Not Much Detail,
By Old Dave (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fee Mining and Rockhounding Adventures in the West (Paperback)
I liked the state histories but for a rockhound the book is not of much use. The book tries to cover too many states with too little actual information on each state. A good example would be Arizona. The book lists 14 sites for Arizona but only 4 are listed as diggings. Of that 4 only 2 are actual rockhound sites and the other 2 are fee panning at a tour. The other 10 of the 14 are Museums, caves, points of interest, and fairs and festivals.

Some useful digging sites, but more information about museums, caves, fairs, etc. There are better books out there for the serious rockhound.

Finding Fee Mine Sites,
By Edita M. Crick "Russell Crick" (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fee Mining and Rockhounding Adventures in the West (Paperback)
This book is supposed to be a comprehensive listing of fee mining sites in the western states. It isn't. This book misses many important sites, gives minimal information and in some cases is plain out of date. Disappointing in a book that claims to be up to date. I found more and better information on the internet. While some of the information in the appedicies were interesting it was not enought to justify the cost of this book. If you really want to find all the fee dig sites in the states concerned you would be better of searching with you favourite search engine or reading Rock & Gem Magazine. I do not recommend this book.
