Trilobite Hunting Trip

The Father's Day Trilobite Expedition

June 20th we will be enjoying a Father’s Day Trilobite Dig.

You will want to bring your 2 5-gallon buckets (We have some for sale.), hammers, chisels, newspaper to wrap your goods, sun screen, a hat and gloves, and lots of water to drink.

We are limited to 50 lbs of rock or 2 full 5-gallon buckets. This can constitute hundreds of trilobites—maybe thousands if you are really lucky.

I will be your personal guide through the trip and will help make sure you are a successful hunter.

As always, when you go with our group we get the “fun layer” of rocks brought out just for us. No one has filtered through the material before us. This dig, not with our group, is $200 per person, per day.

Come with our group and get the same deal for $100 per person for an all day dig (8 hours and maybe longer).

A New Dig, inc. is offering us a half day dig (4 hours from when you get to the dig) for $60.

Kids 5 and under are free.
