Hello everybody. I visit this site now and then, over the last couple of years.Enjoy reading about your finds and digs. I'm from Texas and we dont have anything close, so this is as close as I get. I know some of the members here from another site I am a regular on.Just thought I'd say hello and stop lurking. Keep up the fun.

Welcome to the board. There have been many posts on the board about finds from Texas. What part are you from?

Thanks for the welcome. I'm from central,southeast part, Bryan,College Station. We have an abundance of pet wood and quartzites and jaspers that have washed in from who knows where.I'm hundreds of miles from any great collecting spots for any thing else. I do my rockhounding on the net,except for pet wood.

Welcome to the board, Snuffy!
There are probably plenty of people on DirtyRockhounds who would love to get their hands on petrified wood, quartzites and jaspers. Since you said you do most of your rockhounding on the internet, you might want to go collect some of the interesting specimens that wash up in your area and then swap them with other folks from all over the country who would probably trade you nice specimens from their areas.
Do you ever get the chance to visit any of the states surrounding Texas and collect there, or do you pretty much just stay close to home?

I've gone to the crater of diamonds one time with my two sons. We had rooms at the Horseshoe in Bossier and drove up there for the day. Got tired of looking for diamonds and filled my buckets up with agate and jasper. I've thought about trading pet wood for other material, but I never have. I would consider it later, I'm leary of newbies like me here coming on a site and offering deals right away.You know what I mean. Any way,later
