground a lot while you walked?

Sorry, my dad is a geologist and I guess I caught the bug at a young age. This thread got me all excited though. :thumbsup:
I would love to see pictures of your collection, that geo'd sounds absolutly amazing! I am planning on joining the Rock and Gem club around here. My boyfriends mom is in it and apparently they go on field trips to go find different kinds of rocks.

I am such a stone freak...I also found some sweet ass Jasper yesterday too.

..and yes, haha...from staring at the ground allll day long walking normally was kind of a challenge.

I love rocks...
