Back behind Wheeler High School in Fossil, OR is a fossil gold mine. The high school has all of the tools you need, they just ask that you pay a donation fee and off you go.
We were the only ones there digging at the time and so we settled into a place that it looked like other people had been digging. After a while, someone from the high school came out and yelled at us from across the football/baseball field to move down closer behind the baseball diamond’s backstop. Wow! Was he right…fossils galore!
If you have any extra fossils, I would like to have one for my rock collection.
