Hey all,
I am an avid Rockhound who is fairly new to the hobby, having just started in the Summer of 2019. I am based in Tempe but I go out nearly every weekend to hunt for agates, jaspers, and other interesting minerals.
For the most part I have been doing these trips alone. I get information on line where I can and have run into some great rockhounds at a few locations but I feel like I’m missing something by not having more experienced people in the hobby to explore with. I know from the few rockhounds I have met that there are people going out to locations around the state all the time and I am hoping that some nice rockhounds might have me along on their trips. I have a Prius that I can drive 98% of the way to most locations but those rough roads to some sites has also been a limiting factor.
I am just looking to glean as much first hand knowledge as I can about a hobby that I’ve become absolutely enamored with. I hope this message reaches some receptive ears. My best to all of you.
Ian C

Best bet would be to join one of the clubs in your area. They'll have organized field trips and lots of people who could help you out.
