Pyrite!(fools gold) In Missouri road cut

[@joedadbod8450]

EXCELLENT finds from both you and Tony, my friend! You guys got all of the good ones about a week or so before my son and I went out there. LOL Seriously though, so glad you guys got to get out there for a bit and had some fun hounding.

[@wrightrocks6303]

Thanks my friend! There’s always plenty hiding at that spot. It’s just a matter of battling the heat at the moment

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Excellent work on the cleanup! This is a cool spot. Definitely on my list!

[@wrightrocks6303]

We’ll show you where it’s at when you come out this way. There’s always plenty there to find

[@stumped463]

Very cool . Where I live the rivers are swollen from snow melt but this fall rock hounding will be a priority.
Nice job thanks for the video .

[@wrightrocks6303]

Thanks for stopping by and also commenting. 👍🏻

[@diggingappalachia954]

Nice haul, they look great all cleaned up

[@wrightrocks6303]

Thanks!

[@crystalminerrocks6122]

Excellent finds.... wondering if highway patrol ever run you guys off?

[@wrightrocks6303]

So far, they’ve never bothered us. I know many other rockhounds in the area that go to this same spot also. I know some places it’s frowned upon. But no issues yet in our area.

[@andymyers8560]

So cool I think my kids would love searching for these

[@wrightrocks6303]

I bet they’d love it too!

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Wow! Really nice specimens would have thought the iron out would ruin them, but the short soaks seem to do well.

[@wrightrocks6303]

Yea iron out does really well on cleaning them up. I think I finally got the process down that this pyrite needs. It was a battle way back when I first started collecting at this area.

[@gregwright6281]

That's awesome! Is this near Jane, Missouri?

[@wrightrocks6303]

Yes that’s the spot! Nice last name also 👍🏻👍🏻

[@loriazevedo5994]

What do you do with them ? Also gold is almost always found with pyrite. Do you ever find gold.

[@wrightrocks6303]

I just collect minerals as a hobby and also sell to those that want to purchase. Haven’t found any gold yet

[@loriazevedo5994]

Is that garnets with them ?

[@wrightrocks6303]

No garnets with them and haven’t seen any actual gold there

[@KattD.]

And folks, don't even think about smelting pyrite down to make gold bars lolol Don't say I didn't warn ya!...
