Are there any places like that around Springfield or the Branson area? Farthest I can go is an hour any direction. Would prefer a place to pay to dig so I'm not trespassing.

Natural history museum on the south side of town has a place you can do that, also the little museum is pretty neat.

I didn't know they did digging. That's awesome! I love that place.

Stockton MO North of Springfield has a lot of quartz. Go a few miles North of Stockton and scout along dirt road cuts. There are quartz nodules and some geodes. Look for white rocks in the ditches

More scavenging than digging honestly 😅

Busiek is nice and you can find fossils all day. Just walk along the creek and pick away

Hey. I wouldn't recommend this please! It's still disturbing the habitat. You're taking cover away from those lizards you like. Besides being illegal.

You can get some cool fossils from a lot of the roadside bluffs along highway 65 and other highways that have been blasted open. But that's about all I can think of.
