Hello from Gem central NC!

Hello how're you all?
I am from NC, though that may change in the future since I move a lot. I am 15 years old trying to learn about gems that could be valuable and find them or find some rumors like lost confederate gold haha! I don't know much about finding treasure and knowing what is and what isn't valuable around here. But I am here to learn! ^^

Oh also I found this but I am not sure what it is. Could someone tell me about it. *noob*

Thank you for the welcome River Rat!

And a ruby $.$ would such a small one be worth anything? I am hoping to get a metal detector
