I was thinking along the same lines with regard to my three sons who currently have no interest in my hobby, but 20 years from now, who knows, they may very well have.

On a day by day basis I record each field trip to a site or sites. Information recorded includes the GPS coordinates for each site (initial visit), geological observations, what techniques were used to recover specimens (eg pick & shovel, etc), companion details, the size/depth/volume of any hole dug, an opinion on prospects for future discoveries at the site (or nearby), landowner contact details, sketches of important site features, etc. Also the most important thing, a summary description of what was found.
The field notes have been useful for:
* Cataloging specimens later.
* Responding to queries from researchers on the geological setting in which a specimen was found, sometimes twenty years later.
* Providing me with an assurance that the 'sites' that I have discovered over the decades can be relocated by other people or museums.
* Providing something more substantial than just a specimen with a label. The context of the recovery of specimen/s can be extremely interesting and is more often than not lost.
The notes contain enough information so that anyone can relocate the sites that I have recovered my specimens from.

Henry, I think you are on to something; as long as the Federales don't then come to your house and take it all back from your grieving widow! Actually, my wife, REALLY likes your idea and hopes it plays out something like my scenario.........."here sir, take ALL my late husband's rocks back, their ALL yours"!!! I guess I will go along with her...............your idea is a good idea!!
