[Rockhounds] Collecting techniques questions

[Paintricks at aol.com]

Hi there,
  I see a lot of collecting sites given about our favorite place and  love 
all that I learn here.
  I have a question about collecting techniques.   How are  some of our 
favorites recovered?  What are the signs to look for in the  country rock that give 
us details about a minerals location?  How to dig  it, how to pick out areas 
driving by at 50 or better?  Anything.  A  lot of prospecting I do driving 
down old country roads off the beaten paths or  hiking.
  Any info on this would be good.  And any unusual ways to find  things in 
our areas.
  Thanks in advance,
   Kevin
