[QUOTE="Dughug, post: 225146, member: 157"] G'day Gypsum, Welcome to the forum. Your best bet to find fossicking locations is to join a gem club in your area. There are several Adelaide Clubs that regularly go fossicking for both old & gems. I often go out fossicking with the Murraylands Gem & Mineral Club. They have a monthly field trip where they look for a mix of minerals or gems and combine the day with a detecting location. Something for every one. I have just returned to Adelaide following a weekend away to Berri where we obtained some very nice cut-able banded quartzite from one of the local quarries. One of our members had a scratch in the cliffs and found quite a few fossils. A couple of members also had a swing and found a small quantity of coins. The Riverland Gem & Mineral Club held their bi-annual Gem show at the Berri town hall which was a good excuse to get away. Look up the nearest Gem Club to you on the following AFLACA site [url]http://aflaca.org.au/members/gem-and-mineral-clubs-association-of-south-australia-gmcasa/[/url] [/QUOTE]
