MMGS organizes field trips to significant collecting localities, most of which are not open to the general public, throughout the “dig season”, approximately May through October. MMGS field trips are open only to MMGS members in good standing who have filed a signed release form with the MMGS Field Trip Director. Participation in field trips requires current membership and advance registration, so the actual schedule of trips is sent only to current MMGS members. Space on field trips is limited, so persons who have not registered in advance and received confirmation of their reservation for that trip may not participate.
We do our best to MANAGE these digs, but space is limited and we try to be fair to everyone. Please watch your email for availability for members.
Mt Apatite. I love that most of those people didn't know each other before that morning. Everybody is so friendly and helpful, delighted to show off their finds and newbies are well looked-after. :)
