Im new to this forum and just seeing if anyone is interested to go out looking for gems and possibly showing me some basics. Such as what are the signs to look for, for a successful trip. I've went out a few times but have no idea what im doing really or what to actually look for, lol. Im free this weekend if possible. Or maybe just some quick tips on here would be nice.

Anyone had any luck finding anything in the Golden Gate Canyon area, like well anything within a 2 hour drive west of Denver? Also I keep seeing things about quartz and feldspar being good indicators to for good finds. Is that true? And how to tell those two apart? Because I keep looking at pictures. And though quartz from what I see can be sharp and crystal looking I also seen pictures where is look very similar to feldspar (which is what I think I keep seeing everywhere) because its very cloudy. And from what ive read quartz is a little more clear.
