FFH Peace River Dig & Picnic Saturday
Please email us at [coming soon] or call [coming soon] to sign up.
ONLY FFH members can participate in FFH field trips due to insurance restrictions.
Recommendations:
Necessities:
- Florida Fossil Permit
- Shovel and screen/sifter
- Shoes that you can wear in the water. No sandals. Wear ones that stay on your feet such as dive boots, water shoes, or old gym shoes. I find socks that are tight around the ankle are good for keeping gravel out.
- Fanny pack for putting fossils in while you dig. A small backpack or a bag tied to you will also work.
- Containers to put your fossils in to take home some fossils may be fragile, a bucket for large items.
- Dry clothes and a towel.
- Sunscreen and a hat.
- Chair for the cookout or to take breaks in.
- Bug repellent
If you bring your kids….
This can be a wonderful family adventure and a great opportunity for your kids to find real fossils. These are some recommendations to make the experience enjoyable for all of you. If you have young children (about 8 and under)
- There should be one adult for each child
- Please be sure they have a life jacket on when they are in the river
- They get hungry and tired quickly bring snacks and something for them to rest on the shore
- All children must have shoes on
- Experienced members of the club will be there to help you get started and offer advice but your kids will probably still need your help in hunting
