What's New in Rockhounding.org

1.1.0

October 11, 2026

A new look that matches rockhounding.org: daylight colors, clearer type and bigger buttons on every screen. Site pages answer "Can I collect here?": who owns the land, whether the spot is claimed, and the claims within a mile (Pro). Minerals show with photos, and the next site in the state is one tap away. The map has quick buttons for satellite, land owners and mining claims, and claims are easier to tell apart. Home shows the sites nearest you with photos, what you can find near you, and the next rock and gem shows. Pro now includes Rock ID Pro: one membership, both apps.
