I struggled to find rockhounding websites where the author had actually visited the locations.
And many resources weren’t easy to use on a phone or led to inaccessible land…
So I created this:
rockhoundingmap.com makes visiting new rockhounding spots easy - and I’ve driven over 70,000 miles to visit all locations below myself!
Quality Over Quantity
While you won’t find spots in every state, a quality-focused approach is used as locations are added over time.
Phone-Friendly
Pages are simple and load quickly - great for when you’re in places with low cell reception.
Ownership Checked
Each location is checked against a land map to help keep us on land we’re allowed to explore.
Below is the list of locations alphabetically by state:
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Georgia
Idaho
Michigan
Minnesota
Montana
North Carolina
New Mexico
Ontario
Oregon
South Carolina
South Dakota
Utah
Washington
Wisconsin
Wyoming

Me!
My name is Griffin, and I run a small YouTube channel surrounding my hobby of rockhounding. On weekends, I can often be found selling rocks & minerals in North Carolina.
I am passionate about sharing our hobby and helping people get more adventure out of their time outdoors.
