Howdy from Augusta GA

Greetings one and all. I'm back into rockhounding after a multi decade break, and I think I've gone a bit crazy. Four tumblers tumbling, a tile saw used for rocks, a UV light, and a new used camera on my telescope tripod. I sneak off to Diamond Hill or down to Girard and have the next Graves Mountain open house on the calendar. I've even picked up rocks from the parking lot at work and along a stretch of railroad track. Just don't tell my wife about most of this-

Awesome! Welcome to the RHL rob23. Yep, all the classic signs of catching the bug. No worries, it only gets more expensive from here! Grin No need to feel guilty about having one of the best hobbies there isĀ  Wink. Looking forward to meeting you sometime since you dig the SouthEast.

Thanks, Scott. Definitely post if you're going to anyplace like Graves, Diamond Hill, or wherever. I'd love to collect with an experienced rockhound-

Yes, Welcome Rob23, Great to hear you're getting back out in the field!
We'd love a few fieldtrip reports from Graves and Diamond Hill. No idea what DH is looking like these days. And have fun with the tumbling. Remember, patience comes with time.  Cheesy
I guess you'll have to start digging holes in your yard to hide your finds, but don't worry, your secret is safe with us.  Rob-who? Huh
