Hi Gita, Bob & I did that with the Central Pa Rock & Mineral Club for the last two years, collecting all over Pennsylvania and a place in Delaware. I plan to go on some more trips in 2011 but only to places we haven't been, yet. Our Christmas party is Friday evening & we are to bring a present (for a man or woman, or both), that is fossil or mineral related. Some lucky woman is going to get a small rack of Amythist crystals from me and some lucky man is going to get a pretty agate pendant with druzy inside it from Bob. Can't wait to go. I guess I am making up for "lost time" on these trips, since I was always curious about fossils & minerals, but never did anything about it until I retired. Glad to hear you are into that neat stuff, too. Thanks. Judy
By the way, the trilobytes in the pix are Crytholithus 443 million yrs old, Ordovician period.
