Mineral Identification Simplified
RHS1 FREE COURSE.
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?
The most frequent question about rockhounding you will hear, is the question - “what is this?” It is for that reason I am writing this Mineral ID series. Your first encounter with the mineral will be to recognize it as something to pick up. Beginning rockhounds are prone to pick up an everyday rock and ask what it is. They are often disappointed when the answer is levitrite (leave it right here). If you are at this stage, don’t be frustrated. Interest is where it all starts.
Mineral identification starts as a visual skill. Many new hunters can’t tell the difference between a chunk of massive quartz and an agate. It doesn’t take long for them to be able to pick up either and know which is which without any question. That being said, you need to do some study when starting out your hobby. After all, the polished and faceted gem in the jewelry shop window isn’t what you are going to see when digging it off the side of a mountain or panning it out of a stream.

"RHS1...Beginners Guides"
For those of you interested in gold prospecting, RHS1 has added "Goldrush 2008" which is an excellent informational resource for prospectors, new and experienced. SEE HERE
The information you receive there is just an introductory view of gold prospecting. Our new informational series on gold will be starting on the Gazette this month. If you want to know more about gold prospecting, lost gold legends, laws, and tips, you will want to keep an eye on the Gazette.

Secrets of Lost Treasure: "Treasure... How to find it" Click Here.
There comes a time in every rightly-constructed boy's life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.
"Where'll we dig?" said Huck... "Oh, most anywhere."...
"Why, is it hid all around?"...
"No, indeed it ain't. It's hid in mighty particular places, Huck -- sometimes on islands, sometimes in rotten chests under the end of a limb of an old dead tree, just where the shadow falls at midnight; but mostly under the floor in ha'nted houses."
Mark Twain, 1835-1910. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
