== == Metamorphic rocks can be found at great depths within the Earth's crust, at the base of mountains, or in contact zones where plutonic intrusions have metamorphosed the host rock via high temperatures.
Metamorphic rocks can indeed be found at great depths within the crust, but for a rockhound, finding them elsewhere is not a problem. Areas that have experienced previous glaciation (as far south as Central Illinois in the last period of glaciation) are full of metamorphic erratic rocks, transported and dropped by the ice. Visitors to Colorado can find an abundance of metamorphic rocks in the eroded Rocky Mountains, many dating to the Pre-Cambrian. Californians, too can collect meta's in eroded mountains and in formations such as the San Onofre Breccia. No glaciation? Look around eroded mountains.
