Hi.<br /> I am a beginner rock collector and I am going to be collecting with my kids. I would love to know some places that are good to search for rocks/minerals/gemstones in Southern Ontario. I am in Simcoe County. I am also not far from Belfountain; I have heard there are some good sites there but I don't know where. My kids and I are very excited to get out and search for rocks/minerals/gemstones.<br /> If anyone knows of sites to rock hound in the area I would love to hear about them.<br /> Thanks!

Writing Academic <b><a href="http://www.usatermpapers.com">Term Papers writing</a></b> is the most frightening event that takes place in my education career.

Initially when I moved to Evansburg, Alberta I never knew much about the history of the area. But lately I am kind of sorry I have to sell my house as the Evansburg/Entwistle area use to be home to several mining companies mining slate in the Pembina gorge. Apparently, from what others have told me you can find diamonds and gold along the river basin.<br /> <br /> Kind of a shame I have to move, but such is life. I do not think all the people every year that tube down the river ever look up why there is suc…

Good Day Fellow Rockhounds<br /> I am in the process of doing market research to show there is a market wanting the product I design and fabricate.

Good Day Fellow Rockhounds<br /> I am in the process of doing market research to show there is a market wanting the product I design and fabricate. Most everyone wears or owns some type of personal adornment.<br /> I like my jewellery to be unique. I love being a Silversmith and jewellery artisan.<br /> Becoming a member of this website has opened an avenue to Canadian stones and gems. I hope to do business with some of you in the future. I would love to use Canadian found stones in my Canadian made jewellery. I am not looking for perfect, I am looking for unusual, visually interesting "jewels" for my jewellery.<br /> I am interested in finding out how any of you sell the things you find or make. My primary interest is to sell my jewellery but I see I can help others in the process, I just need to think BIG enough.<br /> My ultimate goal is to open a store/studio/gallery or even a museum to exihibit collections. There is nothing like it where I live. There are too many Galleries in Toronto and I live in WestGTA. We are growing as a City and need more culture. Every one paints and I have been looking for local galleries to sell my work but nothing exists in Mississauga for jewellery/metal artists. I want to be the First!<br /> I have a time limit for doing this market research for the program I am attempting to gain access to, so a prompt reply would be very nice. I need to find, want to find "the other communities" that will benefit. Just because I have Post Secondary education doesn't mean I wasn't a "handi-crafter" at some point in my life.<br /> BUT...I know what you all do can be more than a mere hobby. As Rockies you all have a passion lost in the real art world. I suppose in a way I am endeavoring to start a Community outside of this virtual site. Any ideas or interest is greatly appreciated.<br /> All the best in your rock hounding and arts,<br /> Frances tag:canadianrockhound.ning.com,2009-08-18:2753072:Topic:5121 2009-08-18T23:23:15.262Z Raymond Bronson

I am fortunate to be going on a hiking trip to this park in the near future and was wondering what kind of minerals/gems I can find there and if so where is the best spot to look.

Hello all, I'm going to ask this once again as I think its beneficial to the site progressing forward. If you post a pic could you please type in what we are looking at. There is a spot for describing minerals etc when you post a pic. There just seems to be many pictures of nice specimens etc and no description. Am I alone in this matter?? Not everyone in a seasoned Geologist..<br /> <br /> Thanks Andrew

I want to check out the mine at the site but I am wondering if I need to go as far as the chute itself or not on a one day trip.

Hi All,<br /> Being so new to this, I'm looking for hints & tips..........where to go (Bancroft area or thereabouts) that would be child (9yr) friendly. Where to buy supplies (safety glasses, rock pick??........no idea)?<br /> We are going to the Bancroft Gemboree and would like to go rock hunting also. Have read that the Chamber of Commerce offers field trips, would I have to register ahead of time?<br /> Any advice would be much appreciated!<br /> thanks,<br /> Marion
