2004 FIELD COLLECTOR’S AWARD WINNER To celebrate the 5th year anniversary of the Field Collector’s Award, trophies were given to all the past winner’s. A trophy will be given to future winners of the Field Collector’s and Sponsor’s award. This was prompted by the anguish expressed from past winners when they had to give up the award shovel. About the Award shovel plaque. The plaque acknowledges the year’s winner. It is a personalized area that the winner can express what they want on it. I will put just about anything on it you want (I don’t encourage modesty).
Ernie Schlichter of Sudbury, Ma, won this year’s Field Collectors award. Ernie took possession of the Collector’s trophy shovel for his 2nd time and it will include his 2nd personalized plaque. He also won the $200.00 cash prize. Chris Wong of Millbury Ma. won the Sponsor’s award. This year’s competition had five contestants. They shared their super passionate stories and their prized mineral specimens from their collecting adventures. This years presentations as well as all previous years presentations emphasize how interesting and entertaining rock-hounds can be. The five rock-hounds were:
Dana M.Jewell of Melrose, MA. Quartz
Ernie Schlichter of Sudbury, Ma. Pink Fluorite and Smoky Quartz, (Field Collectors Winner)
Chris Wong of Millbury, Ma. Herkimer Diamond, (sponsor winner)
