Here we are
at Brownies Beach / BayFront Park in Maryland.
This was our first official Fossil Hunt! Our second hunt
was at the Matoaka
Cabins in Maryland.
It was kind
of cold the day we went. A storm was coming, the
wind was blowing in and it was high tide when we
arrived. We were planning to stay for low tide
when collecting is supposed to be best, but it started
raining and we had to call it a day. We hope to go
back soon to try again!
Here I am at
Dutch Wonderland Amusement Park in Lancaster, PA...
This is not a
usual place to go rock or mineral hunting...but if you
are there, you can get a bag of dirt to sift
through for only $5. They provide the sifter to
help you find different rocks & minerals. They
even give you a chart to let you know what you find (mineral
chart 1 -
mineral chart 2). Will & I found
Aventurine,
Raspberry Quartz,
Amethyst,
Sodalite,
Pyrite and lots of other rocks not pictured.
