About RockLicker

Curiosity belongs in the field. Evidence belongs in the record.

RockLicker connects the day outside with the work that follows: planning a responsible visit, noticing what a specimen can tell you, and tracing a claim back to its sources.

RockLicker is developed by Matthew Dresel. Project inquiries currently use the public Rude Horses LLC support inbox.

Explore and learn

Regional guides offer geology and research starting points. The Field Planner helps you record the exact access, collecting and conditions checks for your own stop. Classroom activities and the Identify worksheet teach observation without promising a find or naming a specimen from a few clues.

Keep a field record

The Journal holds photographs and notes in your browser. You can edit records, print a specimen card and export a copy. There is no RockLicker account or shared collection in this public version.

Prospect with a source trail

Claim Scout and ClaimCheck organize map observations, seller statements and documents to request. A GIS row can start a question; it cannot establish a legal boundary, claimant authority, mineral estate, access or value. The live national geospatial engine and original-record reconciliation remain separate from this public site.

In the Sedona Lode #8 case, the original BLM and county records required for those conclusions are still pending. RockLicker withholds a rights-only value and transaction conclusion until the evidence is reviewed.

Our editorial rule: label seller assertions, dated map observations and reviewed original documents separately. Show the source, date and uncertainty behind consequential findings. A regional guide never grants access or collecting permission.
