Spots in NJ?
Jan 29 2008, 10:14 PM EST
Hey, I'm new to treasure hunting and want to try to do it as a hobby occaisionally. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any areas for any kind of fossil, rock etc. In northern New Jersey or anything within about an hour distance. (Mid-South NJ, East/NE PA, or South NY). If so, I extremely thank you if you'd be able to leave a url for the place, phone number, address etc. any of those is fine. And maybe what can be found there and any other important information. THANKS A LOT :)

Hello there ... I didn't see any in NJ but there were a few inNew York and one in PA... Not sure how close they are for you but This is the site I use to find place all across the US to dig for treasure... http://www.lapidaryoutlet.com/page/page/2254783.htm or you can get a series of books by region yours would be called Northeast treasure hunters gem & mineral guide (Wheree and how to dig, pan and mine your own gems and minerals by Kathy J. rygle and Stephen F. Pedersen... Happy hunting Do you find this valuable? |

my suggestion is to look into joining a local mineral club - there are several in northern and central jersey as well as some in eastern pa. - there is a club in paterson, nj that meets the 2nd thursday of the month at the museum, there is a club at sterling hill museum in franklin, nj, there is a club that meets at the morristown museum - i dont know when those 2 meet. there is a club in allentown, pa that meets the 3rd monday of the month, a club in stroudsburg, pa that meets the first monday of the month at hughs library on rt 611. if you are interested in any of these please let me know and i will see what else i can find out for you - i think that is a good start
