Publication Day! The Pebble Spotter’s Guide is published today (10 June 2021). What a journey! 2 years, 40 pebbles & 2000 pre-orders (briefly a best-seller!) Also launched is my Pebble Spotters FaceBook Group facebook.com/groups/pebblesp… to share your pebble finds - join in the fun!

Back in Lusaka after my @BritGeoSurvey colleague Dr David Currie & I lead a 10-day #CriticalMineral field training exercise for @ZambiaMines & @CBU_ZM. Our Zambian colleagues are now prepared for when exploration opportunities arise from the aerial geophysical survey of Zambia. – at Zambia
Zambian #CriticalMineral field training started today, at @ZambiaMines Geo Survey Dept, also involving @CBU_ZM and lead by @BritGeoSurvey colleague Dr David Currie & me. Training today involved getting to grips with a soil auger! Great to be back in Zambia for the next few weeks. – at Lusaka, Zambia
