Rockhounding With Pappy And Greg

[PAPPY]

TODAY starts off the ROCKHOUNDING FORUM with PAPPPY and GREG. We will entertain any questions that you may have and PLEASE feel free to post your pictures and comments of your finds also.

PAPPY will be putting on maps and Threads concerning ROCKHOUNDING starting today.

If you see a Rock/Mineral/Gem/Fossil that you are not familiar with...Please use your search bar and type in the name of the Rock/Mineral/Gem/Fossil to get your information. This will allow you to do a little research too.

These maps will be of help I know in your hunts....BUT...they will not be in any order by State or such. I have MANY MANY maps that I have made over the years and I am glad to share them with you. Please do NOT ask me for a certain State to be posted...Just keep check and you may run across a map or two that will be of help to you.
