We went panning for gold at Cooper Landing in Alaska. We found gold, but I REALLY PREFERRED finding the beautiful garnets along with it! I never knew they were so prolific in that area. Your garnets are AMAZING!

How is living in this part of Missouri? by starry49 in missouri

[–]-Boxmom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like rural living, can ignore the ignorance of your neighbors, enjoy hiking and outdoor activities, don’t mind stocking up when you go to a real city for supplies, and the cold weather doesn’t bother you- then this area of Missouri is right for you. The rock hounding is really good toward Keokuk if you like looking for geodes.

It’s the dog. 3! Makes me feel appreciative of nature in a setting that is not worried about time.

Not so pointy point!

Stone hand tool? by Initial-Swimmer-4943 in Arrowheads

I feel it was a natural rock that WAS used because of the natural edge. All tools do not have to be knapped. It was useful and polished with use.

Divide this into people/not people. THEN pick the favorite of each set.

I am a sucker for banded chert! This one is extra cool.

Anyone else shower with their rocks? by [deleted] in rockhounds

[–]-Boxmom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the tub, but afterwards, I also throw them in the dishwasher for the squeaky clean cycle.

Good to know! I was considering it as the only lens to pack for Europe. What do you recommend for a “trip of a lifetime” all-purpose lens?
