I used to hunt for them in some very tight spots deep underground in "non active" silver mines.

I read geology as a hobby and we did collect rocks, minerals and fossils.

You can go to Hueston Woods State Park in western Ohio and collect fossils, as long as you aren't doing it for resale. We had a great time walking in the river bed and finding horns, and some other goodies
