Im Michael, I am from Winston-Salem. I am only a short drive from Hiddenite, NC. My wife and I have been there several times. We like "searching" the buckets for stones, but out favorite activity is wading in the creek. I have loved rocks since i was a small child. Tigers eye and Hematite are two of my favorites. I look forward to learning from the more experienced rockhounds. One of my favorites is a Geode I inherited from my Uncle. Its one of the things that peaked my interest as a boy. Are there any resident Geode experts here?

Hey Micheal
I was reading a few days ago that Pulaski TN has a fair amount of geodes and many other great rocks, Im in Abingdon VA and if I remember right it was like 3 hours from here. I am new to this so I have read so much the last couple weeks it gets jumbled in this old mind.My wife and I both enjoy Rock Hunting and are making weekend trips for some hunting and its great time togather. We have been to Franklin and Spruce Pine but have not made the hiddenite trip yet. We are planning on our next trip to be to Amelia VA for some Amazonite. I got a book that shows all the places in NC to hunt and its great, with the exeption some of the properties have switched hands. Keoke Iowa,,,not sure of the spelling on that! but they have some great Geodes as well. Like I said Im a rookie but hope this helps a little.
