The first three rocks in the first picture are probably rose quartz.

haha no dude that's some fines and small nuggets i mined. if you want to find jars full of gold get a small sluice box, pan, good boots, flathead shovel, camo jacket (multi-toned and reversible preferably) and some good maps and work the old timers tailing piles probably your best bet. what area you in?

**Personal use and commercial obsidian mining is under a temporary moratorium for the 2020 season (https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/modoc/news-events/?cid=FSEPRD697609).**
The volcanic deposits found in the Warner Mountains come in many forms. From the light weight pumice sometimes called “floating rocks” to the dense, glass-like obsidian, the colors and diversity are amazing. The Warner Mountains are famous for the variety of obsidian and for the 4 mines where the public can, with a permit, collect it. The four mines, Pink Lady, Lassen Creek Rainbow, Needles and Middle fork Davis Creek are all located within a few miles of US Hwy 3 95 near the Oregon border. The colors of obsidian range from jet black, to grey, to pink. Rainbow obsidian, found at the Rainbow mine and Middle Fork Davis Creek is sought after for its colorful sheen. Pink obsidian from Pink Lady and the bundles of obsidian needles from the Needles mine are most popular.
Obsidian is dense volcanic glass, usually rhyolite in composition and typically black in color. Obsidian is often formed in rhyolite lava flows where the lava cools so fast that crystals do not have time to grow. Glass, unlike crystals, has no regular structure and therefore fractures in smooth, curved shapes. The intersections of these fractures can form edges sharper than the finest steel blades. For this reason, obsidian was used by many native cultures to make arrowheads and blades.
On the Modoc National Forest, obsidian excavation may be done during the open season (May-October depending on weather and road conditions) under a Free Use Authorization at any of the four designated common use areas: Lassen Creek Rainbow Mine, Needles Mine, Middle Fork Davis Creek Mine, Pink Lady Mine. Excavation is allowed at these locations only. The Free Use Authorization allows a visitor to collect a predetermined amount per year of obsidian for their own personal use. This obsidian may not be sold or traded. Collection for resale is a violation of the Free Use Authorization permit.

Lol. That’s a cool stash.
I’m near Annapolis MD. I’ve never heard of any kind of gold being found in the area but admittedly I know nothing of geology and proper rock hunting. I just started realizing how much cool stuff is just hanging out in the ground.
I really want to find some amber. There is some in the state I read but it’s up a ways from me.
