Rockhounding at a Construction Site?!

  • Today we go for a trip rockhounding at a construction site! I have never been rockhounding at a construction site and it was a fun adventure! If this is something that you would like to do, please make sure that you are allowed to be there! Typically there are no trespassing signs when constructing new buildings however, road work construction is usually free game! Of course make sure you are being safe and staying away from any construction equipment.
    In this video we found some really unique rocks and a giant schist, feldspar, milky quartz conglomerate! It was pretty heavy and hard to lug back home but I think it was worth it! We also found some agates, red ootilitic jasper, conglomerates, and lots of schist!

    There were a couple beautiful finds here. But the cake most definitely goes to the giant one that needed a little digging!

    Wouldn’t you have to get permission to remove any stones etc?

      Hmm I guess I’m actually not sure! Just what I learned from other rockhounds! I might have to look into that! I would assume it’s fine because it is just like picking a rock up off the ground but I’m not sure!

    Hi Ariel. I have a question. I have a rock that looks plain when not wet but when it is wetted it is a bright/blood red color and a bright yellow on it but when it goes in water it bleeds. What kind of rock is it. Please and thank you 🙏🙏🙏
