This blog will be a site for sharing information about minerals, mineral collecting and related subjects for anyone with an interest. I look forward to hearing from others with news, collecting site information or those who just want to chat. I have personal experience in many areas including the midwest, west and some in the eastern U.S. but most current collecting is in Nevada and is somewhat limited to a few ‘old favorite’ sites.

I will be posting anecdotal information about some of the areas where I have had success or found things of interest over the years. I have a wide-ranging interest in things natural science, so if you are thinking of anything related, please send in a note.

Many thanks to Judith Harlan of harlaneditorial.com for her encouragement to start this blog. We are novices but expect to be ‘cruising right along’ in no time. Anyone thinking of starting a blog and looking for very professional help, please contact Judith. We’ve listed her link in our blogroll.
