Field CollectingMaine / New Hampshire

As it is a family holiday I will probably only get a single day, so really looking for what anyone suggests as their top ME or NH locality. Are the Maine Mineral Adventures trips worth doing? I came across them on a web search and was thinking of taking my girls (9 &11) to have a go at sieving some of the mine run dirt, I think they might enjoy that more than chipping in a quarry.
Obviously not expecting to come home with a "Roebling" apatite or "Jolly Green Giant" tourmaline but any advice would be very much appreciated.

Another consideration is joining the Maine Mineralalogical and Geological Society for access to their private quarry: http://mainemineralclub.org/hammweeks
