We want every place on USA Rockhounding to be accurate and current. When we get something wrong, we fix it quickly and openly.
How to report a problem
Use the contact form and choose “Report a change at a site” or “Correction to a page”. Include the page address or place name, what is different, and how you know (a sign, a letter from the land manager, a link to a new rule, or a photo). Photos with a date are especially helpful.
What happens next
- We read every report, usually within a few days.
- We check the land manager’s or operator’s current published information.
- If the report is confirmed, we update the place, its status and its last checked date.
- If a place has closed or collecting is no longer allowed, we change its status rather than deleting it, so that others can see the change.
- Where a correction is significant, such as a site closing or a rule changing, we note it on the page.
Crediting contributors
With your permission, we credit visitors who send photos, field notes or corrections by name on the page they helped improve.
Land managers and operators
If you manage land or run a collecting site shown on the map and want to correct or update its information, please contact us. We give priority to reports from land managers and operators and will link to your official page.
