Hello All,
Formally, I'd like to introduce myself to the forum since I haven't already done so. I'm relatively new to the site (1 week now) and relatively new to mineral collecting. I've always been interested in minerals and gems but never really followed up on participating in the actual 'collecting' of the minerals until the summer of this year. Since I live in Eastern PA and frequent Western PA, I've only collected from a few places in PA and NJ. So far, I've been able to find Kyanite, Almandine Garnet, Quartz/Pyromorphite, and Galena in PA and made a trip to Sterling Hill NJ for some fluorescents.
Would like to find some new places to do my searching, hopefully less than 2hr drive but also looking to do some larger scale travelling in the upcoming year. I'm heading down to Fayetteville, NC in the end of October and going to hit up Hiddenite - perhaps looking into seeing if anyone else would want to meet up there. Also, possibly looking to take a trip to Arkansas in the beginning of next year but I don't know too much about it yet.
If you have thoughts, feel free to replay. Was also thinking about posting some pics of my recent finds but not sure if it would be appropriate in this particular thread.
