A week's field class during the Easter vacation or Summer Term, in which information and techniques learnt during the year are applied in practive in the field. Particular emphasis is placed upon integrating all three subject areas in a field setting. For example, we will visit, interpret, map and record lithologies likely to contain gold; explore fluid dynamics and sediment transport by panning in streams for detrital gold, investigate gold artifacts in museums and look for and record evidence of archaelogical occupation of metal-bearing areas.
