Maine Mineralogical and Geological Society members get out into the field to collect minerals.
We organize several mineral collecting trips each year at mines and other mineral collecting localities in New England with occasional trips to productive localities in other states. Membership in the club often provides access to otherwise closed localities.
You must be a member of the club to participate in field trips. All participants must register with the trip leader prior to the cut-off date for the specific trip.
Below, we list the mineral collecting localities we plan to visit in 2010. Please click on a mine locality link for more information. Additionally, we have a members-only posting that lists each of the trips and their dates HERE. The dates and times for these trips are intentionally omitted from this page for security reasons. Member access to the full trip information will require that members login to this website with their username and password. If you have difficulties logging in, please CLICK HERE.
