Fee Mining And Mineral Aventures In The Eastern US (Monaco)

Much more than a fee mining guide, this unique book is a treasure trove of interesting sites to see and things to do related to rocks & minerals, gemstones, crystals, fossils, gold and other treasures. Whether you are an experienced rockhound or prospector, or a family on vacation, you'll find fun, adventure and maybe precious gems, gold or other hidden treasures of man or nature. Organized by state, 270 sites are listed in 31 states throughout the northeast, southeast, and mid-west, including 75 fee digging sites, museums, cave and cavern adventures, tours and historic and natural points of interest. Local history, regional attractions and camping information are included with times of operation, adress and contact information, cost, tools and supplies needed.

Have you always wanted to try your hand at gold panning, or digging for gemstones? This is the guide for you! James and Jeannette Monaco share their joy and experience of fee mining in the 31 eastern-most states of the United States.

Try panning for gold in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Maine, North Carolina or Vermont. Search for quartz crystals in Arkansas, Maine, Pennsylvania, or Virginia. Find fossils in Florida, Indiana, Maryland, and South Carolina. You can also search for agates, topaz, emeralds, garnets, rubies and much more.

Each fee mining site lists the mineral or type of fossil that may be found, contact information, seasons and times of operation, tools needed, price and whether camping is available. Divided by state, the book also lists all of the museums that have gemstone, mineral and fossil collections of interest to travelers, as well as listing caves that offer tours and parks and other places of interest to the rock and mineral fan.

The authors share their vast experience by sharing tips for finding gemstones, plus information on panning and sluicing for gold. They have also included suggestions for preparing for your trip, including types of clothing and tools to pack.

From Minnesota and Maine in the north, through Louisiana and Florida in the south this book is the perfect title to include on a family vacation.
