Rockhounding owns! I used to do some hobby prospecting in the pegmatitic dikes of southern california on the hunt for the "piggy peg" (mostly for tourmalines). It is such a great feeling to have spent hours researching and verifying legal status before driving hours into the BLM backcountry then orienteering correctly to find an abandoned mine or tailing site. Even if all I got was smokey quartz and large shorals just correctly figuring it all out was a blast. Best results were always on the pay digs but getting to meet some of the old miners usually made it worth the entry fee. Plus any excuse to play in mud!
