I am heading to Maine on short notice.Be staying in the Greenwood area.Arriving on Weds.Will be visiting the Frank Perham quarries of course.I would like to add a few more collecting spots.Anyone have any ideas about other sites in the area?Would love to hear from a local collector.
Thank you

You could try Deer Hill, Moat Mt, Mt. Apatite, all in that general area.

Did go to Moat Mt.&Mt Apatite.Happy these places are still open for collecting.I was completely amazed at the vast complex of mines at Mt Apatite.I spent most of my time exploring the many large tailing and many pits.Next time I will bring a camera.

Does the Maine mineral and Gem Museum own any other mines?

The museum also owns the Bumpis in Albany..
