Hello!
I guess I ought to introduce myself! I’ve always been interested in the pretty rocks I’d find on trips, but have only recently started purposefully going out to try to find rocks for the sake of...well...rocks. I honestly blame my sister - a birder who wanted someone to have a different hobby like hers - for all of this. Anyways, I joined the site because I need all the help I can get understanding what I’m getting myself into! Thanks in advance for the help!
~Jin
P.S. I’m heading out to Wendover (oh, I’m from Utah, didn’t mention that did I?) soon to look for agates with a friend (who is also quite new to this rockhounding hobby)...if anyone has any recommendations for that area, it would be appreciated!

Welcome to the forum from central Arizona. Glad to have you here. Looking forward to hearing about your rockhounding adventures (keep in mind, we do like pictures on here). I don't have any recommendations for you but I'm sure there are some members on here who will chime in. If not you could also post in the rockhounding reports/locations area looking for recommendations for that area and I'm sure someone will be able to give you some information. Happy hounding! Diane

Welcome to the forum Jin. I have not done any collecting in Utah, but our club has and I know there is a lot of stuff to collect up there.

Thank you all! I will try to post pictures and report on finds. I’ve never really been a part of an online forum so I don’t know how good I’ll be at it, but I’ll do my best!
