Hello Prospectors,

My name is Travis and I wanted to make a introduction, I have been cruising this forum for awhile and have decided to join your community, if you will have me.

I am a Geologist by trade and have worked in the mining industry for three years now. I have a unusual obsession with rocks and mining and love to go prospecting, rock-hounding and exploring abandoned mines in my spare time. I hope to get to know some of you and do my best to be a contributing member to this awesome community. Good luck on your prospects!

Welcome Travis, glad to have you aboard!

Welcome Travis! Sounds like you'll be a great addition to the group! Look forward to meeting you in the field some time!

Welcome Travis!

Your obsession for rocks is less unusual here. Of course we will have you. Good luck on your prospects too!

Thank you all, appreciate the warm welcome.

Have already learned alot on these forums, there is a vast wealth of knowledge on here. For example, didnt know there was labradorite to be found around Gunnison, definitely going to check that out. Just wish summer was starting and not winter right now. The snow just covers up all the good stuff IMO but that wont stop me from getting out on the nice sunny days.

Welcome Travis, make yourself right at home around the website. You'll fit right in perfectly here, great attitude!

Thank you for the compliments too, we all try to keep great info handy for those interested. Jump in to post up where ever ya' like, we'll all be looking forward to it.

Good luck on the labradorite hunt too!

Nice to have another western sloper here! I'm in the Gunnison area and I'm usually after the golden bits when I can get out, although any cool rocks come home that I can carry. Gold seems to consume me more than other minerals do for some reason. It must be the magical properties. You can't let a little winter time stop you around here.
The action all seems to be on clear creek these days!
