This book is loaded with useless information. If your looking for someplace to mine gold or gems. This book will not tell you. It does however provide you with guide services contact information.So if your looking for a river or area in your state where you can pan some gold. Don't look in this book! I didn't see anything you can't see in the yellow pages of your local phone book.

I made the mistake of buying this book NE, as well as SE and NW site unseen hoping it was something like Eckert's series. I was very disapointed. Very few sites are listed, most of those are very well known sites. In fact all of the sites listed in some states are only for mining or mineral museums! This may be a good book for kids or someone just getting started, but since Eckert's book has been republished, I really would point them there first. In fact, 5 minutes on the web can locate all the mining museums located in this book. Save your money for the Eckert series.
