Geology for the Collector Class

Learn how to 'read the rocks' to find great things in the field.  Class is jargon free, and paced to students ability, so no science background is necessary.

You'll learn to identify rock types, and the land forms they produce.  This will help you distinguish good places to search.  Evaluate which roadcuts and construction areas are worth stopping at, as you whiz by at 70 m.p.h.  Bob once filled his pickup with amethyst clusters which had been unearthed and discarded by a road crew, because they missed the clues to crystals in rock.  How to read a geologic map.  Mom Nature gives us lots of hints; successful collectors know how to descipher them.  Bob teaches his prospecting secrets gleaned during 25+ years as a professional collector. Class is 8 hours of fun with a bunch of pretty rocks, and a few ugly ones.
