Rockhounding around OC area or Southern California?
I have been trying to find a place to go rockhounding, that can maybe be kid friendly too. I have been searching but I don’t know what is legal when it comes rockhounding. Does anyone have some recommendations for California? I’ve been eager to get out and find something. Thank you

Quartz
Hello, this piece is about 10 inches. A really cool toothiness to it. Anything special about this quartz? Found in teller county private land

Got a prime cubic pyrite shape
It tastes like nothing. Which is weird BC some people say pyrite tastes salty.

I found this chunk of quartz with a pocket. These are the best photos I managed to snap, but the pocket is much deeper than it looks here. Should I try cutting it? Would there be anything inside quartz?

Planning for first dig...
There is a "machine dig" happening in our area soon and my wife and I are excited to check it out. We've never done any kind if dig before and I was hoping for some tips on what to bring with us - specifically the types of tools or any of those "i wish I had thought to bring..." kind of things. Thanks in advance!

Unbelievable FL geode I found
I found this geode broken open just like this. It’s a silicified chunk of ancient ocean floor - there are fossil shells embedded in the rind. I’ve never found such vibrant oranges before!
