Andrew Johns My Bancroft Trip

Hello all!! Just returned today from the Bancroft area of Ontario. Made it to Craigmont Mtn and the Burgess Mine to look for some Corundum.. Corundum from the region is either barrel shaped or pencil like crystals.. I managed to find some small ones at Craigmont, a bluish color and a brown color. At Burgess I found a nice barrel shaped bronze colored xl about 4cmlong. Just a note, I found more Corundum at Burgess. Craigmont has been well picked over for many years so collecting can be spotty or… Continue

Bancroft trip

Well, we're back from Bancroft and I want to go back. Since I left it so late, could only find a one night accomodation. We went to the Princess Sodalite shop/rock farm, where we bought some rocks and "farmed" some more. Also went to the CN rock pile where my (9 yr old) daughter and I spent some time looking for treasures. Alot of pretty stuff! The van was quite weighed down on the way home! (Though I justify that by saying, we were one teenager less than usual, so the rocks didn't quite weigh a… Continue

A great way to get rid of those pesky bugs!

Hi all I was resently sent a email from a friend who is also a rock hound. On my last outing in the woods my kids and I were under attack by mosquitoes and black flies. Bug spray never seems to last long! My friend suggested buying listerine (yes the mouth wash) and using a spray bottle, to spray it on your self and your clothes. As I will try almost anything once I took his advise and surprisingly enough it works. I think I will use it instead of bug spray from now on. Its cheaper, works bett… Continue

Paulette Egeli Are there really other people on this site?

I've been on this site for a month plus and made a few comments and wowed some rocks and offered local info to people considering coming my way. Responses? zip. zero. It is not a very encouraging start to, "connect to people around the world who share the same interests as you!" Even a "yup" or "no I think its something else" would be, well, something.... I'm not expecting a dating site or hand-holding or the divulging of secret spots. Disgrunted Rockie (Paulette Egeli) Continue

Paulette Egeli Canadian new to site

First off, the picture is not a picture of me - its of my husband in raingear! I look a lot like this in raingear. We were on a club outing this February at the Fraser Valley bars looking for jade (nope), jasper, agate. quartzite and anything else that needed to be lugged home. We are building a rock workshop in our back yard after realizing that queuing up at the club workshop and paying per slab to cut stuff wasn't so good. We live on Vancouver Island which was an arc island complex - basalt,… Continue

Taralee Where to search in Canada?

I'm looking to go geode hunting this spring, and was wondering if anyone knows where (IF) in Alberta/BC I can find them? Possibly the Wells Gray volcanic area? Any info would be great since online web-stories are vague, and there are no direct websites with solid facts about that area. Thank~you! Taralee~ Continue

Dan Hausel HOW TO FIND AND RECOGNIZE GEMSTONES (http://gemhunter.webs.com)

http://gemhunter.webs.com/ I am currently working on a website that tells how to recognize various gemstones in outcrop and where to look for them. Hope you all have the opportunity to look over this site. Over the past 30 years, I conducted research and exploration as a consultant in the search for gem, gold, base metal deposits and conducted research on Archean geology as well as kimberlites and lamproites (host rocks for diamonds). I was lucky enough to find several hundred mineral deposits… Continue
