WELCOME

Did you know that there are several open salt collectors
clubs in the US? You can find information on them by going
to the Open Salts Information site listed below.

All clubs have joined together to publish a great National
Newsletter in color, with lots of information on open salts.
This is a Must for any collector of Open Salts
It is available through any club or direct. Information is on
the web site listed below.

We also have a National Convention every 2 Years.

Questions about Open Salts??

There is also an open salt discussion group where you can
post questions, comments, pictures and info on open salts,
and just discuss open salts in general.

You have the option of having an email sent to you when
something new is posted, or you can just go to the board when
ever you like. With the email option you do not have to go to the
board, except to look at pictures when posted or when you
want to comment or ask a question.I think this is a great feature
as you always know when something new is posted
