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.

Quartz can be clear, smoky, rose, cloudy, milky... It is one of the most common minerals in earth.
Feldspar is usually cream colored or redish. Both good indicator minerals, either in their own right or near other valuable stuff. But being so prevelant, more often than not, it won't mean anything. Research areas that historically produce and focus on them. -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558
