Hallo! I've collected these rocks from the creek bed on our estate for the last year or so. They come out of a hardened clay bank under some falls in the creek. They really stick out for they're very odd shaped, deep red in color with some orange on some rocks. They've VERY dense and rather...

Hello, this is my first post as a new member, although I have read many of the stories on here for some time now. I have some land in Eastern Ky, and that is where I found most of the rocks I am going to share pictures of. I am just trying to identify what I have found, and also share a few of...

Hi, I just found this site and joined. I was hoping someone could help me with identifying this rock and future finds. I found this in Northern MT. My guess would be some kind of Indian hammer, but for a little kid since its so small. It obviously used to have a strap or something tied around...

I used to collect rocks when I was younger, but for some reason I have always held on to this little mystery for all of these years. The rock is perfectly round and it seems to me that it is in fact a rock inside of a rock! Because of the color change of the crescent and round shapes. The...

I got this stone with a bird painted on it. What type of stone is it? It looks an orangy red on the back and has some glistning in it. Can anyone give me information on what type stone and any other information? It's translucent when held up to light. Thank you.

A long time ago my brother found this rather larger rock in northern ontario canada, I think near a river. it weights about 20lbs and measures about 6"wx12"l Any info/thoughts appreciated, I searched the net and could not find anything like it.

I usually make stone spheres, but once in a while I'll work with glass. I ran by a demo of some high gloss resin at Lowes the other day and thought I'd give an idea I had a shot using some recycled glass chunk rock I had lying around. I used a 4" culinary arts silicon mold for this one, but...

Howdy all! I'm new to the site but been doing this since i was 8. lol I recently hit a Sweet Vein with Gold Sulfate (silver combined) and a Ton of copper, molydemium, and some of the weirdest Schist ive ever seen. The formation is surrounded by sandstone limestone and Manhattan schist...

Hi All! I was doing a little digging in the back yard which is about 80% white quartz. I live right along Rock creek in Maryland. It Looks Like Gold To Me! But I would like to get an expert opinion. I wish the pictures were better but this is what I got.

Large rock found in woods, meteorite? Coral? SOLVED Here is a large rock I found in the woods in Rhode Island. It weighes 15 pounds exactly and feels like a coral consistancy. I have a few pics to show actual size. I also scratched it with a white porcelain tile that someone gave me to test for...

I found this stone as part of a foundation of an old home site in South Central Virginia. I believe it may be some type of Indian carving. Does anyone know what it might be?

Hi~I found this in 2002 in the garden spot that once was used to grow various crops of tobacco, corn, hay, etc. Field has been in use over 200 years. It is completely round, smooth, weighs one oz. Sounds like a rock when tapped against something. Color is white-grey. One idea was thought the...
