Fee Mining and Rockhounding Adventures in the West is an expanded and revised edition, copyright 2002, by James Martin Monaco and Jeannette Hathaway Monaco. How great to go to a location to dig rocks and you know you will probably find something nice to bring home! The fees are usually minimal and no need to worry about if the location is a legal spot to dig, and you can dig up as much as the pocket book will allow. Sometimes, they have the rocks dug up for you at a small increase in price. Digging thundereggs is a great family treat and even the little ones can have fun and get involved. Fee Mining and Rockhounding Adventures in the West covers areas in the U.S.A. from Alaska and Hawaii over to Wyoming and down to Texas. This large 8 1/2" x 11" book with 240 pages has 94 collecting locations listed, plus 150 museums, fairs and festivals, with maps and directions, suggestions on what to bring, cost to dig, (which is sometimes listed as free), points of interest in the area, and information about the site such as camping facilities with e-mail addresses or web sites listed. Fee Mining and Rochounding Adventures in the West has collecting sites listed for agate and jasper, pink rhodolite, sapphires, silver, topaz, petrified wood, moonstone, thundereggs, geodes, garnets, opal, crystals, fossils, gold mines and where to pan for gold treasure and much more.
