Continuing with the commentary that the CCFMS concerns are included in this ERO 019-6692 submission.

Please note that Central Canadian Federation of Mineralogical Societies (CCFMS) is identified below.
The CCFMS is a public entity in Ontario; therefore, does NOT expect "personal" privacy.
The CCFMS is not ashamed to publicly acknowledge our commentary as well as our involvement.

This is comment FIVE of 11 comments that the CCFMS feels are critical to the Ontario Hobby Mineral Collecting Guide:

Page 4, About hobby mineral collecting – examples of tools
• There is a bullet that states “examples of hand tools can include crowbars, picks, axes, shovels, sledge and small hammers.

• Axes are never used in support of mineral collecting, and may represent a danger to collectors and those around them.
• “Small hammers” may be interpreted to mean carpenter’s hammers or other such tools. It can be dangerous to use a carpenter’s hammer when mineral collecting because the steel is not designed for such use.

• The CCFMS recommends that this be revised to read “examples of hand tools can include crowbars, picks, shovels, sledgehammers, geological hammers, and chisels.”
