Graves Mountain Rock Swap and Dig
April 23-25th, 2010
Lincolnton, Georgia

Official Field Trip of the Mountain Area Gem and Mineral Association

The mountain will be open to collecting from 8 am to 6 pm each day. All attendees must stop at the welcome table to sign a liability release and make a donation (usually $10.00 to $15.00 per person) to help with the cost of providing porta johns and golf carts. The dig will end and everyone must be off the mountain by 6:00 p.m. each day. 

There will be an area in the parking lot for vendors to sell and trade minerals. If you would like to setup a booth, contact Junior at the phone numbers listed below. Hot food and drinks will be available for purchase on the mountain all three days.
