May 8, 2010, Saturday:
Mud Lake, West Hempfield Township, Lancaster Co., PA
On Saturday May 8th, 6 DMS members visited the limonite localities at
Mud Lake, in West Hempfield Township, Lancaster Co., PA. The collecting
locality, where goethite "bombs" and massive limonite can be collected
from the clays along ravine and lake areas, is located approximately 1
mile from the village of Silver Spring. Jim and Mimi Stauffer led the
trip.
After hiking about 1/3 mile over “hill and dale”, we arrived at the
collecting area where we collected numerous small specimens of goethite
by digging in the talus and scratching away the underbrush. Although
only several goethite “bombs” were found, it was still a very enjoyable
day.
