I have had Gem Trails of Nevada for a about a month now so decided to go out and hunt for some Apache Tears. The book was right on the mark and we found plenty of them at the site along US 95 where the book said they would be. At the site we ran into another family that was hunting for Apache Tears as well. I showed them the book we were using and their little boy ran to their car an brought back the same book. In the future we will be going to other places as well.Based on our one experience, the book is well worth it.
The treasures we found out in the desert with this guide are amazing! It told us exactly what was there, how to get there, and how rough the terrain might be! Extremely accurate for the directions (front map is a bit off). Excellent field guide, I'd recommend it to any rockhounder. I actually had several Nevada natives tell me they never knew about some of these places. Had a great time! The fossil hunts were particularly fun and so rewarding to find a handful of real fossils right out in the wild!
Well this book is a little better updated than the rockhounding nevada 2nd edition, but still a lot of sites in active claims and some that are closed by the Navy, all sites on Fairview mountain are closed, road 839 is now 31 road to rawhide.
There is way too much information that has changed since 2002 which makes many things in this book useless. We were in Nevada this month and found buildings and locked gates where supposedly there was access to gem areas. We don't trespass like some people do so these places were off limits for us which makes this book of little value for rockhounding etc. An update is needed for this series of books to be relevant today.
Really like this guide. Made use of it when an out-of state relative came for a visit. Found a site close to home and had a wonderful afternoon. Directions are clear and accurate. A must for all rockhounders.
The wife and I want to start looking to gems and we got this book. I read through it today and the information seems right on for where to find them. It mentions private property area's and circles the area where you are likely to find something cool. If anyting this book is getting us out of the house during this wonderful weather and who would complain about that? We are going out tomorrow and hopefully we can find something interesting. Wish us luck!
This is a good guide but not as good as Rockhounding Nevada. Sites are similar somewhat but directions not as clear as the other one.
The book was better than expected and was very handyOne site was closed to the public now ((New properties investor has bought it))Book was received in a reasonable time for the Mail run.Thanks a lot we will do business again!
