Stingray Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Well I booked a trip with Stratford Hall to do a fossil trip. If your going, be sure to PM me so we can say hello. I figured for 35 $ it was a decent deal get to explore more of the beach and I guess they have a few local people who know the geology well. The other option was 10 $ with limited beach access and no one to give me some geologic advise. If I like this one there is another in October I’ll sign up for again. Has anybody on TFF ever been to one of these events? Thanks Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cck Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Hi Chris… I think you will be happy with this trip, even though the summer is usually not the best time for collecting, you are sure to find something interesting.Also, it’s it’s one of the very few legal opportunities to walk under the cliffs on the Potomac in Virginia … the geology is stunning. Which date are you signed up for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 Nice haul , looking forward to it. Do you sift or just spot collect ? I’ll probably bring a sifter but wondering if I should build my own with two layers of size ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 so, who runs these outings? In case I ever get to the area at non-Xmastime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
