Spring Show!
The Delaware Valley Earth Science Society (DVESS) and the North East
Field Trip Alliance (NEFTA) invite you to share an international
collecting experience. Last year, this field trip attracted dedicated
collectors from across the globe. Be one of them this year. Read the
following terms, then contact the coordinator below to reserve your
spot . . .
1. The facilities fee shall be $20 per person for all day and night
Saturday.
2. Collecting hours are from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and 7:30 PM to 11:00
PM.
3. The daylight collecting fee is $1 per pound. The Saturday night fee shall be $2 per pound from 7:30 PM to 11:00 PM. The total limit
for the day is 300 lbs.
4. The owner shall provide running water, rest room facilities, a
dark room, electricity, a snack bar, a bulldozer, and tools for sale. UV
lights are available for purchase at the Franklin Mineral Museum &
the Sterling Hill Mining Museum.
5. All collectors must carry liability insurance that covers damage
to the property, such as the insurance offered by the EFMLS to its affiliate clubs. Your club must co-sponsor the trip in order to be
covered by Federation policies. (Collectors may join the DVESS if they have no other means of proper insurance. Proof of personal
liability policy is also acceptable). Collectors enter at their own risk and sign a hold-harmless liability waiver.
6. Standard Federation safety rules apply-safety goggles and
substantial footwear mandatory (no sneakers or sandals); gloves strongly recommended; children under 9 years not permitted.
7. All collectors are responsible for their own transportation and
lodging arrangements.
8. A minimum of 100 collectors is required. Attendance is by advance
reservation-please do not delay! If you are staying overnight, the hotels fill up quickly, so reserve early!
9. Participants also receive a coupon good for $1 off admission to
the Sterling Hill Mining Museum on Sunday!
10. We will also dig at Sterling Hill on Sunday: 9 AM - 3:30 PM, $1
per pound. There is a $10 admission fee which applies to the first ten pounds; $1 per pound thereafter.
If this sounds like an opportunity you don't want to miss, send an
SASE, proof of insured club affiliation or proof of personal
liability insurance, and a check for $20 per collector made out to
DVESS to:
