Hello, I am new to this group! Myself, and a fellow Rockhound are planning a Rockhounding trip to Arkansas from March mid April time frame. Any suggestions as to area, and what can be found would be greatly appreciated! Even, if you would like to guide us we can repay you with Wisconsin Cheese!

MsAli and I went to Mt Ida to dig for quartz crystals last year in March. We had a good time. There's also crater of diamonds state park which we'll be doing next time we go. Welcome to the forum from Northern MN

We’ve been to Mt. Ida several times. Known for clear quartz crystals.
Several mine owners also have shops in town. Well worth the trip. Adjacent areas also had roadside stands that sold the clear quartz crystals, but also really nice colorful glass slag.
I don’t remember what time of year we went, but it was very humid. Hard to dig in the fine red clay soil in high humidity. We weren’t used to any humidity.
Welcome from California.
