Tips & Safety On Field Trips
Disclaimer: It is your responsibility to ask permission from any private property
owner at any location when searching for gemstones before you enter any such
property. You may also be required to possess a fossicking license as per state laws.
Safety In The Workshop
- Take every precaution while on field trips like making sure you have the right
gear like gloves, boots, drinking water and basic supplies. - Fill in your holes after digging and beware of overhanging rocks and ledges
that could collapse while digging below. - Don't go into old mine shafts as most are unstable and air quality can never be
guaranteed. - Always wear safety glasses when breaking or chiselling on rocks.
- Watch out for snakes and spiders because as a rock hound you're more prone
to finding these critters than others. - Always close gates after you and always take your rubbish home with you if
there isn't a proper place to leave it. - Always tell someone where you are before you leave in case something goes
wrong! - Always have a first aid kit close by.
- If you haven't been to an area before draw yourself a map or have a map with
you so you don't get lost. Mobile phones don't work everywhere! - Wear a good hat and sunscreen so you don't get sunburnt.
- Never forget: FOOD, SNACKS, DRINKS & MEDICATION.
