Want to know where you have the best chance to find gold today?In fact, the deserts of America's Southwest are filled with gold... some of it occurring naturally and some of it hidden as part of... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Good book that will get you motivated to look for gold. Lots of interesting stories on buried treasure and lost mines. One critique of the book is that even though the book is about the desert, he omits any information about Death Valley. He believes that one should be an expert on the desert before looking for gold and treasure in that part of the country. Readers would have been better served with a warning if he felt it necessary and then information on Death Valley. Overall a good read and something I will be referring back to for a long time for weekend excursions into the desert.

Interesting stories about lost treasures

The stories in this book are intertaining at most. The areas discussed are mainly within indian reservations and state parks where it is illegal to prospect in most of them. As for the indian reservations, they probably don't allow it either. Although these area have been picked clean over the decades, I found it interesting to load up Windows Live Local or Google Earth to view the many map areas displayed in the book.
Another Good Book!
