June 2018 Program:

“Places to Go; Rocks & Minerals to Collect”
Presented By: Chris Ward & Bob Knox
Come and explore with us all the many places you can go to collect rocks, minerals and fossils. Be it just for a day, over a weekend or for a full-blown family vacation, you’re likely to find many treasures to take home from the collecting spots highlighted in this presentation. Some locations are free of charge while others charge a fee to dig. But all are fun and exciting to visit and you get to keep all that you find. Learn about the AFMS collecting “Code of Ethics” and what equipment you will need to bring along to help facilitate your collecting efforts. We will have samples on hand from many of the locations. Join us for this fun and informative presentation. We will also have a handout with the contact info and website addresses for all of the locations for your easy reference.
