Where can I collect?????
The question asked the
most of this website: "Where
can I collect?" Join the
club! This is not a pitch
for new members, it is the
best answer. Many sites are
never open to the public.
Due to our commitment to
safety and the fact that
clubs like ours carry
insurance on each member,
quarries and mine dumps
often give us occasional
access that individuals do
not enjoy. Our low
membership fee allows you go
participate in dozens of
fieldtrips each year.
Still want to try on your
own? Try this book:
Gem Trails of Pennsylvania &
New Jersey
by Stepanski & Snow
It is available via
Amazon and other book
retailers. Keep in mind that
some of the sites in the
book are now closed to the
public as well. Always get
permission from the land
owner before collecting.
Make safety your number one
priority.
