How to Contributenew member

I am quite new to mineral collecting and stumbled onto this website by accident. However some accidents are meant to be. This is the BEST website I've ever seen. It is SO packed with info that you don't see in books and I've learned more off this site than the 5 books I went out and bought.
Coming from Scotland (west coast) I have decided to concentrate my collection on Scottish stones, especially agates which are apparently prolific in this area, and I have picked up one or two bits on a couple of beaches but they're not big. I would also like to collect amethyst and smoky quartz, the other two big names in Scotland but I wonder if anyone could help suggest any other easy minerals to collect (without having to hike up glens and abseil down cliff faces!)
Your help is appreciated and I will let you all know how I get on.
Thanks
p.s. How does one get listed on the members list?

If you type your region, ie, Ayrshire, in the Localities search, a list of sites will be displayed along with minerals from those sites. Then just take your pick.
