Back east I never prospected much, was usually busy with work in Philly. But there are some decent gold bearing areas not too far from where you live. Gemstones also for that matter!

True, true. Mom was more of a rock hound really than a gold lover. So of course we screened for gems during our travels as well, and I have a BIG bag of those somewhere as well. Never found any diamonds though. Just rubies, sapphires, etc., and of course all in their rough state. Never even considered trying to find someone to cut them or sell them to.
