McDermitt 25 to 27 April

Please visit and support the federations

Check out the links page for videos related to rockhounding and working with gemstones. The current Federation Newsletter is available for reading on the member's only page. I have also removed the forum due to lack of use.

Collecting Rocks

I think that there shall never be
An ignoramus just like me,
Who roams the hills throughout the day
To pick up rocks that do not pay;
For there’s one thing I’ve been told
I take the rocks and leave the gold

O’er deserts wild or mountains blue
I search for rocks of varied hue
A hundred pounds or more I pack
With blistered feet and aching back,
And after this is said and done
I cannot name a single one.

I pick up rocks where e’er I go,
The reason why I do not know,
For rocks are found by fools like me
Where God intended them to be.
