Hello,
My name is Ben Chapman, always liked rocks, kind of obsessed lately, family bought 100 acres in NC and I found a few gems (Garnet, Emerald, Apatite, etc.) but the rocks are what I seem to be obsessed with, I brought back (to FL) a few hundred pounds of all sizes and enjoy cleaning and hand sanding pieces. Putting aside pieces to tumble in the distant future. I have been reading information for the past 2 weeks and stumbled on this site.
My kids are in college, my previous hobby was building, repairing and everything about computers, though with the kids gone I seem to like rocks better. Other new hobby is Metal Detecting, I plan to join a rock club though nearest one is 45 miles away.
Is there a section of the forum of members by State?
Thanks...Ben

Welcome from Colorado! I see you already know where the gems come from (referencing a comment on another thread) - pretty cool to have access to gems!
I look forward to seeing where you go with all this! It is addictive, brace yourself.
