The Royal Tyrrell Museum has A couple of lectures
about fossil hunting available online. 

One is about hunting dinosaurs in the Dinosaur Alley 
of the northeastern United States is:

Paleontological Notes from the Urban Jungle: Or... 
Conducting Field Paleontology in spite of Sprawling 
Holocene Overburden that is the Baltimore-
Washington-Philidelphia "Megalopolis" by Thomas 
Lipka, Royal Tyrrell Museum Speaker Series 2013

The other is about hunting vertebrate fossils in Alberta is:

To Hay River and Back: Fieldwork on a 370-Million-
Year-Old Beach in the Northwest Territories by Donald 
Henderson and Chris Capobianco, Royal Tyrrell 
Museum Speaker Series 2014

Finally, a quite well done and fascinating lecture 
about looking for Albertan dinosaurs is:

Dinosaurs in the Deep: The Sinking of the SS Mount 
Temple by Darren Tanke, Dinosaurs in the Deep: 
The 1916 Sinking of the SS Mount Temple and her 
Albertan Dinosaur Cargo. Royal Tyrrell Museum 
Speaker Series 2013

It would be fun if someone could find the money
to find the Mountbtemple and possibly salvage 
the dinosaur fossils that were sunk with her.

Yours,
