Good evening Weis n Miners! We have some good news! Our club will be taking a trip to Iron Mountain to collect in a private pit in July! We should find specimens such as specular hematite, BIF, jasper, etc.

At our May meeting, we decided on two possible dates, now we need your help picking the one that works best. Saturday, July 18th or Saturday July 25th? (Please comment your option below šŸ‘‡)

*Details- transportation to and from is on your own. Time is TBD, but we are thinking of meeting in Iron Mountain around 9-10 am and collecting until 4-5 pm. Bring water, snacks, sturdy shoes, any other PPE you feel is necessary, and any hand tools such as a rock hammer. As far as I know, there is no toilet facility on premises, so be prepared! We will be near other businesses that should have public restrooms though.There is no fee, however the owner would appreciate our club members patronizing one or more of his businesses in town, (an ice cream stand and a couple restaurants, I think we can work up an appetite and make that happen šŸ¦šŸ˜).

A couple months ago, our club made a donation to the UW-Oshkosh geology department for use towards student field studies, in memory of Mike Riesch. Tim Paulson, Professor of Geology, sent us this wonderful picture of his students in the field near Baraboo, WI, thanking Mike.

Our club met at Jewelers Mutual for our meeting on Thursday. After a brief meeting, we all toured the Ron Harder Gallery of Minerals. I've been here many times and still get blown away by the fantastic specimens.

Greetings Weis ā€™nā€™ Miners,

Our monthly meeting has moved for May! This meeting will be held on Thursday, May 28th, 2026, 6 pm at the R Harder Gallery inside Jeweler's Mutual, 24 Jewelers Park Dr, Neenah. We will have a brief meeting, then we will tour the gallery. All ages are welcome!

On our agenda for May are updates on field trips for this summer/ fall, presentations, and any new business brought up by members.

At our April meeting we had an offer of an educational trip (no collecting) to the Quad Cities (Rock Island, Il area), directed by Dr Beth Johnson. She has done extensive research in the area and knows it well. This trip would be the end of June, exact date to be determined. Possible areas of interest are local museums & rock shops, the Channel Cat boat, Lock & Dam 14, Fryxell Museum (many stars need to align for this, but we can remain hopeful), and local geological features. Anyone attending would be responsible for their own travel and accommodations. This is about a 4-1/2 hour trip from the Fox Valley area. We will only do this trip if there is enough people interested in going. Please email the club at [email protected] (or you can always call or text my cell 715-610-6022) with your intent to attend so we can get a count and make a decision at our May meeting.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
Thank you!
