Hi All, As I head for retirement, I seem to be getting sucked into my wife's hobby of picking up rocks! I know very little about rock collecting. So as time goes on I hope I can pick your brains for answers to things I do not understand! Thank you in advance for your help and if I post in the wrong place or mess something up, just let me know. An old guy like me needs to be pointed in the right direction sometimes! Happy rockhounding...............Jeff

from Tennessee. I'm the collector in the family and my husband likes to pick up rocks to make me happy. So we are a match made in heaven! I can see you two will have a fabulous retirement if you help feed her rock addiction hobby.

Thank you all for the welcome!
I would like to post a question on how to find the best way to remove thomsonite and garnet from the base base rock. Would I post the question on the (General Rocks Board)? I hate to mess up my first post!
Happy rockhounding...............Jeff
