I'm going to start by saying that if you have bought Dr. Hausel's books in the past, this one is too worth buying - but if you have NOT bought his other books, start here. A large amount of the information is repeated; it appears to be edited somewhat, and in most cases, additional information added that makes it worth the price for those of us who are "once or twice a year prospectors" and not professionals. That said, his information is world class and adds pieces of knowledge to amateur prospectors' tool kit that you cannot get anywhere else. I would say that this book has most of not all the information from the other books and makes owning some of his earlier works pointless, but if you do any kind of rock-hounding at all regardless of location the geology information that he presents is well worth the price of the book.On the good side, the inclusion of GPS coordinates for locations should make my next expedition out to Wyoming (at 1200 miles each way, I can only go there at best once a year so planning is important) make my next trip more successful. The new section on lapidary work is probably the best things I have seen in a book aimed at amateur prospectors/rockhounds or whatever because the value of the materiel is only there when it's usable - otherwise it's an expensive trip to gather driveway gravel. The book is well written with the target audience in mind, but the inclusion of those two pieces of information have made the difference between it being another rock-hounding book and a better piece of reference material for prospectors in general. In addition, the anecdotes and writing style prepare you for dealing with the people of Wyoming and other parts of flyover land in general - it can be enlightening to travel to what is essentially the definition of 40 miles north of nowhere and interact with folks of such limited perspective on the world that they think Cheyenne is a "city." No, I'm not knocking the incredibly friendly, nice and helpful folks there; everyone I have had the pleasure of interacting with is wonderful, and being able to go to an auto parts store and having the person behind the counter know what you are looking for to fix a problem is very refreshing. However, it's clear from the writing style that the author has the perspective of someone who has lived in those areas and it is very helpful for knowing how to deal with say, getting through locked gates placed across forest service roads. Keep his perspective in mind as you read it because knowing the etiquette of the rural areas becomes useful knowledge when you get out there.Down sides of the book - it is repeated information on the geology, but again, it's relevant. I don't think there is a way to write this book properly without the information included but it probably upped the page count by quite a bit. It's a bit pricey for a "fun" book, but then, if you have ever had to buy college text books, the book is a bargain. The information is easily worth it. Compared to what it will save you if you decide to go out there and prospect, a wise investment to make if you want to actually find something. Some of the additional things added, such as the references to himself and his martial arts hobbies take you out of perspective of the relevant contents of the book - but that's forgivable as writing style. (I guess that if I was to put that in literary terms, the switch from first to third person perspectives - the objective geology is written in a very scientific format and the sudden jumps to his own perspective and experience in a narrative style - throws me as a reader, but?)If I was to add anything to this book, it would be only about the experiences in the area and how to prepare for them. Getting your truck stuck in the mud (really, a description of the viscosity of the mud in parts of Wyoming is best described as warm grease) while getting to or from some of these locations can involve a 10+ mile "fun walk" to get help, if you can find it. (Of course, the locals laugh at you while bending over backwards to help you out because they all have been there and done that - still learning a good winch, 8 foot boards, and a high lift jack absolutely don't cut it in Wyoming is useful information for those of us who are not used to such things.)In addition, if you email Dr. Hausel with questions, he has always responded to mine - but if you ask stupid questions already answered in his books expect to get a curt reply. That said, he will answer even the dumb ones (having done that to him myself.) Not many other authors would take the time to do this.

Hausel has more mineral knowledge in his little finger than most university geology libraries. Novices will learn a lot if they keep a geologic dictionary handy. Experts will use it for a reference. Bureaucrats will be angry. I just wish I could go on a field trip of Wyoming with him. If you have any interest in Wyoming geology this is a must read!

Exactly what the father in law wanted, great buy!

Good book for my dad

There is no way that I could possibly learn everything the author has spent his career compiling! Short of having Mr. Hausel out in the field with me, this is the next best thing, as the book helps me quickly grasp the dynamics of geology in relation to the materials that I am searching for, and makes everything so much more interesting!

Very helpful

Excellent guide book, filled with helpful information for anyone interested in "Rock Hunting".

Buy this book first. You probably won't need any more. If you do, check out Hausel's other work.
