Bachman Mine, Pennsylvania

Here is a very nice location in Eastern Pennsylvania that is may still accessible. I visited this location about 10 years ago. At the time the owner was allowing collectors. Good material good still be found. Beraunite very nice found in phosphate-rich nodules/concretions.

Just a few of the 200,000+ locations in DRC.Why rely on a website when you could own the database yourself for only $34.00 with shipping!

Tin Mountain Mine, South Dakota

Here is a sample of the data extract for a mine exported to Blogger using DRC 2.0 and my new Blogger API feature. Still hope to have this free update ready by Oct 15 despite wrestling with a bout of swine flu!

I visited Tin Mountain Mine back in the mid 80s when I was attending college at SDSM&T. I miss the Black Hills especially in mid to late autumn.
