Found this today, the first picture is what I kind of saw. Most of the rock was covered in dirt. I dug it out of the ground, flipped it over and washed it- and was very pleasantly surprised! It has a green band, which I haven't seen much... Thanks for looking!    |

If I could make a living just off hounding, I would. You know the rush you get when you find some nice stuff? I can’t explain the feeling you get when you find a new deposit of some previously unfound material. |

You know the rush you get when you find some nice stuff? I can’t explain the feeling you get when you find a new deposit of some previously unfound material. Exactly. And the feeling of satisfaction to comprehend the science of what I'm looking at and how to figure out where to find what. |

I have a pretty good method down at this point on how to find materials. Just from looking at soils, topography, elevation, surroundings etc. it’s not 100%, but I’ve become pretty successful using things I’ve learned like that out in the field |
