Jim

Good to see material from that area. I used to collect there as a child.

I lived on a farm in Landenberg so have finds from our fields and from the surrounding area! Mica, Schorl, etc.

PostPosted: Apr 11, 2021 17:00    Post subject: Re: Jim’s Mineral Collection  

I received a message stating that I reached a limit of 15 specimens and couldn't add any more to my collection page. Is there a way to get around this?

Thanks!

But how do you add to your collection pages? I see collections on FMF with many pages.

I am sorry I wasn't clearer in my questions. I did read the guide but did not see any option to edit a post once someone has replied to it. I would like to delete some specimens from "My collection" but cannot find any way to edit it.

If you send a PM to an admin we can edit some aspects of posts, but it does get very complex so we rarely do it
