I think the Morefield Mines might be one of my favorite field trip spots overall. I love that you get to take home all the gems and minerals you dig for, pan, and otherwise find! My children were so happy to join my students on the field trip.
We came home with garnet chips, amethyst, and tons of milky quartz, smoky quartz, marble, amazonite, and other stones. I plan on using mine for the garden this year and to border the trees in my yard.
Since Parent/ Teacher Conferences and gearing up before Spring Break makes this always a busy time of year, it was so nice to spend a few hours doing something totally different. :)
