Very precise directions  2008-11-01
We went to some locations near Reno, NV. We tried 5 of them and 4 were accurate, 1 site was built on. The way the directions were given were precise and led us to some fabulous finds that locals don't even know. This is a book I would definitely recommand to other rockhounds.
Excellent resource  2008-01-10
Kappele has a nice feel for including the information a reader wants. I visited the seven McDermitt sites this summer and I felt like I was in good hands. The maps aren't to scale, but they guide you in pretty well. We also used a BLM map and the Delorme Guide (for Oregon) to feel more secure, plus we used GPS quite a bit, so pinpoint GPS readings would help. McDermitt is an overwhelming place to search.
I had less luck at the trilobite locale near Beatty. I got skunked, but I didn't spend enough time there to really give it a proper test.
The cost of the book would be prohibitive with color pictures; this is a low-cost guide book. A few more pictures would be good, tho. I like the writer's tone; he feels friendly and is probably someone who would be fun to go out and collect with.
Rock Hounds 2007-01-19
Good resources for finding specific spots directions are really vague but considering where this is at not bad. Would have liked to had color pictures. But overall a good buy.

Excellent book! The directions are easy to follow and you find everything the author says you will. I visited 6 sites so far and am looking forward to visiting all of them.
You'll never go home home empty handed 1999-07-25
This is a great guide . I have visited 10 of the sites so far . The directions are great - everything is right where they say it will be . I have found some really great rocks thanks to this guide. If you live in Nevada and like rockhounding don't pass this one up.
