Here's the short of it. So....it all started one day last fall at the beach where my husband and I were camping. We noticed people with buckets in hand (some with a kind of shovel) walking up and down picking up rocks and inspecting them and then every now and then dropping a few in their buckets. My curiosity got to me so I google it whereupon I found the answer. Went home and researched it a little more and the next time we went camping I was one of those people. lol

Welcome to the forum from Northern Arizona! Didn't take much to suck you in, did it? This hobby is a rabbit hole, so be careful or you will fall down it like the rest of us.

Welcome from lower NY state! Yes, nature makes most beautiful things and rocks are one of her specialties! Good luck collecting, it can be very rewarding.

It is like being two places at once. Only the upside of the rabbit hole is where you find rocks.
