    This Is Unacceptable; Do Not Buy
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2022*

I'm sorry, but this book should not be sold as it is not described as it is. The lower review scores are indeed accurate and I should have read them first. The layout of the book is wrong to the point of nonsensical. I cannot believe it was approved SIX TIMES now it's that bad. There is literally nothing in this book you cannot find on Google. I was lead to believe that it would be a handy little guide to show some places I could do some hiking and/or digging/searching.Instead, I got what is basically a phone book for museums that have rocks in them. The information here is so thin I would be ashamed as an author myself to have my name on it. Maybe before the internet this was okay to do since it would be concentrated information you could not easily get rifling through a phone book. But for the last 30 years we've had a means to get quick information like what is present in this book which makes it obsolete and unnecessary in its current form.Honestly, this is tantamount to fraudbased on what the title suggests can be found within. If it said 'A list of museums and an wildly incomplete list of places to dig or look' or 'An inaccurate and incomplete directory of rock stuff behind glass because they were already found' I would not be so angry at this entire thing. It's disgusting.The index is probably only included since it's literally the only continuous part of this book that contains the information ANY rockhound would want. I live in Ohio, and the only places to dig listed are Hopewell! For flint(which I find beautiful flint all the time without digging BECAUSE I LIVE IN OHIO)! Geodes can be found in abundance in Indiana and yet not one place in Indiana is listed to look for them in the index!Let me make sure it's clear for the publisher and/or author of this, hmm, extra long pamphlet: THIS IS NOT WHAT IT SAYS IT IS AND IT IS NOT USEFUL FOR ROCKHOUNDS OF ANY LEVEL! The index information should be included per state and the index itself should be a page directory for specific minerals and direct to the states. And even then the index could be excluded entirely. The state information should be flush with public places in the state that rockhounds can look and also what they can be looking for. Things such as exposed rock formations, what types of minerals, gems, etc have been found at locations listed in the past, even parks that allow some amount of removal since most of the time you can grab some up to a certain amount, include the state and federal rules on types of removal(digging, excavating, and so on)  and amounts(poundage or whatever) allowed. This is just what I could think of off the top of my head while writing this just now! That is what makes the content match the title. That will sell books that won't piss people off enough to ask for a refund.Do not buy this book now and do not buy a seventh edition unless there are pictures from the publisher proving at least some of this has been fixed. I cannot stress enough how useless this information is and the money wasted on its purchase to those thinking about getting one of the four volumes. I, and I imagine most others, wanted a handy little guide of places that aren't popping up in Google or on Maps or if you cannot tell that a quarry or mine is open/closed/operational/searchable whatever. There is no such thing as a rockhound that goes searching for rocks they can find and take home BY HOUNDING IN A MUSEUM! That is stealing and it is generally frowned upon. Those people aren't rockhounds, they are thieves, and I'm just not there yet as a husband and parent. Jail would be a bad look for me, but especially bad if I steal rocks from museum exhibits.To the authors and contributors Kathy, Stephen and Antoinette: do better. This is shameful for what it says it contains and doesn't really contain at all. Not meaningfully anyway. You know this. We know this. I am asking for a refund.

    Does NOT deliver what is promised
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2021*

I bought this book to learn about sites where a rock hound like me could find gems and minerals. It’s right there in the title: “Where & How to Dig, Pan and Mine Your Own Gems & Minerals”.Judge for yourself whether the book will help you. I’ve counted how many collecting locations are describe in each state. Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island — zero entries each. Indiana, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wisconsin — one entry each. New Hampshire, Ohio — two entries each. New Jersey — three entries. Michigan, New York — four entries each. Illinois — five entries. Maine — eight entries.There is much more information about museums and mine tours, but those don’t interest me.This was a total disappointment.
