For a private group of individuals that wants to visit the Property, the procedure is the same as for a single person (see above), except that one person in the group must be designated the "Trip Leader".  The Leader collects all of the Forms and reviews that they are filled out completely and legibly.  Then, the Leader sends the forms, in one packet, to the DH LLC.  Included in this packet must be one check (made out to Diamond Hill LLC) equal to the number of visitors in the group multiplied by $15 per day.  (So, for example, if a group of three individuals wants to spend one day at the Property, the check would be for 3x15=$45;  if a group of three individuals wants to spend two days at the Property, then the check would be for 3x15x2=$90.) (For children younger than 16 years old, the fee is $6/day.  Anyone greater than 64 years old, who does not dig at Diamond Hill (for example, accompanying spouse, surface collector, etc.), is also charged $6/day.  In addition, check with the owners of Diamond Hill LLC for a similar discount for non-diggers younger than 64 )

Upon receipt of the completed Form(s), SASE and check, DH LLC will sign and return the permissions.  Alternatively, DH LLC can send permission via e-mail.  If permission cannot be granted, then DH LLC will contact the applicant and/or return the check.  No visitors are allowed on the Property without a completed Form signed by a representative of the DH LLC.

While at the DH LLC, it is the duty of the visitor, or Trip Leader, not to give permission for anyone else to be on the property, unless such person has a properly filled-out Form.  If the Leader asks to see such a Form (a signed verification for permission to be on the Property), and none is produced, then the Leader should inform the DH LLC, preferably immediately by phone, or afterwards if no phone is available at the site. 

While at the DH LLC, it is the duty of the visitor not to cross Diamond Mine Road and not to enter the property on that far side of Diamond Mine Road for any purpose.
