The Rock Hunter kit is really cool. There were three rocks and an arrowhead "hidden" in this faux rock. The kit comes with safety goggles, a hammer, chisel, velvet drawstring bag to hold your treasures, and a poster to teach you about the rocks you find.
Nicholas was very precise with the hammer and chisel, at least for a little while.

Then he threw down the hammer and just pounded on the rock with the chisel. Ahh, he has the patience of a 5 year old :)

Ooops, notice the new band-aid on his finger. Learned a lesson the hard way but he's fine. And he has an arrowhead to show for it. And what's that? Another stone is starting to be revealed in the rock!

More chiseling reveals a cool piece of Chalcedony and Amethyst.
A fun project for learning about rock hunting, chiseling, and patience :)
