Field CollectingTurners Island, Lake Clear, Ontario

6th Jul 2014 21:28 UTCVandall Thomas King Manager

I have seen Scott Harper's approval of application for prospecting on Turners Island, Lake Clear, Ontario. Is he still the claim holder? Is it permitted to just see the locality or get permission to collect? I'll be in Bancroft at the end of the month and would like to see the spot. Any suggestions? I understand there is a boat rental place nearby.

That is very interesting! I'm going to be in bancroft from this tuesday through sunday and would be interested. I always thought the island was off limits... :(

Ratz. We won't be there until the 21st. Yes, that was my understanding, but there may be a dispensation available by the asking?

Scott Harper died in 2003. His mother contacted me last year wanting to sell what remained of his personal collection.


I believe that Turner island is private property. Perhaps someone at the boat rental would know who to contact. I seem to remember hearing that the property owners were hostile towards Harper during his work there.


Will you be in the Bancroft area on Sunday, July 27? The Bancroft club show is that day at the Legion. A really nice show!

Sad news.


BTW It turns out I can't make the show as I'll have to leave early Saturday morning. Haven't made the Bancroft show since 1992. Am glad I can at least get a week in before it. In 1982, I bought a flat of sperrylite crystals in matrix from Cobalt.

Sorry I will miss you at Bancroft as well Matt Neuzil. Please keep us updated and posted with your collecting experience in Haliburton/Hastings Co.

I may be doing more trout "fishing" but if I have any mineral collecting I'll post.
