Have you ever had interest in rockhounding?  Well.... also known as Amateur geology. I just don't want to sound like an amateur at anything lol
Interesting.  I have never heard of this before.  What kind of rocks or minerals are you looking for while doing this?
I personally look for anything valuable. You know, valuable minerals and/or gemstones 
I suppose valuable is always nice.  Do you need to have any special equipment to do this?
Oh yeah, I use an amateur geologist's principle piece of equipment, it's like my hammer, you should look into them, very strange me neat looking. I adjusted to using it fast
