Trilobites are nicknamed "bugs" by trilobite lovers. I hunted here in the Antelope & House range in the early 80s when it was wide open with no mining claims anywhere. I'd camp out over the weekend under starlit skies before heading back home in Salt Lake City where I lived then. Found lots of trilobites that I still have in my collection.

You can also find some awesome Geodes at the Dugway Geode Beds here in Utah! You don't need 4-wheel drive but I do recommend it as you have to drive for a couple hours on washboard dirt roads along the Pony Express Trail. Take shade and plenty of water since there's nothing there but dirt and Geodes!

Since I live in Tooele I always take Hwy 36 to the Pony Express Trail and spend some time at Simpson Springs. It's an old Pony Express stop and it makes for a great mid-way point to get out and stretch before you hit the roughest road of the trip. I'm excited to see the geodes you find!

This looks like so darn much fun. How do you get in to so many places? Do you have to pay a lot or do they allow you to hunt for the advertising they get, or a mix of both. Can I go with you to one of crystal digging this summer? I have no car, and not a lot of money, but I'd like to hunt crystals for my jewelry I make. Like I said, I can't get around by myself, but would love to come on one of your trips. In the mean time, I'll keep watching and enjoying you and your gang. Happy New Year?

Trilobites molt their exoskeletons like modern-day crabs and lobsters do, so some of them are fossils of the molts not bodies. You can tell if it's a molt or a body by the "cheeks" at the top of the head, where the eyes are. If it's a molt it doesn't have them.
