Table of Contents

Whether you are an experienced rockhound or "prospector," or just digging for the first time, with a simple rock hammer and a little luck, you too can strike it rich or at the very least, have fun trying.

From rubies, opals and gold, to emeralds, aquamarine and diamonds, each guide offers state-by-state details on more than 250 gems and minerals the United States has to offer and the very affordable "fee dig" sites where they can be found.

The authors offer easy-to-use information on the ins and outs of "fee dig" mining, complete with locations, costs, tips on technique, entertaining legends and important information on everything from safety kits to where the nearest restrooms are. Included are resources for use in identifying finds, polishing stones and having them made into jewelry and further pursuing this exciting, and possibly profitable, hobby.

Focusing on the northeast region of the United States, this guide covers:

Gem & Mineral Sites: Locations of sites with directions and maps, the gems and minerals to be found, hours, fees and equipment needed. Also includes info on guide services, additional attractions and features at each site, local camping information and more.

Museums & Mine Tours: Where to visit commercial and historical mines, as well as museums with exhibits of gems and minerals (for help in learning what to look for).

Special Events & Tourist Information: Listings of regional events involving gems and minerals, and sources of general travel and tourism information for every state.

Completely revised & updated.
