Its sad that you learned everything you know about fossicking and mineral deposits and areas to fossick from google. No one personally shared any info with you at all. You shouldnt limit yourself to where you gain your knowledge.
You really should get out and talk to people.
You would be amazed...
Begging for spots?
I asked for recommendations.
Not everything is on google you know.
Local knowledge from back in the day is not.
Talking to locals helps.
Unfortunately my local lapidary club is no more, it shifted to other interests and all previous members That I have tracked are dead or no...
