Yeah, that's right....Jade.
I thought I'd start a jade rendezvous for Washington...just a show and tell event for serious WA jade hunters to show everyone else what they have and trade stories. Maybe hold one this spring (late). Suggestions, sites and dates appreciated. It could just start out as a wiki rendezvous but I'll personally email the WA folks not on the wiki to join as well...and whereever else I can put out the word. I know Aaron knows some folks and I bet Redrummd would like to come as well...maybe he could host in fact!? He has a property that folks can camp on and a shop on the primises....I'll email him. All thoughts welcome. ~Zeke

I'm thinking about trying to find some rhodonite around the Lake Cavanaugh area...I know Bob knows where I am talking about, but I don't think I'll find it with out a little more help than his directions in his book. I'm posting this, then looking at satellite images to pin point the two lakes he references...any help would be nice. i've been meaning to do this for a while. When aaron and i went out halloween, i found a piece of something eroded from the glacial till accross the rosd from pilchuck at the confluence of bear that had little plebs of pink...i've also found a pebble of solid Rhodonite with the black on Deer Creek (Oso).

Lets think through the South Dakota Gemboree for The Treasure Hunters Wiki . Let's settle on a date. . How about a date in June or over Labor Day. The CRAWFORD ROCK SWAP is over the Labor Day Weekend, September 4,5,6, & 7th, 2009 and is the Fairburn Agate get together. Field trips are planned. Here is a link for the Crawford Rock Swap and Custer State Park.
http://www.lakotafairburn.com/shows.htm http://www.sdgfp.info/Parks/Regions/Custer/custersp.htm At the State Park there are RV Hooks Ups, Camping, Cabins, Lodges (hotels) fishing, herds of wild life, and it is in the center of all the great Rockhounding. There are great National Parks within a short drive: Badlands National Park, Wind Cave National Park, Jewell Cave National Monument, Mount Rushmore, and there is two great museums: SD School of Mines, and Black Hills Institute. Specimens to collect in the area include Tee Pee Canyons Agate, Tourmaline, Beryl, Rose Quartz and numerous other minerals. At Two Hearts there is Fairburn Agate, Moss Agate, Barite Crystal Clusters, Bubble Gum Agate, Prairie Agate, Great Marine Fossils and colored Jaspers. Bill

A few things i've done today to clean things up..
All links remain the same. Nothing should be broken, if it has become let me know and i'll fix it.. 1. Moved "Mining Laws & Terms" page to the "Educational Guides" folder & added it to the index page with a link. 2. Moved Classified Ad's page to the Top level and ordered it towards the top of the site to make it more visible. How did I never see this before? 3. Moved new beautiful Opal's page to the Opal's folder under "Hunting for Treasure > Gems and Minerals > Opal". Link's should remain the same. 4. Alphabatized the entire "Your Treasure Hunter Profile" folder. This alot of the MEAT of our site. There is about a hundred pages here with TONS of information. At least now it's in the right order to find a page. As you can imagine, the slow manual bubble sort method was the only way to do this.. Oh how i wish for direct database access.... 5. Moved Skeeters work page into the Your Treasure Hunter Profile folder and put it in order so its easy to find. This will be an ongoing effort i'll try to do once a month or so... If you have any problems, questions, concerns, or ideas about what we can do to make this great site easier to navigate please don't hold back. I am very open to people helping out :-) -Jake

I thought this might be an interesting subject......That is, the varying terms used by geologist and what they are really saying...because we all know they are aliens and have a piss poor grasp of the English language.........

Hey ya Ladies and Gents,
I am going to try to sneak over to Central Oregon next weekend (Nov 14th-15th) if the weather is nice and hit the limb cast areas. I saw a huge pink limb cast at an antique mall on the coast last weekend and now I've got the "fever" to find one of my own. Anyone care to share their favorite spots either int he forum or in a personal message with me? :) It will just be me and my hubby going and what's said in the treehouse stays in the tree house (if you are picking up what I am throwing down). Also, would anyone like to come with? I have room for two more in my rig or we could meet up in Prineville. :)

i saw some of the services for 9/11 yesterday. i remember exactly where i was, and the first few things that i did after that.
i thought that maybe this thread could be for several reasons, but NO POLITICS, please. 1. a list of those family members that are in the service, were in the service, went to war, etc. 2. stories you've heard from those who have been in the service, like parents, sisters, brothers, friends. ok. i'll go first. my 18, soon to be 19 year old nephew, Evan Beuk, was in the civil air patrol as a junior member all through high school, and rotc in his senior year. last summer he joined the air force, knowing that a few weeks after he graduated from high school, he was going to basic. He's finished, i think, now finished at Lackland AFB, and is or will be off to a base in mississippi. what are his future plans? to be an air traffic controller!! my dad joined the navy 9 months before the end of the war. Because he had a master's degree in biochemistry, they made him a pharmacists mate. dad used to tell us, as children, about sailing the high seas, being in huge waves, and being in such a big ship, that he never felt them. we sure believed that for years, until mom FINALLY spilled the beans, he trained at great lakes, and was stationed at every land-locked base in the US. as a 30+ year old, we had a neighbor who was a lifer in the navy, and was out for at least 15 years. when i told him what dad did while in the service, he literally doubled over with laughter!!! i couldn't understand the laughter until he told me that dad was a p---er-checker!!! at the time, i was mortified! Bill, our neighbor, told us that i turned every colour red, and then turned absolutely white. when dad came to visit us the next time, i asked him about it. apparently it was just part of his duties. he also gave baths, passed out medications, took out stitches and things like that in the base hospital. nan

Has any Washington rockhound gone after the highly priced and very rare Ellensburg Blue Agates.
Since the site is western Washington, some of you hounds should have become filthy rich. Ha Ha lol Bill

I was thinking about the name change idea. If we just changed the name of the first page to
'Treasure Hunting & Rock Hounding Wiki' OR 'RockHounding & Treasure Hunting Wiki' {with or without the space} We would be listed higher in a search for 'rockhounding' or 'rock and hounding' and let's face it, that's what this wiki is about. Other collecting hobbyist's needs are already being filled by other sites we have no hope of competeing with or whose 'treasure' locations are treated as 'treasure locations', that is, secret. It is nice to include everything though too. But to take an example: Sea Glass is often brought up as an example of other than rockhounding things on this wiki. But A) it is just rockhounding for man-made rocks...in the same localities as when rockhounding. B) the only reason we have so much info on the subject is because it became an advertising war between various dedicated sites. I think that if we were serious about 'other treasures' we'd set up sister sites with wetpaint on it as administrers. If the forums are more focused we might actually attract more to them. It is a search problem as well as clutter problem. A mushroom hunter doesn't want to have to wade through posts that have nothing to do with mushrooms so they don't really join the wiki. Right now we are not paying for this service (ad free) but the sister sites would have ads. We just find someone to mod each forum. With links we could almost meld the sister sites to our main wiki. I believe this is the way to grow a better wiki..of course it would take time, but we could try just one sister site on a subject we think would be a good canidate for this...any thoughts? ...
