[NJARC] Crystal Radio Parts

[Matt Reynolds]

I also tried to start\finish an 8th grade science fair crystal radio (about a year after I joined the NJARC), but never finished it either!


I did manage to achieve what you did not (but pretty much nothing else on the project...), and sourced Galena in NJ.  It's a haul for you, but I bought mine from the "rock shop" at the Sterling Hill Mine Museum in Northern NJ.  They looked at me like I was crazy when I asked them for it and told them what it was for (they did not believe me, or care when I described it to them, despite them asking.).  I have not made the time to mount any of it, and would have to look for it, but if you don't find any by an easier method,  I'll break off some of it for you.


I don't know much about geography in NJ, but if there are other caverns, caves, mines, etc that are tourist traps, I would guess they have rock shops too.  I don't think I've ever been to one that didn't have rock shops.
