Good day all
I am Bill from the Las Vegas valley
I am semi-retired and have only had a rock collecting addiction for about 6 months now
I bought a rock tumbler (12lb Loretone) and just finished my very first batch!
I hope to learn a lot from reading all of the forum posts here
And I am about to post, and ask if someone can help ID some rocks I find
Thank you!

Hi Bill, This is James also from the Las Vegas Valley. Are the same Bill in the Southern Nevada Gemological Society? Nice to meet you James. I am not a member of a club or society yet. So, it is another Bill. I was thinking of attending the SNVG&MS club meeting next Monday and becoming a new member. I'd hope to meet other people that also like collecting rocks or studying geology. Right now I go everywhere by myself, and that can be dangerous, especially in the Summer out here. -Bill

I go out by myself all the time. Well my dog Jax is with me. Some places though I prefer having a secondary vehicle since it is a long way back to civilization if something happens.
