Elley Ringo will be leading a field trip to 4 different turquoise mines outside of Tonapah, NV starting April 18th thru the 21st. April 22 will be Gem Fields, NV for trilobites.
This is a paid dig. Each mine is $125 per person, or $100 per person if you dig at all four mines and you keep what you find! Gem Fields NV is a paid dig on the honor system of a dollar per pound.
A four wheel drive high clearance vehicle is required. It’s about a 5 hour drive to the location and the Needles Gem Club will also be attending.
**We will have more information in the next few weeks about the exact mines we will be going to. You don’t have to go to all four mines, however they each are very different.**
Elley will provide more information on campsites and hotels as we get closer to the dates.
