Location Type: Private Property
Details: Check out the website for more information on fossil hunting there. Other notes about this place is at the Travel Channel's Treasure Wiki Nebraska Page. It says: "General description: Hunt your own fossils in style with real western flair and at a reasonable price. The fossil sites are on private ranches that allow collecting through Homestead. The food is excellent and the lodging is first class.

Handy to bring along: 1. Buckets or backpack 2. Tools for Digging 3. Call ahead for details

I have included a link from the University of Nebraska for the hobbyist on the importance of the scientific value of fossils and how to properly collect them. The amateur collector can contribute to the advancement of knowledge. One of my most valuable finds, I donated to the University of North Alabama for future geologist to learn from and the general public to enjoy. After discovering the site , I called the University and set up a field trip. The site was some of the best Silurian fossils recovered in Tennessee. http://www-museum.unl.edu/research/vertpaleo/musnote2.html"
