Tips: searches about 20 miles around your place. Add “within 10 miles”, “on Hwy 101” or “south of Venice” to narrow it. A town, hotel or address works too. Use ⚙ Filters (or type “freestyle”) to skip the well-known sites.
A true Geolocational IntelliScan takes a minute or two. If you find that impressive rather than annoying — welcome, you’re among friends.

Before your first scan
Rockhound Scout finds promising spots from geologic, road and stream maps. Nobody has visited or checked these spots.
It does not check property lines, road right-of-way, collecting rules, or safety. Roadside right-of-way may end at or near the pavement, nearby land is often private, and creek banks and bridges can be steep or unstable.
ROCKHOUND SCOUT — HOTSPOT CARDS
Spots are picked from geologic and road maps, not visited or verified. Confirm you can legally and safely access a spot before you stop; get the landowner’s permission before collecting. RockhoundScout.com
