Hello fellow Utahns! I have been looking to get into off-the-beaten-path hounding. I have done several of the pay/free areas in Utah and surrounding states. They are fine, but not hitting the spot anymore. I’ve been doing a lot of research and joined local clubs on Facebook and am planning on going on some group digs. However, I still have some questions and want to make sure I am understanding rules of the hobby correctly (and Utah specific rules). Would anyone here be willing to let me message a few questions?

Also, this is a newer/alternative account- long time Redditor, but for safety reasons, I don’t need that account connected to where I live.

Are there other tailings other than the main hill to the left when you get to Maxfield?

I've found my people, 🤟 ROCK ON!

Hey everyone I just moved to Utah from Michigan and am looking for somewhere close to where I am located to start rock hunting to start my searches in Utah. Any suggestions would help. Thanks!

we are headed for mountains to beat the heat :)

Headed to Topaz Mountain next week. It's my first visit to the area/state, hoping to find some quality material to make a ring for my GF. Any recommendations on where to dig in the area would be highly appreciated as I was only able to get approved for one week off work.
