Found the pink one at the top of my spring.

Im pretty sure they some type of iron rocks and was curious if there are any valuable minerals inside which causes the colors and shapes. Any help would be appreciated. The forms/shapes of these rocks are crazy. Lots of different colors.

Nice looking finds you got there! Can't tell you much about the strange looking rocks except that they look cool. haha Anyway, I can tell you about the pink stone. You've got yourself a nice piece of rose quartz. I'd keep scouring the area--there's bound to be more!

Thanks! Nice to know. Funny thing is that i have multitudes of the weird ones and only 1 rose quartz. I honestly dont know much ab where to look. Maybe you can help on these as well.

Looks like cave country.
Is there a way to locate a cave. I will not risk anything bc I know they can be dangerous. Ive been reading up on karst topography and our property seems to fit it to the "T"

The search and stumble method is sometimes the best, LOL!! However, some of the older analog metal detectors and especially so, the old White's Metal Detectors can sometimes locate a void, tunnel or cave in the ground. You just have to know what to listen for in the signal to know!

Hey TheTh3rd, sorry to get back to you so late on that second batch of photos. It's a bit hard to determine exactly what they are based on the photos. However, I believe they are either mudstone or limestone mixed with a small amount of quartz. I would err on the side of mudstone based on where you are finding the stones.

I don't know what part of the Country you are located but the hollow and ridges around the spring look very good for Deer, Turkey, Ginseng, other herbs and edible Mushrooms besides the possibility that there could be some Gold!

The turkeys stay up on the mountain so I rarely see any, but behind my house is deer central! Weve even had 2 bears show up a few years back

The pinkish one is possibly K Feldspar.
