Hi! I'm Cathy and sort of new to the whole rocking arena. I live in the Catskill Mountains in Southern Upstate NY and am finding it difficult to find other rockhounds in the area. An online friend recommended the site and boards and I'm really impressed with it! There's a lot to learn here!!! Anyway, looking forward to seeing all of you out there posting and find myself doing so as well. Good luck with your tumbles!

hi Cathy! i'm in CNY, the reason you don't find many rockhounds around here is cuz we ain't got no good rocks. granite, granite, slate and granite. (spam, spam, rat and spam) ok, we have Herkimer diamonds, but they don't tumble well. we have a few garnets, but very localized. i do my rockhounding on eBay..........but welcome to the RTH forum!

Hi KD, Actually, you forgot quartz...lots and lots of quartz. I've joined up with the Poughkeepsie group which does travel about a bit but what really surprised me in this state is how hostile they are to rocking! I mean, notfurnuthingbutt, there is a serious amount of rock here and fossils but you can't touch most of it. I hunt on Etsy and ebay both, but for me, getting out there and finding them myself is incredibly relaxing! Great to meet you and thanks for the post!

Cathy- Greeting from the great state of Texas. If you need rocks, you can get some really good bargains right here on RTH. I have done a lot of trades with folks on this website and I have been extremely happy with the results. I work on a ranch and find a lot of pet wood, agates, jasper, and flint. So, once again, welcome aboard.
