Crater of Diamonds 40924 20
Started by sprague.scott.k@gmail.com
If you are passing through or planning a special trip, Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, Arkansas is always fun. Whether you surface search or dig deep, the likelihood of finding a diamond is actually pretty good. Here are a few that I found.
I usually try to dig deep, wash a lot of gravel and take my concentrates home for further inspection.

Forrest Fenn Treasure 460 0
Started by pbhunter4
. . . . so I have a book that will do just that. Save you a bunch of money to help you find the treasure Forrest Fenn Hid. Some are looking in Yellowstone, it's not there, but the book and find out why instead of throwing away thousands of dollars to find out why just that answer alone. There are many other good reasons to put out just a few tiny bucks to find treasure but it's also a good read I've been told. https://www.facebook.com/Rine-Enterprises-Patrick-Rine-335736903815029/

Gemstone misidentification? 10863 10
Started by goldcrazy2@gmail.com
I found a couple of old claims in northern California with a mineral entry of tourmaline, yet I can find no history on them.
The only tourmaline I know about is around Pala in southern California.
So what gemstone(s) might be mistaken for tourmaline

Rockhounding: Arizona Agate and Peridot 15181 6
Started by jennielovescars@gmail.com
Whenever I'm out looking for gold, I always naturally get sidetracked by all the amazing specimens Arizona has to offer. Normally I'm the one that always gets all the gold equipment ready the night before, but yet I'm the first one to start finding rocks instead of the gold. Go figure! Guess its just my natural rockhounding ways! I always give advice to not dive into just finding the gold when out on a claim, but also take a minute to look at the rocks around you. You never know what you'll find...
