I bought it thinking it would lead me to places that I could prospect for gems and minerals. All that I found inside was a collection of places that you could prospect for a fee or museums. I'm in Mass and all that was listed on the few pages were like 4 museums. Complete waste of my time and money. If I wanted a place to prospect for a fee I could have found the same info in a few hours of research online and probably gotten more info out of the free postings online.Also anything outside of NY, NJ, and maybe PA is not the northeast. I don't think of Michigan other states around it as the northeast US.
