Greetings, everyone! My name is Travis, and I am proud to call Franklin, New Jersey, the fluorescent mineral capital of the world, my home. My Great, Great Grandfather immigrated to America from Hungary in the 1910s and found work in the Franklin Mines. My Great Grandfather began his mining career in Franklin and later transferred to the Sterling mine in Ogdensburg, New Jersey, when the Franklin mine closed in 1954.

I am fortunate to have access to numerous private locations in town where I can dig for fluorescent minerals. I consider myself a digger, as I prefer to unearth these treasures rather than purchase them. I am eager to connect with individuals from all corners of the globe and expand my knowledge of minerals from various regions.
