Welcome to the forum Little Sis..................Best advice is to bring it all home,make a rock garden with the bad stuff... After awhile you will get to know what is good and what to leave behind......We all started there... Keep some mad money stuck away for those equipment finds(and you will find them).. The rocks will come and go,but they will get better with quality and amount....After that your hooked for life!!! LOL Enjoy!!!
Find someone that is into rockhounding too,compare notes and hound away...

Welcome from north central Wyoming, the land of nothing but rocks, some bad, some good and a bunch of awesomeite. I am the one on here that doesn't know anything but joke about it so much that people think I am a genius. Well, I think they think I am a genius. Hello, helllooooooo, anyone out there to back me up? Anyway, if we can't figure it out we joke about it until nobody remembers what we were talking about then go on to the next "Idon'tknowite". BUT, there are a lot of great people and a few "Idon'tknowums" on here that can figure out just about anything you can come up with and insist that you ask more questions so they can stay busy here and not be doing all the stuff they should be doing. Just like I am doing right now. Bla bla bla.
This is not going anywhere logical so I will just say that I INSIST you enjoy yourself here. Jim

Welcome. What is good and what is bad all depends on the person. As they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you like the stone then in that way it is good. Otherwise good can depend on what you are using the rock for. Some ricks are good for tumbling and cabbing and some are not.
You can start by posting some pics of ricks you have questions about.
