    You did a very good job with this video young man 😉
    I'm a mineral collector living in Ohio and have been fortunate enough to have collected at many of these sites.
    You included just about everything I can think of that Ohio has to offer in minerals!!
    Again, nice job and thank you for posting 😁

      @@VRuiz333 Hello Vanessa!!
      Not sure if this question was intended for me, but I'll try to help ;)
      First thing I'd recommend is a day at the Nethers Farm near Flint Ridge State Park.
      The address here is 3680 Flint Ridge Road, Hopewell Ohio.
      Adults pay 7.50 each to collect and .50 per pound for what you decide to take home...an incredible bargain!! Also a great place for kids to collect ;)
      Here you'll find an abundance of beautiful colored flint, quartz crystals and occasionally barite crystals.
      You can actually collect without digging as the "knappers" will sometimes set the crystals at the top of some of the pits as they cannot use the material for crafting relics...Flint is literally covering the ground everywhere you look!!
      If you decide to dig, you'll need gloves, small shovel, hammers, chisels and safety glasses.
      Flint is very sharp, so take some band-aids!!
      Also, I'd recommend joining your closest rock and mineral club and Friends of Mineralogy.
      You can get into some of the various quarries through "Friends of Mineralogy"...check out the website.
      Hope this is of some help...Good Luck!!!

    I love learning about Ohio’s amazing geology, truly a hidden gem(ba-dum-ts). My dad, brother and I loved to go hiking at Malabar Farm/Mohican, it’s kinda been my second home (my dad even took his first steps there as a toddler and my grandmother used to go camping there at 16) Butternut trail has a small cave about a half mile in and if you’re not creeped out by the biggest fucking spiders you’ve ever seen you can climb through the mini cave system and come out on the roof of the cave, just watch for holes in the ground which go about 15-20 feet down. It’s a magical looking place all covered mosses As a kid I’d sit in there and listen to all the sounds of the cave, I think that cave is what made me fall in love with rocks...Also Ohio’s brown fluorite glows neon green under fluorescent lighting!!!

    That was so informative, Minnesota also has I think a hard rock gold mine by lake Vermilion, they had another strike I think in the 70's not sure. Check it out, but I know the states gemstone is Agate. Also I know for a fact that the Zumbro river in the south has a lot of gold.

    What about the historical references of the Shawnee Indians having had two silver mines in Ohio? ( in fact the word Shawnee means silver people and John Kinzie one of the founders of Chicago, was known to the natives as Shawneeakwe or silver man because his original trade was as a silversmith) one of these mines is rumored to now be covered by a reservoir, while the other is rumored to be located in a deep ravine on the campus of Antioch College.

    This might be off topic somewhat but hubby and I was pouring 'River Rock' stones in our dry water way from our down spout. The stones were purchased at Lowe’s Store. Anyway,I found a petrified mushroom in perfect condition. It’s about two inches tall, creamy color and shaped perfectly like a spruce. I wish I had noticed what state the stones came from. It’s now displayed in my curio. I also find soap stone here and there, on our property. We live in central Ohio. I’d love to hunt for gems,precious metals or anything that’s interesting.
