This will be an opportunity to meet up with others at the end of a day to travel to some former mines in the Custer area to rockhound and collect. You can keep what you find. Quartz, rose quartz, feldspars, mica, and tourmalines are abundant along the surface and in loose dirt. We will park close to the mines, but there is a short walk and uneven, wooded terrain.
