This is a very helpful book for anyone interested in amateur gold prospecting in Oregon, Washington, or Idaho. The book explains the different types of gear that can be used, as well as specific locations that are productive and open to modern day prospectors. I first checked it out of the library, and liked it enough that I bought my own copy to keep as a reference.
I haven't tried any of the spots highlighted in the book yet, but it is very specific with GPS coordinates and directions on where to go along each river. The notes for type of gold found isn't very helpful...everyone location is "fine to small flakes". Very comprehensive of the areas available in the northwest though.
Awesome book that gives good directions to places to pan in the PNW. Already have tried two sites and gotten some flakes!
Not much on how to pan, mostly a log of all the sites, kind of like a insiders guide to each site.
