Rockhounding around the USA

Hello RHL!
I hail from a few places but spent a good many years prospecting in Montana. I was part of a group out of Kalispell and owned a sapphire mine. The rockhound group finally got a mine of they're own too. They offer a day to the mine (placer type mining) if you are inclined, summers only. It is located in the Sapphire Mt. area out of Phillipsburg, Mt. and you need to bring your own equipment. Montana Rockpicker

Welcome to the group, it'd be great to see some pictures of specimens and the mining operation.
