Field Trips

We run guided field trips between spring and fall, giving members the chance to locate and collect their own rock, mineral, crystal, and fossil specimens!

Calling All Rockhounds!

Field Trips run between spring and fall. Details will be updated here, and announced in monthly emails.

Some field trips take place at working quarries, where rules are very strict & must be followed. Other trips are to sites that simply require a decent pair of shoes and safe behaviour. Some trips are even open to younger children!

Our club members are also allowed on some trips hosted by other CCFMS clubs, and we open our field trips up to other CCFMS club members once our minimum number of members have booked.

Past Trips

Our 2025 field trips were very successful! They included:

  • Thunder Bay: June 28–July 1, 2025

  • Cobalt Silver Detecting: July 19-20, 2025

  • Bancroft: August 9-10, 2025

Before attending any field trips with the BLMS, members must read the safety information & sign our risk waiver:


On our Thunder Bay trip, members unearthed some amazing amethyst specimens!
