From http://cashandtreasures.wikifoundry.com/page/Vermont, "From the town of Chester head north on Route 103 about eight miles. There will be an active mine in operation by Windsor Minerals on the left, it is posted and access is not obtainable. However, you can observe an operating mine from the parking lot and if you ask nicely they might let you do a little collecting along the edge of the filled parking lot for the trucks. Please do not dig holes in the parking lot and refill any that you make along the edge. "
