Southwest Treasure Hunter's Gem and Mineral Guide (6th Edition): Where and How to Dig, Pan and Mine Your Own Gems and Minerals

This is a listing of open to public free and for pay-mines and collection sites .Good contact info for checking ahead .Also museum's, great for on vacation with kids planner..as a hardened rock hounder i found listed museum's of intrest i never knew of and enjoyed.

Great book! Super tips!

The Southwest does not have very much in the way of gems like the Southeast book has. A little disappointing.

Good book, description of rocks, good pictures

Very disappointed on tje information gathered for this series. Expected a lot more, catfished from description.

I expected this to be about the rocks in this region, but it was about businesses that offer rock related services like tours. There wasn’t anything in the book I couldn’t find in a quick internet search.

This book is a total waste of my money..! It should have said,'Where & How to Dig, Pan and Mine Your Own Gems & Minerals at a Pay Site'. If I had of wanted a list of all the pay sites I would have looked them up.There is absolutely ZERO information on locations to go for free to dig/hunt gens and minerals or how to do these things.I am VERY disappointed with this book.

Kid friendly information. Not useful for even intermediate collectors that don't want buckets of rocks brought to them to pick through.

I was disappointed with this book, it was boring and not informative.
