I am relatively new to rock hounding even though I have had a keen interest in geology and geologic formations for many years. My dad introduced me to rock hounding many years ago. He got into into lapidary during his retirement and would include me on some of his rock hounding trips.
I currently live in Stanly county NC but grew up in Montgomery. The forum topics on the Montgomery county quartz mines really peaked my interest. I hope to be able to visit some of those places in the near future.
Thanks for accepting me as an RHL member. I have already learned a lot from the forum topics and hope to learn much more as I get more in to this fascinating hobby.
If anyone needs a dig partner please let me know. Now that I am retired I have much more time for these pursuits. Thanks again. John
